Wow, coming from St. Cloud I we get him tested...

Any team is better with players who have a deep desire to play for a program. Losing Miller and Matteau hurts, but what is somewhat underrated is the effect of a player like LaDue or Kristo who are lifelong fans and wish to be a part of the program. These hurt, but we will continue to be a perennial contender. I would mention that last years senior class was not particularly hearlded but they did OK.

I would just suggest 1 thing to the sky is falling crowd. Potentially the best 2 players in their first full year of college hockey in 2012-2013 are Jordan Schmaltz and Rocco Grimaldi...

props. Good post. +1. Ahhhhh, now my fingers are burning....

Well Goldy is a good first half team...

2 games this season with 4 goals on 4 SOG... 14 goals 6 assists in 8 games...

New recruit Amy Menke: I have 1 serious concern about her after reading this... http://www.startribune.com/templates/Print_This_Story?sid=109079574

That's you?

Blood was on the ice for half the game and those clears at the end were a little bit of a fluke getting deflected. I have no idea how many times his positioning and skating kept CC of their breakouts.

As brutal as we have been (and in fairness we lost a few games outplaying the competition); if we take care of business against AA we will be 500 in the WCHA and above 500 on the season. sweep the EZAC and we are right back in auto bid territory...

Mattson, Simpson, and Blood were great this weekend. Mario, well... not only was his play ineffective, but took 3 penalties at bad times. I'd have to see the face off stats, but looked like he was so so there as well.

So I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that players don't often have 3 consecutive Hat Tricks against the Sioux.

Just for the record I disapprove of anyone playing at Minnesota... With regards to the conspiracy theory de jour, UND's program is far too advanced to fall for that stupid crap. I suspect that it has more to do with the fact that Paul has been outstanding as a USHL Rookie. By coincidence I ran into Paul's family today. I suggested that they not read threads like this for the next 10 years or so.

Tanja Eisenschmid, I had not heard this name. Nice surprise.

You know how our stats would look much better, start the year playing 6 of 8 Sacred Heart, Alaska Anchorage, and Vermont... And win 2 while being severely outplayed in Duluth...

Don't know if anyone posted this, but at one point Jared Rutledge was said to be considering UND. He went to the ugly helmets. I could see how it might be hard to get a second keeper with Zane coming in.

Grimaldi Kristo

The whole St. Clair thing stinks of mismanagement at UND or the NCAA, honestly probably UND. This is a kid that had years in juniors. The NCAA or UND had plenty of time to make sure that his academics were in order. It is not as if he was a 17 year old being rushed to graduate a year early. There were years check and recheck. I doubt he is a dumb kid as he was initially going to CC.

Macmillin Knight

Wonder if they could teach their brother to finish...

Final 11-1 Sioux improve to 4-3 1-2 in the WCHA

Wow, laying the wood to undefeated OSU 11-1 in the 2nd Period.

Knight, Nelson

I suspect that it depends on the team that drafts him. I hope he doesn't go to the rangers... Lets hope the Devils, Oilers. or Jets draft him...

Based on my knowledge of European women's junior hockey, I know nothing...
