Yes, that is what they're doing, however having one top threat (Rocco - Knight - Kristo) would create scoring oppurtunities every time they hit the ice. More and more NHL teams are loading their top lines. UNDs third line should be a high energy line; line the other team doesn't want to see out their because of how hard they are going and hitting.

Nice, wish I could, I have a rule of only one league per year. Good luck.

Totally agree Rocco should be up top...MItch looks more than one step behind on that line. Regarding Pattyn, he definitely isn't as skilled as the others and should be playing on the 4th line, however, I don't know who would play center? From what I have seen (and due to his size) Rocco will, and should, be a wing. It is nice to have a center's skill set in case they need a center or if one of their men is kicked out of the circle. He is too small to play center.

Frattin was called up by the Leafs today....I'm glad he deserves it.

No, probably not. You never know though, kids "figure it out" at different times. Doing well in ND high school hockey means nothing when it comes to making the jump to the NCAA ranks. He'll play in the USHL, most likely, to see how he matures.

Haha

Agreed, Mitch wasn't getting any playing time there anyway.

Yeah I get that....I have Greaser buddies that are goof fans....but I don't see them posting on here too often.

Still odd. I have gopher buddies But they would be hanging all around Vikings forums instead of Packers forums...there are only so many hours in a day.

I still think it's odd you hang out on your rivals forum.

Luke Johnson just got in a fight, didn't see if he lost or not but the guy he's fighting is much bigger.

I actually wouldn't risk $10....that's a 12 pack for Friday's game. Sioux aren't going to get swept (knock on wood). Besides the last 10 minutes of Saturday's game, I thought we looked fine. The gophers played there best hockey on both Friday and Saturday night (strong goaltending, capitalizing on a high % of oppurtunities, etc.). We're making our push here on out. Our team is very good.

I'm a UND fan and I agree with that post. He reminds me a lot of David Backes (although Backes didn't have the talent surrounding him). If anyone can remember, Backes had some nice games against UND also.

Scram

I also don't agree why so many goof fans hang around here....I hear some of you guys mention some GPL site...why don't they stay on that site. What is GPL?

Budish is slightly shy of a point per game (.92 PPG)....that's not terrible. To play devil's advocate, how many Sioux players average a point per game. I know you're all die hard Sioux fans, but please, don't have these Goofer trolls hanging around this forum think you're an idiot too.

I wouldn't bet the farm on 8-10 years....but I also believe he makes it to the Show, as previosly mentioned. He's 6'2 225+ with decent hands and a hard shot.....that's pretty much an NHL 3rd/4th liner.

Yeah I agree, Budish is a very good player. I bet he sees some NHL time with how big he is, not top 6 but he'll be a decent 3rd or 4th liner.

Me too.

We just had a Hobey not too long ago. Frattin could have gotten one but I really don't think one other player since Duncan should have received it.

Scram.

We got both of these games this weekend!

Dead serious. He was the most dominant player in the ice. As soon as they get knocked out of the NCAAs he will join FLA's top 6/9, he will also never play an AHL game, unless FLA is out of it this year by the time the gophs season is over. He will get a rookie max contract as well. Remember all this...if I'm wrong u can let me know come March....u seem to be the expert.

All at home....their schedule is cake.

1. I'm not sure Gothberg played his best game.....but I do see him as a better option than Saunders. I felt the Gophers played much better on Saturday than Friday, they simply didn't get as lucky (or should I say UND didn't get as unlucky). 2. I felt Rowney played a lot better this past weekend, however, he has still been pretty non-existent all season. We need him to hit the stat sheet. 3. I don't even have he energy to respond to this one...you are correct though. That Saturday game still has me so upset. All you people were mad at the Friday effort but I felt they played ok, they simply got so unlucky. The Saturday game was so much worse. They played so good for 50 minutes then had a full blown melt down. Our defense is SO overrated. Everyone of our dman played terrible except Simpson. Forbert needs to figure it out. I almost wanted to jump out there for him. 4. Not sure about this.....they barely gave up any odd man rushes. (Although the Goofs seemed to capitalized on everyone). 5. Yes, he is by far and away the best college hockey player in the country....now one can argue that. He is an NHL player playing college hockey. But he can be contained (ex. Saturday night). You can't stop him but you can contain him. FYI, their defense was awesome...I lost count on their blocked shots early each game.
