If they win easily Friday night I'd like to see Tomek get the net Saturday. Highly unlikely, but I would still like to see it. Kid's good.

Looks like their RPI is in the 50's....no losses.

I don't agree with that st all. Wilkie is in a funk right now. He didn't play bad this weekend though. I saw him working pretty hard.

Yup, Olson not a good skater at all. Bowen is a better fit in the bigger ice.

Oh definitely. His story is the outlier though.

Boys 5-3

I know Parrish was all over Und.

He's got a banged up wrist....since before the goph series.

Dell is getting starts.....as a back up. Either way great for him. Dell is an interesting case. He was pretty much forced out with Zane and Saunders coming in. After starting for two years he wasn't promised anything for his senior year. He panicked, left, and didn't even get an ahl deal. Didn't he start in the (now defunct) central league prior to playing in E. Which makes his rise all the more interesting.

In regards to Olson, the big ice doesn't work with his skill set. Looks like berry has been ready our posts regarding switching the lines up

5-3 Sioux

I believe R. Potulny got something back in the day (best youth hockey player I've ever seen....to this day).

In some cases or Und wasn't overly interested in him. What's he done?

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2016/11/16_inside_north_dakotas_recent.php Pretty good article, I like a lot of the statistical analysis.

I like simo too. 55 in 55 his one year in the ushl. His skating holds him back but clearly having an off year.

Wasn't Murphy only here for two years? These guy's were/are sophomores. College hockey is tough....some guys figure it out later. I thought Murphy leaving was a terrible decision on his part. He panicked. I would take Murphy and his 4 pts this year and put him on our 3rd line. I mean simo has 0 through 11 games.

Looks like it takes him awhile to get acclimated. The jump from year 1 to year 2 in the ushl was dramatic.

Thats why id be curious to see him with gersich and Jost. Both those two go so hard, play D, and create space.

Look around at some other teams, there's freshmen D on other teams too. A top 4 that includes T Poolman, Ausmus, Wolanin, and Shaw is pretty dang solid if you ask me. Letting freshman play as a 5-6 dman is a best case scenario. Imagine if (when) we lose T poolman, Ausmus, and Wolanin. That's thin considering Bast has played a handful of games over the past year and a half and Evers seems to be just a middle of the road college prospect at this point.

I see....i do like those lines. I'd worry a bit about that third (unless Wilkie starts playing up to his potential).

I know....if he doesn't produce with Gersich and Jost I'm at a loss. What I was thinking was that playing with these two would open him up.

however everyone would be on their off hands all or nothing huh

would be interesting to see Boeser on the left side. Wilkie is definitely not a C. I would put Yon over Bowen as well. Boeser - Gardner - Pogo Gersich - Jost - Wilkie JJ - Hoff - Olson Yon - Simo - Smith (bowen could fit in on the third or 4th)

Curious if Bo Hanson (Muskegan) is on Berry's radar. I believe he's an overage however he's putting up nice points in the USHL right now. Our D is going to be pretty thin next year....i would think Berry would be after this guy.

They lost a lot but they still have a lot. Denver and MN lost a ton of players too. This team needs to find its identity and figure out how to win. I think there needs to be some line shuffling this week.
