With pretty much the same team coming back (with just a few personnel losses) I'd say it's safe to assume the players already know who the leaders are. No need to delay a formality here. Just my 2 cents.

From what I gather, Gersich played more of a defensive role at the NTDP this year. Third line, like you said. I'd prefer another year of juniors as well, but if he comes in the fall, I won't complain either. Always nice to add a guy with some speed.

A tender is like a free agent signing. They are players that haven't been drafted that a team decides they'd rather not take the chance they would be available when they would be drafting, so they get the player to sign a tender. I've heard that if a team tenders a player they give up a first round draft pick, but not sure on the complete process. Most tenders I've seen are younger players in their first year of USHL draft eligibility.

They should all do one of those obstacle course races in the off season to prepare for these kind of situations!

I will debate that strength of schedule argument until I'm blue in the face. I did not find our schedule weak at all.

I hope they don't look at our recruit pipeline soon... At this rate they won't be able to use their Canadian bit much longer.

I signed up during the Frozen Four once. I was in Denver and registered while there. I was at severe senior status due to a double degree thing though so I registered before most by quite a while. Lots of people don't register right away. The only way you really need to is if you have classes that are in high demand.

Considering how awful Minny's defense was in that game, is it really that far fetched that some of our fans think we might've played better? It's just speculation is all. Doesn't mean anything.

Fine consolation prize.

Was his brother(s)? like that kind of player? That could be where the assumption comes from. He may be gritty, but with numbers like he put up, I'm guessing he's more of a mixture. Looking forward to seeing what he brings to the team next year.

That first sentence... Made me decide to take the high road.

I had a great view of the vein about to pop in Guentzel's neck at that game...

I have no problem with guys who will shoot the puck. Guys who are hesitant to shoot drive me insane.

Um... Shaw is a high school junior?

Anyone else amused that those two feel the need to come here and tell us how great their conference is? It reminds me of UNO fans and the whole needing people to tell them how good they are thing...

Ah, always nice to know some things never change... ...I kid, I kid (partially)

Always good to see a fellow SW Minnesota native on board!

OR NOT. I could care less what Minnesota does. But if they lose I won't get upset about it.

Miami wasn't one of the teams that screwed us non-conference to be fair. UNO and CC on the other hand...

I will be in the upper deck of Wells Fargo Center. My previous Frozen Four's I sat in Club level, and we lost, so I'm never sitting club again.

Rau is a junior...

True or not, all I hear is a complete lack of respect for the opponent.

Technically they did, but I'm not sure I personally feel a big rivalry game is an easier draw. But I'm not surprised this is the attitude in MSP.

I think we're at the Ramada as well. Also used the Wyndham points. We're going to do the long drive though. Can't wait to get out there.

YES. He thinks Mt Rushmore is in North Dakota and told someone they were wrong when we told him it was in South Dakota. He's gotta be like 12.
