no i had seen that; just was wondering if there was some smoke/fire behind the why. he only missed one other game all year and they scratched him for a guy with 2g and 1a all year in 23 games. just interesting for a guy who was #5 on their team in +/- and played on their PP

anyone know why Wilmer leaving? Would assume it's just because he wants a bigger role somewhere? and yeah i completely agree there's not really "room" at this point for the Gophers to look at any of these guys unless someone else is on the way out, which you'd expect Bob to know by now.

I think we can all acknowledge none of us are truly objective as we're fans. Bonin has taken the gophers are always more negative (which is a weird thing as a fan, but as a MN sports fan, yeah I think we can understand) and the rest of us are always more positive. That said, the projected...

Yeah whoever has the one seed has so much of an easier path to get there. Completely agree that’s likely BC again. Once you get 2-7 it’s way more about matchups MOST of the time, especially in the second round. This will probably change more and apply more 3-7 given aha and ccha are going to...

I think the Tampa pain will go away next time we win it, which will eventually happen. Having all the guys doesn’t give you the title, we’ll see how it goes but BC will be the odds on favorite for sure

to do what? be the 7th defenseman and/or take minutes from Gruba and/or Whipple for no reason? we still would have no backup goalie and you're going to need a scholarship there one way or the other as you're not going to roll with Airey and an walk on as the only guys rostered.

perfectly happy with this pick up. was really good as a junior, has played a bunch of games, and is a one year guy. he'll be here to try push Airey and is a more than capable backup. PSU was awful defensively and gave up a bunch of high danger chances every game. It's a solid but not spectacular...

sure

we'll see on "the line". Caps just made the playoffs so we'll see on Leonard. the other 2 its looking more likely, but can't envision the sharks wanting to burn a year. for perrault, probably more depends what happens for the rangers in the offseason. But if they're all back, BC is head and...

Buium gone for Denver. would envision that would mean his brother will go too. Rizzo also just signed with the Flyers

or, and hear me out here, we give kids NIL money for actual NIL rather than pay for play. If you're giving kids money for actual NIL, it will obviously be contractual that they do said NIL things. Can easily put that stipulation in your NIL contract that they must be member of "X team" while...

that would really surprise me, but I guess a lot of that depends on where he lands in the draft as well. maybe he wants to come back and play for what should be a damn good team either way. obviously a very unique situation with his age

nailed that Harvard take ;) BC and BU rosters were head and and shoulders better than anyone this year and DU when healthy I'd say was in that category as well (pre Rizzo going out). I would've taken the Gophers to win MSUs regional had they been in Michigan's shoes. I'd also say our roster and...

tough break for cornell. they actually won a game in the postseason and still finish behind UND. actually, it brings their total number of NCAA wins since 2017 to 3, 2 more than UND over the same time period.

agreed. you get cooked off the penetration and kick and 3 as Kat can't cover Durant. What you get in increased size in rebounding gets you murdered in open shots. The biggest thing though, to me, is Ant needs to be Ant. This postseason has the chance to be a coming out party for him and he has...
