Well yes, that’s why he didn’t play until Thanksgiving weekend

I’m bad at math. .914?

Yes and I hate that.

It’s really funny to me seeing 24 referred to as a defensive defenseman because the first time I saw him play in juniors in Alberta he had 2 goals and an assist in the 1st period of the game. His defensive game has actually improved a lot since then.

Midco is broadcasting it on midco. Alex and Jake are calling the game. If you stream on NCHC TV you will get the Omaha feed though. There’s an article on the GF Herald about it.

Bast didn’t play until Thanksgiving weekend for added reference on how long he was out.

Can 5 even play hockey right now? He’s been injured the entire season.

No part of me would be at all confident Omaha is getting it done this year. It could happen but it’s definitely not a bet I would make.

I think picking Omaha to advance to the conference semi-finals for the first time ever in addition to winning a series against a team it has never won a series against ever, and facing a team they have not beaten this season is a really tall task for Omaha.

There’s usually a couple teams Ontario leagues that are decent. The year I went to the national junior A tournament in Canada, the Ontario teams got beat pretty handily by the AJ (Brooks) and BC teams (Prince George). Portage Terriers were there out of the MJ and they were more competitive.

If I recall he was in the portal the entire year Alaska didn’t play. I think he was trying to finish his undergrad degree so he could easily grad transfer so he stayed in Alaska. I think this may have been when transferring as a non-grad transfer required you to sit out a year. Players on teams that sat out the Covid season still had that season count towards their eligibility. Sidorski is the same situation.

He does not.

I assume there’s some tiebreaker scenarios that prevent going to SCSU.

Slipec plays limited minutes on a stacked team. I’d be interested to see how he does playing in more of a top six role.

I just tell myself they are really the third line… just for my sanity.

From what I remember, he was supposed to be in this year’s junior class, I think he was even announced. And then sometime in the summer I think someone on here said something about him playing another year of juniors. And not long after the decommit happened. He never did play another year of junior hockey though…

I thought developing our younger players has been an issue long before Covid. Like how many younger skilled players that start their careers in the bottom six ever make it into our top six? And stay there consistently?

Seriously. Was just going to say this.

BCHL is above the NAHL. Probably a step below the USHL but I don’t know how significant it is. Dylan James played in both the AJHL and the USHL and he said the depth of talent is better in the USHL but the top tier teams in the BCHL and AJHL are on par with the USHL.

You don’t even know who we may be recruiting.

To spotlight another Chicago Steel commit of ours…

8:30 I think…

I mean I’d also say it’s hard to project where 16 year olds will end up being drafted, which is when the high end kids usually commit. Sometimes it’s obvious that they’ll be a 1st round pick , but you never really know until draft year.

Perron had 4 assists tonight.

You could just accept that you don’t know the point system.
