Even if 28 staying helps keep 15? 15 staying is key for the defense.

This is part of the change to a speed game that has happened at DU and WMU. The closest thing we've had to a scoring third line was a 2016 "heavy" line that happened to be quick (not fast) and have a little scoring touch.

And 5 of the 6 are from MA, NY, or NJ. (The other is IL.)

Carson Albrecht turns 25 in May. I do wonder if he's going to stay.

Probably not, but they all seem to have to receive a puck, dust it a couple times, then look up and decide where to go with it. Teams like DU and WMU are making three touch passes in the same time because they know where they are going with the puck before it ever gets to them.

If I'm cold I can add a layer (or even light my back hair on fire) to stay warm. There are only so many layers one can take off to cool off. And there are fewer adventurous creatures looking to kill you around here, no scorpions or rattlesnakes. I would've said coyotes also, but that's a toss-up lately.

We're running 16F right now. Two run out of eligibility (10, 19). Two more are seniors but have a Covid year available to them (13, 28). And then there are the wonders: - does 17 sign - does 5 portal out - do any others look at the portal? I'd say Emerson and Perron are the obvious two to bring in, and then it becomes what else is needed to stay at 15F. (I don't see another year at 16F.)

Based on DOB the oldest five are: Komzak, Benoit, Jubenvill, Wiebe, Livanavage (then Ausmus, Strathmann, and McInnis). It won't be Ausmus or McInnis coming in and Elite Prospects projects Jubenvill as a fall 2024. It's like they're set for five ... and ready for the unthinkable (needing six, meaning bring Jubenvill in 2023).

I see the incoming class looking like 5D, 3F, and 2G and the fall roster as 15F/8D/3 (or 4*) G. *That would be up to Hellsten.

I see Cheese here. He bought into that role from the start. I'd tell 32 it's his choice but two are coming in either way (be they portal or recruit). That's why I say 3 or 4 G roster in the fall (based on 32's decision).

I see more of his brothers and parents than E lately.

There are Bison fans (one haunts here time to time) advocating they return to a 3-4. With the right personnel it is a good scheme to create pressure from; however, that personnel must include a NG that can eat a G and C.

I knew it was going to be a long weekend 13 seconds into Friday's game. In those 13 seconds I saw: - an interference committed against UND13 - a contact to the head committed against UND13 - a hold by UND10 Only the last was called. I knew.

Austin Flyger?

I could see an incoming group of 5D/3F/2G and ending up with a 15F/8D/3G or 4G roster.

1. I predict there are at least two new faces at G next year no matter what 32 does. (If ever was a year to carry 4G it's next year: Cheese, 32, portal, portal/recruit.) 2. " ... a multitude of reasons ... " ... I ... C (pronounced: I see).

As much as goaltender is a concern, the defense is just as much. 2, 3, and 7 are out of eligibility. 25 will surely sign. The 6 situation is curious at best; he'll leave. That leaves 4 and 24, ... and 15 has a Covid year to use. We need 15 back badly.

He's engaged, not yet married. (I could prove it but I got in trouble providing a link last time.) And we've had married players before (e.g. Malcolm Parks); so what.

< ding > Winner.

Even if PHI24 had not touched the KC WR I'm not sure he'd have gotten to that ball.

Rihanna have her hair done in Whoville by Cindy Loo Whoo? EDIT: Here's a photo ... did she kill the Grinch and have him made into a jacket?

I don’t want guys who “deserve” time. I want guys who’ve earned it.

Selfish play is not part of the culture and need not be rewarded.

I’d sit 10 this weekend. He was over the line and made a selfish play that cost the team. Ramifications.

Well a Chinese “weather” balloon sure didn’t.
