Re: College Visits
So, because I like to make everything about me... My dad was a pilot and I kind of grew up in airplanes. (I'm not giving you guys ammo to edit.) I "flew" many planes as a youngster and was pretty sure that's what I was going to be when I grew up... Until we had a "falling out" wh...

Hopkins is in some kind of rut. They got absolutely shut down by MI in the B1G tourney and they really looked lethargic this weekend. I don't see them getting past the Hoos, unless they have a pretty radical shift. Nice that the game is down the road, though.

A few interesting stats from the UVA win. Payton Cormier scored 8 goals, breaking the UVA record for goals in an NCAA tourney game. In the process, he also broke the UVA record for goals in a season. And on top of THAT he broke the NCAA record for career goals. It's good to play alongside Connor Sh...

That MI v. Denver first round game is sneaky good. Michigan has figured something out on D, holding a team to 4 goals in a championship game is impressive. After allowing Hop to up 6-1 in the first Q, the Wolverines clamped down and only allowed 1 more goal(!) the rest of the way in the semis.
