Agreed. I think initially you think it won't be that big of a deal because of our depth and then they return and it becomes noticeable how much they have been missed. Same thing with St Clair. I think when he comes back it'll be obvious something had been missing.

I'm not sure I necessarily assume split. Haven't seen Miami play yet this year, but they don't seem to be as talented as in years past. Even the year they finished last, on paper they had the talent, things just didn't pan out. I like our chances better if Poolman is back in the lineup.

I only think it's okay if people complain about the results only if they aren't eligible to vote.

Well, I won't be, so there goes that theory...

One of Wisconsin's players, formerly of Penticton tweeted to Jost and Bast "Can't wait to see you guys this weekend" so sounds like they'll be here. But they're not "prospective" - but maybe they brought some friends...

I did, but I had this opinion beforehand. (And I watched Berry's post-gamer and heard what he said :))

Yeah, it's not his net until he's earned it.

Let's not forget that this was already an elite recruiting class prior to Boeser committing late and then he decides to come here and it's like "WHOA"

I wasn't that surprised either. Omaha doesn't match up well with teams similar to Western.

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than vote RR.

Fixed your post.

So, who would that be?

It's too early for pairwise to be that relevant. It's going to fluctuate a lot until more games are played.

We got a kick out of them chanting "We love Santa" - because we're like "Who doesn't love Santa Claus?"

Well just got into my hotel in Burlington- those 5 am flights really exhaust a girl out. I did see I am less than half a mile from Magic Hat Brewing Company- it's like they just knew what I was gonna need...

schlossman did...

I don't know but many of us remember Michigan's walk on Shawn Hunwick from the 2011 Frozen Four... Man it hurts to bring it up.

I'm going but I don't have tickets yet... I fly out crack of dawn Friday morning! Excited.

Wolanin was a forward up until like 2 years ago...

technically Gersich has an illness, not an injury so he could be back at any time. Not sure the extent of his illness though.

I'm just glad there are more of us referring to them as the trolls they are. I thought it was just me for soooo long...

You know they are technically not playing on Maine's home ice, right?

to me, it's not about comparing our score vs Bemidji's. We haven't dominated Manitoba like that in a looong time. Last year, we won a lot of games, but let's be honest. How many times can we say we flat out dominated an opponent? I remember a lot of 1 goal games we pulled out. So if this game is a preview of what is to come, that is something to look forward to.

Lol I suggested getting a friend to Periscope the games after the game on Saturday... Glad we are all on the same page.

He's not a potential unless he decommits from St Cloud... To your other point, it does seem like they do have a lot of imports - another one they have is a Brodzinski. I'm not sure how many they can have, looks like this would be their 5th import.
