Bubswinkle pulled a goalie out of his hat!

I'd say yes, but for reasons unrelated to Natasha. Who is hot.

Works. Motzko is Boris Badenov? These posts will confirm our age, Sic.

Bubs as Bullwinkle: "Nothin' up my sleeve . . ."

In a way, though, unranked teams are more dangerous in the pairwise and truly have “must win” implications. A loss to UMn wouldn”t be fatal; a loss to Canisius could be. On the other hand an underdog win against the goofs would be a springboard, while a win against Can would just help us tread water. the big risk I can see is an azzkicking by UMn or BU would not be good for an inexperienced goalie’s mojo early in the season, which would make us vulnerable to the unranked teams on the schedule.

I'll bet you hate ice cream cones and county fairs too. And kittens too, now that I think of it.

Looks like our freshmen D will be asked to grow up fast. Hopefully, their on-ice IQ will enable them to slow the game down sooner than most.

So we're a more mature group. What of it? BTW, please trap me, if you must, in a world where Elvis still lives. Yeah, I know . . .

We are all around you: your milkman, the man who tunes your car, who rents you your videos, who repairs your shoes, who designs your check blanks. We're everywhere, and our voice is strong, if just a little muted. .

To say nothing of the fact that we ss.com experts ought to have some say in the matter.

How do you assess goalies? They are all so weird, as you well know.

I'm sure it affects uncommitted recruits, especially the younger ones, to see some programs getting top commits and transfers. A little of the Ivy League effect. Which programs are perceived to be at the top of that heap in any given year or years is a little cyclical, I suppose. UMn is bound to be pretty consistently up there, given the number of elite players growing up there.

Can't say I've seen or heard any pops, but there have certainly been some bulges showing.

It would be interesting to follow the dollars that come in under one Caitlin Clark's name, image, and likeness for the next six months.

He was very good this year, IMO

Silly me; I thought it would be safe to conclude that forwards would feel free to be more aggressive on the forecheck and deep penetration if they had elite goaltender and D behind them. No data or real hockey theory to back it up though, other than the fact that I'm never wrong.

One small upside is that the young forwards seemed to improve their defensive play later in the season. OTOH, it's hard to develop an aggressive, attacking offense if you lack confidence in the D and goalie behind you. Hopefully, Jake can get some pickpocketing lessons from his cousin this summer.

Is your petty side as YUGE as mine is?

This FF should have some great hockey.

Great pun

Looks like UM's players were instructed to put more pucks on net. Their wealth of skill gets in their own way sometimes it seems.

Imagine what it's like for 100-level flashbacks. More like a dim glow.

And if they do get the pass off, all spaces have closed up. I think they did that under Hak too.

Watching these teams play confirms my feeling that our D tend to hold on to the puck forever before passing.

Q really jambs up the the shooting lanes well
