their goalie lost his stick, and it ended up on a tee for Pinto

Not the only criteria (obviously), just a glaring red mark on their application.

They need an NCAA tournament win first. Even St Cloud has one of those.

If you spend an entire season at the NHL level that's a good threshold. Another would be signing a one way contract (which I believe Jordan did at one point). The original question was what made the OP say Tychonick looked NHL caliber.

yes. corrected

What have you seen out of Tychonick suggesting he is NHL-bound? He has skill and draft status, but so did Jordan Schmaltz.

"....a pair of jeans that fits just right...."

Schmaltz with a 3 point game, and Stetcher with a goal.

Both T. Poolman and Wolanin played forward to get them ice when we had stacked defense. Maybe put one of the D up this year. It's good to have too many players, injuries will happen.

I wish this iteration of the Badgers was on our OOC schedule.

Watch him switch to juniors around Christmas.

CC really dove head-first into the beer league aesthetics for their jersey.

Remember that series maybe a decade ago where we throttled RMU and they weren't interested in scheduling with us anymore? One of the games was an 8-0 pounding. Let's check another Atlantic team off the list. Never want to see Canisius again.

Here's a good primer on UST: http://www.citypages.com/news/excommunicated-st-thomas-proved-too-good-at-sports-and-building-a-college/561900561 I never understood why people paid so much to attend there rather than, say, Pepperdine or another private institution, but it sounds like they are generous with financial aid.

A few years ago a prep school kid from Brooklyn would not strike me as a possibility, but after Pinto and Moore it wouldn't be a shock these days. Is Ty Smilanic expected to go the MJ route? Denver yanked his scholarship a while ago, could have been similar to what happened with Rowe. Figured he'd have a new commitment by now. Haviland has undoubtedly offered considering Ty is from the front range.

Herald website is now paywalled but not particularly sophisticated; you can read all the articles you want if you are using Firefox (and maybe others, only tried with FF) on a desktop. Put it in Reader view (F9) before the paywall block comes up and you can read any article you want. This trick works on some, but not all news sites. The Athletic, STrib, and more don't allow this work around.

That Duluth game will be his legacy.

Mercyhurst scores two late goals to win in Arizona. Ouch. They don't have replay but I'd like to see the winner again, came off a guy getting out of the box with less than a minute to go.

They need a rink on/near campus. Their home sheet only seats 1k. Not sure what Mac/Ham/etc. do for hockey but a shared rink could work. What is the Wild practice rink's capacity? Could be a placeholder.

Gardner called up to Dallas. Wow

Did you just say Penn State and ASU are non-football schools.......?

My original post about it was quoting a tweet from a CHN writer. Do they even have a current club team?

as a GF native, it's a safe bet he doesn't need a scholarship; it's undoubtedly yanked if it was ever offered. He just needs to prove he can hang at D1 and isn't a waste of a roster spot. Play with heart in front of your friends and family at the Ralph, not a bad way to spend a few years!

Scoring is really the only issue the last two years. In that role we had defects like Gropp and Gerlach, and players not pan out, like Wilkie, the Scandinavians, and (so far) Adams. Yon was clearly not going to be a scorer after Juniors, but that's what he was recruited to do. Hopefully our desperation for scoring doesn't force Pinto to step into a role he's not ready for. Weatherby and Hain can and should make big steps. Mismash needs to be consistent. Our D and goaltending will be solid.

What's funny is he usually starts with an objective observation, and then his train of thought derails once his hatred of Sioux hockey takes over. Meth....not even once.
