hence my statement about a change of possession during the course of the play. That is the biggest circumstance. If UND had scored on the initial rush or even if we cycled it for awhile maintaining possession it makes sense to review it. However, the change of possession and failure to clear the zone nullified any advantage of an offside entry. The new rule reflects this.

Me too. I'm glad they changed the rule. The circumstances around it: barely offside (like an inch) on a zone entry 20 seconds before the goal, with a change in possession in the course of the play...the inch offside made zero impact to the goal.

Only way that happens is if Cam plays poorly. You're talking about a national champion goalie; its been his net for the past two seasons. No way you rotate now in order to give the new guy some reps. ONLY way is poor play out of Cam and poor team results.

Wolanin and Poolman Peski and Shaw I feel pretty good about that as our top d pairings

He got his undergrad, but he still had eligibility. He could've taken masters classes and developed more. He just never had the skating of an NHL player. I hope he proves me wrong, but...

Now if the Gophers would just join the NCHC...

You also want to protect the freshies early in the season...putting Mishmash with the Gardner and Pogo puts him in a great position for success early. Same goes with pairing Guch with Gersich...get them some points early on.

So many combos in that bottom 6... Adams, Simo, Jones JJ, Hoff, Olson Yon's got some scorer upside in him that I'd like to experiment with too...Smith available as a physical presence and relief as well... We will be able to roll 4 this year

RW after Pogo is totally up for grabs IMO. Jones, Bowen, and Olson will fill the wings, but chemistry and work will determine who plays where. I actually really like Mishmash, Gardner, Pogo as the first line- tough to play against, NHL potential. I want to see Gersich and Guch together maybe Bowen plays with them- they could fly

wait a minute- did Steve Yzerman retire as a player?

Kiefer Bellows leaving BU...sounds like he's headed to Portland in the WHL

so zero hockey east...need other NCHC teams to do the job vs them then.

good league

we were the only team to beat them after January...

7pm central

I do think that the best two teams made it to the final. I think UND, WMU, BU, Harvard, Minny, and Lowell were right behind, any given night... Then Penn State, Ohio State, Union, Cornell, Providence, Notre Dame, Air Force, BC just behind them

Florida won't allow him to ride pine or take limited minutes- they will sign him and send him to the Coast

as i told MM...thats one way to avoid the mimosa treatment...

Deep Sympathy to her family...we all got to claim her, but she was someone's truly special grandmother.

Well that's one way to avoid mimosas!

No- it would be a verbal- which is worth the paper it's written on

To the Coast- he's got a tough road ahead of him

For sure top 6: Pogo, Gersich, Gardner (these guys will play) Incoming recruits with top 6 potential: Mishmash, Guch, Adams (these guys will play minutes until they prove they can't) Earned lineup spots last year: Bowen, Olson, Hoff, JJ, Simo (hard to sit any of these guys) Fighting for ice: Yon, Wilkie, Smith, Gornall, Jones (all bring something to the table, where do they fit)

I want to see Guch with Gersich. Gotta believe that Adams will be a regular...he's a strong producer in the USHL and an NHL draft pick. I also worry that there isn't a true offensive playmaker on that Legion of Doom line. In fact, that is likely our biggest weakness on the team next year- a lack of top-end playmaker, pass-first kinda guy...maybe Guch fits that.
