It is impossible to wrap my head around the abrupt end of college hockey season. This isn’t news to you by now, I’m sure, but there will be no more college hockey (or NCAA anything) for the immediate future. The last 72 hours have been surreal. Many of you know that I teach at Mott … Read more

It all comes down to this weekend for B1G Hockey. Spoiler alert: Drew Claussen’s picks have Ohio State winning the regular-season title, and I have Minnesota on top.

I also picked Ohio State to sweep Minnesota. … Read more
