    The NCHC commish just went all Lee Corso on ASU. That's amusing.

      I don't follow the reference... but that statement on Twitter is an interesting one.
      MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

      Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

          He's fond of saying, "Not so fast, my friend!" on college football broadcasts. But I haven't cared about those in 10 years, so he may be dead for all I know.

          For all I know, Fenton is merely noting that they've not started the application process with ASU.

            The tweet seemed like one of those standard non-denial denials.

                Maybe, maybe not. I'd have expected something like "We haven't received an application from Arizona State or any other school. We'll review anything we get." or similar. I think that it's more of a matter of fact — they haven't had formal talks within the league or with ASU. But obviously they have talked — this kinda sounded like they were ****ed.

                  Sounds an awful lot like a done deal, but we'll see. Let's just hope the WCHA will be ok.

                    The unfortunate thing is seeing Ferris win the playoff and then win a game in the NCAA tournament. Somehow, the team who plays the least attractive hockey ends up as your most successful, and the stigma on the league grows even bigger. And even worse, it starts to encourage other teams that the way to be successful is to chip off the glass, dump and chase, clutch and grab, and hope your goalie can help you steal a game.
                    This comment makes me think you didn't see the Ferris-St. Cloud game.
                    Through regulation the score was 4-4 and shots were 33-29. But more importantly, there was some great north-south action and it was a really fun game to attend. I'd go so far as to argue it was one of the most entertaining games of the tournament.

                    I only saw a handfull of Ferris' games throughout the RS, so I will defer comment there to those who are more familiar. But, in my humble opinion, in the NCAA Tournament they represented the conference very well.

                      It's likely he saw the whole thing through black and gold glasses. A segment of the Tech fanbase increasingly loves to talk as if we were somehow screwed by the realignment, or the WCHA officials fail to dictate the calls that should be made, and I'm getting sick of it. We are becoming like the WCHA version of Freepers, seeing some conspiracy where it never existed. And no, I will not apologize for that characterization.

                        I would argue that's because st cloud dictates the pace of play. If you watched the wcha tournament, that wasn't really the case. They scored a goal and locked down.
                        Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

                          Sharks Recall Ryan Carpenter From San Jose Barracuda
                          Sunday, 05.1.2016 / 9:07 PM PT / News

                          Carpenter, 24, led the Barracuda in points (55) and assists (37) in 66 AHL games this season. His plus-20 rating led all Barracuda players (T-15th in the league) in his second full professional campaign, and his 37 helpers ranked T-18th in the AHL. In four postseason games with the Barracuda, Carpenter registered one goal, one assist and a plus-3 rating. He made his NHL debut on Dec. 12 vs. Minnesota.

                            I tried looking at UAA's schedule and it went to the 2016-17 season. There is no dates listed but it probably means the WCHA will most likely be releasing the composite schedule anytime now.

                              I tweeted the WCHA today and they said schedule would come out "by mid-month".
