as15 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Here is my take on lines Tambellini-MacMillan-Parks Caggiula-Grimaldi-Murphy O'Donnell-St.Clair-Johnson Rodwell-Pattyn-Gaarder LaDue-Simpson Schmaltz-Ausmus Mattson-Thompson/Stecher Gothberg Saunders I really like the first line. Any line with Grimaldi on it will score, size and defense are my concerns with that line. I think St.Clair and Johnson are interchangeable on the third line. The fourth line is a great energy line. This group of defenseman has loads of skill, but who is going to throw a check? Quote

My hope is Chyzyk can find a spot as the season moves along because offensively he is way more gifted than St. Claire, Rodwell or Gaarder...especially if OD and Parks don't get it going early in the season.

sioux24/7 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 I know Tambellini is supposed to be good but I don't get why it seems like almost everybody has him inked in on the top line. Quote
as15 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Tambellini has the potential to be the best goal scorer on this team. Might as well put him in a position to succeed right away, give him some confidence, and hopefully he becomes a go to guy down the stretch. Plus, he is 6'4. Quote

yellowknife Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 i say Caggiula OD and Rocco,,, MAC bros and Parks... and the 3 Freshman Johnson Tambellini and Murphy.. General Rodwell and Gaarder and Chyzk St.claire fight for spots Dmen- Simps and Ladue.. . Schmaltz Thompson.. Stecher Mattson.. Aumus and Panz in no particular order Quote
as15 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Skinny as a twig like Nelson, but he also is coming in with two years of junior, which Brock didn't have. I'm not saying Tambellini will ever be as good as Nelson, but I think its pretty safe to say he will be more ready for the college game than Nelson was as a freshman. Quote

as15 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Especially over St.Clair. St.Clair was an every night player last year, as he will be this year as well. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Especially over St.Clair. St.Clair was an every night player last year, as he will be this year as well. Personally I think Colton will have a very productive year plus his energy is unmatched most nights. Quote

This group of defenseman has loads of skill, but who is going to throw a check? I like this...BUT no way Chyzk sits out. Hopefully, he learned enough lessons last year. The team will need his size and scoring ability, especially if OD can't regain his form from freshman year. I think OD will be fighting for a spot plenty of weekends this year. Can't put together a better 4th line than that too. That 4th line could be great! Quote
Wilbur Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I'm not even going to guess what the combos will be. But I think everyone pretty much has the fourth figured out. Would not surprise me to see Rodwell-General-Johnson to start the year and have Gaarder go on the third unit with St. Clair and OD if he can get it figured out. Do not count out the Freshman goaltender seeing time. Funny how those guys that have never been a backup anywhere their entire lives find a way to get some minutes. The kid played way too many games the last few years to be comfortable standing next to the stick boy. Quote
Wilbur Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Well, its officially a game week for our favorite team. Now if AZ would only start the week game thread....cough.... Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm really looking forward to seeing this new class with all of the local kids. Much better class than the previous two. Quote
Sodbuster Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I know the team is practicing now but with limited coaches' input. Anyone out there been watching and has any insight on how things/players have been looking? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Sounds like from media day Hak will roll 12 forwards and all 8 d men. I wonder if each goalie gets a period?? Quote
burd Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm really looking forward to seeing this new class with all of the local kids. Much better class than the previous two. I really like the class that came in '11--this year's juniors, including Rocco. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Interesting stat but all it really means is Clarke was the real version of Gollberg from the mighty ducks. Acted as a human firing squad every fri/sat for a horrible Alabama team @UNDMHockey: According to research by @collegehockey, senior Clarke Saunders ranks fifth among active DI goalies with 2,154 career saves.

AZSIOUX Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 So did Omdahl make the team as a walk on?? Quote
Laker Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 So did Omdahl make the team as a walk on?? I think I read in one of the weekly Wednesday chats that he did not. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Wasn't sure if it was posted here but the November 22nd game @ BU will be on NBCSports Quote
Sodbuster Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Wasn't sure if it was posted here but the November 22nd game @ BU will be on NBCSports First I've heard of this.....great! Quote
Redneksioux Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 First I've heard of this.....great! Very nice! Quote
Sodbuster Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Now if we can just get a game or 2 televised from Omaha and Duluth...........excellent! Quote
