To Big A HG's point, the Caulfield situation never should have been a situation.   Have talent in the pipeline where you tell Judd at the end of the year best of luck at the next level.  We shouldn't be in a situation where we need to bring anyone back for a 5th year.  How many 5th years did MN and UM have this season.  

It's not so easy to have a pipeline where everyone can be deferred if needed.  If guys are good enough to come in, they may leave if there's no room.  As for MI and MN, their devoid of fifth-year player rosters were beaten by a team with seven.  There's no one right way to win.  

One thing I haven't seen brought up is the possibility this is part of a plan.  If you're in a four-year window where older players from any team may be available to you, should you leave room to add guys that you may think can make the team better?  I haven't seen much of Berg besides the games at the end of the year, but he may have more of an impact than all but a handful of freshmen around the country.  Or a few handfuls. 

I know the comeback: how's the plan working?  Not well last year, check back in a year.

I just fundamentally disagree that the program is broken at all.  I really like last year's freshmen, and the pipeline looks like one that is going to produce some very exciting teams over the next few years.

I remember watching Johannes back at Eden Prairie and I really liked him then. Obviously really struggled in juniors for a while and then really in college before last year. Can't remember who he was originally committed to maybe CC? He moves pretty decent for his size and will definitely play with an edge.

Sweet little move on the breakaway to score a goal against UMN this year.

LaCombe from UMN signs, as expected:

I was under the impression they sold out every game this year?!?

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

We will probably see that move in the shootout this year

That is a sellout...for Mariucci.

He looks like Bobby Clark with those missing chiclets

I was thinking Keith Magnuson but Clark is the right choice.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t do this kind of thing while at UND. Terrible look.

Yeah none of that.

First things first: Was it a clean hit?

BU jr goalie Commesso and Michigan jr goalie Portillo both signed today.

Game misconduct contact to the head.

Yeah, it’s one thing to get kicked out, it’s another to taunt the crowd when the player is obviously in severe distress.  Terrible look is right.  They better have had a talk with him about penalties and decorum.

^ Yep, exactly this.

Hey @cberkas, you happen to attend this game and remember this hit?

I think he was kicked out of the first game too. The hit happened on the ASU end. I think missed this game and watched it on PAC-12. If I remember right Lindenwood was winning this game. 

On thing ASU doesn't show on their broadcasts is replays of injuries.  

Also they use B1G refs this last season and not CCHA refs

What makes him a good player? 9 points in 44 games in the USHL, 32 points in 55 games in the NAHL,9 points in 29 games at AIC and then a good season 29 points in 28 games at Lindenwood (with 87 PIM). He does fill a need but the numbers don't scream good player.

Watching him play. It's really that easy.

Guys like Jamernik and Steph Pattyn’s numbers don't scream good players either

if Johannes is Judd’s replacement, I love it.   
Nothing personal against Caulfield, but he was the embodiment of this year’s squad….  inconsistent and always left you wanting more.    

Johannes looks to be a no-nonsense, big, mean, intense and physical player who can add some points here and there.  Hopefully with his age and experience he can add some leadership too; something this years team was sorely lacking as well.
