      bjugstad should do whatever he wants out there on the ice with 17 year olds.

      wonder who is going to play first line left wing with rau out. id guess they dont care to split the lines up given that it's an exhibition game.. maybe just slide in michaelson or horn or something..

        Won't much matter, the result will be the same. But it will be a good opportunity for the coaches to take a real good look at a half-dozen players who will want to prove that they belong on one of the top 3 units.

          So you're a nozzle on multiple fronts, uh? Good job.

            Good point and apparently the "others" will be carefully scrutinized by Lucia and co. to determine future ice time:

            How do you get ‘up’ for a weekend like this after playing their first road series and first conference series? “There’s still a lot to play for. We’re going to play some guys that haven’t played on Friday night for awhile. They’re going to get their opportunity, and it’s a big opportunity for them because if they don’t show well, they might not get in.

                I hope we see Horn in the lineup.

                I would still love to see a line of Condon Bjugs and Rau (when healthy) I think they would be very hard to play against. Isackson is decent but Condon with his speed would be sweet up on that line.

                    i think that line combo would be great if rau was right handed. not a big fan of him playing the off wing. MAYBE condon on the off wing with his speed

                    if condon returns next year i would like to see him first line left wing with rau at center..

                      Looks like Canisius is hosting Air Force tonight.

                          Nic is a good kid and an impact player. IMO it's sad to see he and his family handed a bad judicial decision by the NCAA...pathetic actually. I think he'll obviously be excited to get a chance to see ice time and add a lot of energy to a US under-18 squad that has already proven they can hang with good teams.

                          USA under-18 team

                          There's no doubt the US under-18 team will be coming into Mariucci excited and ready to battle, with wind in their sails from back to back wins as well: a W this week against the Indiana Ice (4-2 this season against USHL teams); and they beat a very good Oswego State (all Canadian) team last Sat., the NCAA DIII Championship runner up last season, who incidentally lost only 1 player out of their top 11 scorers from last season when they went 24-4-2.

                          The US under-18 has good size (tallest forward is 6'5"/227), and scoring power with Kelleher, Eiserman and Fasching. They've struggled on D though and in net with Miska (GAA: 3.97, SV%: .83) and Demko (GAA: 2.70, SV%: .88) sharing netminding duties, giving up early leads and having to play catch up too much this season.

                          Canisius Golden Griffins

                          Canisius (0-3-1) have struggled offensively only averaging 1 G/game, but has received good goaltending from Tony Capobianco (GAA: 1.97, SV%: .93). However, I don't expect Canisius to be able to stop the Gophers from getting pucks deep and burying several goals in a lopsided victory for the Gophers.

                          UM Golden Gophers

                          Out of the two games this weekend with the US under-18 and Canisius on Sunday, the game tonight will most likely be the more challenging contest. With the injection of players into the lineup to get some good looks at their skill level, it'll be important for the Golden Gophers to establish and preserve an early lead tonight against the US under-18. THE BIG SHIBROWSKI will get the start in goal tonight and Wilcox on Sunday afternoon.

                          Overall, the Golden Gophers come out of this weekend knowing more about their lineup with expected wins over both teams. Go Gophers!

                            Canisius does have 1 win up in Alaska over UAF, they look like they have solid D and goaltending in giving up only 1 goal twice 2 goals once and 3 goals to Western Michigan at Western. They will probably pack it in around the net and make the Gophers work for ugly goals, if they "run and gun" they are toast.

                            I would imagine the Under 18 game tonight will be more of a up and down the ice type game with great chances at both ends, they do have some very highly skilled players that can score. I hope we take them seriously, they dropped 4 goals on the Sue (or whatever they are) up in Grand Forks, but their young D will make mistakes.

                              Yeah, I looked at the Sacred Heart numbers one down... MYYY BADDDD!!! Binos ready. Check.

                              Edit:

                              I wonder if the state of the art innervated video room at TCF might be able to enlarge the game screen on All Access ahhh...a lot? Please.
