So yes, Dave wins this season. Finally. The old man wasn’t even close the last two years and the way he gloated last week you would think he’d won the Lamoriello Cup. I guess once you get old you look for the little things for satisfaction. Jim last week: 2-1-0 Dave last week: 2-1-0 Jim … Read more
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Wisconsin and head coach Mike Eaves enters Friday’s NCAA first-round game as one of the hottest teams in the country.

Colorado College used a certain mentality that nearly helped the Tigers win the Final Five and earn a berth in the NCAA tournament. We don’t need to win three games in a row. We need to win one game three times. “That was the mentality we used against North Dakota last night,” said CC goaltender … Read more
In this, the final, Monday morning wrapup of the season, I’m tempted to say that one I learned was that USCHO’s Jayson Moy blows away all competition when it comes to Bracketology. He did, after all, pick the NCAA tournament perfectly in all its details. Yet again. But I can’t use Jayson as the best at … Read more
