I don't believe you are correct.

Ok...you made my point. That record is average in terms of the talent (on paper). Can't always win them all but if I was betting I would take the goofs over AA any day. Lets get real.

Agreed....I guarentee the coaches told him he could have some strong competition. Because Dell was an average goalie at best... he had a great team in front of him though. I don't dislike Dell at all, however I simply think UND had better options going into this season.

That "freshie" was already better than him last year.

Looks like Frattin is having issues with his surgically repaired knee.

Haha....their record was mediocre but the talent on that team was 10x that of Alaska's. The goofs were simply dysfuncional....any odds maker has the goofs in a landslide.

haha that's what I was thinking.

Yeah this kid is so good....if he puts on some weight he's a one and down player.

In st paul they have a rink with decent ice even though the temp could be up to 45 degrees. I've skated on it when it's warm. Rain is a whole different issue however.

You're right...I don't know what I was thinking. Because I'm not sure if he played Elite last year. Those numbers aren't eye-popping but by no means bad at all. I take back what I previously posted...either way I'll be rooting for him as a fan of all GF raised players.

Potulny and Irmen committed during juniors. You are correct, all those other players played very well during elite/national tournaments. Benson is a junior...and having a great season, but at his age both Potulny and Johnson were averaging a point per game in the USHL on very good teams.

OK now....there is no reason this kid should have went to college in the first place. He would have had one foot out the door the whole season. He logged 4:35 on the PP for the Rangers last night in his first game. Yes, it sucks that he backed out and I was pissed last year too. But after the decent season we had and seeing JT going on to have a good amount of success in the pro game...I'm glad we were his first choice IF he was to go to school instead of Canada.

I didn't read the start of this conversation but I'm guessing they did have a back up plan. And by all accounts, they made it pretty far in the playoffs with a shorthanded team.

I'm shocked that SCSU gave him an offer this early. I like Benson a lot and he has been a beast so far in ND high school, but his stats at MN elite were quite low, I'm guessing UND didn't recruit him too much. We'll see, he could have had a bad fall. I could be wrong but I believe a lot of my (and my brothers) old hockey stuff got shipped to him when he was real young. I wish him good luck and will root for him.

JT Miller was called up today.

I hope Kristo wore thick socks :o) Sorry....couldn't hold back.

Wow I'm glad I'm glad some of you got your scrum fix but seriously check out an NHL game. This, again, is a huge let down in another full blown uninspired game. A tie in a home game is so close to a loss. We're in February and we cannot find a way to win on home ice. This, so far, has been one of the most difficult seasons to watch given the amount of talent on the team. I'm definitely not calling for Hak to lose his job but he has done a terrible job this year. Sorry for being the pessimist but just calling out the obvious.

Lately we give up goals almost immediately after we score.

Frattin just scored again to put the Leafs up 3-2.....so he has 6 pts in 4 games and he plays less than most players on his team. Is it me or is he the most productive player on that team? I believe Carlyle needs to put him in the top 6 and five him some PP time.

Just got tix.

Goon will have that one up tomorrow morning...what a beaut!

Especially since we have an older team and much of last year's team is back. Also, the addition of Rocco, Schmaltz (1st rounder), and Gothberg (5th rounder I believe and had a great Bruins development camp) should have also been a positive. Something is definitely not right, they are turning it on late that's for sure.

Pretty cool. I believe this is basketball correct? My relatives played for Hannah back in the day.

They haven't won the big dance but they have been highly competitive (except for the past 2-3 weeks) and very fun to watch. Just be glad that our home town has a highly competitve team to root for...that we can be proud of. Don't get greedy.
