Maybe she saw this coming.

Excerpts:
Where’s the best place in America to live if you want to maximize your chances of living longer?
Based on an authoritative new state-by-state study of the American burden of disease, disability and premature death, and how it has changed from 1990 to 2016, you might consider setting down roots in Hawaii, where residents have the longest life expectancy, 81.3 years.
But if your goal is to live long and stay healthy as long as you can, call Minnesota your home, which outranks every state and the District of Columbia for average length of healthy life expectancy, 70.3 years.
Minnesotans joke that the long months of subfreezing temperatures preserve them, but Dr. Christopher J.L. Murray, the new study’s lead author, told me, “Living in cold is pretty bad for you; Minnesotans would probably be even healthier if it wasn’t so cold there.”

Rumor has it that Frosty has made an offer to late-bloomer "Snail Mail". Not expected to compete for a spot on the first line, but she knows how to "drop the gloves" whenever needed plus has other talents that should be valuable in the locker room to get her teammates "totally stoked" before games.

Typo...Slim and none (and mostly none) are the odds of it being a position change with the depth at forward and the lack of depth at D.

Maybe they're going to use the system that UMD did back around 2002-2003 where they'd play 4F and 1D even when teams were 5 on 5.

Looks like Ostertag is now listed as defense so that has been corrected. It also has Sierra Smith and Emma May listed as defense...Maybe that will solve the D depth problem.

60 minute power play - great for fans who like breakaways and high-scoring games!Then again, why not go all bc on the bit and basically have 2 D that are really forwards and just forget about D and have everyone on offense?

Who wants to take a bet with me that Agnew will put up 30 points this year

Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers 2017-18 Season Thread
And exactly 30 points?
If on the other hand you meant at least 30 points during the coming 2018-19 season that would equate to a rather healthy 130% increase over 2017-18. Based on her much improved play towards the end of this past season it would certainly be attainable given BC's expected dominance in Hockey East - provided she's paired with any combination of Watts, Lonergan, Newkirk (doubtful) PLUS ends up skating on the No. 1 power play unit for most of the season (doubtful x's 2).
This year meaning 2018?

The bet would have to be for a couple dozen cupcakes, right? Or maybe some whoopie pies?

Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers 2017-18 Season Thread
Sincere Congratulations to Natalie. One of my all-time favorite "opposing" players.
Best Darwitz Memory? I was at the Whitt for her National Title Winning Goal in 2005 at the Whitt. Spectacular finish to an awesome Minnesota/Harvard game.
The Hall of Fame selection is a well deserved honor for all the reasons chronicled in the article. Thanks for posting the link, D2D.
