      Accurate for once! Yeah me! Does that get me into heavy hitter territory or is the deficit just too deep that I ever get into that rarefied air? I thought the Squatch story was pretty strong.

        Better the Weak Sauce than Secret Sauce.

          Forget my question. And can we agree to delete these last posts. All we need is Gurth coming back here thinking he's a "big hitter."

            Sometimes I wonder where Gurth has gone. However, I always take a look around and realize that Gurth is all around us, if you really think about it. I feel silly for forgetting that in the first place.

              Oh whatever, he's just too busy drinking rum in his basement

              BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


              At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

              Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

                    Sorry that was a generalization. I drink fine quality fortified wines, such as Thunderbird, at every opportunity.

                      Gurt needs that ego stroked you know. Have to keep his confidence up, that spawns his creativity. It's also interesting Wisko McBadgerton comes and goes in streaks. Wisko and Gurt are supah novahs.

                      So out of the 15F, who will be in the pressbox? Cavillini, Zirbel, Labosky?

                        Zirbel, Ford, Cavallini, Ustaski. Labosky led the USHL in scoring in the playoffs, can't really see him not on the ice.

                        Also wouldn't be surprised to see Soleway sit a couple games. If the new coaching staff wants to be more upbeat with a new system, a slow Soleway won't fit that mold.

                          Agreed with those 4..Labosky will be on the ice. I wonder what line Frederic will center..

                            Take it for what it's worth but with the season starting with an exhibition game vs Victoria next week, here is a look at what a potential lineup may look like.

                            Besse-Kunin-Hughes: This line was actually a bright spot last year.
                            Soleway-Malone-Zimmer: Malone can dish the puck as well as score, as can Zimmer. Soleway can clean up.
                            Johnson-Frederic-Labosky: Frederic and Labosky can score and dish. Johnson can too but he is somebody that would greatly improve off of good passing line mates.
                            Freytag-Wagner-Ford: Grinder line. Freytag and Wagner have shown the ability to score and Ford just has heart.

                            Cavallini, Ustaski, and Zirbel can be inserted for whoever. Ideally they would stay on the fourth line.

                            Linhart-Greenway: Linhart is our #1 d-man hands down. Greenway can learn off of him.
                            Tischke-Davison: Both need to learn how to play without mistakes.
                            McGuire-Sexton: McGuire showed me in his limited time on D last year that he can play the position well. Sexton likes to hit people.

                            Bunz can replace anybody and Hurley won't play. If Nyberg does come in at semester break, he will replace either Tischke, Sexton, or McGuire.

                            Jurusik
                            Berry
                            Blomquist

                            Jurusik will play 90% of the time but I wouldn't be surprised to see Berry get a nod or two.

                              It would be tempting to just roll Hughes/Kunin/Besse and let them continue where they left off last year...but...I would slide Hughes to the 2nd line center and build a potent second line around he and Malone.

                              Zimmer/Kunin/Besse
                              Malone/Hughes/Freytag
                              Labosky/Frederic/Soloway

                              after that...Will Johnson, Ford, Wagner with Zirbel and Ustaski mixed in occasionally on the 4th line

                                This team is going to surprise people, if they shore up the D end they may actually play around .500 hockey.

                                Looking forward to watching another year of Kunin.
