I'm bringing Sunglasses inside. I'm sitting behind their bench. I dont want to be blinded by the bright colors. Too bad Bjugstad and the other blond guys didn't get to participate in this so-called team bonding activity.

It's unusual to be drafted before your senior year though so its something that can get missed. I remembered because everyone was wondering why he wasn't here already that year. He aged out of the NTDP because of his birthday. Mattson did as well, hence the reasoning for going to juniors.

Yes. Kristo played a year in Omaha with the USHL after he was drafted and it would be 3 years after this season with UND. That would be four years and fit him into that category. He was drafted before his senior year of high school.

What? That doesn't make sense. You are drafted in high school. He got drafted out of the NTDP. Played his senior year in Omaha.

This is true. Bemidji, the 6 seed last year, beat Duluth the 3-seed and Bemidji got to play Denver and we got to play CC. Teams are only reseeded once.

He has no business in high school hockey next year if you ask me. Time to move on if you dominate like that. I couldn't believe how ridiculous that was.

An extra body for what? To keep everyone company on the bench? Because he sure as hell wouldn't be getting any ice time.

No. No. No. Do you seriously think some kid in intramurals wouldn't be a defensive liability on the ice? There's a reason they are playing intramural hockey and not d1 or d3 hockey. If there was a kid seriously lighting up intramurals, the coaching staff would be aware of it. Seriously.

Anyone else annoyed with this argument?

Who? Just kidding. I had heard of the kid before. That would be a ginormous mistake. WHL is for players that are going to play in the NHL in two years or less, generally. If that's not you, I think you're throwing a lot away.

Though after next season our games won't be on FCS anyways. So I guess it depends if you want to switch that badly just or a year's worth of home games.

Well aren't you being a tad judgmental here? Nice job. He's 16 for crying out loud. Lots of kids are screwed up at that age.

You can remove yourself from the student directory you know...

There's talk on USCHO that the committee might pick Northeastern over UND for the last spot. Doesn't make sense to me, but... Women's don't always follow the pairwise straight on.

3 U18 players were demoted. Koules, Nik Olsson and Brendan Silk. Not sure why. I heard they were probably going to demote some guys after their bad showing at the international tournament a few weeks ago. You can be demoted if you're 17. You're just ineligible to play in international tournaments at the U17 level.

George is always pissed. And when he's not pissed, he's a smug little b*tch. Nothing new. Let's go put a damper on their season tonight.

As a junior?

Because you're a perfectionist?

I apologize to any UMD fans that may be reading this, but that fanbase has some of the biggest idiots I've ever come across in my life. The only respectable UMD fans I know are my cousin and the teller at Wells Fargo. To defend this kind of thing is ridiculous. I'm glad I was raised to have common sense and decency of what is appropriate and what is not. It's always our fault. You can't make this crap up.

After sitting on the glass behind their bench at the Final Five for a game last year, I witnessed first hand how truly arrogant they really are. And I hated them before. That experience just magnified everything. I hope we destroy them.

Ha, that's funny because some of the only nice people I encountered at the Frozen Four were some Notre Dame fans. Weird.

Don't go around calling me nuts. I have faith in my freaking team. That's not saying it will happen because Gwoz is in bed with the officials, but I believe in my team and won't be surprised if it does. Sorry I have a glass half full approach instead of being negative and pessimistic.

There's a picture of him at the Plymouth Ice Center down here in the Cities. Last time I was there I had on a Frattin t-shirt. That felt awkward. But hey, at least Wayzata is proud of him!

For some reason, I can't read the article due to an error. Thanks for the snippets!

45 minutes in between games is what I heard.
