Exactly....the AHL is much much tougher than college hockey. It is best to be prepared prior to going there.

Jost - Schmaltz - Boeser Pogo - Rhett G. - Olson Gersich - Simo - Wilkie Hoff - JJ - Yon Wolanin - T. Poolman Ausmus - Shaw C. Poolman - C. Johnson (not sure if Bast is coming in)

I bet not. I look at it from the players standpoint not the hockey clubs.

sorry, I disagree.

Exacatly. Although the LJ departure is about as odd as it gets, we're still fine. We have 4 nice dmen and some nice young guys coming in. We had a relatively young team, I assume most the freshman and sophomores will take a step forward. Ladue will be really hard to replace, however our top 4 should still be solid. Berry may be forced to play his top four more than he typically does. No big deal. Our forward group will still be very good.....unless Schmaltz. Then you can forget about all the optimism coming from this post

if pauls going lukes going.

congrats to Ladue, given his age the time is probably now. The LJ signing is a big head scratcher. The only other similar signing to his (that I can think of) is probably Dell. Dell had heavy incoming competition though.

Goofs and Purdue....what a pillow fight haha.

college hockey would be that much deeper. Getting guys who may not be ready for the pros yet. MJ is the ushl on steroids (although the difference is getting smaller every year, from a depth perspective).

looks true...another great commit.

they've lost their entire first line (which did all the damage) and their top two dmen. I still say they struggle in their NC games next year.

jt compher signed. Mich is in trouble next year.

I honestly just guessed....the first time a read it I thought he was leaving. But the more I thought about it I thought it meant he was staying.

they don't care about this tourney that much, they focus on the Ivan hlinka more. CHL playoffs are going on right now.

sounds like wolanin is coming back. Schloss mentioned there were 5 more players that had a decision, he was one nobody was really talking about. He probably had a deal. His twitter message is somewhat cryptic.

twitter my friend

the comparison is to Fargo?

haha

for grand forks. The u20 was a success but this is pretty bad. I doubt we'll ever sniff this again. Some of the worlds best prospects are playing and nobody is there.

the attendance is embarrassing

just a hunch

why did you think I was talking about schmaltz?

judging by the Scott powers article it sounds as though it may be a couple weeks before he decides. He's probably going to do whatever Ladue chooses.

Haha I tried to delete that. Funny stuff. Either way sounds close to 50/50. I heard he's obviously getting heavy pressure but really likes playing for UND. Sometimes when I hear someone constantly bringing up the positives of one particular choice it leads me to believe that is what they want to do. However making that choice does not always happen. We'll see.

Colton is more of a stay at home dman. Will be here for four years. Sounds like a great kid.
