I see a whole bunch of guys saying the Big 10 Hockey league is a done deal. I see everyone agreeing that the driving force is money. I see one guy who is very skeptical about it being profitable. Now everyone just says he's an idiot instead of producing any type of statistics to support any financia...

If the CCHA and the WCHA are cut apart by a BTHC looking to make extra cash it would eventually lead to no cash. The WCHA and the CCHA are dependant upon the large schools and their fan bases to fund operations. There is a reason the WCHA does not rotate the site of the Final Five. Anyway you look a...

The Big Ten Network and Big Ten is all about making money. When has hockey ever had anything to do with making money. Isn't it a little presumptious to think that the driving force behind having a Big Ten Hockey Confernce is because of making money? Last time I checked hockey is not making any TV ne...

Not really... Ness was leading his team to an undefeated season at the time of the voting when Gardiner's team was out the of running. Also, Ness was considered the best player in Minnesota, just smaller than a typical NHL defenseman should be. Gardiner was a close second but didn't control games l...

The jury can't still be out. If the people doing the voting could wait to see what type of players these kids turn out to be it would be easy. AA will always get the nod over A, and the Gardiner/Ness is a toss up. Ness had great years of HS hockey. Thats what it's about. It's not who goes farther a...

This is your dumbest post yet. Go back to the early days and the entire voting process had nothing to do with what had already been done. It was 100% scouts trying to predict who would be the best and had nothing to do with who the best high school player was. Every year Mr Hockey and the AP POY ar...

Most of us wish the BEST player won every year. If the best player was really winning they could change the name to best player award instead of most hyped Gopher recruit. Considering half of the award winners (Ryan McDonagh, Brian Lee, Tom Gorowsky, and Nate Dey) out of the last eight selections d...
