1.2 million rubles just doesn't go as far as it used to.

As long as there are no injuries during those mid-season exhibitions...sounds good.

Is there a reason why we should hate you (or anybody, for that matter) because of that?

Geez, that '96 group of forwards just keeps getting better and better. Completely stacked. Hopefully the majority of them make it to campus and then stay for a couple seasons... They will be fun to watch grow together on the ice. Could be the makings of some very special teams by the time they are juniors/seniors like the Frattin/Trupp/Malone/etc class.

Morelli, Archibald, Zombo, Belfour...not to mention GF ties with Simonson and Turgeon. We could start calling them UND-Junior.

Long summer, huh?

Didn't expect that. He will do well for them.

Ausmus? Awesome pickup! Our d-corp next year is going to be VERY talented and VERY young. Should be fun watching this group get better in the next couple seasons. I say bring in all of them and watch them push each other for playing time. If one needs to be put up front to get ice time, so be it.

Hrynkiw? Can I buy a vowel please? Reminds me of Prpich and Chyzyk.

Are these old ladies connected to the hockey program or are they just in the peanut gallery? And, more importantly, if these two old ladies worked together, could they beat up Tony's aunt?

Definitely a different look for UMN next season. Might be some growing pains with that many frosh, but all 6 are highly skilled, so that will be offset a bit. Is Stepan to UMN confirmed?

How many forward recruits are coming in for them? Seems like a ton.

Low playing time guy...maybe Sanderson? Ausmus hasn't committed anywhere yet that I've heard but I keep hearing UMD or maybe UMN. Landing him this late in the game if we have room would be huge though.

No more blind passes right into the slot. Other than that, I love how he plays. He's always the hardest working guy out on the ice, and that is fun to watch.

He was talking to Hakstol about transferring. He didn't mind having to sit out a year.

Faragher had a brutal game. Weird to see after he's had some amazing games (especially against the Sioux, it seems) this season. That first goal set the tone IMO.

So we have the #1 overall seed against the #15 overall seed.

This post is certainly full of it.

I wonder how many more it will take before DU realizes that they effed up big time by firing Gwoz? Any guesses where Ausmus will end up? Too bad UND doesn't really have the room for him for next season (I believe he was slated to arrive on DU's campus this fall).

And Duncan was nearly half as tall!

Evidently watchmaker does. Deeply.

Boatload of players lost by MN. Most were expected though. Good thing they have a huge class coming in. Talented one too. But it will be hard to replace all those key players with newcomers. Totally different team for next year for them.

Wow, JSANNES really went on a tear there.

Wow, huge loss for DU. He played outstanding for them this year. Like others have mentioned, I feel that DU is going to be losing more this offseason. Firing Gwoz is going to put them in quite a hole...wouldn't be surprised if they lost more players leaving early + incoming recruits. Nice move, DU.
