    Well, BC hasn't won anything yet. They have to beat Wisconsin, first.

    Natl Title Game Appearances,

    needs any excuses, lol.



    But it's still a legitimate explanation.

          Great quote. The Gophers are in extremely competent hands with Frost and Johnson leading the way. Don’t let a few spoiled apples ruin the orchard. Depth is the key and needed for internal competition as well as game consistency. I expect they will be the spoiler of higher ranked teams before season ends.

            Although, after seeing yours, putting the Potomaks together makes a certain amount of sense.

              Why aren't the centers in the center? Beyond that, it seems like Skarzynski might need to do her annual "Start the year playing D" thing, just to limit the number of games where any forward who was a former US or Canadian U-18 player is a healthy scratch.

              I hope they don't just put the three Ps together and never try anything else, because while I'm sure that would be a dynamite unit, I think we could wind up with a couple of first-line caliber lines if they spread them out.

                Some of you are probably aware of this but thought I would mention it anyway...This coming Saturday is a great matchup between Edina and Blake at 4PM which can be viewed by live stream on stateofhockey.com if you can't attend in person. Many D1 recruits including 5 for the Gophers will be in action.

                  The thing that is obvious to me is that they have too much talent. I might start by trying to red shirt one of the non-national team frosh if possible but I'm not sure it is going to get easier in 19-20. I like your first two lines but might swap Heise & Zumwinkle. Pairing the Potomaks might make them happy but it might not be the best for the team. It would be hard to build a bad line out of this group though.

                      I was just throwing names at the wall. My guess is that, as usual, the line combinations won't be set until halfway through the season and it's impossible to predict exactly what they'll be right now. I will be disappointed if Kippin Keller doesn't get regular playing time, because she's fun to watch and has probably been the most consistent player on the team at giving a high effort level every night.

                        Maybe, maybe not...It depends on what roles players are willing to except. It can't be like Wisconsin's utopia of 4 interchangeable first lines. Boreen will be the only non-national team frosh and she was probably good enough to be on the national team. So, I doubt she will sit.

                          Boreen is scheduled to Red-Shirt next year she is too slow for the WCHA. Need to work on her skating. What about Agnew? Is she going to transfer to BC?

                              It's too bad Boreen didn't consider an offer to go elsewhere considering she's already "scheduled" to sit. Maybe she still will.

                              Agnew to bc...I guess we can credit you with having the rumor first.

                                I believe the "first line" comment has been beat to death by you. I think the guy was just making a generalization that Wisconsin will be really strong next year. Was he really supposed to throw in the "except Minnesota of course" comment. I truly hope the Gophers win it this year so you can go back to gloating and your "can't argue with success crap".

                                And everyone knows Boreen is in trouble for playing time, which is too bad she is a good kid. And Agnew leaving is new news to you? Perhaps you need to get informed somewhere besides the internet. And Gopher/Badger is correct.
