Yup

Business suits

No way...not tonight. Jost is shining.

Well we may need an excuse. ill change my prediction. 4-3 good guys

No boeser, not good timing

5-2 good guys

Our goals against isn't that bad.

Bingo. Last year teams could barely keep the puck in our end. 95%+ of the shots were from the perimeter. If you want to see good numbers go check out Bitzer's. I knew he was good...but wow.

Yes he has. He just hasn't had the greatest year. 90 save percentage just isn't getting it done. Here's to him (and the rest of the team) turning it around.

Very very true. But we need his best tonight.

Only if Cam leaves.

Nice get. It's tough to make that US team and they have a nasty schedule. Nice get bubs!

I did the same....that weather was nasty.

Exactly....there are always outliers. However the USHL is getting so good that in many cases the top point producers tend to produce at the college level. Clearly Wilkie has struggled so far however hopefully he puts this past him and continues to stay positive and come back strong for his junior year. You always have the guys that do well in juniors but struggle when they get to college, it's most likely due to foot speed, vision, or strength. However, rarely does someone do nothing in juniors and shine when they get to college (yes, I know what Jonny B. did for SCSU and that was a huge outlier).

I wouldn't go that far. Hoff had similar numbers to Adams. I honestly thought Hoff would be more dangerous this year, next year could be his year. He's not the only one struggling to meet expectations this year. Also, I think Yon will turn out to be a pretty nice scorer in a couple years. Let him figure out the college game a bit. He also needs a good passer on his line. I have no clue what Bowen will turnout to be. He's a phenomenal skater with nice energy. Purely looking at prior statistics, he's not a proven point producer (if you can't score in the BCHL that raises some red flags). However, that could change in his upper-class years with more development.

Hoff has a higher offensive ceiling than Bowen, Smith, and Yon. I would pin Bowen and Smith as third/fourth liners until maybe their seniors seasons. I'm not too sure what Yon will bring. His junior numbers aren't eye popping other than his goal scoring rate. He has an unreal shot. If he can continue to work on his vision/playmaking he could become an offensive threat by the time he's an upperclassman.

Yeah, they have "eyes in the sky". When a player takes head contact or looks off they pull them to the side to analyze. NHL obviously has more resources (funding) for those types of actions but in theory it should work better. I feel that has less to do with diving and more to do with the concussion lawsuits that will start occurring more and more. But it should deter a play to "act" more hurt than they are if they are trying to draw a penalty. Now this would only work for the high end players...lower end players would gladly sit for some time to get their team a PP.

Sure.

That's a touchy subject because sometimes it's more of a bruise....and after a few minutes you start feeling better. The pain is there but it's very short term. You can't punish that.

huh?

Hopefully Bast can convince Jost to hang around for another year.

No, he was staying.

Agree with the tucker comment. I do think he'll play some AHL at some point but not long. Jost needs another college year and so does boeser. Forwards that are "NHL players" while in college absolutely dominate. As I always say, it's not a knock on them whatsoever, college hockey is tough. But another year would suite both of them well from a development standpoint. College teams with multiple NHL ready guys dominate.

Yeah...all those shook me pretty good as well

I could definitely see this scenario happening.
