Fair enough. I'm thinking more of just losing a heart-breaker, not necessarily a meltdown.

So basically the "worst" person on the board. Any nominations? Just kidding

Relax, bub. It was off-week banter. If any fan base knows that winning a banner doesn't come in January, it's this one. We've all experienced it several times in this decade alone. We get it. It was just something fun to think about.

Four? Good stuff. I really like his size. Seems quick, too. I'd bet we are taking a good look at him.

I think we were all aware of that. Well, I was... but was just playing around thinking it'd be fun. Thanks for peeing on my Wheaties, though

I think it's only different in that there is SOME chance. Matthews has zero chance. Schmaltz is more than likely gone, but there's still a chance.

If that's the case, that would mean Bess thinks he'll stay, which I think he will, too. But, no chance for Matthews... next year he'll be in the NHL. Guy can only dream. Schmaltz centering Boeser and Matthews. Jost on the second line

Stayed on the bench, actually. Starman commenting about "North Dakota Tough"... Schmaltzy back on the ice. Love it.

Dang. I can't find a link online

You watching this on TV or where, sprig?

Anyone have a link to the Sweden game? I'm struggling to find one.

He's a freshman, relax. Not everyone has the early scoring touch like Boeser. Remember Fratts? I pick Keaton.

Oh I know... had to listen/watch that terrible radio show that NHLN broadcasts from TSN. Those three are liking listening to paint dry.

Announcers mentioned the Canadians complaining that the Finnish crowd was influencing calls in their game. Anyone have any insights on this? Seems like hogwash. Isn't that pretty typical of any home crowd to try and do?

Sweet, so there will just be someone who puts this on ustream when it starts or how does that site work?

Anyone know where to watch this? I'm moving and I don't have my TV I know NHL.com had all the games on last year. Do they have them again this year?

Haha I know, hence the winky face. I love the way we are playing and here's to big things in 2016.

Agreed. I think one thing that might keep Schmaltz here is that he realized how much better he got this past offseason. He's bigger and can take hits, now. Boeser needs this, too. Schmaltz will be an absolute freak with one more offseason in Grand Forks. Those two with Jost, who might, right now, already be a better finisher than Cag.... woof. Banner No. 9, for sure Getting ahead of ourselves, a bit, but it sure is fun .... LOTS of big things left to accomplish. I think we all realize this has the makings of a really special year. Strap in!

Yeah, now that you mention it, all three could be considered a getter, because the all backcheck like demons, play well in the corners and in the neutral zone. If I HAD to peg it... I think I'd say Boeser = netter (purest scorer of the three), Schmaltz (purest playmaker of the three) = setter and Drake = getter (effort guy that is always moving)... lol that's tough to do, with this line.

I think this line closely resembles the CBS line in terms of the basic "Netter-setter-getter" thought.

I completely agree with everything you said, I am just not sure either will stay. If I had to predict, I'd think Boeser is here next season and Schmaltz is not. I hope I am right on Boeser and wrong on Schmaltz. As has been said a bunch on here, let's enjoy this ride. We are truly seeing a special group of players on this line and the rest of the team.

I'd think we'll get at least one more from Boeser. He's gotta get better at skating, IMO. I thought for sure we'd get three from Schmaltz after an up and down rookie year, but he might be the best player this year, so far, in the NCHC. What a first half that kid has had.

Thank you.

See?! That's not terrible at all! The first one posted was. This is just fine.

Careful.... Be. Careful.
