Quote: maroon and goldQuote: Slap ShotThe Gophers have been missing the next DeMarchi since he left.
I have no idea if it's an apt comparison though or not.
There have been others. Helgeson, Seeler and Lindgren come to mind.
Lest we forget all time great and fav: Stu Bickel
Will never forget when the Gophers restarted the series against NoDak series, and Lindgren threw down with the Susie just a few minutes into the game.
Junior hockey season is officially underway. 1 game 1 goal for Conboy.

really hoping for a huge year of him developing that power forward game more fully
Carter Casey picks up the win for Medicine Hat last night, stopping 25 of 27 shots. He should get a lot of action this year.
Mace'o Phillips with an assist while posting a +3 with 'only' 2 PIM's.
Watching the U18s play Sioux Falls. This is probably the worst version of the team I have seen.

Watched that game too and I hate to say it but I might agree. The D core especially stood out as one of the slower groups I can remember. I liked our guys though 😄

Phillips with another assist and Casey another win. Both with very good weekends.

Ben Geiger ranked 23rd on Craig Button’s top 32 draft ranking. The top American defenseman on the list. Will be interesting to see how much PP time he gets this year, especially after they added Prunty. There’s a lot of good that comes with the NTDP but when you’re like the 3rd or 4th PP guy in the pecking order it’s really not ideal for development. Geiger could be the go-to guy on a regular USHL or WHL team. Also carrying 8 defensemen is just too many in my opinion. Rant over.

Over Harper, Prunty and Gutierrez? I’ve always liked Geiger but that’s surprising. Good surprise.

That is really high imo but he’s also got a huge frame at this age
Button does seem to veer the most from consensus - which cuts both ways - but I can see Geiger being drafted highly on upside alone. Interesting recruit to monitor this year.
Is Freddie Schneider hurt?

Yes. Don’t think it’s serious from what I’ve heard.

Looking down from my High Horse

Not very objective
Katz is absolutely tearing up the dub so far
Meier with the game winner tonight for Everett
Quote: upnorthkidMeier with the game winner tonight for Everett
Yeah, he’s got a pretty deadly release and seems to have a shoot first mentality. Had the game wining goal last night too.
Phillips first in the dub yesterday

This is a positive imo. Hopefully he gets more runway/PP time in Calgary than he did in Everett.
