Re: vs. Northern Michigan (12/5-6)

I do not think the sky is falling as bad as some are reacting on here. Was it a bad loss? Absolutely! ….. is this team automatically to be lumped in with all the 3rd and 4th place BG teams of the last decade? I don’t think so, this team is more talented than most of those teams. You are you going to...

Re: @ Minnesota State (11/7-8)

Goaltending just has not been good enough tonight. Basically giving Mankato the game.
3 really soft goals tonight.

Re: @ Minnesota State (11/7-8)

Moore just can’t stop a thing any longer.

He looked the same at Niagara, just can’t make fairly routine stops.

Now in his defense the clearing pass by Sternj was garbage and two PP’s, but he’s struggled with even basic stops and puck control.

Re: Recruit Update

Not sure what Guimond says about the quality of play in the USHL and the QMJHL…. Here’s a guy who couldn’t stop a beach ball over the last two seasons in the U, yet he goes to the Q and is a superstar??? He had a save % of sub .880 over two years. Maybe he played on bad teams, not sure. Just seems l...

Re: 2024-2025 season

Coach Williams said in the post game presser that “if you would have told me in September that we’d have one period to win to go to the CCHA championship game, I’d would’ve shook your hand and took it” So I guess when the coach basically said it went as well as could be expected, who am I to disagre...

Re: vs. Lake Superior State (2/28-3/1)

I love Willy’s quote in the post gamer…..” I’ll have to check my unofficial score sheet here”. Classic.

So I guess, as coach said, there is no official lineup in the CCHA apparently now , so I guess he can sub guys in between periods now…..lol.

Leadership of the league is a joke.

Re: vs. Lake Superior State (2/28-3/1)

They went on that winning streak because Stoever was standing on his head, not because they got any better at scoring. Since his injury the goaltending has been average and they still score the same 2’ish goals a game. Thus those wins are now becoming loses. This team is going nowhere this year as t...

Re: @ Bemidji State (2/21-22)

So I’ve basically watched the entire season in silence, mainly because I had zero, no expectations, for this team coming into the season and just wanted to see how it all unfolded in Williams first season without jumping to conclusions or being overly optimistic/critical. My thoughts heading into th...

Re: Offseason 2024

I actually heard this was ASU a couple weeks ago. There are more “CHL” silent verbals out there too. I think hiring Williams back is going to really be a bonus for BG when it comes to this developing situation. He not only knows all the WHL recruits, he also knows all the machinations of the CHL AND...

Re: Dennis Williams Part II

Seems like he was BG’s first option and BG was a job he wanted to get back to. I like his statement that no other college job interested him. I’m glad both sides were able to forget past transgressions and move forward. Also glad the University didn’t go the cheap route as well. They were willing to...

Re: Dennis Williams Part II

Interesting move. You don’t see many CHL coaches going to D1. Which I guess begs two questions.

1) Apparently the fences between BG and Williams have mended over the years.

2) Lends credence to the belief CHL players will be allowed into the NCAA TP very soon.

Re: 2023-2024 Season

The CCHA has locked up the 16th seed in the NCAA tournament. Under the great leadership of Lucia we now have replaced AHA as the worst league in college hockey. The Alaska schools both higher in the pairwise as well. The winner of MTU/BSU will earn the right to be boot stomped by BC or BU. Pretty sa...

Re: CCHA QUARTERFINALS: @ Michigan Tech (3/8-3/10)

If I was the AD I would call George McPhee and ask him who he thinks would be a good hire for BG.

McPhee’s Vegas organization is playing chess while the rest of the NHL is playing checkers. Man is a hockey and personnel genius.
