Found our guy:
“At the end of the day, it's a big win for this group of 20 players and our staff,” said Green Wave head coach Tyler Palmiscno. “Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for East Side.”
At the Winterhawks game; Zak___ski is good. Scored on a breakaway that he generated, plays net front on PP1 and and caused a turnover where he took a shot on the PK. Motor is noticable.
The team is playing better, and a split should not be considered a surprisingly good result this weekend. Get Omaha at home in the first round, win 2 out of 3 after getting hot goalied one night, win a regional-caliber conference tournament at X, and go from there.
Sure enough. Sioux hockey is about blue collar over-age Canadians, not east coast divas who transfer out.
I live in Portland and skate with some guys affiliated with the team, will ask for a scouting report and share here.
Connor and USA Hockey have a tenuous relationship. No NTDP or WJC. One WC appearance and none since starting his pro career despite Winnipeg often hitting the links early.
Brock goes to the WC a lot and has lit it up a few times. Loves putting on the USA sweater and USA Hockey knows it.
D-Boss said something along the lines of people who want to play in 4 Nations and the Olympics should play in the WC if their team is eliminated.
Western, Miami, Clown, 1 game each
Duluth, Denver, CC, Omaha, ASU 2 games each
UND 3
Ten years of data went into that selection.
Wouldn't be surprised if they pick up the UND-UST game at the X.
