I had four or five coaches texting me being like, guys that, coaches that were in those games being like, this is fucking bullshit.

They're like these kids work their whole fucking life, and some of these kids may never play a college hockey game or a competitive hockey game again, and they got to end their career in fucking Albany.

It's like, what the fuck do they even play for in the regular season?

One of the best coaches in all NCAA hockey, just a salt of the earth guy.

And yeah, Denver and Michigan, no shocker here.
