My main basis for comparison is watching UND and other WCHA teams so am a little spoiled with guys that sometimes go right to NHL or AHL from college....where I think the big difference in speed and especially consistency is the 3rd and 4th line guys in the ECHL who would be 1st and 2nd line guys at most colleges and especially on the back end with how the defensemen and forwards attack the puck carriers and also how quickly they move the puck. Overall I would say they are a step, maybe a step and 1/2 quicker.

Yes. They are great. Went to several Florida Everblades games over the years when visiting my brother in Naples....Nice arena....if the dominos ever start flipping and college hockey starts adding teams look for Florida Gulf Coast University to take a look at it....yes the same school that made a splash in NCAA basketball this season....they have fielded 2 club teams for years with quite a bit of success.

I have been to quite a few ECHL games over the last 7 or 8 years and I would have to agree. While some of the name hockey schools like UND, U of M, BC, Michigan, etc. might have a line or 2 with more top end talent than the top lines in the ECHL, it is made up for in maturity and the 3rd and 4th lines in the ECHL are going to feature a lot crisper passing and quicker decision making and the D-men is in my opinion where it really seperates with the consistency of accurate breakout passes. I think Mario is benefitting from being on the ice with players who are more mature and developed fundamentally and Mario isn't afraid to stick his nose in the tough areas.

But, but, but I said "if" and even used "hypothetically".

So if hypothetically, I say that many of the things you post are moronic, stupid, idiotic, unintelligent, or ignorant but don't directly call you an unintelligent, ignorant, stupid, idiotic moron we are good? Got it. Love the passive aggressiveness.

Yeah you can't judge an entire group of people based upon the actions of a few....Unfortunately with Muslims it is the few rotten 112 million that spoil if for the rest.

If it turns out that the person or people responsible for this are anti-government or can somehow be associated in anyway to the right, and by associated to the right I mean that they can prove that the person may have listened to Rush Limbaugh once for 12 minutes, then this story will be in the daily news cycle until the 2014 elections and everyone who doesn't fall in line with the left leaning group think will be associated with it by the media.......on the other hand if it is a left leaning nutjob group like occupy wall street or some other anti-business group or if it turns out to be muslim related then we will be told that this is just one person responsible for this and no one else associated with him/her can reasonably be held accountable.....that's how it works.

Parentau and Serratore will both turn 24 this summer. Debus was 25 when he played for the Gophers. Would have been 26 if he stuck around for a senior season.

Why can I only like this one time?

Yep. Been going on for a few billion years.

And the Yale fans were chanting "Harvard Sucks"...

Hopefully he was offered the opportunity to walk-on.

Unless Maine didn't want to pony up the $$ that DU will for Montgomery?

He would be a junior and be able to play right away since he is coming from a junior college.

Was Clark Kellogg doing the interview?

Well....their point guard(FGCU) can be very very good at times and he can also be very bad at times which is why I didn't say they would win 10 of 10.....he is capable of the 14-15 point 10-12 assist and 1-2 turnover games like he posted in their first 2 NCAA games but he is also capable of the 0-8, 3-4 assist, 8 turnover nights as well.

Incorrect. I saw UND live 3 or 4 times this year and online another 9-10 times and I saw FGCU live a couple times(my brother has season tickets) and on TV once before the NCAA tourney, and watched SDSU and NDSU a few times, and while the conference that FGCU and Mercer play in is not as good as the Summit or Big Sky top to bottom, when you put the eye test to work after watching these teams play, FGCU is quite a bit better than UND, NDSU, and the Jacks....I would say FGCU beats any of them 8 of 10 and 5 or 6 would be of the blowout variety.

I think once you start taking college classes your 10 semester clock starts ticking.

Sorry. Smileys wouldn't work. I was being sarcastic

No golatenders in Baseball or Football and it is illegal in Basketball?

Kristo-Knight-Rocco Parks-Rowney-Cagguila Rodwell-Pattyn-St. Clair Odonnel-MacMillan-Gaarder Play the 4th line sparingly. Mac Millan gets power play time and as the game goes along and the benches get shorter move him up to a wing with Rowney's line and move Drake into Rodwells spot on Pattyn's line. At the end of the game last night I was uncomfortable everytime I saw Gleason or Mark Mac on the ice.
