Yes, we’re on the same page!

Also the messenger should send our line chart with that decision

I couldn’t tell you who is a better goaltender, but I can tell you the team seems to play better with Thome in net right now. Part of me wonders if it has to do with knowing Thome being a freshman and not as experienced that causes them to play harder in front of him. The only stat I care about is wins. If Thome can get us those, leave him in.

Since Baxter Arena has been our 2nd home since it opened, I predict more good results.

Or also if we could go a week without an injury to any line that did show chemistry. Because that’s pretty much what had been happening...

Back in my youth, I thought rock bottom was starting the season 0-3 after giving up a short handed natural hat trick ah how young and naive was I?!?!

I think I know his Twitter handle!

I’m here to help! Honestly, I want to see Mismash do well. I don’t think he’s someone who can “carry” a line himself yet. More of a complimentary player right now.

They desperately need Jones healthy. He has offensive chemistry with pretty much everyone - that’s why he is the leading forward scorer. Everytime we find a line combo that works, someone gets injured.

From my viewpoint, they are currently getting 2nd line minutes because Jones (and Hoff) isn’t available to center the 2nd line and they’re not putting Adams or Mismash at 2nd line center. Then again, Mismash has disappeared since December so he might as well be in the stands at this point.

He was reinjured? From the injury he played through against UMD?

Wednesday’s press conference. I watched the video on YouTube

Okay- That’s what I thought but didn’t want to completely call him out if I was wrong...

Wasn’t it Mismash? Or am I thinking of their third goal?

I also thought it was a quick pull. I thought it was the right move at the time for momentum purposes, but it didn’t really change how the game was going in the end. Defense was porous on those goals.

His answer when asked how to generate more offense is to “play well defensively” so this move doesn’t surprise me...

Yeah for some reason my memory stores every little detail about my favorite sports teams... So if anyone has any questions about a game in the last 12 years, I may know the answer...

Yes! Against Bemidji, Trevor had one. Also, someone missed an empty net against Miami which is why we didn’t sweep them.

Just to add on- another reason he’s out there a lot is because he’s one of the top face off guys. With Gardner being out recently and now Jones out, we’ll see more of him when there’s important draws.

Not only that, we don’t even know who is on what line...

Senden is a potential future captain. He’s captain of the Force, captained a state title team, plays against other teams top lines. He has a lot of intangibles. Jost staying would have changed the dynamic of the team significantly. It would drop Gardner to 2nd line center and Jones to 3rd line center, and that 3rd line would have created a mismatch for other teams.

It’s what we do best

Since we have one conference sweep, I see a perfect opportunity for a second conference sweep.

He’s already signed his LOI, which you can get out of, but it is a bit more firm than just a verbal. I’m not sure they’d have him sign it in the early signing period if they weren’t sure about bringing him in. Seems weird to me.

JBD could be ready, but like you said, logjam at D with no seniors this year and only one possible early departure. I bet he stays in juniors, and would like to see him in the USHL, but not sure that’s likely.
