We brave the cold for tailgates, our friends know not to ask about the game after a tough loss, we laugh, we cry, we BLEED hockey, specifically the maroon'n'gold. Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

I saw Starman on Friday night at the USA and UMass game and seen him this year with a youth team at PC (maybe his sons were on that squad).
Sonny Milano was an absolute beast on Friday night as he was the USA squad's best offensive option with a ridiculous backhand 360 goal. Biggest issue with him is the fact he doesn't play a lick of defense and flies the zone a ton.
Schmaltz scored a gorgeous wrist shot goal going to his right and shooting it into the top left corner of the net.
Couple of other guys that stuck out were Christian Dvorak who was all over the ice and Colin White is one of the hardest workers that I have seen.
I walked by Alex DeBrinecat in the hallway... he is short ;-)
The UMass goalie on Friday night was their third string goalie and played out of his mind with 3 ten bell saves.
The defense and goalies were not tested really so nothing to say about them.Yes I am the former member known as Zlax45

Re: 2016 World Junior Championship
USA is still good enough to win without Connor, Roslovic, Tuck but its stunning that at least Connor didnt make it. The forward core still looks nice, lot of quality depth for the USA at forward these days. I hated Schmaltz at last years WJC but him and Boeser have been sick this year so hopefully we see the NoDak version of him and not last years scrub version. Looks like we might see a Tkachuk, Matthews, Debrincat top line. When was the last time we had an all draft eligible top line at this tournament??
If we had all eligible players would this be the best forward core in US history on paper?
Larkin, Eichel, Matthews, Boeser, Milano, Schmaltz, Connor, Debrincat, Tkachuk, White, Tuch, etc...is a lot of high end talent.
