    That is a good question...Probably needs to be redirected to the Sconnie expertise that sometimes graces us with their presence.

    Gunderson, Peiper, and Smith won't see the ice much at all and Keller could also see her minutes diminished coming back from injury. Another question is how will Taylor Williamson's health be next year? Definitely more competition next year than this past year. My opinion is that Skarzynski should be in the mix at D not a forward but we will see what happens there.
    At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

        Rarely a week goes by that I don't learn a new word or expression that I haven't seen before. Sconnie? Much more polite than cheesehead. Don Riley would not approve though.

          Wrong. Sconnie is an insult. Cheesehead is a compliment.

            See what I mean. Barely 6 minutes and I've already learned something else new from the women's college hockey fan forum.

                Actually, no, but your second favorite former Gopher and winning womens coach has been mentioned seriously.

                Two other serious mentions are Grant Potulny and Motzko. I assume MN can well outpay SCSU but he has been so successful up there I wonder if the money would make him change his mind. I also wonder if this is the year they give up on the MN only recruiting. It was critical to the development of hockey in Minnesota and has been wildly successful at that. But, the game has changed & college hockey is now just another NHL minor league and winning is the only thing. It may be time.

                    I was wondering if either (or both) of DAngelo and May would take a redshirt this past year.

                      The whole "Sconnie" thing happened just before or was just happening when I moved back to Madison in late 2008. I had no idea, so I remember asking somebody and being told, or reading somewhere that a "Sconnie" was specifically a UW student from Minnesota, here taking advantage of the reciprocity agreement. How accurate that was I don't know, but it clearly doesn't have that meaning anymore. So I don't know if I'd call it an insult, exactly, but ...

                        I assume that May is the 'practice goalie' and would not redshirt. D'Angelo was injured I believe and I would expect her to be a medical redshirt but have no information one way or the other.

                          I heard the term about 2010 just referring to America's Dairylanders. If it ever was an insult it didn't stay that for long as I have heard sconnies call themselves that. Maybe it is like 'canuck' an insult at one time that was adopted and now even names a team in their nation game.

                            Well then, it's not an insult at all but a nickname for someone who had enough brains to get the blank out of rodensota. I know the nickname for someone who goes to school in MN who is from WI.....LOSER.
