Quote from: adamw on January 31, 2026, 10:26:31 AMFor poops and giggles, I just added another column to this page:

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/almanac/funfacts-ageavg.php

It's the age for each player as of today, weighted by the amount of games played. And each column is sortable.

Was just thinking about this - is there any way to like, assign each freshman a 1, sophomore 2, junior 3, senior 4, grad student 5, and then take the average of those numbers? To have kind of a... "runway meter", so to speak, where high numbers mean you're probably looking at significant changes the next year, vs low numbers meaning you probably have a "core" that's going to stick around for a few years yet.

(Didn't want to revive the Yale thread, lol.)

Interestingly, looks like most of the really good teams this year are super young. I suppose that tracks a bit, considering that your high-drafted prospects tend to start college at 18 or 19 and tend to cluster on the really good teams.

Quote from: ugarte on February 22, 2026, 05:22:14 PMstill laughing that we didn't get hit with a too many men on the ice right before the double minor.

hughes goal was nice; werenski fighting through the defense to get him the puck was beautiful. hellebuyck getting the secondary assist was pretty cool too.

i do not love 3x3 OT to decide a 5x5 game but i have to admit i could be convinced to watch a full game of firewagon 3x3 every once in a while. Game to 11 or something because 60 minutes of it would be boring as hell. I don't feel great about what that says about me but it's true.

Yeah. It makes for a cool sport but it's a different sport.

Agreed. It shouldn't decide a gold medal game but 3v3 is fun from time to time (and for regular season stuff I don't hate it that much). Pretty sure there's that 3ICE summer league that does 3v3 for the full game.

Anyone notice that Canada didn't exactly hustle on the backcheck. The Yanks had oodles of time to finish that goal.

I guess they just really trusted... [checks notes] Jordan Binnington.

Quote from: Dafatone on February 22, 2026, 02:42:15 PMObligatory whining that 3v3 OT is lame.

Objectively correct take. Should be 5v5 for the gold medal game, and honestly all elimination games.

However,

It was easy to scan through, just swearing and hate.

At least I got to enjoy one of the most exciting games that I've seen.

my irrational hatreds for very, very specific things are unmatched 😂

I mean, that's pretty much the initiation test for this board.

true but when it's me people don't like it as much 😔

Anyways I fucking called this [in a Devils server]

And another Miracle reference!  Fucking Jim Craig.

And another.

We're up to like 8 now huh 😂

What's more annoying? Miracle on Ice or the '72 Dolphins?

Well hopefully we'll stop hearing about Miracle soon... 72 Dolphins will probably never be beat.

Been a pleasure watching the game with you, Stereax.  See you Friday, hopefully!

For sure for sure! See you Friday!!!
