Derek Rodwell has five goals in his last four games for Colorado of ECHL.

Wow. You might want to look at national champs' roster from last year. Check out current #4 Colgate's lineup. How about your own team's 2013-2014 players?

Sweep highly unlikely, split will be tough. Should be a great series. Duluth has outshot UND four games in a row, all at the Ralph. Some very good goaltending allowed UND to go 2-1-1 in those games; two went to overtime. Not counting an empty net goal, UMD outscored UND 15-13. Duluth has some really good forwards, many that return next year.

Brittain is a solid goalie playing on a team that defends well in prime scoring areas. His play is not nearly as strong as Scrivens' college performance. Never mind his recent record-setting performance, Scrivens worked hard to keep improving with the Marlies in the AHL before getting an opportunity in the NHL. He played well for Toronto last year and LA this year before getting traded to Edmonton. Brittain may develop in to an NHL calibre goaltender one day but he has a long way to go.

There are several others - Sedins, Stewarts, Babyches, Sutters, etc.

Thanks Goon - appreciate all the work you do on your blog.

OK Captains of the Obvious, everybody knows the USHL is by far the best supplier of players to NCAA D-1...you seem to claim it as inside knowledge...sometimes some very good players come from other leagues like the NAHL...this too is common knowledge.

You belittled SLU by saying that "if that was the best offer he got"...glad to hear you have endorsed Zane starting from here on out...you should let the coaches know because otherwise they will let the goalies' playing time go to whoever earns it, just as they did this year and every other year.

You are giving advice to posters reacting "instantly" when you didn't know all the facts when you posted? ECAC with a track record not up to your standards? This is the here and now. This young man committed to a good program/school and you feel the need to dismiss it as sub-standard. Things change - there are plenty of programs that have been strong in the past that are not strong currently: Michigan State, Maine, LSSU come to mind. Some programs are showing much more potential now than they did in the past: UMass-Lowell, Union, Providence, Minnesota State, Western Michigan. Maybe some posters are tired of you and a few others who post with a "know-it-all" attitude and never hesitate to comment negatively about young players, including those in the UND program. Along with the "know-it-all" attitude comes times when you fail to recognize facts. Why make comments that belittle players and coaches? Did you play the game at a high level? Have you coached and recruited ?

St. Lawrence is a great school...three all-Americans this year...part of ECAC that had two teams in the NCAA Championship game...why diss them?...USHL best league for sure, but sometimes very good players play in the NAHL.

Lee being with the big club for some time this season was part of his negotiated deal. Collecting an NHL salary for several weeks and burning a year of entry level contract are incentives to sign.
