Man, Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch are a LOAD for an opposing team to handle. Sabres win and have an identical record as the Red Wings. Both with 23 games. Sabres are a playoff lock. They are the 3rd or 4th best team in the Conference. Kevyn Adams GM of the year.

The standard is the standard and, presently, the standard is Denver. Nothing gets by their coach David Carle. He sees all and has a voracious appetite for excellence. The players are mature and composed. You can't be great without being competitive & composed. That's Denver.
Honoring the legendary Bob Daniels, the fifth-most winningest coach in NCAA hockey history before the @FerrisHockey@NMUHockey game. A historic moment in @CCHAHockey.
