Number 1 in the nation for how many straight weeks?

I'll put money that they will b the preseason #1 if they don't lose anybody. (Which I suspect they won't)

(This post does not have the intention to start a back and forth banter, just my opinion)

You know what means right?

 

[gphr513]

It will be interesting to see what happens with the CC job. I'd be surprised if Guentzel takes it.

 

[GinoLucia2217]

Lol yeah I do, I must've looked right passed it!

Speculated Badger lineup:

Soleway - Zullinick - Hughes
Ustaski - Rockwood - Beese
Navin - LaBate - Wagner
Cavallini - Paape - Hurley/Ford/McGuire

Schulze - Dougherty
Wittchow - Ford
Davison - Drake

Rumpel
Peterson

Let's start with the forwards. Zullinick at first line center? I was very unimpressed by him last year. LaBate as third line center? He was 3rd line center on a stacked team last year. Probably will move up. The rest looks alright. Maybe Soleway moves down to the second line

Now to the defense. Call me crazy but I think the D is better than last year. Removing Simonelli, Faust and McCabe can easily be offset by Dougherty, Ford, and Davison. If need be the second pairing could switch to Wittchow-Drake like it was last year.

Goaltending is the same.

 

[GinoLucia2217]

Not sure if this is old news or not but Minnesota may have another Swedish recruit.

Pretty sure he is a defenseman. Name escapes me. But they would bring the count up to 2 swedes for next year.

That's alright

 

[gphr513]

Speaking of recruits, I looked up the latest Gopher recruit, Brannon McManus, and saw he was born in 1999... Next year we're gonna see kids born after 2000 start committing.

Usually I hate it when people in their early 20s like me say "oh man that makes me feel so old!!", but that really does make me feel old

Haven't seen a Swedish defenseman mentioned anywhere on GPL..

Just something we were talking about on Easter. Didnt think to post anything about it before, and am regretting it now.

If I wee hear anything else I will let you know

Are you talking about Robin Hoglund? He's the one I know about other than Brisedt(sp). Sounds like a big 6'3 205lbs 3rd/4th liner. Son of Jonas and previously committed to Notre Dame according to hammy.

Possibly sounds like something that we were taking about. It sounded like the general erection was that the kid wasn't the greatest skater or puck skills, but Don said that he was astounded by his ability to do that.

 

[gphr513]

... the general erection....

Sounds like a personal problem

 

[gphr513]

Hotline committed a while ago, IIRC. And he is a forward.

 

[GinoLucia2217]

Sounds like a personal problem

I meant perception. If I miss the first P it auto corrects it to erection

 

[gphr513]

Bad day for auto correct all around. I see now that Hoglund auto corrected to hotline in my post

 

[GinoLucia2217]

But on topic it might be Hoglund that we were talking about. That would bring it to 2 Swedes and 1 Fin for the 2014-2015 season recruits, right?

 

[gphr513]

There are no Finns coming in, that I'm aware of.

 

[GinoLucia2217]

My Dad constantly talks about a some Finnish guy who is supposed to be coming to play at the U for the 2014-2015 season.

Then again my dad is 60... Might need to check if he has Dementia

I'll talk to him later, have an update.

 

[gphr513]

Maybe he thinks Bristedt is from Finland or something

Because there's definitely no Finn anywhere that I can see.

no clue.

On a different note, the Gophers seem to have finally found good goaltending.

Before Wilcox when did we ever have great goaltending?

Briggs just had an amazing team, as did Houser. I suppose you could say Stauber.

But now we have Wilcox and future goalie Edquist!!

Man am I excited!

 

[Ban Hammered]

Huskies are the ones with the Finn coming in.

 

[GinoLucia2217]

I'm. It sure that is who he is talking about. We aren't Husky fans despite living in St. Cloud.

Still have to talk to him, but he is on the road driving back from Arizona
