Blackheart, all I can say is thank you. I remember watching this game on WDAZ as a young chap, at least a lot younger than a lot on here anyway. I actually emailed Pat Sweeney in 2010 asking whether WDAZ would sell a copy of that game. He surprisingly responded but cited NCAA and UND copyrights. But this was some of the best hockey I’ve seen in a long time. As it happens I stumbled across this today which happens to be my older brother’s birthday. He was a senior at UND that year and was at the game. I sent him the link saying it was my gift to him, and I don’t think he could have asked for anything more.

Open to any location as I know three together is tough to find.

I'm looking for three tickets (tough number, I know) for next weekend's Saturday night game vs. St. Cloud if anyone has any they're trying to dump. Sorry for jamming up this week's match up thread, but I can't find any other thread that makes sense and I'm trying to get this out more than a week in advance. If there's an actual ticket exchange thread, please let me know.

Boeser's Season in Perspective I decided to compare Boeser's freshman campaign to past seasons and put it in historical perspective. I had heard a lot this season about where he ranked among Sioux freshman all time, but I couldn't recall anyone lining him up against all college hockey freshmen. I figured that the 60-point threshold was one very few college freshmen ever cross. At the same time, since he's confirmed his return for a second year, I was curious how those freshmen fared in their sophomore seasons. Now the following only considers seasons back to 1999-2000. If anyone knows of a reliable resource for national statistics prior to that season, please let me know. However, I think this time frame is a better comparison than, say, going back another ten years considering the change in scoring environments from the 1980s and early 1990s to the previous 20 years or so. And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe per game scoring has more or less declined about every season since (I know I've seen a few stats on this in the past, but it's incredibly difficult to locate). With that said, I think the following makes Boeser's past year that much more impressive. So without further ado... Freshmen with 60+ points since '99-'00 Player Year G A P PPG Sophomore Season Kyle Connor, UMich 15-16 35 36 71 1.87 NA - early departure Jack Eichel, BU 14-15 26 45 71 1.78 NA - early departure Thomas Vanek, UM 02-03 31 31 62 1.38 26-25-51 Zach Parise, UND 02-03 26 35 61 1.56 23-32-55 Brock Boeser, UND 15-16 27 33 60 1.43 ?????? And that's it. In the last 17 seasons, only five freshmen have reached the 60-point mark. Interesting that two players, Vanek and Parise, reached it in '02-'03, then it took 12 seasons before another freshman hit that mark. Now three have achieved it within the last two seasons. As far as the the follow up seasons, there's certainly not much to go on here as only two of four previous players returned. Interestingly enough neither Vanek or Parise were able to build on their freshmen breakouts, but of course both still had very good years. So with that how about some predictions for Boeser's sophomore year? I think it will largely depend on whether Schmaltz returns, but I also have to think that teams will be gunning to shut him down, especially within the NCHC. I'll say with Schmaltz he goes 30-35-65. Without him I'll go with 24-28-52.

You never know but my thought is incoming freshman Tyson Jost. Highest rated incoming player since...Toews?

Boom. We're a Nick Schmaltz return from the best line in college hockey.

I don't see Cam going anywhere. I understand he's older, but teams aren't tripping over themselves for undrafted goalies. And just so I know, what's the appropriate forum topic in which to speculate on our own guys? This one? The 16-17 season forum? I always thought this one was more for confirmed signings.

Re: Stecher My prediction is he's gone. He's just won a championship, and if the Canucks are pursuing him as hard as people have indicated, I don't think he passes that up.

Odd that the writer doesn't quote him. What's the context? What did Boeser actually say? Seems slightly important.

Yes, Thursday. A day ahead already. Someone just posted five LL seats for 60 per for Saturday. Unsure if they'd be willing to break them up. Good luck.

There are several listings on Grand Forks Craigslist, otherwise you could contact the ticket office tomorrow to see if any were released.

Eichel-boner. Hahaha. Overall I like Bucci. He does a great job promoting college hockey (or cawlidge hawkey as he says), and he at least brings enthusiasm to his calls. Now on the other hand, I agree, he was practically cheering for BU at times during the broadcast and constantly drooling over Eichel on Twitter and during his in studio visit leading up to the game.

That's what you got out of that? You sure know what's best for the players and coaches. Can you please apply the next time there's an AD opening. You have my support.

I thought he was a junior but you're right. He was also 23 after his sophomore season, where as Stecher just turned 21. I just think Stecher has so much he can improve he was good this year, but his season wasn't off the charts.
