Good for him.

I'm starting to think both Matej and Wilkie are bouncing. If so, this team stays young. Just once I would like a kid that struggles year 1 and 2 to stay through their senior year. I get that their NHL team's want playing time (so do they), so I guess that makes sense from that standpoint. Hopefully not true (although Matej has been somewhat shafted so his leaving makes more sense to me).

But this is what everyone's complaining about....kids getting stuck in juniors because there's no where to go. If kids are good enough to play juniors (and mature enough to leave home) they should attempt it, unless they really don't want to. Boeser left after his junior year.

I thought the hit was clean. Arm followed through high (which is why they called it...or because it was too hard I guess) but there was no head contact. Shoulder to shoulder.

Oh no I didnt. He easily could have been cut due to his off the ice actions, which is what I heard.

Who did you think I was talking about? Not stech

Why would you want a big tax refund? Tax planning issue?

Haha....Coyle is a good player.....and huge.

We'll see. I have $40 on the dogs.

UMD and Denver, what a matchup. I'm taking UMD. Denver could be scary if their boys all stay.

You know I dont really know. I've heard (rumor only) that school was an issue as was partying. But only a rumor.

You got lucky. Those other two are negative nellys

Very true, however I think he'll cut the lineup this year. He's another year older and the speed of the game should slow down for him a bit. This isn't a Murphy situation. Murphy's effort level was never there and he had 1 pt in 16 games his soph year (and I actually thought he should have came back his junior year). Wilkie has shown talent it's just super inconsistent. He had 10 pts in 30 games last year (and should have had more, a lot of bad luck). That was more pts per game than some of the other regulars.

Hopefully not, we'll need all the experience we have. Upperclassmen are a plus, even if they don't have a large role.

Pretty blown away dennis cholowski signed tonight. Obviously talented as he's a first rounder but he was pretty raw to me. Thought he (at the very least) needed another year at scsu. That's a big blow for the huskies.

That is great news. I really like the look of next year's squad. Judging by the difficulty I had attempting to draw up a lineup chart, that is positive news.

Ok thanks. It's pretty rare for a player to get drafted in their last year of eligibility but he may have a shot. Especially as a 6th-7th round flyer.

Haha that's a good one. Those Canadian junior leagues can be tough to figure out. Good thing with this kid is that he has a nice combo of skill and grit. anyone know if he still has draft eligibility? Currently he isn't drafted however he's put up great numbers in juniors. It can't be all on his size as others are being drafted shorter.

I actually agree with this. I would be shocked if they didn't fight however.....what solid foundation do they have to stand on. There is little revenue creation whatsoever. In full disclosure I never wanted UND to scrap their WH program and still think it's terrible that it happened however, what other solutions did they have? Did they handle is bad? Sure. But unfortunately I havent heard of a solution to balance the shortfall without cutting these expensive programs.

What fundraiser? I think I know where this is going (and I'm actually LOL). But still, what fundraiser?

Yeah I believe so. I think you have to be under 20 as well (during the first year you play <10 NHL games).

Agreed. I was at that game last night. Didn't notice Jost much. He also had trouble with face offs. Only second game though. He looks really small out there. Edit: After looking at his stats from last night they obviously weren't that bad. Didn't have a TO, his FO% was 36% but that isn't that terrible considering it was his second game.

Good old Nigel Dawes, greatest squirt I ever played against.

I agree with you. You just have to remember that some on this forum have to consistently mock players on the team...someone's getting it no matter what. Its one thing to call out a player for making a bonehead play its another to never let off the entire season. Im just hoping both pogo (and the others that have offers) all stay. I really like the look of next year's team.

There must be something going on here that Bubs doesn't like. More than the lack of goal scoring because his production was greater than both yon and Bowen. I'm guessing it's work ethic.
