college roster - additions

[scsavre]

I think it is a good move too. Wilcox was to be a senior this year. Instead he was a back up in the ushl. He still needs to get some playing time.

There is also that kid from canada. Starts with a v. Vinanueau or something. The kid was touted but pretty bad for muskegon this year.

[Bear55]

"Vinanueau or something"

That is the guy I was thinking of.

[solbes]

Can't have a Candadian gooaalllie playing for the Gophers now can we, eh? What would Doug say?

[scsavre]

Who cares about doug, the fmgac won't let it happen.

[scsavre]

Gophs just got even bigger. They signed blake thompson of eden praire via waterloo. 6'3 220 lbs. 5 goals 18 assits and 117 pms this year. Just finished his 3rd year in juniors, but left ep after sophmore season.

Coaches rave on his character. Great kid.

Hmmmmmmm getting bigger and meaner and leadership. watchout

[cbrooks]

That guy is a beast and he's only a sophmore. I'm gonna have to google this kid.

UND recruit Nick mattson dewfensive MVP of the USHL

[scsavre]

Too bad he didnt switch to BSU too.

I might have to call BSU the Sioux of the East, und east, grand forks east to the east.

They are both green and full of Canadians. Didnt I see that the beavs recruits were all canadians? I dont feel like looking it up

Yep, you're 100% percent correct . . . BSU has recruited all 26 year old Canadians, just like UND does. BSU's offers to each them includes: 10 kilos of back bacon, unlimited 2-4's of Canadian, unlimited cartons of Players and Blue Bomber season tickets, eh?

[solbes]

Oh man can I get in on that bacon deal, eh? I can't play hockey very well but I can speak Canadian like J.Lemaire does.

I love seeing Minnesota players on Duluth's squad, especially those that are from the Twin Ports or the Iron Range. This years team had quite a few. But we'd be nothing without our Canadian players. Just our link to Camrose alone up nort has produced Macgregor Sharp, Mason Raymond, and Mike Connolly. Can't wait to see who's the next Mike Connolly.

[cbrooks]

Didn't Herb brooks say something along the lines of "it doesn't matter what name is on the back but what the name on the front says", From the movie "Mircle on Ice ". He was trying to bring the Boston/east coast players and the Minnesota/west coast players together. i like to think the same for the Fighting Sioux or even BSU. Who cares where there from.

I could go for that bacon too, maybe they could sweeten it up with some labatt and kokanie too, the still selling that stuff at the Ralph?

[scsavre]

here are the USHL scoring leaders that will tear it up, eventually.

Kokanie is over-rated IMHO. My absolute favorite brew, though is domestic Blue Light . . with some some Hostess salt & vinager chips, eh?

[scsavre]

Overated, but under priced. We used to drive up and get that stuff for like $8. Hostess huh......salt and vinager...nah the hostess I am thinking of is 5'9 120lbs and has a refill beer waiting for me by the time I am on my last sip of my current beer.

[Shorelunch]

Hostess in CA = Old Dutch in MN. Not too many 5'9" hostesses on the border under 200 lbs . . .

[scsavre]

I suppose up in grandforks we can shrink her down to 5'6 and then add 60lbs. I suppose I would also have to walk up to the bar and get my own beer too, as I am sure I am quicker then her. I at least hope my beer doesnt exceed $2 per. that sounds more realistic.

And dont worry I am not wearing my maroon and gold - although I am sure they can still sell it on me.

[solbes]

Gimme a Sleeman's Honey Brown or even a Moosehead and I'll be happy, eh.

Thanks for the USHL link. Cross-referenced the incoming UMD recruits from USHL:

Forwards:

Caleb Herbert, 17th scoring, 23 goals/27 assists, -8

Cal Decowski, 90th, 8/17, -13

Adam Krause*, 104th, 12/11, -5

Justin Crandall, 104, 7/16, +8

Dmen:

Chris Casto, 14th scoring, 6 goals/19 assists, +15

Willie Corrin*, 62nd, 1/9, +6

These guys may come in '12.

Some people are saying this kid could steal rookie of the year in the WCHA next year. UNO recruit Jayson Megna

http://www.ridertownusa.com/team/players/ushl/view.php?player=44

Wisconsin has a commitment from Tornto native Gabe Grunwald for 2013-2014. He's 6'3" 185 lbs and comes from a basketball family. Dad won a NCAA title with Indiana in 1981 and is currently the vice president of the Knicks.

[Bear55]

UNO has a player out of Brainerd (Archibald) who is pretty good too. He probably flys under the radar as recruits go but I think he will be a heck of a player in a couple of years.

[scsavre]

I could see him being rather connely like. The kids got some skill. Blais stole him from und. Didn't his dad play at und.

[Shorelunch]

]I could see him being rather connely like. The kids got some skill. Blais stole him from und. Didn't his dad play at und.

Yes, he did. It's my understanding that he has the same attitude as his dad, too. He'll be an interesting one to watch.

[Bear55]

I haven't been paying much attention to the USHL playoffs but it sure is nice to see a bunch of future gophers doing well.

Rank-Games-G-A-Pts

1 Rau 6-6-4-10

4 Isackson 6-3-5-7

7 Reilly 6-4-2-6

7 Warning 4-3-3-6

[cbrooks]

I wonder if Kyle Rau will come in for the Gophers next year? I'm thinking his size will hold him back for next year IMO.
