    But I bet those guys were hellish hockey players.
    The Moon? My guess is the B1G has its sights on bigger things, like Mars and/or exploring all of the other planets. I did mention that a UMn guy is the only person to design equipment on ships that have gone on missions to every single planet in our solar system, right? So who cares about not going back to the moon??? I mean really, come on, is that all you got?

      There's an internet meme with Fry from Futurama that says "Not sure if trolling, or really stupid." That picture is worth a thousand posts.

          Not JUST Stephen Paulus and Larry Novak, but David Soul, Zonday, the drummer from Babes in Toyland, YANNI, and Nobel Prize winning Bob Dylan, too.

          Oh, and 7 former NHL All-Stars, and 3 Hockey Hall of Famers, and the most US Hockey Hall of Famers and of course the most US Olympic Hockey Hall of Famers, too. Along with the most Hockey Gold Medal winners and medal winners in general, and DOUBLE the # of Olympic participants than any other school, too. Edit - Wheeler is a current NHL All-Star.



          Phil Kessel - 700+ pts in his NHL career, and on route to having his best point total ever this season. When I checked yesterday, he was ranked #7 in scoring in the NHL.

          Blake Wheeler - 567 pts in his NHL career, and on route to having his best point total ever this season as well. As of yesterday, he was ranked #4 in scoring in the NHL.

          Thomas Vanek - 729 pts in his NHL career, and is on route to having one of his best point totals in the last decade. As of yesterday, he was ranked #67 in NHL scoring.

          Kyle Okposo - 438 pts in his NHL career, has had to deal with injuries this year, but has been climbing the point rankings from in the 200s to #142 now.



          Those 4 players, in the 8 seasons they were not playing for the Gophers, but could have, scored 310 pts in the NHL, just shy of 40 pts a season.

          That's pretty good for young men barely able to drink legally, if they were. And former #1 pick Johnson scored 101 pts in the NHL the 3 seasons he could have been playing for the Gophers. And Nick Leddy scored 62 pts in the NHL while he could have been playing for the Gophers. That's a lot of missing offense from just 6 of the players that left early, Wheeler the only one of them who played more than 2 seasons in college.


          And Minnesota is not alone in losing a ton of its best talent early to the NHL, Michigan and Wisconsin both send more to the NHL than all but UND, too.

          For the last 3-4 years I've been keeping tabs on which team's alums score the most points in the NHL, and UMn, Wisc & Michigan have all been ranked among the Top 4 each season, with UND never doing better than 3rd.


          PSU is just still a baby of a program, so it will take a few years before it's impact on the NHL can be seen, and Notre Dame out produces all but UND and DU, so now that they are in the B1G, will that change? With them being ranked #1 in the nation right now? I doubt it. And OSU hasn't produced much of anything in the way of NHL talent, even less than the worst in the NCHC, so if they all of a sudden start producing more than those bottom teams in the NCHC, how will that be explained by NCHC apologists???



          So... Great musicians, history altering Astronauts, AND some of the best hockey players EVER.


          I wonder what percentage of Natl Titles B1G women's hockey teams have won??? B1G women's hockey > the rest of the nation's women's hockey teams combined

              B1G alumni probably focus their energies on things like inventing or developing things like

              mass spectrometers
              particle accelerators
              radio
              Television
              Computers and
              the internet

              And those are just the things I know the University of Minnesota helped out with. Guessing the other 13 B1G schools may have contributed to a few innovations over the years.

              None of you guys would be able to be having this conversation/debate/discussion using the internet and your computers, unless it was for the B1G.

                The Big Ten Conference had zero to do with the invention of the radio or television, you moron. Along with all of the other things that don't have anything to do with sports that your latest episode of verbal diarrhea mentioned.

                        The Big Ten conference had nothing to do with the development of any of those things either.
