In watching Stout the first weekend of this season here are my thoughts and comments about how they looked:

Stout appeared faster and deeper than I can remember in recent years which will lead to a more exciting style of hockey this season.
Returning the leading scorer and All-American Branden Gay was a huge boost for Stout and the top line.
Being able to put Gay between Hartviksen and Carr will really bring up the point production of that line.
The 2nd line may not have put up as many points but had 2 very solid games with many quality chances for scoring (Grimstad, Vierling, Stafne)
The 3rd line scored in bunches and just looked to be in mid-season form already. This line will benefit from facing other teams 3rd lines, and I look for high point totals for these 3 players, and maybe a few PIM's as well. (Cecka, LaChance, O'Donnell)
The 4th line this weekend was a group of freshmen and they were a very high energy line. (Pullar, Bell, Dillon)
The scratches Millis, Kirley, Giles, J. Whited, and Knox all could be inserted in the lineup depending on what type of game Coach Watkins wants to play and based on the match ups.

Our defense gave up a few 2 on 1's but overall looked very good and moved the puck very well. Cohen did not play this weekend but is expected back soon and will take his place in the top 6 defense.
Stout had Breeden, Maly, R. Whited, Beaudette, Tredinnick, Poganski, and Bombardier play this weekend.
Although mostly younger players they seemed to communicate well and reduce the shots on goal.

In goal Lescovich is clearly our #1 this season, and didn't seem to be tested too often. Hopper came in and played part of the 3rd period in one game and looked in good form.
This 1-2 punch in goal could be a large benefit for Stout as the season rolls on.

The cobber was likely intended as a term of ridicule!

Goalies Lescovich and Andrew made this a very low scoring afair with their play tonight. Stout returns to The ice tommorrow night at 7:30pm vs St. John's at the Dunn County Ice Palace

After a tough loss to a very good Superior team Friday, Stout pulls a 2-1 overtime victory Saturday. Very solid defense and goaltending. Goals by O'Donnell and Hartviksen tonight. Looking forward to seeing the same effort and team defense for the rest of the season

After a tough weekend in Duluth, Stout returns home to face the Rowdy Crowd and UW-Stevens Point. Look for a very fierce battle between these rivals and expect it to get chippy.
