Props to Jax for making the move on Verhoeff, still can make an impact but won’t be on the toughest matchups. Can’t lie though that pairing with Strathman makes me nervous
I think the most important thing is to get pucks on net with either a tip or a screen, we can't try to make this a highlight reel game. Can't be floating wristers unimpeded from the blue line and letting this goalie settle in and get comfortable. I was watching replays of the goals in the 2016 regional... as good as that team was almost all the goals and a tip and/or a screen.
Makes a guy wonder why they'd ever be chosen(again) as a host for an NCAA tournament if they can't maintain acceptable ice conditions. Warm temperatures at the end of March isn't that rare in Sioux Falls
Is that any different from what bigger schools could do as well? Couldn't you also argue the athlete themselves could subsidize their own insurance policy(and then some) on future earnings with the extra $100-200k extra they're getting from another school. I honestly think we're not going to be in the running for guys that are only looking for the highest bidder... I also don't think that's a bad thing
