Local players in the pros

CM got his third assist in four games on a KO goal where KO did most of the work. Buffalo loss secured best odds in Dahlin sweepstakes.

On the PP, playing high on his strong side? Weird

Alright…ya got me on that one :wink:

I saw it, he did good to get to the middle of the ice and rip it.

Casey must be ready for the summer, he’s endured a 1-8-1 record his last ten games.

While I know he will miss playing for the Gophers…and nobody likes to lose…something tells me he’s enjoyed the last 5 games more than he did the first 5 games (of that 10 game stretch) :wink: :biggrin2:

Wilcox is tied for the best save percentage in NHL history lol. Tied for second most saves among that group with 14. Most minutes played among that elusive group, 38:39, in NHL history.

Second goalie ever to have a loss despite a 1.000 career save percentage.

Maple Grove’s Jordan Gross signed a 2 year entry level deal with the Phoenix Coyotes. He’s the type of defenseman the Gophers should be trying to recruit.

The Gophers should try to recruit NHL signees?

Google hindsight bias when you get a chance.

Hard to believe it has taken 20+ games for Vanek to get in Tort’s doghouse.

Best thing about the Wild game last night.

Pretty low bar, yet still a reach. :lol:

A good story about Paul Martin:

Ryan Lindgren to play for Team USA with his brother Charlie at IIHF Worlds

So what happened?

I don’t know. I saw an article about Charlie saying he looked forward to playing with Ryan at the Worlds, and then Ryan was not named to team.

Neither is Buffalo Jesus, I thought for sure he’d want some time working at center.

Charlie isn’t either from the roster I saw.

He is the #3 goalie I believe

So he pulled a Gopher move and crashed a scooter like Budish & Conner Reilly . :wink: I don’t think Casey is injured.

For some reason you never hear about the players on the women’s team crashing their scooters. :conf2:

Connor Reilly retiring from hockey after one year in the ECHL

Nice write-up. The Schmidt goal video is definitely one of the standards here for BADger week

Very interesting, thanks.

They are buying (*Strong Possibility) him out for salary cap space. He’s 37, he could be done.

For Brandon Hickey who can become a free agent. Coyotes must have thought he wouldn’t sign.

I’m sure it’s mentioned somewhere else but when does da beauty league start?

Didja ever hear of this newfangled thing called Google? :wink:

July 11 since I have heard of Google.

Thanks and yes I have. This seems just as easy… posting a question and some goon answers it 15 minutes later :wink:

So, should we rename GPL Goongle? :mrgreen:

Schmidt suspended 20 for performance enhancing drugs… Appealing it.

From the NHLPA

“I am extremely disappointed to learn that I have been suspended for a violation of the NHL/ NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program. The fact that I’m issuing this statement is surreal to me as I have only used supplements provided by my NHL team and I have always been extremely careful about what I put into my body. Throughout my playing career I have been tested numerous times, including twice last season, and I have never before tested positive. It was utterly shocking to be informed that I tested positive for a microscopic amount of a tainted substance. Not only did I not intentionally take a banned substance, I could not have received any performance enhancement benefit from the trace amount that inadvertently got into my system at a level that was far too small to have any effect. This low amount was consistent with environmental contamination that I could not possibly have prevented.

One of the experts in environmental contamination who testified on my behalf at the Appeal hearing described the amount of the substance found in my system – 7 billionths of a milligram/mL – as the equivalent of a pinch of salt in an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Another expert analyzed a sample of my hair and concluded there was no evidence of intentional use. The Vegas Golden Knights track players’ strength and performance metrics and my results have remained constant over the past year.

While I support having a strong Performance Enhancing Substances Program in place for our sport, it is difficult to accept this suspension. I understand that I will miss these games, but I do not agree with the suspension and I will not accept being labelled a cheater.

I have worked my whole life to become an NHL player, and I’m extremely proud to be a player in the NHL. I have never cut corners in order to achieve this goal. I am grateful for the support of the entire Golden Knights organization and I can’t put into words how disappointed I am that I will not be on the ice at the beginning of the season to help my teammates work towards another Stanley Cup run.

I will make no further comment on this matter at this time.”

Honestly I just find the whole thing weird given that I didn’t figure the league tests for PEDs. There are so many guys in the league who seem like they’d be prime candidates for a PED test and nobody ever gets busted for it.

If what he is saying is true, this is a damn shame and hopefully someone can do something to help the kid…

If what he is saying was true, everybody would test positive. Pro sports leagues make it damn near impossible to fail a drug test even if you’re actually using. The likelihood of failing one while not using is miniscule.

Ya this is looking worse and worse

Looks like Blake Wheeler is getting a nice extension:
