But the fallout from the decision of two coaches leaving is affecting the MSU program in a negative way that I don't think most anyone saw coming.
Really? Nobody could foresee that when the coach that's been the driving force left for another team, that several players would depart to play elsewhere at the same time? That's not all that unusual to see happen. Does I suck for Mankato? Of course. But if you didn't see this coming as soon as Hastings took the BADger job, you don't really understand how people think
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
I know this is several theoretical dominoes down the line but I’d take Jonny Sorenson back for his fifth year if Largen bolts.

Didn't he say recently that he wanted to stay with the same team for 2 years to complete his graduate (MBA?) recently? Not sure how transferring B-schools after 1 year works.
Sounds like the Mavs have their coach and will announce today or tomorrow.

I can see if you factor in things like cost and the neighborhood, Mariucci drops down the list fast. If you are just talking the arena, Mariucci is nearly he top IMHO.
The Kohl was included but not 3M. ?
Apparently they reviewed Mariucci in 2017....and haven't been back.

Lots of inaccuracies in their "review"
It doesn’t matter what criteria are being used, it doesn’t make sense that certain arenas are there while Mariucci isn’t. Also cute is how they claim to like causing heated debates, but have the comments turned off.

The most glaring of which is their "math" doesn't add up...
- Food & Beverage: 3
- Atmosphere: 5
- Neighborhood: 4
- Fans: 5
- Access: 4
- Return on Investment: 5
- Extras: 5
Averaging these scores out, I come up with 31/7 = 4.43. However, they have it rated at 3.29.
I spot-checked the other arenas on their top 25, and the averages on those arenas seem to add up, so Mariucci SHOULD be tied for 2nd with the REA, Amsoil, Comption, Kohl.

Food and Beverage must make up 95% of the score. LOL. Dennis Morrell is bad at math.Apparently they reviewed Mariucci in 2017....and haven't been back.

I know he was from the enemy Whioux, but AL Pearson, the guy with the White Cowboy hat that organized Whioux trips for many years passed. I guess it's only appropriate he passed during the FF week.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

I made them aware of the error and they said they will fix it tonight. RESPECT!
Let's go overtime!

Great individual effort by Casey to tie it 1-1. however, The Q looks very solid early.
I don't care who wins, just as long as they kick the crap out of each other 
Quillan!
2-1 Quinnipiac

Melrose not on the announcing team for this game. Looks like speculation that he was drunk in game 1 might be correct.

Bucci's issue is his inflecTION gets out of hand, even if the pay isn't really dangerOUS!

Feels like Quinnipiac is hanging on for dear life right now
I don’t think Q will be able to hang on. Michigan 5-2.

Did someone replace him??
Was he that bad in game one?
I’ll have to watch the broadcast when I get home Sunday.
Q takes the lead early in the 3rd with their second bank it off the net pusher goal from behind the net.

If Quinnipiac hangs on Bob and company better remind Close about 40 times before Saturday night to watch that bank shot.
If we draw Q, hopefully we can jump on them early and make them play our game. The trap they play is tough.

Yes Colby Cohen moved up from between the benches into the booth.
Yes he was that bad.
Sounds like this was planned according to the CHN guys and Chris Peters but it's definitely weird.
Unfortunately for us he will be back Saturday night it sounds.
Cohen seems alright...
Q is very good at poke-checking. Michigan is faster but also seems out of sync a bit. Q plays good D for sure.
Important PP for Michigan coming up.
CLANK!
Q almost scores twice after killing the penalty ?
No matter how this game finishes Q has definitely proven they were worthy of their ranking. They are quite good and giving Michigan everything they can handle.
The coaches interviews on the benches need to go away. So stupid...
Q scores!!
4-2!!
Portillo looks like trash...
Big goal… 4-2 7 to go
Forgot Q lost to UND in TAmpa. If it is Quinnipiac, hope we don’t underestimate them like we did with Union who was an older team. Quinnipiac has some experience and talent
It's okay I'm sure we've never lost to a small ECAC school in the title game right??
Ports tried his best to kick the net off as he fought the puck but Mariucci this isn't.

Gophers better beat the ever living shit out of this team
Portillo has occasionally been slow to get up when he gets down in the butterfly. Even on their first goal he seemed to flinch and stayed still instead of hugging the post with the puck behind the net.

He has looked like crap in the 3rd. Q should have at least 1 more if not 2.
Let this be a massive lesson that we need to go up early and hang on on Saturday. Trying to come from behind against this team is not easy.
Crucial to have a lead after 2.
Michigan has not looked like their normal selves this game. Like half a step off. If we come out on all cylinders like we did against BU, Q is gonna get exhausted
I would much rather face Q.
If they can beat Michigan and Minnesota in back to back games they deserve it.
If we lose, I'd rather lose to Q than Michigan.
I like our chances though.
