Ssshhh, you do know that many current WCHA coaches lurk this message board looking for coaching insight from redwing77. The last thing we want is for those coaches to find out the Hakstol secrets as well!

Agreed. I would be surprised to see him back with the Sioux next season. Although saying that, he might be our only early departure this year...

A Tech fan over on USCHO said he might be interested in playing goalie. How many goalies do we have among the 11 already interested?

Even if that were the case, you would think only the freshmen players would be affected by the "early season issues" since all the other players would have gotten used to it in previous seasons. Whatever it is, it's certainly nice to see this group of players come together after a rough first half (I think I've said that same thing the previous four years as well). Now hopefully this team can just win a couple more games at the end of the year...

I posted this on the Sioux and F5 thread over on USCHO. Hopefully we'll get enough interest...

Looks like nodakvindy answered the question.

I don't know either way on that one. This article talks about it being a WCHA record, but it might be a NCAA record. Anyone know for sure? Meanwhile, Duncan is at: Fr - 46 gp So - 43 gp Jr - 43 gp Sr - 36 gp (so far) 168 gp total for him so far Assuming no injuries, the regular season will have him at 170 gp. Then let's say a 2-game WCHA 1st round playoff (could be 3 games) and 2 games at the F5 (if they make it). That's 174 or 175 gp right there. He can certainly break Porter's record if the Sioux win a game or two in the NCAA tourney...

He's also closing in on Porter's consecutive games played WCHA record. That would be impressive.

I'm game. I was planning on bringing my hockey stuff anyway, just in case.

Bruneteau, Cichy, and Kristo are coming for sure. If Forney decides to return, add him to that list. That leaves one open spot, and Knight, Rowney, or Mattson to fill it. I think it would be between Knight and Mattson.

redwing77, why don't you buy the webcast so that you can watch the games? It's much more fun that way.

At home. Still two more regular season games to go.

I think his teammate Walsky has him beat. Definitely some speedsters on that team. Two games...but all it takes is one.

That would be awesome. Many thanks!

It's quite satisfying to me. Two tough teams that are both playing desperate hockey. And now we're in 1st place.

1st period over. 2-0 UND 13-8 SOG UND

There's one that Bachman would like back.

Back out there.

Malone on the bench with a possible arm injury... We really don't need all these injuries right now.

According to Brad, Miller is in. Good news. Hopefully the injury to Gregoire is nothing serious...

Not the best way to start the game, but hopefully Davidson (and Finehage if Miller can't go) play well. And we can hope that we have everyone (Gregoire, Toews, Miller, Trupp, etc) back at 100% heading into Madison next week...

According to Brad, Gregoire got nicked up in the Sat game. So Kozek moves up to the top line and Davidson will take Kozek's spot on the 4th line. Also, Miller is a question mark too. Finehage is warming up in case Miller can't play. Ouch.

I think Trupp earned his way back to the 2nd line. He had a good game yesterday. I guess the goal that deflected in off of Civitarese cost him a lineup spot.

Sounds like another UW recruit didn't pan out. According to Chuck Schwartz on USCHO, there is a rumor that goalie recruit Crandall was told that Eaves no longer had a scholarship offer for him. Crandall was having a horrible year in the USHL, and with Bennett from BU joining them next year, I guess Eaves didn't want him anymore. All of this stuff is going to catch up to Eaves at some point. If I was a parent with a kid that was being recruited by UW, all of these de-commitments from both players and the coaching staff would make me think twice about even considering UW. Of course, my kid would be pro-Sioux/anti-Badger to begin with, but you get the point.

More than likely either MTU or UAA. But there is also still the chance that we could play MSUM or UMN if we finish in 3rd.
