I want it noted on the record that I labeled Ty Hanson as being on "hat trick watch" literally ten seconds before he scored his hat trick goal.
If I'm going to get blamed for jinxing things, I get credit when I speak something into existence.
Can't have it both ways. 😁

It's just another vehicle for folks to show their complete lack of respect for other people and their boundaries.
Before gambling was widely accessible, it was fantasy sports. And if that didn't exist, they'd find another excuse. Anger is as much as drug as paranoia.

The speed with which sports betting is ruining sports is alarming.

Did this research while calling the game. Noting in case anyone thinks there isn't a degree of multitasking involved in this line of work. 😁
I believe that's the first hat trick by a UMD defenseman since Andy Reierson in 2000 against Michigan Tech.

And they DO have the ability to remove the penalty call in college hockey. I think we've seen that happen once in a game since the start of last season.
Kovich hit being reviewed for a major after Omaha challenges.
Call stays indirect contact to the head.
I think they could have reversed the call entirely.
Bad challenge by Omaha, down 4-2 with 16:30 to go in the third.

A Gramer dump-in just careened into the student section, leaving one UMD student clearly shook by a puck that just whistled by his kisser. It's a story to tell because it didn't hit him.
