Nina is a hard skater and has a great shot! She may score a lot of goals for BU.
If any of you do come to Boston for the games I would enjoy meeting you. The Men are also playing (vs. Vermont) that weekend. The Friday game is at the same time, but the Saturday games are almost back-to-back (3pm and 7pm), so you could attend both games if you wanted to.

Re: Minnesota Women's Hockey 2016-2017 (aka Season 20)
Looking at the roster … Haley hasn’t played D for two years so I wouldn’t expect her to play it this year. Cline hasn’t played F in the last two years so I wouldn’t expect to see her there. I believe Barlow only played once at D, all other times at center. The last time Wolfe played F, it was for the RIT quarter final. And although Skarzynski finished the year at wing, given the number of forwards I’d guess her to be back at D this year.
So there are 15 F and 7 D based on last year.
Given 3 defenders graduate after this year, I would think Marshall and Robinson need to get as much experience as possible otherwise next year the blueline is really gonna be hurtin’ unless there is some super phenom freshman coming in. It’s also another reason I’d think Skarzynski will be a blueliner, otherwise Baldwin would be the only upper classman next year. It will be fun to see the two freshman and interesting to see the pairings and how everyone is used.
I thought about taking a shot at line configurations, but looked at 23 skaters and gave up. .... Glad I'm not the one to sort it out.
And then there are the forwards …. I calculate there to be 4,554 possible line combinations (I better say for the 3 lines or Eeyore will be jumping all over me, and likely will anyway), 5,796 if you include Skarzynski.

Thanks for correcting me. I really don't like the new style the BU website uses, but I will probably get used to it. So, no men's games that weekend, but I would still like to meet any Minnesota fans making the trip to Boston.

I re-watched the Gopher’s February win in OT over Wisconsin yesterday to start to get ready for the season. I hope to watch the UW and BC frozen four games next month sometime so I’m ready to go.
Badgers obviously have some major talent, ie Clark and Nurse among others but Pankowski I think is really the one. It’s easier to win championships if you have the best player. I’ll have my eye on Cameranesi and Potomak in particular this season. I’d love to see one or both of them take on that Brandt role of best player in the WCHA.
Pankowski has my attention in another way. Gopher-Badger games as mentioned before have generally been clean games rather than chippy games. We’ll be facing Pankowski two of the next three years and I hope she isn’t a force toward changing the nature of the series toward the chippy. Brings to mind the discussion we had here a few months ago about who’s going to replace McMillen as enforcer. Started thinking yesterday while watching the game that Stecklein may need to take some responsibility. Not her style or personality, but with her size and how solid she is, and being a three year captain, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her bring a little bit of McMillen’s role into her game.
Another reminder yesterday was Leveiile, and how many great, timely saves she made in the big games. Even games when she let in a goal she’d like to have back she would make the big play over and again.

Long Live The Queen, let’s go Sid!
And you didn't even mention ARD. Are you getting streams of those playoffs? If so where?
