This year we clearly live and die by Sanderson. Our D was anemic without him. Driscoll has been better than his stats suggest but he has yet to steal a game.

Stupid play but typical Duluth dive. Crumbles at the knee when hit in the face.

Good to see some of the new jerseys in the student section

Cade Littler is at a ppg as a 17 year old in the BCHL. He and Landon Parker are the leading scorers on Wenatchee. With a dad from Minot we have to be high on his list.

Huge if true.

The knockoffs wouldn't be as prevalent if they had gone with the new jerseys from day 1. The jerseys they've had since March 2012 (!) look terrible without numbers, and are still boring with numbers. Can't believe it took this long to get the wheels turning on their replacement.

https://hockeysense.substack.com/p/hockey-sense-roundup-international Peters unlocked this article, says Spicer's stock shot up recently. Good to hear.

I like it better than the Nashville, but more than anything both are better than existing. Took way too long to replace the stop gap.

Fair enough, that's a pretty thorough scouting report.

Stramel signed. The two potential MJ defects must be far along in the decision to skip the NLI. Brzustewicz isn't going to be drafted, generally not a good sign coming from NTDP but there are a few every year.

Any names of interest? EDIT: did the research. Michigan: Hunter Brzustewicz (awesome Polish name!), Frank Nazar, Gavin Brindley Notre Dame: Logan Cooley Minnesota: Cruz Lucius BC: Ryan Leonard BU: Michael Chambre Leonard and Chambre are 05's called up from U17 and I don't think Brindley is a full time NTDP member so he might not announce it with them. Nazar and Cooley are likely first round picks, Lucius is also a blue chipper. Polish dude is a bust.

I said he didn't look ready for the NHL during the first game against Quinnipiac, was upvoted a lot and saw the rhetoric escalate from there. He was making mistakes then that he hasn't since though, and considering he plays half the game and has the puck on his stick so much, mistakes will happen.

Miami knew the only way for them to steal a game this weekend was on the PP, and executed well on that front. Likely focused on that all week at practice.

Smith and JBD are both likely to be added

It's a whole new world with the one time transfer rule though. Sounded like he has a good head on his shoulders and parents with values aligning with our program, but he needs to be in the lineup if we want him for the long haul.

Well, the former is pretty reliable. Haha

Ethan Bowen shows as not committed on EP. Can someone check heisenberg's (sp) list?

I think it was a little more nuanced; we had space for both before diving into the portal. There were red flags about his character (and his dad's, which is indicative of the times) prior to that, though. He, Moore and Rowe all kinda seemed out of place coming from old money/upper class suburbs. Not our type of recruit. Moore hasn't seemed like a brat, to his credit, and was vetted by Berry through a personal connection of some sort, his dad may have played with Berry?

Sounds like Rowe would not have worked out here. https://madison.com/wsj/sports/college/hockey/why-goalie-cameron-rowe-wasnt-on-the-badgers-mens-hockey-bench-in-the-3rd-period/article_9fedb4ca-7b86-525a-919d-4787562af603.html

Would we have heard by now if Kleven was going to be suspended?

Friday could have gone either way, tonight they were definitely the better team. Do Savoie/Kleven have auto suspensions for ejections with so little time left?

Someone cut the CC announcer's tongue out. Talking about an upset with 10 to go only up by one.
