    39 gp this year between Indiana and Chicago, 21 points (14-7), 28pim.
    Hope he sticks to his commitment this time. Big road weekend coming up. Dartmouth will be tough after going through a bit of a swoon themselves. Harvard is struggling but at home they will be tough. A split is needed. I'd love to see more than that but less than that is possible as well if we don't play our best.

      Any idea if he is set for this coming freshmen class or the following?

        he'll be 21 in August so I would imagine this coming year.
        Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

            While I respect your right to state your opinion, mine is the exact opposite. I am extremely impressed. Joe's status was unclear for a small portion or all of the last-2 seasons, making it difficult to recruit because we had one less coach available to beat the bushes and logic tells me that potential recruits were hestitant to commit while not knowing who the head coach/coaching staff would be. And, having Matt Carey unavailable this season was an unexpected setback. Despite all this, we stand just one game below .500 and that is remarkable to me during this transition period. Kudos to the coaches and the players.

            We need to give this more time going forward. Speaking of time and going forward, I see that we have another winger incoming this fall. I really believe that we have a top-10 recruiting class for the fall, and the credit for that lies with the coaching staff in my opinion.

              Also on the tweet machine, goalie Tyler Parks from Minot in the NAHL has committed. Haven't seen an arrival date for him. .922 save percentage, hasn't lost in 10 OT games, and has won 7 of 9 shootouts.

                    Here's a bit more on Tyler Parks, from the Minot website:


                    Working overtime

                    Tauros red hot after regulation

                    December 27, 2012

                    By MIKE KRAFT - Staff Writer (mkraft@minotdailynews.com) , Minot Daily News


                    Don't look now but the Minot Minotauros are tied for third place with Brookings (S.D.) with 32 points and are only one game behind rival Bismarck for second as they Tauros hit the halfway point of their schedule.

                    At 15-13-2 overall, the Tauros have a firm grip on a playoff spot, sitting 11 points ahead of Coulee Region for the fourth and final postseason berth out of the NAHL Central Division.

                    As the weather grew colder the Tauros got hotter. In November and December, Minot posted a 12-3 record which included a six-game winning streak. The two-month stretch produced nearly twice as many victories as the Tauros had all last season, when Minot won just seven games.

                    The Tauros' success the last two months can be primarily attributed to one thing - shootout success.

                    "We practice it a ton," assistant coach and goaltending specialist Terry Dunbar said. "You can't afford not to practice it. Our goalies have been pretty spot on. It's been fun to watch."

                    Minot has found success in goaltenders Tyler Parks and Ryan Ruck. Although Parks has started more than twice the games Ruck has this season and played nearly three times the minutes, Ruck is making the most of his opportunities. The California native has won his last two starts and is coming off a 4-0 shutout at Coulee Region last Thursday in which he made a career-high 30 saves.

                    "They're very contrasting styles of goalies," Dunbar said. "Tyler covers so much net. In 1-on-1 scenarios it's tough to beat that type of coverage. It's unbelievable. When you really need to lean on a guy, you can count on him."

                    Parks has been the go-to goalie for Minot, winning 12 of his 20 starts this season. Parks' numbers are nearly identical to his 2011-12 season with NAHL North Division Springfield (Ill.). With the Jr. Blues, Parks started 20 games and registered a 12-9-1 record. He had a 2.75 goals against average and a .917 save percentage. This season in the same amount of starts, Parks is 12-7-1, allowing 2.56 goals per contest and stopping 92 percent of shots faced.

                    "He's a monster," Tauros coach Marty Murray said. "He's a big guy who plays his position well. There's not much net to shoot at."

                    When the game is on the line, most notably in shootouts, both goaltenders have shined. The Tauros are 7-1 in shootouts, winning their first six. Ruck won his only shootout appearance back in September against Fresno. He stopped three of five shots and helped the Tauros win their first game of the season.

                    Parks has been in net for the other seven shootouts. His first shootout experience in a Tauros jersey went 12 rounds against Fresno. Parks stopped 10 of 12 shots to earn the victory - the first of five straight wins in shootouts for Parks. In his last three shootout wins, Parks has not allowed an opponent to tally a goal in the extra period (13-for-13). Parks and Ruck have combined to stop 35 of 46 shots in shootouts.

                    "That gives the boys a lot of confidence," Dunbar said. "Between the two of them, there's not many tandems who are as strong as what we have."

                    Making life easier for the two goaltenders has been the play of Minot's shooters. The Tauros have scored 19 goals in shootouts, eight more than Austin, who has the second-most goals. Minot's .422 shootout goal percentage is the third highest in the NAHL behind only Bismarck (.444) and Texas (.583).

                    Nine different Tauros have scored a shootout goal, led by Cameron Rowat, Steven Sherman and Matt Audette, who all have a team-high four tallies.

                    "Sherman and Rowat have some good offensive techniques," Murray said. "They've all scored big goals in shootouts for us. Steve and Cameron will pick apart the goalie if they give them room to. Matt has a couple of moves he'll go to."

                    Dunbar said the players' confidence is apparent leading up to the shootouts. In the idle moments between the end of overtime and the start of the shootout, Dunbar said the players are typically loose with smiles on their faces, while the opposition is on edge.

                    Despite all the success in shootouts, Murray hopes to have more victories end in regulation to avoid giving the opposition unnecessary points in the standings.

                    The Tauros host Brookings on Friday at 7:35 p.m. The two are tied for third place in the NAHL Central Division.

                      That's just my nickname for Twitter, Tayt. From there it is all dependant on who you "follow". Mike McKenna is the one who happened to mention this, as Parks is originally from the St. Louis area.

                          Fun night!

                          Mike and I decided to go to the game on the spur of the moment, and what a good decision it turned out to be. Got to see the Spaceman for the first time in quite a while, along with quite a few other friends. Leckster, we missed you.

                          I have to admit I didn't go into the game with a ton of confidence. Then after the first period I thought Dartmouth just looked too strong and quick. We just didn't have the puck very much and they were getting a lot of shots on Weninger. Even though SLU played a good second period, another late goal really looked like a killer. St. Lawrence was working very hard, but again I just thought Dartmouth would have too much in the third period and we'd hit the wall. Boy was I wrong.

                          Weninger kept SLU in it early, and made a spectacular save in the third period on what looked like an easy tap-in for Dartmouth. I still don't know how he got from post to post so quickly. Wick's first goal was absolutely gorgeous, too. What a pass from Flanagan - in the air, over a defenseman's stick, from one faceoff dot to the other, and it landed perfectly for a wicked one-timer. We were laughing after Wick's second goal, when he carried the puck in 2 on 1 with Carey. I was saying "Don't shoot, don't shoot, give it to Carey, don't shoot!!!" And of course Wick buried it.

                          I imagine the SLU players are exhausted, and Dartmouth must be wondering what the heck happened tonight, but what a good win for the Saints. That was fun.

                                Have to admit, I didn't expect the result. For the first time in a very long time we sat right on the ice level in the first row. In the first period all I was thinking was wow.... "Dartmouth is bigger, faster, stronger!" And they were. But some how we hung in there close enough to make it interesting and then in the third we stepped on the gas a little bit and pulled away.
                                I echo Tim's comments....that Flanny pass to wick was gorgeous. Were it not for Wenny however the result could have been very different. He made some very impressive saves including the side to side one that Tim mentioned that looked like a sure goal. I saw the TV interview with Gaudet afterward and he summed it up best saying that Dartmouth didn't bury their chances and if you don't....anything can happen.
                                Leckster....where were you? That's as close to a home game as it's going to get. Hope all is well.
                                Nice to see many of the old faithful Saints fans there.
