Just think, there's a distinct possibility we get another year of this line intact! Could you imagine this line as Seniors?

Absolutely have the potential to be dominant.

Jordan Kawaguchi - Collin Adams - Grant Mismash...Kinda limited using their initials unless you want to call them the JAM, KAM, MAK, or MAJ(or) line...

 

 

We can do better than the lazy first/last letter line name. But, let's take a breather and see if it continues through the end of the first half. I'm thinking it'll continue, however

HOWEVER... Dave Starman would love calling them the JAM line

Was texting with a couple of buddies about this on Saturday -- the chemistry these three are developing are showing signs towards being a "named line" in the very near future...

Funny enough, 2 years ago I’m thinking to myself “When Nick Jones graduates, we should move one of these freshmen (Adams, Guch, Mismash)  to center and roll with it”

Hahaha nice.

I was thinking the “Class” line??

If Pinto was on the line, it could be the Coast to Coast line with him being from New York and Kawaguchi from BC.   It almost would apply with Adams from Michigan, but even more so for the coast to coast on the ice.

As long as it’s not the “Coasting” line.

[Reformed Gphr Fan]

I’d go with the “MAK atta[c]k” line

[UNDBIZ]

Big MAK

[stoneySIOUX]

Something simple like the "Guchi Line" because slang these days for all these kids means this line, equating it to "It's gucci" means it's "cool" or "good"

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=it's gucci

6 points tonight from that line? "Yeah, that's all Guchi."

[stoneySIOUX]

Or... "Guchi Gang"... not my flavor of music, but it's big with the kids

Revenge season?   Heard (I mean read) it somewhere, seems appropriate and aimed mostly at Siouxsports...  ferda #allyoudoubtingsumbitches

Don’t care about revenge...just nice to see the boys playing at a high level again.

I was referring to the recurring theme on here, that the program was full of a bunch of duds.  Personally I think they are a very talented group and team chemistry is very important, rock stars like Boeser help immensely but are not the be all end all of a successful season.

& it seems contagious - we have had some very good players but I cannot recall this many on one team & they never seem to let up - I'm Loving Sioux Hockey Again & Great Job Coach's- been awhile since I've said that too

Smith is/was as unheralded as they come, not much expected of him when he arrived on campus. Senden, same thing. Bowen, some have questioned his place on this team, Reiger too. This current team is a culmination of some studs who were expected to produce and some who were not. The entire lineup on the ice both nights all contributed and made plays,  many of which were unnoticed by the common fan. We can question the coaches all we want, but they’re looking quite intelligent today.

Anyone else get the feeling that having Karl Goehring instead of Matt Shaw has been a part of the difference this year?

So, we are winning more and all of a sudden they have more good players than you can remember?  Were you saying the same things last year, because a good many of the players were here last year.

[Siouxman]

I believe the difference is in coaching and the systems being coached.  The style of play this year is entirely different than the past couple of years.

Some of it is that, and some of it is just finishing better and getting a few more breaks.

But many of the new guys are contributing & many of last years guys have stepped up & the combination has been amazing - Sorry never felt this way last year & Ive been a Fan for along time - How about you ?
