Is that an option?

We agree, but even though players from those schools will be faster and older than Bison players (I think), guys who grew up playing hockey north of the border probably did so in a culture that believed if you got your bell rung, no matter how loud, because you had your head down, it's all on you. It's not that way so much in college hockey nowadays.

And that was Manitoba. But he will deal some pucks. Just a little like Grimaldi, his linemates better be ready. Hopefully, he has his dad's grit.

We have some possession players this year--at least against this caliber talent. Blake will make some pretty plays.

He is, but he may be trying to do too much with the puck.

It's just you, Blackheart; you need a reset every so often. Hate to be the guy to have to tell you that.

The Herb Brooks approach. Or at least his Olympics approach.

Will have to be somebody who interrupts well.

Boy, was Trupp on fire that game.

They bulk of it passes through their estate, probably when the survivor dies. That part could be a long ways off. Just as generous either way. Thank you Peabodys.

Even just two of the top line?

I’m just hoping we can get by Manitoba and eek out a few wins before Xmas.

I'd be interested in knowing how you all think this team will match up against DU and UMD. Not which teams are best based on talent and experience, but how the Hawks will match up against the kind of teams those two will put on the ice--the kinds of forechecks they use, neutral zone defenses, etc. I single those two teams out there because they will likely be factors in both the conference and NCAA championships, plus the fact that we fans are always comparing our recruits to theirs as if they are the standard we are measured against.

Grindah muscles control then makes a bad outlet pass?

Freshman forwards certainly stand a better chance of excelling than D-men, who have a tougher learning curve.

Not just the numbers either. Not all SOG are created equal.

That's why DU has him in such a panic! Once someone's banner count hits double figures, it all falls apart for him. Now I feel bad for giving him shyt.

gf might need a stand-in for practices. He's good at counting banners, but he's never been on skates.

It's disturbing to see that Berry evidently knows how to get chippahs to commit but doesn't do it nearly as often as he should, us having a better rink than either UMD or DU. But I guess most fans will settle for also-ran.

Well done, Sic.

Is it an elite group? If not, wtf we gonna do?

Thanks. burd is old--nothing is perfectly clear anymore. I found myself wondering whether some of the older coaches with great recruiting history (think York before retirement) shy away from social media communication and have their assistants handle that.

What are the rules with respect to coaches communicating with recruits through social media? Verboten?

In gf’s world, no. You either sign with UND (grindah) or not (blue chippah).

Really helps, though, to have a draw specialist who can also score for crunch time situations.
