Adams looks like a really nice player.

A lot of players there the gophers didn't want.

He was a goal tender in Dostoevsky's The Idiot?

Lumberdome with DU in January. 20 below. Only a couple hundred would be able to watch it, but if you're one of them . . .

What a stud.

My man Gornall will come in like a prairie thunderstorm and pour forth points upon the land.

We need to keep the elite players coming in, but I'm OK with having a couple of years of guys staying more than two years. I know these guys are all good enough to want to play hockey for a living at some level, but I'd kind of like to see how it would go with more players staying with the team/university culture a little longer. That said, I also know we wouldn't have won #8 without some high draft picks on the team.

From what I've read about Granato, he has integrity. It's hard to know what he is representing to these recruits.

If you mean it will be hard to keep all three there, you are probably right.

I have a feeling this group of coaches at UW will be recruiting successfully for a long time.

Even if that parent paid out of state tuition, he or she needs to take a look at what it costs to send kids to other colleges and Universities.

Gornall for Hobey

You have the right username, at least.

He's coming if rumspringa works out for him.

I"m not sure what you mean by the "vibe," but it sounds a little silly to me. But I'm a long way from the atmosphere there.

Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest I thought you were wrong. I agree that the competition is good for the team, and maybe he doesn't have enough competitive edge. Either way, I hope he gets his shot somewhere.

By all accounts, he has done just that up to this point. If he stays here, history says he won't see many pucks this year. Some would say staying is an indication that he is content warming the bench and argue he should have gone where he is being game-time tested on a regular basis. While I would also like to see him stay, I wouldn't blame him for taking an opportunity to play. He has proven his patience and loyalty in my mind.

Here maybe, but not GPL, where it would have to be a small offense.

He played with two greats, but nobody could flip a card into the hat from his office chair like Duncan.

I really don't think we have a chance next year. Our D is the gift that keeps on giving; we can't play 60 minutes to save our souls; what 1st rounders we have don't show up when it counts; the PP scores fewer goals than the PK; MICHIGAN STATE??; and Katie never gets that friggin hair dangle out of her face. I'll probably still watch the games, but don't expect me to get too excited about it. Staying away from Netflix this summer so I have a big supply built up.

Michigan has to be an easy place to recruit to if you have the hockey program in shape. And a lot of supply, with the development program right there and all of Michigan and much of Ontario within a day's drive.

At a wedding reception in Des Moines. Score?

You always want to keep someone like Boeser or Jost, but there is something I like about having a team full of talented, committed (experienced) players who feel they have to do it without a number one draft pick there to score the big goals and make the big stops.

Thought Greg Page could put a new ATO house on every block.

Got it. You're right.
