February 22 was already the best hockey birthday thanks to the Miracle on Ice. This doubled down on that. What a start to the day.

I'm sure your mother is lovely.

Hah, me too.  But really, I'll fly you out to give you a chance with her!

Really though, it's funny you've flipped on CH since you've realized he's Shaka's boy.

Hint: Ben, Chase, Tre, and Sean are in that club too

Hellebuyck saves 41 of 42 shots against that lineup, but McCavid - with zero points today and on the ice for both U.S. goals - is named tournament MVP.
Make it make sense.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 08:52:00 AMWhat doesn't make sense?

Players are free to transfer any year they want. As others have mentioned and everyone knows interested schools will reach out through back channels to gauge interest. Or, players will reach out letting schools know they are going to move on.

There is zero reason for a school to call another coach to see if they are going to "cut" a player.

Plus, there is zero reason for a coach to tell anyone they are going to "cut" a player. It would be a terrible look if Owens heard from Syracuse that Shaka wants him out.

"If Syracuse wants him, they will offer him a package he can't refuse. End of story."

The above is the part of your post I was referring to.  There's no absolute certainty like you describe above.

Hypothetically, Syracuse might want him.  But even if they do, saying "they will offer him a package he can't refuse. End of story" is silly. 

Let's go!

Not a bad weekend for the Hughes family. 

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 09:57:10 AMLove the result, but a game with these stakes should be settled by real hockey. You wouldn't the NCAA Tournament to be decided by a 3-on-3 game.

I mean Canada completely outplayed us, but great goaltenders can individually send the dominant team home!  I like the 3 on 3.  Makes it more exciting.

I disagree!!!

GOAL!!!

Love the result, but a game with these stakes should be settled by real hockey. You wouldn't want the NCAA Tournament to be decided by a 3-on-3 game.

Legendary performance from Connor Hellebuyck.
