I doubt anyone was watching my Leafies take on the Devils last week. I was almost asleep when Mitchie Marner made an obscene move. Stick handled the puck though his legs twice before shooting! The Devils' announcers were impressed. "We need a name for that move. If the lacrosse move is called, 'The Michigan', maybe that move should be called, "The Ohio State'!    Noooooooooo! I nearly threw my mug at the TV

Love the analogy XM. The… Love the analogy XM. The first date my wife and I went on was a dairy cattle auction at Brubachers' Sales Arena in Guelph, Ontario. As a former large animal veterinarian, I do have a question for you. You said that your animals are unvaccinated, yet, you're purchasing livestock at auction. Am I missing something here?
Great question, BV.

Great question, BV.

I'm a USA Hockey Level 4 coach and have to agree with Alex about the analytics as a ticket to higher levels of coaching. Hockey is a much smaller pond that basketball or football (also a frozen pond), so there are much fewer opportunities to move up. The best example of someone who did move up is John Cooper. Started as a part time coach at a Catholic H.S. in Lansing and slowly worked his way through Junior ranks to minor professional ranks and eventually to the 'Chell.

How many goals would my man Auston Matthews have this season

if Zack was still on his left wing?

Love this summary XM!  We have a lot in common. I'm a former large animal veterinarian who grew up on a dairy farm. My daughter is an African American hockey player (Pioneer high school).

I'm fascinated by your experiences as an African American hockey player and as someone farming in the North. My father used to use the term "heat units" at least  4 or 5 times a day

 

Thanks for sharing your unique experiences!

100% agree Jimmy. It's completely unnecessary. The best hockey in the world is Olympic Hockey (especially when Canada wins gold) and there's no fighting

Don't sleep on the Islanders. I just hope Patty Roy doesn't fight Alex Lyon tonight! Lyon is a bit fragile

That is sweet! I drive a white 323e but I have a feeling that plate is not available in Michigan!

Also, his papa is an M.D. and M.D.'s have been known to throw that word around

Thanks for clarifying. Now that he's jettisoned Aaron Rodgers I will give him a listen

Endorsing vitamins is a positive? Don't waste your money at the GNC store, just eat a healthy, well balanced diet. At least, that's what they taught me in medical school

They're nervous about Sheronne's recruiting. As they should be

Very nice piece. One question for the board:  If JH brought the Super Bowl trophy to Ann Arbor would you care? I wouldn't cross the street for a Charges  Super Bowl trophy.

 

And we are much better off with Sherrone!

It makes no sense that Livonia doesn't give out letters for women's hockey.  FWIW their team just beat our Pioneer squad twice in the past 3 weeks!

I-L-L baby!  My oldest is a H.S senior, loved our tour in Champaign last fall but wants to stay closer to Ann Arbor. Good luck with that was our response!

Former large animal veterinarian here. Thoroughly enjoyed the crop and livestock update! As my dairy farmer father liked to say, "August is the best month to be a farmer!"

I have 2  for Rutgers on the 40 yard line (about 40 rows up) that I would like to sell or exchange for 4 crappier seats.

Thanks for that detailed overview. Looking forward to seeing the bros together!  As far as not getting drafted, I don't think it would be interview related. Recruiting sites have him at 5'9 which means he's probably 5'8. Awfully tough to play defense in the Chell at that height unless you have the offensive skills of a Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar

Vegas has more U of M connections. McCrimmon's boss, George McPhee lived here for the years in between his stint as Caps GM and Vegas GM.

He spent time on the ice at Yost as my assistant coach! His daughter and my daughter were teammates on a U10 team!

Don't give up hope just yet..

I just called over to the AAUM and they said that they have not processed all the packages yet.  I was in line by 8:15 and I still haven't heard about my ND-SD package either.

 

It wasn't the time that sunk your order, Profit

They fill all the 2 game packages first.  The only way to get a single game is if there are tickets left over after ALL of the packages have been filled.
