This is true for my age group.

That is inherant in Chay's style of play as he jumps up a lot. Overall I was fine with both, however, I expected a lot from Lapointe, not so much Chay.

Ok, I little better than I thought...he was on some very good defensive teams though. I think what we were trying to say was he was a very offense minded defensemen in the USHL and he never quite hit that type of stride in college...some don't. Can't quite figure all that mess out but did Chay have a lot more points? Either way Chay's +/- was still good. Go back and check out Finley's +/-.

Haha...I wasn't the only one getting them. Good thing we weren't in MN...I'm guessing we would barely field a team.

Nice effort on that one....did it make you laugh?

Because he didn't pan out.

Definitely agree here though.

I received 2 minors in 10 days when I first showed up to school. I was not drunk on either occurrence simply at a party meeting people....socializing. I believe some of you "old-timers" don't realize they don't let you walk away anymore if you're not visibly drunk...they write you a citation no questions asked (especially in GF). I would like to think I turned out ok, I'm successful. If you looked at my background you would see more than a couple minors....but I never had any sort of problem, I was never drunk anytime I was written a citation. I'm not saying this is the circumstance here....just pointing out a fact to some old timers. Look back at some of the late 90's early 2000's RR hockey teams....we were littered with minors. No one was ever booted from the team.

I would first look at the crimes themselves....then I would say no more than 2.

Haha....I was at Blarney's with those Goph players a year before they were caught.

I'm not apologizing for anyone either...however, you have to look at the crime itself. I thought when these kids were caught earlier in the year...all passed out and had to be taken to the hospital, that was a big deal. A simple minor is really nothing other than an explanation to a future employer. I have had my fair share of minors and they were all a joke. If you are a responsible person and can handle yourself appropriately they are simply bad luck instances. If you're the drunkest guy at the party and constantly making a fool of yourself that is a whole separate issue.

It goes on but the kids blend in....they don't in GF.

Everyone one of the friends I have (all GF guys) at one point in time got a minor...or two...or three.

I got 3 minors straight off bad luck. One I was taking the first sip of beer. When you are in college you go to parties...and sometimes parties get busted.

This can't be on Hak unless you expect him to boot these guys. They are only minors....not DUI's. But you are correct, if they get caught again they are plain stupid and should be booted.

All the hype? He's a solid defender that won an award. The coaches voted him in so they must have seen something. There's more to playing D than simply putting up points. And the guys you mentioned probably would have won the award if there was one....this is the first year of the awards existence I believe.

Have u seen him play? I would say he is 5'10 max...and like 160. I'm 5'10 and I was never considered big. I was actually talking about his linemates. Kloos does most of the feeding on that line.

Funny I just read that...one thing to note, Tambellini is actually 6'2 1/4'' and only 169 lbs....that is about as frail as a kid gets being that tall. I bet I was 169 lbs as a freshman or sophomore....in high school. He's going to be here for a few years beefing up.

Sure would

Other guys are putting up pts. I'm sure there are growing pains but Hanowski already has a goal.

I saw that....not good.

I wish I would have made that in the last two years.

I'm fine with that. His numbers are inflated due to the line he plays on (yes I know the others are gopher recruits as well) but I think both Kloos and Tammaratta are the one's driving his production. They are all tiny though.

Correct, however, I do wish he would have came here for a year. Either way, I heard from a reliable source (kid who played with him on the NTDP) who noted Miller was telling everyone at camp that he would decommit if he was given a good deal ($$$). Either way, the kid was a one and done player.

Brock was much younger.....and less physically mature than Danny. Once Brock matured physically (which he still can do) everyone knows what type of player he will be. He was a first rounder. I know what kind of player Danny can be, I also know that at 24-26 years of age you are given a very short leash, sometimes one shot, to prove what kind of player you are. Look at Potulny....he was given 1-2 shots and no matter what he will most likely never get another shot...even though he is a great offensive player (one of the best in the AHL).
