Got it. You're right.

I like Poganski, but as big and skilled as he is, he doesn't have close to the possession skills Boeser, Jost an Toews had. Kristo had pretty good possession skills too.

What they appear to be lacking next year and have had for several years now is a possession player. Both Boeser and Jost fit that bill, but Gersich does not. Jost was on his way to being Toews-like in his ability to keep others off the puck.

If he could prove such a promise, and if they did not conform, Jost could argue that he was fraudulently induced and attempt to void the contract. Of course the written contract would contain terms designed to prevent that, including an integration clause.

Hard to believe a kid that young could be so good at possessing the puck in the dirty areas. He was long but not mature physically. Mentally? Far beyond his years.

You're an offensive fan, scpa. If you are defensive about that, I guess it makes you the complete package.

I don't know about MUCH bigger, but I agree. Blkackhawks fans, who are an impatient bunch, get it how important Toews is even when he's not scoring. Jost was one of the best this program has had, IMO. But that isn't cause for despair. It's a credit to our program and will yield recruitment benefits in the future. Good opportunity for some guys to step up.

We were lucky to get him in GF for a year, so this can't be a big surprise to anybody, really. Hope he has the kind of success guys like Toews, Oshie, Parise, etc have had, so future recruits see us as a great preparation for the NHL. We'd like all these kids to be like Duncan, but that just isn't going to happen with the No 1s. Hope he lights em up.

Oh I don't know: we handled Iwabuchi OK. But I get your point--we'll fumble with it now.

It IS good to hear from you, Patrick.

Don't feel afraid to change your feelings about the team, the coaches, or any of the players. Just because you express your love, admiration and undying loyalty for all things Sioux (another subject) when they are winning, does not mean you can't call them all a bunch of lazy, useless, ungrateful, couldn't-play-a-full-60-minutes-if-their-lives-depended-on-it punks if they go down a goal. It's part of the Fans' Bill of Rights.

FYP

Need to know TCoS and what a "one-timer" really is.

Progress is good, but I don't really care how many viewers follow ND and how many fans they could bring to college hockey. Give me a Denver/Harvard final with Harvard winning in OT.

Why do you want to fit in with this bunch. What is wrong with you?

Yup. The tournament results are not that far off from what a multi-game format would have produced, with the exception of ND and UML. Should be a good FF.

DaveK is a child, but the B1G is not awful. Two teams finished above UND in the PW, OSU took Duluth to overtime on Friday, and Wisconsin is on its way back. Michigan will not be down for long. I'd love for it to be a joke conference too, but it isn't. Dang, though, it's nice to see them come up with zippo in the tournament.

They seem to match up well with most. Makes you wonder what CC had that enabled them to give Duluth such fits this year.

It sounded like Union quit, but there are ways not to score 10 if the other team only has 3.

I like that. DU/Harvard final with Harvard winning it.

Good. Run it up to 10 - 3.

If Denver wins, will they play ND and UMD play Harvard?

how much time remaining

If he really does read this stuff, then he knows burd is as clueless as they come, and it will probably make him think he needs to stay.

Jost is closer to being ready that either Boeser or Schmaltz were after one year.
