I didn't even realize Hagens was on BC until now. Perreault-Hagens-Leonard. oof. Watch out College hockey and watch out Team Canada when they inevitably become linemates.
Nice play to freeze Augustine with his eyes, that’s what makes the play
The world doesn't revolve around Gabe Perreault, sorry. This is the right choice for BC at this point.Put Hagen with Gabe and Leonard. What is this garbage? That line will score 4 goals a game. Only a matter of time before they make the change.
It’s not. But they will change it eventually. Ncaa teams dont like to give rookies anything handed to them. Might be the first time you’ve followed the ncaa.This is the right choice for BC at this point.
Oskar Jellvik is a drafted NHL player who is a legitimate prospect in his own right and has two more years of college experience than Hagens including with the two other guys on the first line. It's a perfectly defensible decision to start him on that line in the first game of the season against the fourth ranked team in the country. There is talent everywhere on that roster and Hagens has to earn the spot rather than it just being given to him based on name value. Plus there is a legitimate argument that you're going to get more out of Hagens/Stiga together given their demonstrated history/chemistry. Cutter Gauthier was on the second line at BC last year and he accepted the role and elevated the guys around him. There is no issue here.It’s not. But they will change it eventually.

Yes. I literally just said that, rookies arent handed anything in the NCAA.Oskar Jellvik is a drafted NHL player who is a legitimate prospect in his own right and has two more years of college experience than Hagens including with the two other guys on the first line.

If BC wanted to stack their three best players on a line last year, they would have had a first line with Smith, Leonard, and Gauthier. Clearly they didn't want to do that.It’s not.

I don't think it's an "earn it" thing. They had Hagens with those players in preseason. They switched it up. The coaches must've recognized the need to spread the wealth out as opposed to having a super line.Oskar Jellvik is a drafted NHL player who is a legitimate prospect in his own right and has two more years of college experience than Hagens including with the two other guys on the first line.

I respect the bait.If BC wanted to stack their three best players on a line last year, they would have had a first line with Smith, Leonard, and Gauthier. Clearly they didn't want to do that.
