Even bigger week for Jewish hockey stars than we thought @JewishHockey
Wisconsin goalie Eli Pulver is the Big Ten's third star after he had a .936 save percentage in last week's split against Michigan.

These are awesome, but they don't win gold medals. Great goaltending does. 🇺🇸

This is the right answer. Enough bellyaching. Get up, put the coffee on, spike it, drink it. Couch nap to curling later. It's not rocket science.
Get up and drink at the crack of dawn the way the good lord intended. Medal round games at odd hours are an Olympic pastime & rite of passage.

Dylan Larkin and Zach Werenski connected on goals in youth hockey for Belle Tire, in juniors for the USNDT, in college for the University of Michigan and now in the Olympics for Team USA with a spot in the gold medal game on the line. The hell are you and your best friend up to?

The fact that a quarter of the team are Wisconsin Badgers has nothing to do with me reading the column, either

Taking a brief pause on hockey news to share this professional update. Truly a privilege to rejoin the best crisis firm in either Washington.
Our firm is stoked to welcome @JefferiesSam back after a decade of high stakes crisis work, including his most recent senior role at Starbucks, defending one of the most recognizable brands in the country. Welcome, Sam, to Dez. And welcome, Dez, to Seattle. 📈

More wins, more early specialization, fewer superstar Canadian goalies. Stop putting eight-year-olds in the net and leaving them in for a decade. https://t.co/r0moApeNmC

A return to the dominance Canada once enjoyed seems unlikely, but the search is on for the right path to train Canada's future goalies.
I have been saying this for many years. Getting rich daddies out of minor hockey and getting rid of the “super team” is hurting player development in a huge way. Wins should NOT matter in minor hockey. Right now are minor hockey model is a disaster for broad player development.

Still true
Actually have to credit Conor Garland at how good he is at getting under opponents skin.

Outstanding history breakdown here. Backdoor Badgers was an all time sneaky run.
Wisconsin Hockey 101: Part 4 1980-81 Overall: 27-14-1 WCHA: 17-11-0 (2nd) B1G: 5-5-0 (2nd) 🏆National Champions (3rd) This was, arguably, Wisconsin's most unlikely national title in school history. Posting just a 15-11-0 record from the end of November to the end of the season

Always trust Bucci's book recs
If you know someone who LOVES music (and especially music history) get them this book by Cameron Crowe for Christmas. It's one of those books that I can't wait until the next chapter.
