Embarrassing from Kucherov.

Slavkovsky is a great player, but he should not fight. Not his area of expertise.

Refs in Tampa should go to both benches before the second period and just ask very nicely that they play hockey. If the players don't want to, oh well. Y'all tried.

Refs not even trying in Tampa anymore.

Montreal diving like the Stars. Thought St. Louis was above that.

Josh Anderson whining for calls is funny, even when he has a point.

Get these guys some cards. Something to do.

This is delusional lmao.

As Elliotte always says... Are you a team, or are you a club? Tampa and Montreal are teams. No question.

GRAB A PARTNER

Tampa v Montreal has been even meaner than I expected, and I expected it to be mean. This ain't for the faint of heart.

I like the 11/7 idea for tomorrow. Makes a ton of sense with the extra day between games.

Brandon Hagel.

Hynes is 2-for-2 on his goalie decisions, in my view*. * - I'm not giving him credit for sticking with Wallstedt into Game 2, that was not a decision lol

Sean basically says it here... Dundon got hella lucky with RBA. Good luck finding that in Portland.

UMD 2026-27 (pre-Christmas) Oct. 2-3 vs LIU Oct. 9-10 at Augustana Oct. 16-17 vs UMN Oct. 23-24 Bemidji h/h Oct. 30-31 at CC Nov. 6-7 vs Miami Nov. 13-14 at SCSU Nov. 20-21 vs ASU Nov. 27-28 Friendship Four Dec. 11-12 at UND

In case anyone's wondering, UMD returns to Arizona Jan. 15-16, 2027.

Mick Hatten of St. Cloud Live caught up with the four SCSU Huskies who left via the transfer portal, including future Bulldog Barrett Hall. Some more insight on why Hall chose the Bulldogs, while others followed Larson to the Gophers: www.stcloudlive.com/sports/colle...

Guess that means he made the team. (Hermantown's AJ Francisco did as well.)

PODCAST We talk Wild-Stars, Frozen Four/Vegas, and more with Pat Micheletti. omny.fm/shows/the-br...

Gotta think that exhibition is landing at the tail end of UMD's holiday break. With no non-conference scheduled over that break, it's going to be a long one.

Didn't watch a second of it live because some of us need sleep to function (respect to Jon and others who do not). But the YouTube cutup certainly confirms these words. What a freaking war last night. (Frankly, both in Denver and Dallas.)

Why do we can these suicide passes? The guy throwing the pass isn't putting himself in danger. The old hospital pass term always worked better IMO.

This is probably going to be regrettable on my part, but this feels like a game that could go until Thursday and Pittsburgh won't score.

What is the record for lowest percentage of shot attempts to end up on goal in a game? Asking for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Bless whoever decided to send Rico back to Oxford to kick off his NCHC run at St. Thomas.

Hear UMD men's hockey coach Scott Sandelin's first public comments about transfer additions Barrett Hall and Peyton Platter on today's podcast. omny.fm/shows/the-br...

UMD has hired Brooke Olson as its next women's basketball head coach. She won a truckload of awards while leading UMD to the 2023 NCAA Division II title game. She takes over for Mandy Pearson, who left for the same job at St. Thomas.

PODCAST We review the 2025-26 season with UMD men's hockey coach Scott Sandelin. Included are his first public comments about transfer portal additions Peyton Platter and Barrett Hall. omny.fm/shows/the-br...

Guess he won't be Abel to start as scheduled tomorrow.

Odds this was actually filed against The Atlantic and someone didn't confusingly sue The Athletic instead?

Last call. We're up in 138ish minutes.

Happy 4/20 day to all who celebrate. Enjoy your Doritos.

It's amazing how many teams in these playoffs are straight up horseshit on the power play. Not because they aren't talented, but because they're getting badly outworked. Montreal excepted.

Jake Guentzel straight up cost his team a game with some straight up stupidity.

Insanely idiotic penalty from Guentzel.

Your regular reminder that if you want better odds for competitive playoff games, watch the NHL.

Money For Nothing on the entrance is a nice touch. They picked a song that was charting the last time they made the playoffs! (Bruce.)

To the person at WrestleMania holding up a Cole Caufield jersey behind the ESPN set: Bless you.

DOM BACK ALERT

US opens the tournament Wednesday against Czechia. 9am on NHL Network.

Porter Martone, everyone.

Pat Maroon's kid plays for Muskegon. He just got in a fight in their game against Dubuque. I'll just say: That apple is nestled right up against the base of the tree.

Sid's trying, man. His effort is really standing out on a night where it looks like most of his teammates are skating in quicksand. And Geno just scored as I'm typing this. We'll see if that drags them into this.

If this is what the Penguins are wearing for all their home playoff games, we're gonna need Philly to win this series.

Did someone trip the fire alarm in Dallas?

I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will not get too excited. I will...
