Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#315: Eric Schierhorn
Q: What are you going to be looking for this weekend out of Minnesota?
Schierhorn will be watching whether Minnesota can sustain its intensity and consistency against Penn State without the heightened atmosphere of the North Dakota rivalry.
#315: Eric Schierhorn
Q: What did you think of Wyatt Cullen there?
Schierhorn praised Cullen's skill and physical edge, while cautioning that one hat-trick game does not yet establish consistency as he adjusts to college hockey.
#314: Brad Schlossman
Q: Do you think they've got enough juice to get it switched to home sites?
Schlossman thinks the NCAA tournament will eventually move toward campus sites. He says support has grown over the years and that more coaches are reconsidering whether neutral-site regionals serve teams and fans well.
#314: Brad Schlossman
Q: What really happened?
Schlossman says Hakstol had not initially come to mind as a candidate, and the hiring process became clearer once Arizona State was negotiating with him and settling matters with Greg Powers. He waited to report the hire until he could confirm it.
Special: Brett Larson introduced to the media.
Q: Why is this the right job for you at this point in your career?
Larson said it's the best opportunity in college hockey, with unmatched tradition and facilities, and that his experiences across different programs prepared him to lead Minnesota at the highest level.
