The GF schools would be very competitive in class A in MN. They would be middle of the pack most years in AA. Obviously some years they could give the Minny powers in AA a run... I'd compare the ND State tourney to most AA sectionals in MN

I was thinking CHL

Undrafted 4 year studs like Duncan and Cagguila are the secret to program success... and you always need excellent goaltending blue chippers need to come in and accentuate those guys- that's where you win Natty's

No such thing as a bad pass to a good player-

Yep- I don't think there has been much doubt about his NHL window having passed. He had a top 6 winger game, unfortunately that means 60 NHL jobs on his natural wing...give another 15 jobs if someone is willing to play the right player on his off-wing...75 jobs...in his prime, he might've been the 100th or so best...so...no job.

Not to be a Tambellini apologist, but he does play on the worst team in the A

And how could I forget- one of the better players on our team, Paul Murphy, should've played for Central as well- they were flat out stacked on the north side of town then

Scoring1. Role: score 2 goals, give up less than 2. scoring2. Role: score 1 goal, give up less than 1. 3. Role: spend 3/4 of shift in offensive zone. Play even hockey. Make them skate hard. 4. Role: leave it all on the ice. Hit everything. Play even hockey. special teams- score a goal, don't allow a shorty or PPg against.

I never notice him out there- probably a good thing for a D. Did he play Saturday? Who sits for him? Johnson? Wolanin is too dangerous offensively on pp to sit

Agree- that was playoff hockey played well- needed a bounce

They are playing tight right now- thinking too much instead of playing. A little luck and confidence and this team can pull out. Everyone thinks about the tv timeouts helping the forwards. For us this year it will be a boon to the D. We could get Pooly out there for almost 30 minutes with the right breaks. if Yon is good to go, I put him on the line with Gardner and Pogo. the bottom 6 I make a threat line and a true checking line for situations- Jost with Boeser and Gersich Gardner with Pogo and Yon Bowen Hoff and JJ Olson Smith and Gornall Wilkie and Simo draw pine Tucker and Gage Shaw and Colton Wolanin and Johnson Wolanin still gets pp time.

I'm in Hawaii this week- would be down for something like that sometime though

Naw, I would've been 1 then- this is the one with Chad Skarperud and Cory St Germain in the pipes for Central that I'm thinking of

Back to that 93-94 Central team- Ruczi went to the USHL too- would've made Central unbeatable had he stayed

I think it was 1990, but can't remember exactly, the epic RR vs Central that went many OTs...Chad Skarperud was sick...guy could've played D1 hockey, but chose golf.

That was my senior year at RR- Central was sick- they were sick fromPeeWee on up. Matt Giedt beat us and then beat Central on Saturday night. Best team did not win that year.

I am just sick thinking about next year- no Jost (why would he stay), no Boeser (Vancouver is going to want him developing with them or in their system), no Pogo (he'll be in the AHL), no Pooly (he could be in the Peg), Gage (likely in the Coast)...this could get ugly.

in the braketology with incomplete info...we are firmly on the bubble.

Bad turnover to a good player in our zone

Our bottom 6 have the same number of career goals as Pogo...combined... our top line (2 sophs and a Frosh) have more combined goals than the other 9 forwards...combined...

Thanks Randy, let me get some mix and some ice, and we can have Sunnyvale all to ourselves -Julien

People...Western is for real. We didn't get beat by La Cordon Bleu or the Little Sisters of the Poor. They've beaten DU, UMD, and UND this season. Andy Murray is an excellent coach, and he plays the game old school. Last night was a very good, playoff style hockey game. Not too different than our Frozen Four win over DU last year. A late goal off a great effort and an empty netter. WMU reminds me of some of the UND teams from back in the day; smashmouth and sizzle.

This millenia Natty's; BC has won as manny natty's as all Big 10 teams combined Big10: 4 (Goldy 2, Bucky 1, Sparty 1) NCHC: 5 (DU 2, UND 2, Dawgs 1) Hockey East: 6 (BC 4, BU 1, Friars 1) ECAC: 2 (Yale, Union)

Remember, 4 guys from last year's team are currently on NHL rosters...been a long time since that happened all at once...a dpairing and a line. Can't reload that very quickly

i should've said that your point is taken. We have no consistent scoring.
