This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Weird, even though the season is starting over a month later by wearendhockey
than it normally does, it still feels like it is sneaking up on us.
Wisconsin was not a good team last year. We were 2-2 against them and they had a losing record against 4 of the other 5 teams in the league.
We started out great last season. Then we played some good teams and had the only 6 game losing streak in Jeff Jackson's entire coaching history. Then finished the year off in completely forgettable mediocrity.
Hopefully this year's low expectations -- we're figured to be a mid-pack Big Ten team -- lead to a surprising finish.
Last year was fitting for 2020. I want to forget all about it.
