Do you then have to pay ESPN to gain access?

No, I have a "subscription". $55 per year which gives me about 7K channels including MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, NCAA FB plus a bunch of US Sports channels which includes the ESPN family.

Thanks much

Are you doing the TSN+ streaming? I have a Firestick and get all the ESPN feeds.

I’m doing TSN+ streaming.
I think the Frozen Four should be on regular TSN

People complain that the U-Cup is not on TSN. I don't think the Frozen Four would be watched by many in Canada. TSN usually does one semi and the final.

TSN does NFL and other US sports because they can make money.

Not going to lie, the lack of an underdog is kind of boring for this frozen four.

Either a tiebreaker between the most winningest programs will change or a tiebreaker between the fifth winningest programs will change (and establishing a new tie for fourth winningest program).

The rich get richer.

Is it just me, or do others take pause when reading such announcements issued on April 1st?

Jimmy Snuggerud will return to Gophers for his Junior year.

Jimmy Snuggerud will return to Gophers for his Junior year.

Good - and smart - for him.

Good - and smart - for him.

Wondering who made that call - him or the Blues?

Public narrative from Blues management leading up to the decision indicated they were expecting Snuggerud to join them when the Gophers exited the NCAA tourney.

Filling the DI men's national championship tourney scheduling gap ...

• USCHO: A first look at the 2024 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four: Boston College, Boston University, Denver, Michigan

• MSN/Detroit Free Press: Michigan hockey enters third straight Frozen Four with 'nothing to lose,' but a point to prove

• MSN/Boston Herald: BU coach Jay Pandolfo knows his way around the Frozen Four

• Denver Gazette: How the Denver Pioneers' Frozen Four history stacks up nationally

Ed. Note: Odd how Boston College gets so little attention from main stream sports media sources.

BC gets no love because they're at the end of the Green Line.

Sounds like it's based on NIL and he's potentially making six figures.

Thanks for the public transit explanation. I thought maybe the local media didn't like the Jebbies. A sentiment I could completely understand.

Collin Graf signs with San Jose.

Having grown up in Boston and played hockey there, the city is strange when it comes to college sports. It IS a pro sport town, the city never really gets behind its NCAA programs. The fan base is mainly students and alumni of each of the 4 schools. The Beanpot gets more of the average hockey fan, but that tourney is heavily based in tradition.

BTW BC, BU and Northeastern are all on sections of the greenline, BC and BU on the same line. Harvard on the Red line.

My wife & I walked to the Terriers' home game that we attended back in 2013, turning my wife into a college hockey fan as soon as the band started playing. So it seems we missed the opportunity to absorb The T Traditions.

Has there been any rumblings in the BU world if Jay Pandolfo would be interested in listening to an NHL HC job?

Good - and smart - for him.

Another year to get stronger and increase his chances of having a successful NHL career...seems too many players chase the money and few realize how much of a Meat market the the NHL is...and sometimes agents don't have the best interest of the player in mind

Frozen Four game chat underway in THIS THREAD.

Any idea who's streaming this game for Free?
