I'm pretty sure he was the C. Didn't he also ask out of wearing it because it was a distraction for him?

2 Season tix Sec 303 Row G $1275. Which is what I paid for them. PM if interested.

Didn't he have 5 or 6 empty netters? Puck always seems to find the goal scorers.

I'd like to see this line too but I don't think they'll put Mark and Luke together because they want them both at center.

Though all the penalties were frustrating they were trying to clean up what has been complained about for years. There was only one penalty I saw that I didn't understand. As long as they stay consistent it should benefit this team with the speed it has. I agree with some of those questioning OD and Mitch but trying to evaluate those that didn't play on pp or pk is tough from this game. I think the forward lines stay mostly the same because of this. Schmaltz back in and Thompson will rotate through. I wouldn't mind seeing Clarke start tonight just for confidence. We'll need him later but Zane is the guy.

I looked back a little bit. Zach Parise did not have letter. Looking back to about 1980, I only see about four people who may have had letters as sophmores. Toews Ian Kidd - the list of captains I am looking him having letters both years he was here but it looks funny so I wouldn't be surprised if that is wrong. Marc Chorney Hak - Not sure if he really counts though, he was only here for two and a half years. What was the deal with his eligibility?

I'd go with 2013 - Simpson 2014 - Pattyn 2015 - St Clair Not saying St Clair should or shouldn't get a letter next year but who were sophmores to get letters? I know Toews had an "A" and didn't Z Par too? That has got to be pretty elite company.

Agree. About half way through the year I told others that I thought that if Schmaltz stays long enough, he will be the best 2-way dman we've had in awhile. He has a ways to go but for a two way freshman I thought he played well.

What is the over/under on game length with Adams and Anderson running the show? I bet that's why they have the early start.

I've got a feeling..ooh...oooh...that tonight's gonna be a good KNIGHT.

Agree 100%. People who get excited about players whose feet come off the ground AFTER a collision drive be crazy. Energy will take the path of least resistance and often times that is UP.

When they came out with the major for contact to the head, my cinical first response was to have everyone skate with their head down because no one could hit them. If Trouba had just been standing in the guys way and braced for the hit the opponent, by lower his head, would have run his head into Trouba's elbow and gotten blown up because he had no idea what was in front of him. I think it was a clean hit. He certainly didn't lead with his elbow out. Contact to the head certainly, but whose fault was that? I put it more on the guy skating with his head down.

I was thinking about your wallpaper's a couple of weeks ago. Love the grunge tiles.

Last weekend was the first "real" weekend for this team. I was more than happy last week with the development they showed on Friday from the ealier games I have seen. Certainly Saturday wasn't as good but was that more because of us or them? I don't know that but I do know that it is stil OCTOBER and getting better is a process. If they handed out trophies in October UMtc would have like a billion of them!

I like Rocco on the third line until the bench gets shortened because any line he is on becomes a scoring line. He is a match up problem by himself and I think that taking him off the third line makes the match up easier on the opposition. What you would gain in the match up on the first line you would more than lose in the third line match .up The line I would like to see changed is the PP. In all honesty, I have been pretty critical of Kristo's play but putting him on the point takes so many of his strenghts away from him. And with the way Forbert has been getting the puck to the net I would like to see him out there with Knight, Kristo, Rocco and either Simpson or Schmaltz.

Rowney...for the win!

I'm a little sketchy in the details but I think the story was about Kozek and his shot and they asked the goalie about the heaviest shot they faced in college and it was Bochenski's. I want to say that the goalie was Lamoureux but he didn't play the same time as Bochenski, maybe it was from summer or practice. Parise play against them both but I still think it was Phil.

Knight broke ZPar's face off% record two years ago. I think certainly they are different types of players but both with very solid all around games.

Rocco, MacMillian

Thanks...I didn't remember him... I knew there were other suspensions but was thinking that Kristo was the only one out on Saturday. I didn't realize they spread out the suspensions across both days.

Is Panzarella out for Saturday?
