The team seems to go with just two lines. Haven’t been able to find player stats - time on ice, +/-, if anyone has.
    He is dressed today against Russia and was dressed for the Czech game...didn't get a shift against the Czech's

      Good win by the Friars tonight, 4-2 over Miami of Ohio.

      Matt Koopman with his first career goal...

      Leaman playing 13 front line guys and they are all getting time on the ice, I think the team depth up front is going to be key to success rest of year. Hopefully they avoid any defense injuries because there is no depth there.

      Friars crushed Miami on shots something like 40 to 16. Miami had only 3 shots in the second period.

      Not everything was rosy, Friars gave up 2 power play goals in first period. They did score a PP goal in the second.

        Are they better without O’Brien playing? It is a conversation to have as the kid hadn’t shown to be ready to play at this level

          Post Russia game has dressed for 6 of 7 and is a -2. Didn’t think he had enough ice to do that poorly. For whatever reason wondering if he would have been better off staying home.

            No. Good experience anyway. He should come back healthy and a little angry and frustrated. We could definitely use him in the 2nd half.

              Tough game tonight. Miami definitely played better then night before. Take the tie and move on, better than a loss.

                Hate to accept a tie when we had a 2 goal lead into the third.....must improve the D or go no where......UMass will eat us up if they don't get better

                  Agree, take the tie and move on, kudos to Miami, they played a real good third period, and the Green kid launched a guided missile for the tying goal on a superbly executed 6 on 5.

                    Brown beat Union last night...they will be tough to beat at Meehan on the 15th

                    But first up is BC at Kelly Rink on Friday and BU at home on Saturday..would love to get the weekend sweep of those games. Playing against 2 top notch goalies.

                      Need to beat Brown if we are a top team.

                        Under the better late than never category, Chris Peters had the final U.S. stats on his twitter yesterday, including TOI for O'Brien which was approx. 31 minutes:

                          Friars were 3-0-1 since the last poll. Should see a healthy jump in the polls with tons of teams losing ahead of them.

                            3 spots to 7. 1 below pwr rating. The work lays ahead. Urgency needs to be there now

                              Only three quality games (Potential NCAA teams) left with two against Northeastern and one against UMass. I can’t see any of the other opponents getting a bid unless they won the conference tourney or went undefeated the rest of the way (BC and BU)

                                So what are folks thinking about this weekend against the Boston teams? Time for Friars to come into Kelly Rink and take it to the Eagles....Terriers could be tough second night. Are Woll and Oettinger back on their games, if so they are tough goalies to beat...will the transfer defenseman and the returning Wahlstrom be big difference for BC going forward. And all those draft picks on BU, are they ready to play as a team? Guessing Jay O'Brien will be back in lineup, Leaman kind of hinted that would be the case on his radio show this week.

                                Could be tough to get 4 pts this weekend but if Friars are the better team not impossible.
