The Sicatoka

Thinking out loud on the defense ... Pyke + 5 freshmen so need two. Pyke only has one season of play left. It'd be nice to get someone (or two) with two seasons left. But is that realistic? Take the expected five and there's three in the pipeline: Jubenvill, Ausmus, Mcinnis. At what point do they look at Jubenville this fall and just grab another "one year guy". That would leave slots for two (Ausmus, McInnis) in a year. That would really be out of balance (six sophs, two freshmen) a year from now, but couple of those "soph" guys will end up two or three year guys and you use those future early departures for rebalancing. The next name at defense will be a tell as to the long-range plan.

FOUR-fer!

Judd is not officially gone. Berg checks nearly every box. Center, good at draws, fills the spot in classes that Costantini vacated.

Their new “arena” opened today.

Last week in the good, the bad, and the ugly format. The good: Pyke, Persson The bad: Still having need of two D and more The ugly: There are still unknowns like what will 28 do now that his rights are traded or what does 13 plan to do.

Meh … details.

Tell me if you’ve heard this one… https://www.weather.gov/media/fgf/DssPacket.pdf I wish this was an April fools joke. It’s not. Happy January 91st!

Truth. I can’t believe the category I show up in in the most recent alumni report. Hockey tickets (champions club) and giving hearts day adds up over time I guess. I won’t get to see my final standing, at least with these eyes. (If you don’t get it, think: will.)

That phase has already … passed.

The f version is the f version.

< yelling from sidewalk > Oh yeah, as soon as we have players, a roster, and jersey assignments, and we can memorize all of it, we're going right back to saying things like " ... rather kept 20 than 13." So there. Nanner-nanner-foo-foo! < taps toe of shoe on lawn > < walks away >

I'd vote LouieJam.

Yup. https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/696047 But scroll through CapFriendly; there are "$0 rights trades" that happen all the time with no signings. Caulfield's not gone until a signing announcement.

Ryker? Does his coach tell him ...

History says a new home is 50/50 for a portal entrant. Can we use the Schlossman lucky quarter and flip for each to predict?

My only knock on Pyke? LH D. We are 5:1 lefty at this point.

Ginger or MaryAnn. (MaryAnn) @burd’s answer? Mrs Howell.

KG is Rocky the Flying Squirrel?

If 27 wears the C he must accept the role Peter Armbrust accepted when he wore the C. Peter let the whiz-bangs whiz-bang and skated a bottom six center role. (Peter had Brad DeFauw with him on a wing and DeFauw reminds me a lot of ... 28).

No worries. I already assumed you'd be "Paul Coffey" to my "Charlie Huddy". But I ain't singing. All you get is a "Go!"

Would that hurt someone's mom's feelings? PS - My opinion of "hurt feelings" is as follows:
