  1. So should McCann and Virtanen but there's nothing they can do about that now.
  2. I bet Benning will be taking a long look at Stecher, Caggiula, and Johnson.
  3. Looks like BC will play Quinnipiac. These two teams haven't played each other this season. Quinnipiac has had a very good season though, so it should be a tough challenge.
  4. Looks like it will be Denver. Ferris State almost pulled off the upset. North Dakota went 2-2-0-1 against Denver this season. Two very evenly matched teams. This will definitely be their toughest challenge yet.
  5. Boeser and UND will face the winner of Denver and Ferris State on April 7th at 5:30PM PST on TSN2.
  6. Demko and BC will face the winner of UMass-Lowell and Quinnipiac on April 7th at 2:00PM PST on TSN2.
  7. Willie is a Weber fan, his opinion is irrelevant. I would be surprised if he coaches the final year of his contract anyways. It seems obvious to me that the type of team Benning values and the one Willie values appears to be quite different.
  8. Lets just be thankful that a 3rd rounder finally looks like they're panning out for us. I don't need to remind people on here about past 3rd rounders like Honzik, Rahimi and Connauton (made it but not with us). The last 3rd rounder to have an impact for us was Edler from the 2004 draft. At least the last the last few drafts look pretty good with Brisebois, Tryamkin, and Cassels (struggling, but should be better next season).
  9. That save was unreal. Love that he never quits on the play.
  10. There could be some serious talent in tomorrow's game if Michigan advances. Boeser/Schmaltz vs Connor/Werenski will be a fun match up. Michigan is a very good team. They only lost two more games than North Dakota this season.
  11. A win tomorrow over Notre Dame/Michigan and Boeser and the Hawks punch their ticket in the Frozen Four.
  12. Their game on Friday is also on TSN2 at 10:00 AM.
  13. Everyone's assuming he got trashed because he was hanging out with Bieber. Do you have any proof of this? Is it that hard to believe that he could have had a good time without getting wasted?

    We could have taken him in the first round and it wouldn't have made a difference apparently.
  15. It comes down to what kind of center you want to build your team around. Nylander is very skilled no doubt, but did we want to build our future core around him as our number 1 center? Sometimes if the center isn't a fit you go for the winger and hope you can pick up a center in a later draft. The Oilers have shown that simply picking the most skilled player isn't always the best option. It's all about choosing the "right" player to fill out your roster. Hopefully we can pick up our number 1 center in the next couple of drafts. In the meantime I'd rather fill out the wings and our D-core.

    Which game was it that the players helmet turned gold when they were on a scoring streak?
  17. Still a bottom 5 D in the league IMO. If we suffer one injury to that D core we're toast again. We need at least one big UFA signing or trade to solidify it.

    Never thought we'd see this guy again. i'm glad he's back in the fold. Watching his highlights this season one thing is apparent, the guy has a Naslund-like wrist shot. If he has improved his strength and battle level he should have a chance.
  19. No need to mention how bad the Leafs are when comparing, we're just as bad if not worse than them this season.
  20. Young players making millions party during their time off? You don't say!
  21. They're still going to be a young team with alot of 22 year old players moving on. It took them a few years to get to the level they're at now.
  22. They're losing alot of other older players too. They won't be nearly the team they were this season. Maybe he likes the idea of being a leader on a younger team though.
  23. Benning will likely be going hard after Ahti Oksanen. He seems like his type of player.
  24. With Stecher, Caggiula, and possibly Schmaltz moving on I think he considers leaving school. Especially if they win a championship.
