This is kinda what I'm thinking too. Even if we only lose Boeser and Jost up front I think I'd still bring in Mismash, Jones, Adams, Mattson, and maybe Kawaguchi too. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a transfer or 2 up front and that may be the best for both sides. Defensively there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot of choices to make. You lose Ausmus and Poolman and bring in Bast, Kiersted, and Rieger.

Gersich

Another disappointing loss. Had chances but didn't finish well enough. Some will say the officials let them play and they like to see that but I'll say they did a very poor job. They let tons of hooking and holding go as well as cheap hits all night long which is what Western Michigan does best. Step up and make the calls and officiate the game the way it is supposed to be. Murray is gonna whine all game no matter what you do. I know Western is having a pretty decent year but I still don't think they are a real good team. They need officials to let them play a style where nothing is called otherwise they will be in trouble.

Poganski

Can't remember for sure think it was Greg Flugaur. I know the Twitter name was shared on GopherIllustrated but he gives more information on there than on Twitter.

Yeah he has me believing. When he started the PJ Fleck thing I thought it was just a joke and somebody hoping it would happen but he was right on the money with pretty much everything that played out and he started putting out the information before the bowl game. I don't know who his sources are but they certainly seem to be pretty good.

They need to find a little discipline too if they want to be a tournament team. Don't know how they could really argue any of the calls, maybe the last major could have been a minor instead. They were more worried about putting Gophers through the boards whether it was legal or not than winning the game and it cost them against a team with a very good powerplay.

No not really skinny. Room to add some weight but looked pretty well put together already.

http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=444997 has him as 6'1" but watching him the last time they played Red River I would have guessed closer to 6'3".

I think those are the 2 I would choose as well but really as long as the 2 come from the group of Simonson, Wilkie, Olson, or Hoff I'm fine with it. If everyone is healthy for Western Michigan I'd try a lineup of: Gersich-Jost-Boeser Smith-Gardner-Poganski Yon-Bowen-Gornall Janatuinen-Hoff-Olson

Very big win tonight! Played pretty decent for the most part and battled through some bad calls. The Gardner penalty was terrible Borgen was holding his stick and he pushed him down either take both or don't take anybody. The Boeser call was pretty bad too I hate refs that reward a guy for turning at the last second. I thought the guys played with a lot more of an edge tonight and were more physical. Tonight was maybe the most physical game I've seen from Boeser in his year + with the Sioux. Good time for a week off to get some guys healthy. Would think Jost and Janatuinen will both be back for Western Michigan and I hope it will be 2 from the group of Simonson, Olson, Wilkie, and maybe Hoff coming out of the lineup and not Smith or Gornall that is for sure.

There isn't a whole lot I like about how this team is playing right now. Very soft, bunches of careless turnovers, losing board battles, losing puck races, whole lot of shots blocked, can't count on your goalie to come up with a save, rarely get chances between the circles instead happy to just play on the perimeter, and too many guys standing around waiting for someone else to do it. There is maybe 5 guys on this team playing to the level they're capable of right now and that is the most disappointing thing. This team needs to find a sense of urgency real quick and start playing Fighting Sioux hockey.

Really hate to see him decommit. Very athletic big goalie who I think has a very bright future. Hope we find another one like him to fill his spot.

Ryan Ullan the other NTDP goalie from Hibbing could be a possibility as well.

Recently followed the Minnesota hockey account.

Yeah definitely looks like he is. I really like his potential and I think he only turns 17 towards the end of February. I know him and another guy missed a few games because of some disciplinary issue my guess is a missed curfew or something like that but he got a start this past weekend.

Terrible loss no way around it and I'm sure it will hurt in the pairwise. CC's goalie was good and lucky but way too much perimeter play from the Sioux. CC's goal was a gift from Johnson. First the terrible giveaway drop pass in the corner when he had the easy breakout pass available and then it goes off his skate and in. When does it change from Wilkie not getting puck luck and he just needs one to go in to breakout to maybe he just isn't gonna be a scorer at this level? I've already moved him into the Mitch MacMillan and Wade Murphy category not sure why he still sees PP time I'd much rather put Bowen or Yon in his place.

I did see the highlights and the goal was included. Don't care how hard it was he was off his angle and most college goalies make that save. Nothing against Tomek I want him to develop into a goalie but with the situation we are in with not a lot of margin for error I feel more comfortable with Hrynkiw than him.

Yes believe Berry did it last Friday against Duluth. The challenge was for offsides and I don't think they look at that on their own reviews during the regular season. I think they can only look for whether the puck crossed the line, timing, and goalie interference.

Didn't get to watch the game but sounded like the Bowen, Yon, and Gornall line was our best line and although Gornall hasn't played a whole lot Bowen and Yon have been very good together all year so I guess it shouldn't really be a surprise. Also sounded like Peski was very good last night. The 1st period wasn't very good at all but seemed like the team woke up after the 1st intermission. I wasn't surprised to see Tomek get the start over Hrynkiw with Johnson being out but with the way things went in the 1st I also wasn't surprised to see Hrynkiw start the 2nd. The 1st goal wasn't Tomek's fault at all but the 2nd goal was a bad goal where he was caught out of position. I'm not sure how long Johnson will be out but I think Hrynkiw will be getting the call until he is back unless he gets absolutely lit up one game. It isn't because of anything Hrynkiw showed last night but more a comfortability thing for Berry knowing that Hrynkiw stepped in and was solid last year when Johnson was out.

I'd already slot him in higher than that I like his game. I think he would be a nice partner for Shaw or Poolman.

Hadn't heard that but could be as Washington State hired Minnesota's former DL coach.
