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.

We absolutely need to upgrade our scoring. by wearendhockey
Top flight goalies are now commonplace and most college hockey teams are pretty disciplined when it comes to the defensive gameplans. The ones that are going to separate themselves are the ones who can find an extra goal or two on a nightly basis.
I think this year might be kind of an outlier too in that the coaching is going to look a little different as all of the protocols are altered due to covid concerns. Who knows, we may even scramble to replace a postponed weekend with a team we hadn't been preparing for. It happened somewhere in the east this weekend with a game quickly rescheduled after a covid-related postponement. If you're playing a team you have not really prepped for you better have the skaters to make plays.
