It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for February 14, 2025. Four hours in the car - to work an even that took 70 actual minutes. How was your midwestern Friday on I-94? Kinda fitting for Valentine’s Day for some. Oh, but you’re here for the hockey scores. You’re not here for analysis or breakdown, you’re here for Just. The. Scores. If you’re here for more, I’m sorry to disappoint you - unless you want Bad 80s references. We’ll start with the women, because ladies first on Valentine’s Day.
