Believe it or not an English soccer team got dangerously close at one point. They were just on the cusp of promotion to the premier league one year and then in a 5 year stretch dropped 99 spots! to the 6th division, which is one higher than where youth academies and high schools play.

And mittelstadt with another disgusting assist through two defenders right on the tape.
The announcers are riding his Richard right now.

On Mittelstadt watch...

As I understand if Minnesota loses against wisconsin in their next game they miss out on the NCAA tourney? huge blow for the gophers but does end Casey's season earlier than expected

They’re playing Penn state again right now
It’s the Big10 tourney
Best of 3
If Minnesota doesn’t advance to the finals, they’re pretty unlikely to get a wild card spot

So if they lose tonight or tomorrow to Penn state then their season is likely done

Minny is up 4-3
2nd is almost over

All the sooner Casey can join Buffalo or Rochester

OMG these Leafs jerseys. Whoever thought all white jerseys on white ice would look good is nuts. Even their gloves are white

I’d like to see him get a chance to play in the actual NCAA tourney
But i wouldn’t expect Minny to get far anyways
They’re just ok this year

I wanna say they’re ranked like 11th or 12th right now

Get him signed
Maybe play a few games with us & then go down & help Rochester for the playoffs

I’m pretty sure Penn state won the Big10 last year

They’ve become just as legit as Minny or Michigan or Wisconsin

The ice looks like gray poop.

If the Leafs had blue jerseys I think it would be fine, but all white just looks bad.

And the Caps have the opposite problem, way too busy.

I’m a big football fan...
but yeah

I can just read how fast a guy ran the 40, or how many bench press reps he did

And like i was saying before...
everyone knows by now what throws Mayfield & Rosen & Darnold can make
They don’t even make them take a snap from under center
That would even be helpful to see how their footwork is

It’s all about the interviews (mostly) when it comes to the QBs
Idk why they even make them throw?
Pretty dumb imo

I heard that whoever loses this series almost certainly isn’t gonna be able to make it with the way they do the rankings

Idk a ton about that though
I think it’s mostly mathematical

Not like the Hoops tourney where they just pick & choose who they think is best

I will give the nfl credit. They found a way to make the combine and the draft "must see tv" for a lot of people and they are profiting from it big time.

Yeah theyre in all likelihood finished if they lose again.
If it was like basketball theyd get in this year for sure. Tourney is here in st paul this year.
5-5 now.

I don’t get the stupid channel the game is on
I’ll probably try to check it out online at some point,
or at least watch the highlights since you were saying Mittelstadt had some nice plays

NHL should hire their marketing execs from the NFL or NBA

And change the damn rules so there’s more scoring!!!

If the NFL can do it,
then get a damn clue Bettina!
