I would also add that baseball isn’t a good example because they use different rules between the leagues with a designated hitter, and that isn’t to determine an outcome. It also puts one team in the World Series at a disadvantage because they don’t normally deal with it.

...and that's what he is saying, that ever since he got scolded for that, he is very careful not to say anything critical.

We finally agree on something. He tries way too hard to come up with Dick Vitale like phrases or sayings and goes way overboard on the fake enthusiasm. Can't listen to Hennessey in the morning much anymore because of Ralston's constant diatribes. I certainly miss Swyg.

Might just be Instacart for Hornbachers. You would think there would have been some rumblings if Costco was coming soon.

Anyone hear buzz on Costco coming to Grand Forks? On Costco.com if you put zip code 58201 in on Insta Cart for 1-hour grocery delivery it says coming to 58201 soon. Is that just delivery, or Costco itself? Would think the old Macy’s would be perfect for Costco because they would have room for gas station in parking lot.

http://bchl.ca/stats/roster/12 He isn’t listed on Penticton’s roster yet, so that would be a good bet.

Classy!

Seriously, what is St. Louis trying to do, clear cap space? Even then, why do you add any draft picks?

Sounds like a law firm.

Props to BU for getting it done when they had to, but we were closer to making it by our record than they would have been had they not gone on a run. But I see now that your narrative has changed from Nattys. Nice to know you can be so flexible with that.

Might be risky with radio rights switching from time to time, but Hennessey switched stations a few times but still was left out in the cold when Dan Terhaar was at KNOX. Would guess Midco will be a part of the picture for a while.

... and a goalie that isn't afraid of his own shadow!

Personally, I tend to like Alex Heinert's call more than Looker's.

Maybe not so much part of the GOBC, but maybe more in the vain of Captain Obvious or you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

Exactly. If you were thinking high end players coming out of high school or even juniors, Colton and Tucker Poolman wouldn't have been high on many teams' lists, but they have intangibles that make them guys you need on your team. Ditto with guys like Connor Gaarder and Steph Pattyn.

He decommitted from Wisconsin, but someone on this site said it was only a matter of time before he and Randklev committed here. Don’t know if they had some inside info or not, but he did get injured and missed the rest of the year. Don’t know the extent of the injury.

I will be watching guys like Tyler Weiss, who was drafted higher than Hain. Another guy that interested me was Grant Cruikshank who is going to CC. The reason Senden is coming in is because another role player isn’t coming. With the inequities we had last year I wouldn’t have minded if we would have made a late move for guys who might have a higher offensive upside, even if it meant stepping on a few toes.

We definitely had trouble scoring at times last year, but so did Duluth down the stretch, and like us their leading scorer was a defenseman, a freshman one at that. They also had a first rounder that was a sophomore. I guarantee that if we had a sophomore first rounder last year (Jost), we score a lot more and we don’t have a defenseman lead our team in scoring.

This draft is a perfect example why blue chip being defined as first round as flawed. Every team had different players rated higher from 12 or so through 50, so each saw players between those numbers as blue chip. There were fans that lamented us not getting Bode Wilde, yet not only did JBD go higher, Wilde isn’t going to Michigan anyway. The fact that a standing All American player like Perunovich wouldn’t be considered blue chip further illustrates that point.

Isn’t Fabbro playing his third year?

DAR was.

So we're giving out all this scholarship money for our fans only being able to see 5 home games? Hardly seems worthwhile if you look at it like that. Hockey plays 4-5 times more games so the money should be distributed that way.

Did you used to play football for UND and always lost out on women to hockey players, or what is your issue?

Good point, I suppose the big club’s interest level on signing them would drive the timeline more than ego.

They certainly would be able to grow together, but then if one leaves early, does the other too?
