I just don't understand what I'm missing here... Ok, so we already established that we had enough forwards to cover losses to graduation, an even one more with depth in consideration, right? .... So, we lost another in Gornall. We got an additional player. Now, we have the number we had before.... Plus, a scholarship-type player like Gersich is replaced by a scholarship-level player, which is already done previously in the pipeline, not this late in the game.

I'm assuming this is in the U.S., right? Taking a look at the medal count, I think this is an easy discussion. Not a lot of stars in our Winter Games for the U.S. to get behind.

Precisely! This is why this signing has nothing to do with Shane.... he's a walk on and has nothing to do with schollies.

Yeah, or we are adding another non-scholarship depth player. You could be right, but THIS move is not a reflection of anyone leaving. It's depth. Connect the dots all you want, this isn't anything more than a depth move with scholarship money making no difference.

Haha exactly! Tychonik is a scholly player where you need to allocate funds across players. Huber isn't... we could add 40 walk-ons and it just doesn't matter.

No. We had enough forwards coming in before adding today. Huber is for Gornall. I don't get why this isn't black and white. Huber is a depth add since we already had enough forwards coming in regardless of what Shane does. What is everyone missing?! Even Schlossman is reporting this. Again, Shane could go, but this isn't anything but adding a replacement (and a walk-on, for that matter) for a forward who we KNOW won't be here next year (Gornall).

Lol we'll see. I definitely think Wooly is gone, but Gersich's stock may have dropped this year. Wouldn't surprise me if he stayed. I hope he does. He's an important player for us. Wouldn't blame him if he didn't, though.

If we can keep Gersich and Wolanin, we're going to be a top 5 team.

I don't understand how people don't see why this has nothing to do with Gersich. This is a move to replace Gornall. Gersich may go, but this addition has nothing to do with it.

Where is this speculation coming from? We picked up an extra forward because Gornall left. Had he still been on the team, we likely don't. You said it perfectly... it's a depth move.

He is coming next year and is an obvious replacement for Gornall. I really don't understand the problem with this lol.

They dominated all weekend when even. Only reason we lost on Friday was our PK. Seems to be a simple formula, right now. Stay out of the box and we are pretty darn good defensively to control teams. Consistency, boys and girls. This team has the goods to be in the tourney and has shown then ability to play with and beat anyone.

And he looked good on the PK, too. We need him big time in all facets.

Puts things in perspective, a bit. So many programs would love to be where we are at today with our team battling for a tourney berth down the stretch at No. 12 in the PWR. We consider this a down year.

Couple things I brought up to a couple buddies that I'd like to ask you guys and gals... Anyone else wanna guess who plays in net next week? Cam was brilliant tonight and earned a Friday start in Ohio, to me. Also, did Bubbs ease Jones in tonight? I noticed him on the PK, but I don't think he played any PP minutes. Felt like he was skating well.

Lol bunch of old fogies on here getting a little butthurt that the boys called people out on social media. Good stuff. Glad it turned into a joke with less criticism. Let's keep it that way, shall we? Good win tonight, boys. We now know you are all watching!

Hahaha well played

Elaborate??

Hahahahahahaha omg this is priceless. This makes me so beyond happy. Oxbow6 is a punchline for the boys.

Never said he was a direct correlation to either, but they won on Sat, so maybe he just wants to keep things as is.

They won a game with this lineup last week. Bubbs must have liked what he saw. I'd rather see Adams in for Casey, but I get it.

Still no Jones -- Thome with the nod 19-22-14 26-10-11 25-16-29 5-9-7 24-6 28-4 3-20 1 33 35 Scratches: 2, 8, 18, 27

Friday -- Rhett Saturday -- Pogo

I mean, why change it up? It's just one win lol.

Nah... Let's all bit*h and moan about it for several pages of thread.
