  1. I'm not sure if this was already posted somewhere, but the paper showed this morning that Matt Smaby was called up from Tampa Bay. I believe this is his first stint in the NHL, so congrats.

    intesting that the 9th place team has 2 guys on the 1st team....and how Niskanen beats Chorney is beyond me.

  3. According to the St. Cloud Times, Duncan may be named the WCHA player of the year edging out Goepert. Interesting read;

    "The good-and-bad news: I have it on good authority Andreas Nodl will be the WCHA Rookie of the Year. Unfortunately, I have it on even better authority that Bobby Goepfert somehow lost out to UND's Ryan Duncan as Player of the Year. All due respect to Duncan, who's had a great season and deserves all his accolades -- especially for playing against guys twice his size -- I'm not convinced Goepfert doesn't mean more to SCSU than Duncan does to the Sioux. I guess we'll find out for real when the awards are announced on Thursday. I'll update them on our web site as they happen. If they pan out this way, perhaps Goepfert will be inspired to take revenge for last year's 5-3 season-ending loss in the Final Five title game -- including a goal on which Duncan made Goepfert look as bad as anyone. I believe Goepfert is not only the Player of the Year but he should be among the 10 Hobey Baker finalists announced Thursday, if not the winner next month. Motzko, a candidate for Coach of the Year, has earned that title nationally from SI.com" - Kevin Allenspach

  4. Ryan Bakken's blog I think sums it up best;

    Coach Dave Hakstol has always handled well the fact that his studs have left his team for 3-4 weeks over the holidays to play in the world juniors, rationalizing it by the fact that they return as better players. That has certainly been the case with Toews _ and Taylor Chorney, who was playing well before the Worlds, too. Brian Lee, who was good enough to be on the World Juniors roster three times, remains the enigma. He's played fine except for the fact that he makes the huge mistake that ends up with a red light flashing.

  5. Who knows anything about this kid?

    Jake Hanson - White Bear Lake HS

    He's only a junior this year, but it says in the Star Tribune today that he has several visits to D-1 programs set up for the next 6 weeks or so, including Minnesota, UND, Duluth, Denver, CC, and Mankato. What are our chances landing this kid?

    Committed to Minnesota according to GPL

  6. From the Star-Trib;

    One punch later, and Fedoruk would be rushed to the hospital with what the team called a facial injury. Wild players said the right side of Fedoruk's face caved in when Boogaard clobbered him.
  7. Toews, Duncan, Porter Martens or Bishop or Forney or Vandevelde or Walski, basically anyone else would be better..

    Oshie, Kozek, Watkins

    Kaip, Fabian, Porter

    Zajac, Miller, Bishop

    PP1: Oshie, Toews, Duncan

    D: Lee/Chorney

    PP2: Watkins, Kozek, Kaip/Porter

    D: Radke/Finley

    Porter does not belong on a top line or on the power play....period!

    But a guy who has 3 career goals in Kaip does? I still can't figure that one out.
