I never said that, though lol. "Rolling four lines" to me, means having the depth to not have to play only the Top 6 players. Keeping players fresh and not losing much in terms of scoring punch from top to bottom.

I definitely disagree with it being situational. Teams with strong depth play all four lines more evenly than those with less depth. By matching lines, you can keep your team fresh and not lose scoring opportunities with whomever is in the ice. Our best teams had tremendous depth and evened out playing time as much as possible. Being able to have a guy like Weatherby centering the fourth line late in a game against a team's top line who is gassed or their less talented fourth line is a clear advantage to us.

Rarely? I'd argue our best teams in recent history rolled four lines all game long. We'd be more likely to pull players out of position if we didn't have depth, but this team will be very deep.

I feel like the writing was on the wall at the end of last year unless he took a big step. He was behind Bast and Frisch. He was going to be battling for the 5/6 slot. Agreed with the PP time.

So move two players from their best position? Why not just slot them as four centers and roll four lines? Depth is always a good thing.

I just can't see Weatherby playing wing. He's too good in the middle.

Definitely. Jonny wants top 2 pairing minutes and that is no where near certain.

I've seen a couple with him top 6, but I guess I was thinking most aren't seeing him that way. If that's the case, I've read it wrong.

Here's my thoughts from what I've been hearing. Mismash - Adams - Guchi Gaber - Pinto - Caulfield Blaisdell - Weatherby - Budy Hain - Senden - Ness Keane - Rizzo - Albrecht Think we here at SS are a little high on Rizzo. Could be in a suit for a bit. Definitely low on Gaber. Been told that he's gonna be a big-time contributor. Explosive skater. Ness will need a spot, too. Maybe try Blaisdell on the second line, but Gaber has the skill. Maybe flip Keane and Budy. Judd is going to have a season, IMO.

Yup. Kierstad, Senden and JBD should get As. Keane is my wildcard for an A.

Definitely. Kierstad, JBD, Sanderson, Frisch, Bast, Kleven, Moore, Reiger... That's a loaded back end. He definitely saw he'd be battling for ice and that's a tough spot for a junior second round pick. I wish him the best. Seems like a great kid. Very happy it's Omaha and not UMD or DU.

This team starts and finishes with Kawaguchi. Locker room adores him. Same can be said for Kierstad and Senden, but Guchi has been a captain at every level and I'd be shocked if he's not the C next year. C - Guchi A - Kierstad A - Senden, definitely the C his senior year A - JBD, if he stays A - Keane Keane's move to pull himself from the lineup on senior night, apparently, was incredibly well received by his teammates. So, I think that goes a long way to earn him that character letter.

You'll see! Good things

Big day tomorrow

Yeah, I just realized Hain is back. Now I get it. CJ and Yon were both really, really good last weekend and Keane was good on Friday.

I understand the amount of players allowed to dress. I just think he should be one of the players.

So, they just flat out left him home? That's really weird.

Healthy scratch, but didn't make the trip? That's weird. He's gotta be knicked up.

Keep it rolling. Do we see Scheel or Thome? I think Scheel Friday to kind of exorcise the demons from earlier this season. Get the win and don't let those dirty dogs a finger on our Cup. 5-2 UND Guchi, Mismash, Smith, Michaud, Yon

One of the Middelstadt's scored in the first period and came out of the group celly holding his shoulder. Made me laugh and think of the pull-ups. *Cough* Pu$$y *cough*

Awesome stuff. Love this team. Give Keaner an A next year. That's what I want in a leader.

Spot on, man.

Take them seriously in terms of their team, of course. I still don't see them as a rival. I get that we play in the same conference, I just don't have a desire to beat them like I do many other teams. I mean, I want them to win all games, but, I think you know where I'm coming from lol.

Canisius

It's adorable Are they even in our Top 10 of rivals? I'd say a hard no.
