Oh, but having tourneys in their back yard wasn't any advantage to them.

What do you expect from someone who calls himself Drunk hockey guy like a badge of courage. Isn't he the one that had to cry mea culpa for something completely over the top.

I think they were engaged, so I wouldn't call it a sucker punch. Yes, it was unexpected, but in college, ain't nobody going to drop their gloves, so that is how punches are thrown.

There' plenty of room when you have potential to have guys wait a year, perhaps even two. Nobody usually gets a full ride, and some don't get much at all, so it's a matter of how many guys you think make for an effective roster.

Plenty of time to go on a run, but it definitely hurts with the Big Ten OOC record. The games Minnesota plays in the Challenge Cup are going to be critical for them.

The announcers just said Minnesota didn't stay out for the handshake. Do they do that every game? If so, what about the sanctity of the handshake?

That's why I never get too concerned when the gophers always supposedly have the best recruiting class, because the Sioux always seem to be right there with a mix of talent and competitiveness.

With Chris Wilkie's hat trick last night, he became the leading goal scorer in the USHL. Hopefully Janatuinen can be a good set-up guy in college and can feed either him or Boeser. I know Boeser is still more likely Minnesota bound, but it ain't over until it's over. I like the things I read on how competitive Janatuinen and Keane are.

Yeah, if they could incorporate the fierce look of this horse with the other proposed logo, it wouldn't look half bad. I guess if you can't go with the Sioux that took down the Bison with regularity, you might as well go with the tool that helped them take down the Bison.

I have two seats for Friday in 302A above entryway on aisle. Only 6 seats in the row. End the Sioux shoot twice. $60 for the pair.

With the Rattlesnakes in Western North Dakota, maybe "Sidewinders" would fit a North Dakota theme. Of course, since some say Sioux translates to "Snake in the Grass", someone would take offense.

I assume he's the son of former NHL and Manitoba Moose player Mike Keane?

Yes, in most cases, but there are plenty that figure it out in college. Jonny Brodzinski had 10 goals 12 assists in his best season in Fargo in 58 games. I would take him on the Sioux in a heartbeat. You can look at most college teams' committed recruits and find poor numbers, and there may be different reasons for that because of playing time, roles etc. Give me a player like Colton St. Clair over a guy like James Massen any day.

Jerk store. Missed on that one Costanza.

... and of course any prospective recruits on the U.S. Developmental team get to witness the worst of North Dakota winter! Wind chills in the 30-40 below range.

Anyone catch William Laggeson at the World Juniors for Sweden? I know this thread showed that TSN said UND is a possible landing spot for him, but with the verbal from Gabe Bast, is there still room? Does a 4th round draft pick wait an extra year?

Doesn't bother me. I had issues with the night game at the Final Five, but this is their tournament and deserve to call the shots on when they think most fans will show up.

...and Kyle Rau with a shot to the head ... No penalty!

... and cue the back to back power plays seconds after they take that lead.

Talking about a committed recruit and doing a comparison on him. Sounds on topic to me.

Sounds like he is starved for attention... Sounds like someone on this board!

We've had 4 goalies before, but I don't think it is ideal.

I'm hoping Zane does.

http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2014/9/25/6843943/getting-to-know-matej-tomek This article suggests he could go early as far as goalies go, but we've seen guys highly regarded that don't always perform in college.

Even when resulting in a goal?
