If you aren’t playing Zellers late because you want to lock it down, then why play Mooney, and why not put Emery out there?

Zellers probably has had more opportunities per shift than any one else in the tournament. Motzko is a joke.

Zellers doesn’t see the ice in crunch time but Mooney.

I really do like that Steiner. I assume that is the one that UND is interested in?

How much would Arizona State move up if they sweep?

Faber wasn’t on the gophers 1st power play unit, so yeah Bob isn’t always great at roster management. In fact I wonder if it was someone else’s decision to include Zellers on the roster.

Like I said earlier this year, goal scorers score from being unafraid to shoot from anywhere like Bochenski and Duncan.

Some of those Penn State guys are very cocky. Sometimes I get the same impression of their coach.

Looked like Parekh got away with a hand pass to himself on that play. You could hear people questioning it when he did it.

Well, he did embarrass Bob by scoring his only two college goals against the gophers.

You know they aren’t hockey people when they call it a stadium rather than an arena.

There is a World Junior thread.

Makes you wonder if Jacob Kvasnicka just stays in Minneapolis after the World Juniors. That wouldn’t exactly ingratiate Minnesota with Penticton taking a player halfway through the season, especially when Minnesota needs to be building more ties in Canada rather than the opposite. Will be interesting to see what teams do that want to fill spots for the second half.

I think we already know. They recently split with Bemidji State, and did split with Duluth early in the year. From what I’ve seen, they have been getting outshot quite a bit, but they have a very good goaltender.

Watched Williams last night and to me it looks like he needs a lot more time in the weight room to be ready for college. Have to watch more before any real conclusions can be drawn, but didn’t see a lot of dog on bone, but a lot of coasting. Can’t judge him on one performance though, and you could definitely see the skill. I see that Chyzyk is out not only recruiting, but determining who is ready to come in, so I’m sure they will make the right judgements and let people know what the expectations are for improvement in order for them to make the jump. Looking forward to see future games to track his progress.
