http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2014/12/18_saturday_nights_alright.php “We changed the way we started off our preseason,” top-scorer Drake Caggiula revealed last month. “My first two years here, we did a lot of hard conditioning, and guys were getting tired heading into the season. So we made some adjustments off the ice in terms of that. I think that’s given us more of an opportunity to perform well on weekends.” North Dakota’s goal-differential is at its best in the third period, and UND is 8-0-0 when leading after one, 11-0-1 when leading after two.

I don't think Canada has won it for 6 years or so. This is he Super Bowl north of the border unless the Olympics are going. @TPS_Guy: Canada is 4 for 10 as hosts (winning gold). @DuckMillard @TSN1260 @TPS_Guy: The other hosts to win were the Soviets in 1983 and Finland in 1998. Canada won at home in '91, '95, '06 and '09.@DuckMillard @TSN1260 Funny tweet referring to gf when they hosted ha @TPS_Guy: . @jtmcwoo @DuckMillard @TSN1260 Good call, it was pretty much Grand Forks, SM. (South Manitoba)

http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2014/12/18/7415219/2015-world-junior-early-notes Hanifin (BC) suppose to be 3rd pick after mcdavid and Eichel. Anyone know of the others goalies besides demko on USA? Will all 5 BC guys make the team?

Just listened to that MJ podcast. One guy had 3 sources Eichel could bail. One reason given was possibly to play a pro schedule 2nd half since his 2nd pick status is a lock barring injury. Then they start drooling over a mcdavid vs Eichel match up

Kid will be 2nd pick no matter what. What would be the reasoning if so unless he's a complete moron in classroom and highly doubt that @SNetJunior: Lot's of talk/speculation about Jack Eichel leaving BU for Saint John of the Q after the WJC on the 'Junior' podcast today. Will be up soon. Demkos rights traded as well but it's been stated he will stay at BC for now

Wonder when he decides. This is a big one. He schmaltz and Gersich could be pretty unreal as well as cags. Hope the az connection and the Toews admiration helps a little @mikemorrealeNHL: Possible No. 1 pick in the 2016 NHL Draft Auston Matthews narrows college choice to five schools: BC, BU, Michigan, Denver and UND.

Interesting to read @THNRyanKennedy: Jakub Zboril, Filip Chlapik & Pavel Jenys cut by Czech WJC team. Coach said CHLers were at disadvantage, but was their choice to play here USA goalie news http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=744496

I'm sure oisecki has a nice vibe with nick schmaltz. Didn't Jordan decommitt after he left sconnie? Oisecki is a good follow @Osiecki24 @mikemorrealeNHL: Jim Johannson said first rd of cuts will be after the U.S. Jr Team match vs BU on Friday. How many plyrs are released is TBD...
