NCAA stuff

fuck cartman, and fuck south park.

 

Speaking of the fairer sex, Amanda Kessel out for the year.

 

never thought id see the day a juggalo said those words.

 

Colgate huh? ECAC success is making it difficult to treat them like the door mat, that makes me angry.

Providence and Northeastern. Buyers beware.

 

2014-15 points of emphasis
The NCAA men?s and women?s ice hockey rules committee each year issues a set of items for extra attention in the coming season. Here are the three for 2014-15:

Diving and Embellishment: Coaches, conference commissioners, coordinators of officials and on-ice officials must work collaboratively to rid the game of both diving to draw a penalty and embellishing actions to deceive game officials. The committee encourages conferences to develop ways to curb this type of behavior and if appropriate use supplemental discipline. Game officials continue to be encouraged to communicate as a crew and share information when diving or embellishment is in question.

Delaying Tactics: The committee encourages stringent use of the delay of game rules in place, especially during situations where a team may not change its players by rule (e.g., icing). In the rules survey, coaches and administrators overwhelmingly supported a crackdown on these actions. Players on the ice when play is stopped for any violation which does not permit a change of players, (e.g., icing) are required to go immediately to the faceoff location. Any player skating to the bench or otherwise delaying will receive a warning for the first offense and a bench minor penalty on the second and subsequent offense.

Goalkeeper Interference: Clarifying incidental contact between attacking players and the goalkeeper is a key initiative of the committee in this cycle. The goalkeeper must be allowed to play the position, but attacking players also must be given rights to legally obtained space. Through video and directives, the committee will provide more clarity on this issue. Essentially, the crease is the goalkeeper?s area and any contact that prevents the goalkeeper from playing the position must not be allowed. Incidental contact outside of the goal crease is allowed and attacking players have rights to the space outside the goal crease. Finally, deliberate contact with the goalkeeper (regardless of where it occurs) that prevents playing the position should result in a disallowed goal, penalty or both.



the intentions are all well and good, lets see the follow through.

 

the 50 NCAA players to watch this season.

http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/the-50-ncaa-players-you-need-to-know-this-season/

 

Eichel had a 2g 2a 3rd period in his 1st game last night.
Fuck you Jack Eichel.

Hudson Fasching w/ the gwg to open the Icebraker tourney w/ a 4-3 over Duluth.
UML took down BC 5-2 w/ an impressive game.
Alaska Anchorage over Maine in a matchup of the most northern teams i believe.
Bemidji over N. Dakota 5-1. Bruins prospect and N.Dakota goalie Zane Gothberg legally changed his last name. a little useless info for ya.

 

changed his name? did he get married or something?

 

i was thinking that maybe he got caught up in a sex trade scandal and was forced to go in to hiding and change his name.
Gothberg to McIntyre

the Ray Rice of NCAA hockey, Casey Desmith, still not in the lineup.
Good move Umile. the freshman they have in net now is huge and from all reports, not very good w/ terrible feet.
Casey Desmith may have ruined UNH's season before it started.

 

Now this is cool stuff for the NCAA:

Has Canada ever had this much coverage of NCAA games?

You know what? I had that loaded up last night and failed to pull the trigger on it. They seem to act exclusive to their Canadian market and Canada only. Im I reading too much into it? Will people in the US or can people in the US stream that stuff from a TSN hub? If not, why are they so exclusive? Is NHL.com or ESPN blocked North of the border? Im not too privy to this stuff and wondered if you have some insight or an opinion? What about the NCAA... can Canadians log onto that?

signed, an ignorant mofo.

 

this is awesome for NCAA hockey. should help a ton in recruiting Canadian players. Most honestly don't know much if anything about college hockey and now they can see that there is an alternative to CHL hockey.

Im schocked that the CHL good 'ol boys allowed this. Clearly they didn't have the pull to stop it.

some weird games in there starting w/ Notre Dame and Lake Superior this weekend??... Blaine Lacher and Brian Rolston don't play for LSSU anymore I don't think. Beanpot is always a great take, if you guys think Brronz/Habs is ramped up hockey you should check out the Beanpot. Lots of crazy.

 

Will, I know nothing about TSN other than it broadcasts to our northern neighbors. Giving those hoseheads access to NCAA hockey is awesome for NCAA hockey and will only strengthen the pull.

 

Oh fuck! We knew it was going to be a long season in Buffalo. Does it really have to be a long season for our Cornell Big Red too?

Bob, thanks for the post, any way.

 

well that sucks. he's a key player. his importance to the US squad may be overstated though, imho.

 

and yes i thanked you and minused you.
first and foremost, wanted to see if it was even possible. Secondly, I don't handle bad news well.

 

lol, when in doubt, shoot the messenger.
