Game 2 of Rivalry Series is on NHL Network now.

Gophers goalie coach added to Minnesota team.
PWHL Minnesota has added Jake Bobrowski and Mira Jalosuo as assistant coaches. Bobrowski was most recently the bench boss at Elmira College while Jalosuo was an assistant at St. Cloud State. They have also hired Johnny Seibel as a skills coach and Brennan Poderzay as a goalie coach.

We have a look ahead to the PWHL’s next draft.
Not much of a 
presence in this prognostication. Madeline Wethington at 39. Ex-Gophers at 20 and 32.
This sounds more than just an interim situation. It is quite a writeup for just a few weeks.

The PWHL releases their schedule
Terrible situation in the Swedish Women’s League (SDHL).
A poster on the USCHO women’s board had this
The Athletic reports Finland Olympian Sanni Hakala paralyzed from chest down after goalpost collision. I post because of her response: "This situation obviously sucks but I'm not scared to take it on." Remarkable.
The Delaware official announcement was today. I like the logo.

U.S. wins 3-2 in o.t.
U.S. falls short in tonight’s Rivalry Series game in Sarnia, losing in a shootout.
Strange timing since the games start in a week.

Season Preview: PWHL Minnesota
The new question of the day is how the last minute coaching change with Charlie Burggraf leaving the team, being replaced by Ken Klee less than a week before puck drops on the PWHL season. There's much belief that Burggraf wasn't a fit for the team and that internal conflict was brewing, so the change was made to start the season fresh.
I just saw that the PWHL added a rule that a short handed goal would end a penalty. Anyone have an idea what the logic is behind that rule?
Heise scores the 1st goal for the Minnesota team.

Man. They really want the MN vs BOS game to be close after that goal no goal. MN has been given 3 penalties since then.
Another penalty on MN.
Results in them getting their 2nd goal. Now can we stop with the one sided penalty calls??
Are they really called the Superior? I thought they didn't have team names?MN Superior win their first PWHL game 3-2!!

Wish the powers that be wouldn’t have scheduled the PWHL and the Gopher Women’s game tomorrow at basically the same time.

That would require the UofM to think outside the box.

The Gophers schedule was set quite a bit before the PWHL schedule, so, in this case, can't blame the UWish the powers that be wouldn’t have scheduled the PWHL and the Gopher Women’s game tomorrow at basically the same time.

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
I live less than an hour from Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, CT, so I went to the New York home opener against Toronto. Good to see Savannah Norcross playing in the pros, she's on the top penalty killing unit for NY.

I really enjoyed and appreciate Savannah’s time wearing the . Things maybe didn’t go exactly the way she would have hoped here, but she never took a shift off.

Again it would require the “U” to think outside the box.

Presumably by deciding in mid-December to throw away the scheduling/planning work they'd done for use of Ridder arena, transportation for UConn, fan expectations for game start time, and re-do all that in less than a month, in order to accommodate something that didn't even exist on Thanksgiving weekend.The Gophers schedule was set quite a bit before the PWHL schedule, so, in this case, can't blame the U

How would "thinking outside the box" have prevented this situation?
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
I didn’t mean to work up the masses. I just would have liked to attend both. I am curious to see how the first game frenzy for the PWHL game will affect the crowd at Ridder this afternoon. Nice crowd last night for a holiday season non-conference game.
Actually the Ridder crowd is very similar to last night.
Ooc are the women’s professional players required to wear full face shields or is it optional like for the men?

It is required. My guess is that it’s benefits driven
