  1. Maybe he can get a goal here in the 3rd...seems like it has been a while for him.
  2. I don't think Goehring, Oshie, or Stafford ever played on the same team together. That said, it seems that we have always played BSU close recently. Off the top of my head, I don't remember ever beating them by more than 1-2 goals.
  3. That the Sioux aren't going to win three more games all year?
  4. Good to hear two guys like VV and Trupp scoring again. And Frattin with two assists already. Keep it up, no defensive breakdowns!
  5. Interesting to see Miller back at forward. And all the way up on the top line to boot! I like that 3rd line. Hopefully Toews can work his way back into the lineup...
  6. He will still use it though.
  7. And now it ended.
  8. The comeback has started!!
  9. He likes to be called Gordie. Flying V time!
  10. And now Slovakia will lose by at least 5 goals to Sweden.
  11. He's getting more and more playing time as the tourney goes on. I was surprised at how much he was out there against Canada. He'll for sure be fun to watch in a Sioux uni...good wheels on him.
  12. How much time left in the 2nd? Does anyone have a video link that works? I'm stuck at work, trying to get updates. Thanks!
  13. Good catch. I was just going to check Heisenberg anyway, and then I saw your post. Does anyone have any info about Parks? Looks like he is also on the U17 team.
  14. Heisenberg has it that Anders Lee has committed to Notre Dame. Great pickup for them, they will be strong in the coming years as well. I was hoping that we would land him, but you can't get them all.
  15. It's a good thing my wife isn't Slovakian, as then I would have to cheer for them against the USA in the next game.
  16. I was surprised with the cheap antics of the Canadian team. I guess when they actually face a team of equal skill, they have to goon it up. I really hope that the US gets another shot at them, this time for a medal. And then I hope that they shutup the goons, the showboat Tavares, and the 20k fans and take the whole thing.
  17. Haven't you always known?
  18. So even though he was an assistant coach and did most of the recruiting trips, he was not part of the equation?
  19. In the other big matchup of the unbeatens from today, Sweden beat Russia 5-0 to secure their bye to the semi-finals. The Czechs also beat Kazakhstan 10-2. Those were the first two goals scored by the Kazakh's in the WJC.
  20. Player development after half a season has put Schroeder on the WJC team and Gregoire with only 4 goals. Man, that Lucia can develop players quickly!
  21. I think people expected Toews to be a stud, even as a frosh, but not Oshie simply because he was coming straight from HS. I remember some posters commenting that he should have spent a year in juniors first. I don't think the Andy Murray situation is a big deal at all. I highly doubt that he "pulled" Brady out from UND simply because he thought that Hakstol couldn't coach his kid, while Blais could. Brady had a loophole that expired that year that gave him a shot at playing professional hockey after a frustrating season in which he was injured for a good chunk of the time. I don't read any more into it than that. Maybe Andy was upset with how Brady's injury was handled and advised Jordy to not go to UND...that's alright...UW needs those forward recruits far more than what we do. Hakstol has landed some great recruits that are coming in (Kristo, Cichy, Mattson, Forbort...not to mention players in this year's frosh class), and he will land great ones in the future. Andy's "insider influence" isn't going to change that.
  22. I still remember that game too. Berkhoel played out of his mind. I remember that Hale almost scored like 30 sec into the game on a centering pass, and it made me think about the Holy Cross game the night before where Parise scored less than a minute into the game. But it just wasn't to be...
  23. He'll have enough forwards next season to field two lineups (no joke!). One could say that it will make for good competition to make the lineup, but with over 2 full lines of forwards sitting in the stands each game night, it's just going to force more players to leave the UW system.
  24. Toby Kvalevog?
  25. Regardless of tonight's outcome, I would guess that we will see another USA/Canada matchup later on in the WJC...
