Well.... I'll disagree about that.

If Caggiula remains out, I say they put Parks with Rowney and Grimaldi.

Good thing about the inter webs is location doesnt stop you from visiting the website with more of your kind!! You're not gonna find much love for your favorite team here. But that's why you're here, isn't it?

The Gopher lovefest can be found at www.gopherpucklive.com

In my experience, most teams arrive by Thursday afternoon, perhaps earlier depending on the location of the opponent's school.

Can one of the Gopher fans lurking around here tell me the ranked teams the Gophers have played? I had their record against ranked teams retweeted on my twitter and I'm curious how they came up with that record.

Not a necessary comment.

Good thing they have 4 goalies...

Or... UNO offered him first. I heard we offered the day or day after he committed to UNO. But that's not to suggest if we had offered sooner he wouldn't have chose differently.

Glad I got mine prior to the on-sale. No way could I afford those prices.

My apologies to those spending 3x the face value.

They were the ones cheering for Holy Cross.

Rodwell is out. A couple weeks it looks like.

I don't know reasoning behind Housley's hire, but I did hear USA hockey liked his calm demeanor as a coach. There's obviously more to it than that, but that's part of it I am sure.

Seattle, Everett, & Portland are WHL teams in American cities. There's also a couple OHL teams in Michigan.

That's just comical. Isn't there an almost annual American major junior player that whines about not making the WJC team and says the reason is because he plays major junior? Let's be real, time for Canadians to learn the demographics of the American roster before they make outlandish statements like that. We Americans are all about diversity, Canada. Our rosters are mostly NCAA players, though I think this year has had more CHL players than in the past. Or maybe it just seems like it.

The opposite could happen too. A kid could come to UND w/ average USHL stats, and have a great career in college. It's about development. More recently, Mike Parks didn't put up overwhelming USHL numbers, decent yes, and he seems to have done okay here thus far. My point is that it's all about what they do when they get here. It's fun to follow them now, but it all means nothing if they do nothing when they get here.

Luke Johnson's numbers aren't that much better and he made the team... just saying... If you read the article, it says that each team has one representative in the game. The selection committee obviously felt Voltin was the best representative from his team. It's a prospects game. It's supposed to showcase the top draft eligible players in the league. Evaluators have to take into account a lot of different scenarios. There were some questionable selections last year too. For example, AJ Michaelson had terrible stats last year and he played in this game. Personally, I don't know why we can't all just say congrats and leave it be... it's a good opportunity for all these players to show their skills to scouts. Deserving (which is always subjective) or not...

He centers the top line in Des Moines. He's going to have more assists than goals with those hands of his. If you've ever seen any of his shootout goals, you'll see more of what I mean. Des Moines isn't the most offensive team out there, as the scoring is pretty close among the top 10 scorers on the team. He seems pretty versatile because he's got the skill to play on a scoring line, and is gritty enough to play on a grinder line.

I need an excuse to go somewhere warm! Hockey game is a legit reason.

The problem with Miller is that he is a selfish liar. Call me immature, fine. I have zero respect for him. I hope USA does well at this tournament. But it won't change my opinion on Miller. I'm glad he didn't come to UND. No room on the team for guys like that, no matter how talented they are.

For me personally, it was a lot of little things. Communication with students on deadlines was horrible. Course requirements were odd and random - not equivalent to many courses at other schools as you'd expect for Gen Ed courses. Parking situation was awful. That said, I know people that loved it there and I know people that hated it. It wasn't for me for a lot of reasons. I thought I'd like being close to home, but turns out I didn't.

I've heard Peterson is one to watch as well as far as prospects go. Not saying we are, but in general.

Well it's a terrible school... And I'm not talking about hockey. I went to SCSU for a year and a half. Just terrible. Maybe Mitch agrees.

To be fair, Haula wasn't underage.
