  1. We can't get swept from here on out, and we have to sweep a couple series.
  2. He was quoting me...and not bitter. I could care less. Just calling out what I think.
  3. We aren't disagreeing then at all. My comments regarding Tambellini which you refer "not drafted high enough and not talented enough" refer to a player who is choosing a shorter, easier route, quitting from a lot of people's perspectives among other things. Not talented nor drafted highly can still equal NHL with some luck as your anecdotal player exemplifies; certainly a ton of hard work and dedication, no short cuts, finding a role, having a unique package to fill that role, and NEVER QUITTING. Another more Sioux example is absolutely Matt Frattin.
  4. When he used to dip the shoulder to take the dman outside in, then the quick move to the forehand to the upper corner. .. No such thing as gap control against guys who are that good one on one with the puck.
  5. They call it the Mississippi Ocean down here
  6. Made a swedish kid named Forsberg a household name though...
  7. not necessarily- but it should more often than not, as RPI will go up for those of us who play the winner only and down for those who play the loser only. Winning %, opponents' winning %, oppenents' opponents' %
  8. Mankato losing two was best case for us A UMD win tonight is also big for us
  9. Biggest game of the year thus far...a sweep of Denver at Magness will go a long way in the PWR and will put us in the driver's seat to win the first NCHC conference title. Although the big prize for that might be a first round date with Miami...
  10. Gophers sure look for real...
  11. Have to post this regarding the earlier academic conversation. The U of MN is a very interesting distribution of academic achievement. It has absolute top tier programs in CSE and CSOM- chemical engineering, certain business subsets among others. At the same time, it is also a public school in a very liberal state that is focused on providing access to higher ed for students otherwise unlikely to go to college.
  12. I used to know the PWR inside and out...this new model is very different
  13. Sweep 2 of these 4: Duluth, Miami, Western, UNO (only UMD is on the road) Miami and UMD are not playing good hockey right now. Split with DU, SCSU and 2 of the 4 above That's 8 wins If we can't do that, I would argue that we don't deserve to be in the tourney
  14. He isn't my moniker on this site for nothing...love that guy
  15. He must be fast as all get out. He looks like the needle and the haystack or miracle player. I don't see it with Tambellini. That guy also put in 4 years in college and has an ivy league education.
  16. This is perhaps the best example of an incredibly skilled player putting team first and buying into the system. That's why Stevie is who he is, does what he does now, has the rings, is a first ballot HOFer, and never buys his own drink in motor city. I love that our own Jonny Toews emulates so much of that Stevie Y mentality.
  17. Tambellini will never see the ice in the NHL. He is straight up NOT TALENTED ENOUGH, NOR DRAFTED HIGH ENOUGH. Sorry kid, facts are stubborn things. From the W to the A to Europe... After his monstrous first game, he has racked up a whopping 1G and 1A and played minus 1 hockey over the subsequent 4 games.
  18. I was wondering what happened. He just tossed a broken stick and it ended up in the stands?
  19. Really hope we can pull it together, maybe we can be Yale from last year, but i'm not holding my breath. I cant really put my finger on why we cant generate more offense...
  20. Dillon is a solid dman, but nobody without green tinted glasses really thinks he is Hobey material...flame away, but I have more intellectual integrity than homerism
  21. Perhaps Tambellini's leaving can be the rally cry that this team needs...could be great locker room fodder...
  22. Big need for wins...we absolutely can not lose, and I'd love for CC to steal one. The Saturday night ties vs Vermont and BU really hurt right now too
  23. A scholarship should have NOTHING to do with family financial means. I have very strong opinions on that.
  24. The AHL...if Florida is concerned about their investment. Again, he still has a lot to prove at this level...it is all about FL Director of Player Development's position on him.
  25. So, with Tambellini leaving early, I think we just opened a pathway to get ice time for a freshman Gersich next year if he can get his schooling done. The wildcard for next year will be if Grimaldi stays. I don't think he's proven he can dominate at this level, so the issue is going to be whether or not Fl is concerned with his development. I am optimistic about next year's team...
