The Rangers have gotten a bit smarter. They know their prospects development in both New York and Hartford has not been great for a long time now. Their best players have developed elsewhere and/or spent longer periods of time in the NCAA. The Rangers Director of Amateur Scouting said when they drafted him that they weren't going to rush Emery and were prepared to keep him in Grand Forks for at least 2, but potentially 3 years. Emery needs a 3rd year, or otherwise he's riding buses to Utica, Syracuse, Springfield, etc.

Spunar watched the Chiclets video, nice!

Wasn't ready for the NCAA. Until you really produce in junior or have a super adaptable/Swiss Army knife style, you're not ready for the NCAA (at least 90% of the time).

Dumpster fire who is still able to recruit pretty well somehow

They are giving anyone who made below the $ threshold that the NCAA has set. Most believe that is $75-80k. So basically every ECHLer and many AHLers coming out of the CHL have been given NCAA eligiblity if they've applied

Good dub

Kernan what a snipe!

Can someone explain to me why we're playing Mercyhurst instead of Boston College, Boston University, Michigam, Michigan State, or Wisconsin?

F***ing finally!!!

Canada kicking ass, 7-0 over Slovakia in the 2nd

Reschny sounds like a small town Canadian 28 year old NHLer in the 90s. Mature beyond his years

Putting Adam Kleber out there in overtime is beyond braindead. I get wanting to have a defensive presence, but the kid handled the puck like a grenade all night and doesn't provide any offensive threat at all. Horrific coaching to some degree at least

Most Motzko critics/skeptics have alluded to the possibility that him getting the World Junior coach nod was a retirement going away gift from USA Hockey since the tournament was being hosted in Minneapolis/St Paul. Don't think he'll be coaching the Gophers much longer either

Get the dubs, simple

Finland is much better than the States right now, especially in net & with Plante out.

Rhett Sather (2008, Cochrane, Alberta, Spokane Chiefs) commits to Nebraska Omaha

The NCAA set the precedent when they started allowing European (semi) Pro basketball players to play NCAA Basketball. All of this in hockey and other sports as a result doesn't surprise me

Mats Lindgren (2004) officially on the Colorado College roster after a year in the Coast and a cup of coffee in the A.

Filip Ruzicka (2008) has a .913 SV% for the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Dub. He's 6'7. Definitely someone to keep an eye on, would imagine most programs are all over him.

Just as I say that, he puts one in lmao

Martone has been borderline dominant at State but underwhelming in the World Junior. So weird

Canada doesn't have the same eye of the tiger they had in years past to absolutely pummel inferior squads. The 2021 team (who choked in the Final) mauled bad teams in the bubble
