The players I am worried about are Voltin, Wilkie, Rowe (I believe) and Poganksi. There numbers so far in the USHL are pretty bad. I know that isn't the end all however one has to start wondering what there upside is. They are young but there are other players just as young tearing up the USHL right now going to other schools.

You are exactly right....the only reason he did this is to market himself. If all he has to do is work on is offense why would he go to college where players are bigger/faster/stronger/older. If I was him I would go tear up the WHL to market myself as he is already a very big kid. Again, I can rationalize his thinking I am just pissed our program lost out on this kid.

He has an A rating so he has the chance....6'3'' 190lbs and is only 17 years old. From what I read he needs to work on his offense and playmaking....so maybe the college route isn't the best for him. It's not like he has to get bigger. Still super pissed about this though. I can somewhat rationalize his thinking of why he wanted to go the CHL route rather than college. I guess I had to sleep on it though. It still is bull he decommited 2 months after he committed. Hak will find someone nice to replace him. He has time.

I'm with the others....nothing will surprise me anymore. From now on everyone one of the commits is fair game to leave; I'll worry about the players actually playing on the team from now on. This Gropp departure leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I actually respect the type of players the CHL produces but this is about enough.

Hakstols recruiting hasn't changed the least bit...nor should it. That's his biggest skill...I like Hak a lot because of all the talent he has been able to bring to a small community. However one would think he would have had 1-2 nattys by now. I feel it had been mostly bad luck why they haven't one a chip under him yet. This years team will be a long shot...but hopefully they peak at the end of the year. They have talent.

It's funny Mark only gets points when his bro isn't out there.

I had a perfect feed last night though.....tonight is so bad!!!

Ladue looked bad on that one

Video feed is bad tonight....extremely grainy, last night I had legit HD

Blown away Mitch is still in the lineup....so confused about that. Ladue is not a shocker....USHL defensemen of the year. Ausmus is also a shocker....Mattson should have been the odd man out, however our D lineup is so deep at the moment.

So be it...still got it right.

Tambellini

I was watching the game with a former pro player and he said it was the worst officiating game he's ever witnessed....and he was not a fan of either team (gopher fan).

We'll see, maybe ladue wasn't perfect but you don't play to play with his confidence. But I am confused as to how Keaton gets into the lineup...maybe it is mattson.

Watched the entire game....ladue was not even close to as bad as you're making him sound. He'll suite up every game this year as he should.

I was very impressed by stecher last night....extremely crafty player. I guess at this point I'm worried where Thompson fits in. I know he should, and you can't sit a 3rd rounder all year. He'll be gone by Christmas. But who to sit? Mattson is also a skilled player who should play.

Haha ladue shouldn't sit. Schmaltz for panz. Chyz for Mitch.

I didn't notice OD that much besides the fact he scored a goal. Overall the 2nd and third were alright...Rocco had nice numbers. I feel bad the mark had to play with his bro because he should be playing d1 hockey...still confused by that one. Overall the third period was fun to watch (besides one of the worst reffing performances I have ever witnessed). I'm guessing we get the W tomorrow....our squad is good.

Webcast was great....not perfect, but was almost top notch.

Record pp time off minor penalty

....so Gothbergs our tender going forward correct?

This is getting comical

Haha this is nuts.

College hockey is getting real tough to watch....what % of this game had been special teams?

Great finish by OD but I'm not too sure lukie tried to do that....but they all count!
