Johnny Five

what a series that was and Game 7 was unbelievable.

Haha...he has some amazing one liners that's for sure. I think he'd be excellent on PSP or even state tournament coverage. He's got a comment for everything.

First off...holy sh*t UNDs back end is insane on paper. If you're dialed in on this take I personally hope it's MN. Tarin Smith's d partner and there's still some wiggle room for Larson on D and F.

OK the hot rumor around Bismarck is that Troy Olson has let go of the reigns of the CHS Patriots. It's been a hell of a run for Ole.

It is odd there has been no press around this, but it's safe to say you can run with it, it's been confirmed.

Good breakdown by Jack Jablonski here on the roster going into the off-season: I'd keep McCarron and Foligno if they're dirt cheap. It's time for Zucc to be done, honestly. Who the hell else would we want to keep? The UFA on Center is embarrassing. I think Boone Jenner is the best option and he's another 2-3 center. I have no clue how they'll get the 1C they need, plus build a deeper D core. Everyone after 7 and 43 on the back end was brutal. Love EK's game but he and Brodin lose so many games maybe it's time to get 'em out of here...Billy G has some cookin' to do this off-season. https://x.com/Jabs_13/status/2054779123760025671?s=20

The goaltending tandem is also a pickle. No chance you can trade Jasper...and Gus turned into an untradable bitch basically at the end of the season. If they can unload him and his salary in any manner possible it's a win.

John Hynes got dealt a bad card with those 2 injuries. That being said, he should be gassed just for the final 5 minutes of that game. Rolls out the same GD line for the tying goal. I've never liked Middleton, but holy balls was he awful this playoffs and it might be time for Spurgeon to consider retirement. They need depth down the middle and a whole new back end. But first....see ya Hynes.

And you didn't even bring up Bogosian...time for him to submit his retirement papers. Well out of his league.

Brutal effort by the Wild.

Yeah the only non counters from Fargo, GF and WF will probably be in the Bismarck-Mandan area and that might be pushing it.

Sounds like each WDA team is scheduled for a home and home, then 1 game against and EDC for league play. 6 point games may be used, at least to some degree. I imagine the better East teams won't be in a hurry to schedule extra games out west when they can get Section 8 teams, Fergus, Alexandria, etc on the schedule.

Grand Forks, Fargo North/South, Davies, WF, DL and Jamestown?

AAA hockey is not for development. It's strictly for fun. Same as Team ND hockey. None of it is good for actual development. As long as you know that, you're free to decide what you want your kid to experience. Camps are fine, IMO, depending on what you're doing. It obviously depends on what city you are closest too and who is running the camp. Sometimes it's best to just put the gear down for a few months.

Yeah that's a good goal. Whitney spazzing out on twitter is awesome haha.
