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.

In Duluth where they most likely get the benefit of some calls and they score one out of every three power plays. Just winning will be nice.

Both Miami and UND with tons of new players. Would be interesting to see who would win the award if we win the league and Miami finished 6th or 7th.

At least get it to OT and take away points from both teams.

Man, whoever gets him is going to be super lucky. He is so dynamic with elite skating and hockey sense. Would probably need to work on situational awareness because he is super aggressive on pinching, but I suppose at that level his elite skating wins out more often than not. Would rather have a confident aggressive player that can be reigned back than vice versa.

His uncle apparently is Wyatt Smith who played for the gophers as well.

This has been a very odd year for us so far, knock on wood. Usually you have some wear and tear injuries on defense. Emery missing the start of the season has been the extent of it. We brought in Engels because you usually have someone on defense nursing some injury. The defense even with 7, probably see as much time as the forwards. True, it might not be for everyone, and really we have no clue what the plan is for next year, and what the talk is behind the scenes.
