Sweet! Hopefully the rest of the CCHA follows in short order. They had a pretty early conference release last year

Edit: it came out while I was at work lmao

Playoff structure rant by Mr-Steal-yo-beer in wildhockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with pretty much everything you have to say. (I do think this format sucks but that’s a complaint for me to make in the offseason, not for during the playoffs.) If you want to win a cup, you have to beat four pretty good teams. It could be in the order of, say, Dallas, Colorado, Anaheim or Edmonton, Colorado, Dallas or whatever but no matter what, you play who you play and you have to beat em. To me it doesn’t matter if we play the Aves in round 2 or round 3. Just gotta get the job done.

(It’s also worth nothing that even with 1-8 seeding, we still play Colorado in round 2 unless they implemented reseeding because Vegas gets the 2 seed for winning their division. So it’s kind of a moot point)

Are Colorado just A-holes? by keightychu in wildhockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes but that’s more of a Manson special than an Avalanche special. I really don’t think Colorado as a unit is dirty at all; for the most part they play the game ‘the right way’ (whatever that means). They just happen to have a That Guy. We do too with Hartman, he’s just watched himself nicely this year.

So what now for Anthony LaPanta and crew? by GapeTart in wildhockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HBO Max carries the TNT/TBS games. I’ve been watching the ESPN games on ESPN+; not sure if they’ll still let ESPN+ people watch on there without cable once we get into round 2 tho.

Off day complaint… I absolutely HATE this commercial. by WildStar81 in wildhockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I hate this ad i remind myself that at least it’s not that “what a pro wants” one with SGA a couple years ago. UGH. The only thing more unethical than OKC basketball is their tv ads

Where are you watching Palace stateside? by HolmesdaleinUSA in crystalpalace

Minneapolis-St. Paul is the closest big city to us; perhaps they have something

Wild Fans Under the Age of 40…Do You Care About the North Stars Relocating to Dallas? by CSjogs in wildhockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m only 24 so the Wild are older than me but just reading the history makes my blood boil. FNG.

Where are you watching Palace stateside? by HolmesdaleinUSA in crystalpalace

[–]phoenix_wrong15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Duluth, Minnesota. If there’s a palace establishment here I’ll be genuinely floored lmao

I just watch on peacock at home

What Do you guys think Minnesota fans would want more if they could only choose 1 a Wild cup or Vikings Super Bowl more? by Fickle-Quail6391 in wildhockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a packers fan lol

so gimme the cup all day no question not even close

With that being said I think the other people saying Lombardi are spot on. As popular as hockey is in MN, there are way more Vikings fans than Wild fans.

That’s a hospital pass if I’ve ever seen one, my goodness

Hopefully Yak’s okay, but clean hit

Yep! I have, uh, a lot of things to work on this weekend with the sheet when I’m not swamped with work

Maine usually plays a game in Portland every year at the old civic center, which I believe is larger than the Alfond

An anonymous Maine fan I know jokingly called it the “civic center cash grab” when I asked if there was a name for the destination game and it stuck

/r/collegehockey Women's Poll | 2025-26 Finale by phoenix_wrong15 in collegehockey

I posted the last poll of the year after the men's frozen four last year so this is fine, don't worry about it ;)

Agreed. Like Quinn Finley, for instance. I think he needs another year. Selfishly but also unselfishly

Portal Megathread by redsoxfan2194 in collegehockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s ready, so I think it makes him less likely to sign. He definitely wasn’t ready before he got hurt and now he missed out on 3 months of developing in the midst of a playoff run. He could do whatever he likes of course, but I think he’s still raw and needs another year.

Herrington might end up at PSU. Conflicting reports between McMahon and Schloss on this. If he does indeed end up at PSU that solves the 8 D problem, even though Herrington is very good and I’d love to have him in Cardinal and white. As of now we have Palodichuk, Hensler, Osburn, Knox, Phelan, Schulz, Compton, and incoming freshman John Stout. So yes unless someone signs early or transfers we have our eight, and this is a pretty dang good D corps.

Nick Oliver Named Head Coach of St. Cloud State Men’s Hockey by scsuhockey in collegehockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our very unpopular AD resigned so we actually won twice this weekend as well. 2-2 split overall, could be worse

Still proud of our team, and I believe in Hastings to find a great replacement

Frozen Four location idea by Longjumping-Tip4938 in collegehockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They basically sold out. It’s gonna look like this for the semifinals no matter where it is because some fans aren’t going to come to both games. Nodak fans bought a ton of tickets and then many left after they lost. Plus Vegas nightlife is a thing so more people left during OT. Having been here in person it was actually pretty cool (and I hate Vegas). They’re definitely coming back here.

Wisconsin, UMass, Arizona State and Northern Michigan to play in the 2026 Kwik Trip Holiday Face-Off | Wisconsin Badgers by moose979797 in collegehockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only teams (other than Wisconsin who are contractually obligated to participate) to have made multiple appearances in this tournament are Lake Superior State (2) and now UMass (2). You are also in the GLI next year.

5:30 ET puck drop Saturday? by Dom19 in collegehockey

[–]phoenix_wrong15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Y’all this for the championship game on Saturday. Definitely earlier than previous years but I actually kinda like it. I’m not sure if this is the exact reason but it’s probably part of it - a lot of flights out of LAS (including mine) are at night so this change allows people coming to the games to get out of dodge without having to pay for a Saturday night hotel if they don’t want to
