On cue, Chris Peters and Cam Robinson discuss Verhoeff and McKenna on their podcast episode which dropped today (at about the 27:40 mark).

I want to hear the phrase "relentless forecheck" constantly.

My heart says over, my head says under. Someone needs to keep a “Dylan James Shorthanded Breakaway Tracker.”™️

Strinden?

Here are the defensemen sorted by handedness, listed oldest to youngest: RHD: Zmolek ('02), Emery ('06), Verhoeff ('08) LHD: Jubenvill ('03), Wiebe ('03), Livanavage ('04), Strathmann ('05), Laurila ('06) Lots of question marks around the RHD: Can Zmolek stay healthy? Can Emery contribute offensively? How will Verhoeff handle college hockey at just 17 years old?

There it is.

I’m loving these first-hand scouting reports.

Especially this year's Western Michigan team. Their players are connected and seem 1000% engaged. Fun hockey to watch.

Please enjoy the get together!!!

Thank you!!

Wilkie

Re-recruiting Sacha is job 1, 2, 3, etc. for the offseason.

Silver lining: EGF and Moorhead bringing state titles to the Valley.

Strathmann probably saved a goal.

Perron

Lots of good performances last night—TJ, Sacha, James, Livanavage, Strinden, Wilkie(!)—but the guy who stood out the most was Croal. He’s first in on the forecheck. He’s always moving with a purpose. He finishes his checks. Seems like a pest to the opposition. Kind of a throwback.

Strinden

Our prevent defense needed to be preventi-er.

Sacha

James

Yes, so many penalties. I think that was the first or second game I ever saw at the Herb. It seemed like there was a penalty or goal on nearly every shift.

Tonight's game reminds me of this game which featured six second-period goals for the good guys.
