Apparently it isn’t being watched!

That puts a different spin on it, and it would seem he was looking for an incident. Have to see how the actual facts come out, but waiting outside for confrontation puts a different light on things for me.

This is a good teaching opportunity for coaches across the country. We’ve seen the rhetoric on message boards about certain players, and especially elite players. The consequences for them is very high, so hopefully coaches will let their players know that they will be verbal targets. We saw back in the day what happened at bars and parties between members of teams from different sports, so stuff like this shouldn’t be so shocking. I’m kind of caught between on this, as I don’t want to condone McKenna’s actions, but I also don’t think people have a license to harass and try and push athletes over the edge, possibly for a payout. How would I feel if it was a UND player in this circumstance? Most likely I would be mad at the player for going over the line during a possible championship run, but I also would understand that they are young and that there are idiots out there trying to push them over the edge.

Would like to see him and Croal together again and another option on the penalty kill. Don’t need extra wear and tear on Swanson with his dual play on the power play. More chance of Swanson to get outmuscled as well. If we can get Zakreski up to speed, could definitely use another dog on bone penalty killer, and player in general.

He is already 20 years old, will he stay around that long if he already has his degree. I would imagine he could have a career playing overseas he might want to start.

Someone on GPL said it would be something they would expect of Keaton Verhoeff. Just shows the ignorance over there. Of course we know in the state of Minnesota any behavior like this wouldn’t be a crime anyway.

What ever became of the charges against Boisvert?

Just put the jinx on that?

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.
