Caleb Heil is goaltender of the week again in the USHL.

But it speaks volumes that Boisvert didn’t see the ice 3 x 3. That has got to be a slap in the face.

Will be interesting to see if he stays another year at BU, or signs with Chicago after the season. Still think he could be a better pro than Oliver Moore, so be interesting to see if he gets his mojo back. From 18 goals as a freshman here to 3 at BU. Seems he made a poor choice.

Don’t worry they will make it up to Duluth this weekend, which would work well for Denver as well.

That would probably work out great for our chances, as Verhoeff would probably sign with the NHL team that drafts him after next year.

The way Western played last night, we should sweep them as well, but I don’t know that you can keep the Plante line off the scoresheet every game, and they weren’t even all together the whole game. Duluth’s backs will be against the wall, and the way they complained about missed calls, including the game winner in overtime against Denver which apparently Carle agreed with, I have no doubt we will need to kill more than our fair share of penalties. We have had our problems with very good power play units, so hopefully we know we increase our chances a lot by limiting dumb penalties. Duluth plays great defense, so even with Gajan being gone, goals will be at a premium. Hopefully, getting to 3 goals will be enough with Jan, but Duluth knows this weekend could determine how the rest of their season goes, and I have no doubt Sandelin will have them ready.

Was hoping that ASU would still see opportunity to move up, and want them to be engaged from here on out in the regular season since they still play Western and Denver.

Assuming he will be.

If Duluth doesn’t win tonight, home ice is certainly a question for them, especially if we can beat them next weekend. Miami has played two fewer games and will be within shouting distance, especially when Duluth still has to play at Miami, and I would assume without Gajan.

Which equates to more revenue for the program. Yes, National Championships is where it is at, but winning league titles helps with recruiting if you don’t win it all.

Yes, ideally it would be nice to win the league title before that last weekend at Western.

Please, at least get it to overtime Omaha!

All credit to Western as they are finding ways to win games, which is the sign of a good team. That said, I think some of our fans would be questioning how good we were giving up an average of 36 shots in their wins over Denver and Duluth. Duluth really missed an opportunity by giving up a late goal, then not capitalizing on a 4 on 3 power play in overtime. We just need to take care of ourselves and get back to the kind of defense where we only gave up 35 shots to Denver the entire weekend.

But many of the experts were dumbfounded that he didn’t go any of the spots above #4.

You would still have holier than thou programs like Minnesota and Wisconsin refuse to play them though.
