Pioneers Outlast Minutemen in Double OT

Springfield, MA—It took two overtimes, but the Denver Pioneers defeated the Massachusetts Minutemen 2-1 in double overtime on Tristan Broz‘s shot from the slot, which beat goalie Michael Hrabal. This kept the Pioneers in western Massachusetts for a few more days. Broz caught a pass from defenseman Boston Buckberger at the right hash mark and skated along the top of the right circle before firing…

the college hockey lore is like very easy to understand but also difficult.

there’s the big league, NCAA - national collegiate athletic association, which you could compare to the NHL. there’s standing for all the teams combined. there’s D1 and D3, those team dont play against each other, D3 is sorta like the AHL.

then there’s the conference like BIG 10, BIG 12, ivy leagues known as ECAC, hockey east and many more. each team plays two series of two games again each team in their conference, one home and one away.

but they always play non conference series, for example this weekend Michigan (big 10) is playing st. cloud (NCHC). these non conference series switch every year.

now for the standings, there’s one big standing for the whole NCA, those are gonna be the small number’s next to a team’s name on the scoreboard on your screen. ans theres also conference standings. those standing only take the games you play against your own conference, while the NCAA ones take in count all the games you’ve played in the season.

each conference needs a winner, some have tournament some just give the trophy to whoever is in the first place when the season ends.

when all of that is done then there’s the nation championship. four quadrants in the bracket, four teams in each quadrant so a total of 16 teams. there’s a number 1 seed in each quadrant, whom is the better team of the 4 in the rankings. the first two rounds are called regionals and they take place near the end of march over a span of 5-6 days. when that’s over there’s a winner for each quadrant, and there’s going to the frozen four.

the frozen four takes place a little before the middle if april in a NHL arena, last year it was in Tampa, this year its going to be at St. Paul, home of the Wild. there’s the semis and then the finals. all of these games are a one and done deal, if you lose your out, if you win you keep going. even for the championship game, which is the college version (ish ish) of winning the stanley cup.

i never meant for this to get so long omg, but yeah that about sums up the whole college hockey lore. i really hope you meant it in the way “explain what it is” way and not the “why is every obsessed with it” way 😭😭

THE UNOFFICIAL ST. LOUIS BLUES PRIMER PART TWO: DEFENSEMEN

COLTON PARAYKO (A)

Info: #55, RD, STL 2012

Last season: 4 goals + 27 pts

History: He's actually pretty interesting and I would recommend just reading through his wikipedia for a more in-depth read. He went undrafted in the WHL, then got dropped by his AJHL team and had to pay to tryout with another team to become their 7th defenseman. After being drafted, he played at the University of Alaska Fairbanks for 3 years, then came up to play with the Blues and took several online classes during his rookie season in 15-16 to complete his degree (Business Admininstration)(he is so boring sometimes).

Profile: FAST when he wants to be, plays a ton of minutes on the first defensive pairing but isn't very physical despite being tall as hell (6'6). He's definitely improved from last season and has already nearly doubled his scoring in half the time. Usually on the first or second PP units.

NICK LEDDY

Info: #4, LD, MIN 2009

Last season: 2 goals + 23 pts

Info: From Minnesota and drafted by the Wild, went to college at the University of Minnesota, and by the time he left he had his rights traded to Chicago. He played there and won the cup in both 2013 and 2015, then played for the Islanders for a number of years. Traded to Detroit, then in the beloathed Sundqvist + Walman trade and has played with the Blues since the 21-22 season. Currently midway through a 4 year extension

Profile: VERY good puck protection and stickhandling, though it's not flashy. Great 200-foot player, can and will take the puck from one end straight to the other. Refreshing on a team that sucks ass at zone entries. Making $4 mil a year to be a top pairing defenseman which is damn good if you ask me

Other: My mom kept mixing up him and Bortuzzo. Unfortunately this won't be a problem anymore.

JUSTIN FAULK (A) (Faulker, Flack)

Info: #72, RD, CAR 2010

Last season: 11 goals + 50 pts (career high pts!)

History: Played in the USNTDP, then played at the University of Minnesota Duluth where he won a national championship and set a school record for most points by a defenseman. Played for the Hurricanes from 2011 through the 18-19 season, including being a co-captain and an alternate captain of the team. Traded to Blues and immediately signed a big 7 year contract. 23-24 season is his first as a Blues alternate captain :)

Profile: Solid two-way defenseman, plays a lot of minutes. Good a frequent shooter, a great blueline shot presence which allows lots of tipped goals a rebounds.

Other: Was in the top 20 for longest streak of consecutive NHL games played (17th??), but recently missed 5 games due to injury :( also he's my Favorite

TOREY KRUG

Info: #47, LD, undrafted

Last season: 7 goals + 32 pts

History: A rare undrafted veteran! He played for Michigan State University for 3 years, then signed with the Bruins and made it on the roster full-time by the 13-14 season. He graduated from Michigan State after doing online courses for over 5 years (Political Science, originally Finance but couldn't get credits online). Played with the Bruins in the 2019 SCF against the Blues, and his hit on Robert Thomas actually caused a new rule to be added! Signed a 7 year contract with the Blues as a free agent in 2020

Profile: Underized (5'9) but will throw around both his body and his hands. Decent offense and solid defense.

SCOTT PERUNOVICH (Scotty)

Info: #48, RD, STL 2018

Last season: 2 goals + 20 pts (AHL)

History: I've been very impatiently waiting for this guy's real rookie year for like four years now. He played for Minnesota Duluth (where he took the defenseman scoring title formerly held by Faulk), won the NCAA Frozen Four Championship, and won NCHC rookie of the year. He's a bit undersized (5'10, 175lb) and this has had him battling injuries for the last several seasons. He played 19 games with the Blues in the 21-22 season (including the winter classic!) but spent the entire 22-23 season on the Springfield Thunderbirds recovering from injuries.

Profile: has yet to score an NHL goal but has been a great scorer both in college and in the AHL. Physical player, not much NHL experience with under 50 games under his belt and no concrete defensive partner. Still finding his groove on a team that has struggled defensively

Other: Won the Hobey Baker award in his Junior year of college! Was originally ranked to be drafted around the fourth round, but due to his collegiate performance and Blues scout Keith Tkachuk (!!) he ended up being drafted much earlier

MARCO SCANDELLA

Info: #6, LD, MIN 2008

Last season: 1 goal + 2 pts

History: played his first several years in Minnesota, then in Buffalo, and was traded to both Montreal and then St. Louis in the 19-20 season. Only played 20 games of the 22-23 season due to an early season hip injury and surgery, and then another lower body injury in April that took him out for the rest of the season. He'll be a UFA at the end of the season.

Profile: Pretty run-of-the-mill third pairing defenseman, sometimes a healthy scratch. Blues have struggled defensively and are trying to develop younger defensemen, so he's often the one to be sidelined for them.

Other: his instagram username is @ scandeezy6 which is fucking awesome

TYLER TUCKER (Tucks)

Info: #75, LD, STL 2018

History: Technically in his sophomore season! Played 28 games last year, had his first goal and his first TWO fights. Played for both the San Antonio Rampage (RIP) and the Utica Comets (temporary affiliate) before debuting in Nov 2022. Not on the Blues roster at the moment but has played a non-insignificant amount of games with them!

Profile: A strong defenseman who is very physical. Hasn't had much of an opportunity to prove himself at the NHL level, but has had good offensive seasons in the past. Currently taking a break from the press box for a conditioning stint in Springfield :)

Can you say a little bit about congenital disorders in royal lines? I know some of the fun ones, like the tendency towards hemophilia in the Romanov line, but I’m curious how much we can blame on cousin marriages and the like

You may already know this, but the ultimate poster children for "Jesus Christ, Don't Marry Your Relatives" were the Spanish Habsburgs. Their systemic practice of inbreeding, usually by marrying uncles and nieces or aunts and nephews, culminated in Charles II of Spain (r. 1665-1701), who had one of the more horrifying family trees imaginable and a litany of severe physical and mental disabilities. The phenomenon of rulers marrying their close relatives was also more of an early modern practice, rather than medieval. Indeed, medieval people were subject to the laws of "consanguinity," which prohibited them from marrying relatives within a certain extent of kinship. Complicated rules of blood, marriage, and even godparent-hood dictated who was related to who and whether it was permissible to marry them. This was often politically manipulated, as kings often claimed a heretofore-undiscovered degree of relation when trying to get out of an inconvenient marriage (for example, this was the rationale used in Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine's divorce in the mid-twelfth century, even though they both quickly remarried to spouses to whom they were more closely related). If you were a king and wanted to marry someone within the prohibited degree, you had to apply for a dispensation from the papal court in Rome, and a lot of politics (i.e. whether the pope liked you or the potential implications of your marriage) went into deciding whether you got one.

In the Spanish context, this began to change in the late 15th century, as the so-called "reconquista," or "reclamation" of Spain by Catholic Christians, by expelling or outlawing the Muslims and Jews who had lived there for centuries, reached its culmination in 1492. This was supported by a set of restrictive new social, religious, and legal frameworks, such as (Nobody Expects The) Spanish Inquisition and the rule of limpieza de sangre, or literally "purity of blood." (Yikes.) Spanish Catholics were forbidden from marrying often-forcibly-converted Jews (conversos) or Muslims (Moriscos), in order to, you guessed it, preserve the "purity" of their superior Christian blood. The Hapsburgs were also influenced by this premodern eugenics principle, and began to marry their close relatives in order to maintain their "pure" royal blood and to make sure a direct descendant of the Hapsburg line was always on the throne. (After Charles II's death, there was the War of Spanish Succession, so... that did not entirely work out for them. As well as, y'know, the deformities.)

not sure if this is a hot take, but tell me how the University of Minnesota just got screwed over again for the ncaa playoffs regional.

like we are the #1 overall seed, yet not only did we get two other minnesota teams in our regional, BOTH are in the top 10 (according to pairwise).

All three of the other 1 seeds in the regionals got WAY better/easier paths to the frozen four. This is partially because Penn States gets to “host a regional” and gets to be at home. It’s also because they wanted to send teams closer to certain regions (I.e. Harvard to Bridgeport, etc.)

But like, NCAA JUST MAKE IT FAIR. Why are we screwing over the #1 OVERALL SEEDED TEAM!

It’s a little something I like to call the anti-Minnesota agenda. You’ll see it in any sport at the U, but for some reason referees and ncaa folks hate the U!

We ended up in Fargo bc we finished first in the pairwise, so we get the closest regional. Why the other 3 are out east idk? The rule is that a host school gets to play at home if they make the tourney. If UND, had made it, we probably would’ve either played them in the first round or been at a different regional.

Why MSU and SCSU ended up in our region, I have no clue. It’s the toughest region out of the 4 by a landslide. I mean the U split both series with SCSU and MSU this year.

On top of that, the CCHA (MSU’s conf) and NCHC (SCSU’s conf) are full of junior hockey age outs while the B1G has more “true freshman” (ie Jimmy Snuggerud and L*g*n C**l*y). Tell me how a team of 24-25 year olds playing a team of 20 year olds is fair. Hm?

I mean my family will be at the 2nd round regardless of who the gophers play should they beat canisius, but I’m sick and tired of the death region and the obvious hatred of my school.

Why the NCHC is the best

When it comes to college hockey there's no denying that the NCHC is one of the best conferences. Formed in 2011 the NCHC quickly established itself as one of the best conferences in the NCAA with some of the most talented teams and players in the country. One of the reasons the NCHC is the best conference is its commitment to Excellence on and off the ice as every school that is in the conference has great academics and a lot of the players on the team have great grades. The NCHC has consistently produced top-tier Talent. Many of the conference's alumni have gone to the NHL and AHL. The NCHC has also been dominant in the NCAA tournament with multiple teams making very deep runs and winning national championships. With its success on the ice the NCHC is also known for their passionate fan bases. Every year the NCHC at least has one team finish in the top 10. As the NCHC is growing it's making moves adding Arizona State University to their conference next season this will be very big for all the teams and players as it will make the competition better and make the conference bigger and also who doesn't want to go down to Arizona.
