The real key is do we get bigger production #'s out of returners Pogo, Wilkie, and the Flying Finn and decent scoring from Fr. Yon and Hoff? I'll save you the suspense, Gersich will not cover the lost production of 25g - 26a that Cag had in his senior year. One of the better senior seasons in UND hockey history as far as production and clutch plays when we needed it. (Looking at you Michigan, Denver, and Quinnipiac games) 4 Quote

Will the 1st line be as dominant as the CBS line? No, but I also don't think it's a completely lopsided argument either. I do think UND's first line can be dominant in its own right. My argument would be although the 1st line won't be the same, I'd take this years version of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th lines over last years. It's early and I'd like to see a couple more series before I'd put any money on it, but the Freshman forwards have been a positive surprise. Especially Hoff, Yon, Bowen. Quote

I like his contributions thus far. Quote

I recall him bouncing between the AHL and NHL quite often. As for Finley, his struggles helped change our recruiting philosophy for defensemen. We switched to more mobile defensemen who could move more easily and contribute on the offensive end. You saw how valuable that was last year. I think Nathan Gerbe and BC had more to do with us starting to recruit mobility, but Fins probably had his share of it. 1 Quote
TinScott Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 All this rehashing of Joe Finley's time here, has reminded me of the time he attended my cousins' wedding. He flat out asked my father if him and my brother were gay together, he of course used the f-word term, he berated the brother of the bride all night, calling him gay and asking him what he was going to do about it, took off his shirt and implied anyone who looked at him was gay, and passed out at a table, alone, to the relief of everyone at the dance. In my mind, Joe Finley, a skating pylon, a worse drunk. Quote

I'd take last year's 2nd line, for now, but three and four, absolutely seem to be more rounded out. Quote

I will restate my post and say simply this: 1st line scoring will be down compared to last year (Caggs production will not be covered) so lines 2, 3 and 4 will have to score more. Quote

From what I've seen I'm not gonna expect to much out of Wilkie other then being a 4th liner IMO. I love the way Hoff is playing, reminds me of a Pattyn with more of a scoring touch Quote

I believe Gerbe had a hat trick by the second period and 4 goals in the game. Terrible game in the terrible stretch of years that BC had our number. Quote
