do we know who is on the out of conference schedule for next season? i think i recall hearing the North Dakota was paying a visit, and that they'll be playing two of scsu, miami, and cornell in florida. is there a return series at michigan state? i would assume they'd host an AHA team at some point as well to round out the (typically 8 games) ooc schedule...
NoDaK, NoDak, either SCSU/Miami, either SCSU/Miami/Cornell, MSU, MSU could make for a very interesting season in terms of the pairwise, etc... maine could have a top 5 schedule in terms of difficulty
metcalf is supposedly living in the portland area now... evidently, he and his wife are due to have their first child and he is turning to life after hockey... of course, if the rumors i'm hearing are true, i'll be facing him in my men's league soon....
Must be the PIA league....with roenick and the others....
As for Peter Metcalf, don't think he and his wife are expecting their first child! He was sitting with Grey holding a young one with a cupie doll pony tail all night. You don't do that for practice, he's already a dad!
It sounds like Gus is coming back but in the end it depends on what Detroit wants. He might be an instant millionaire, thats kind of tough to turn down. Tim saying he wants to bring in a goalie makes me think there is a huge question mark on Darling.
Nyquist made giant leaps from freshman to sophomore year. Sure, he wuz crafty his first year, but his physical toughness and mental toughness improved a lot this year. He makes that same jump from soph to junior year and he's gonna be extra fun to watch....can u say back to back hobeys ??I think he'll be back for 1 more also. My feeling is that Detroit is liking his development so far. One more year at this level then to the AHL for 2 then to the show. That's kinda typical of Detroit.
I don't think the Darling situation will be known for a few months if he's in treatment right now. Tim needs to proceed as if he's not coming back. If he does then bonus.
Two home to NoDak, two away at MSU (rumor has it they are on a Thursday, Friday as MSU has a football game on Sat. and so does Mich.) Florida tourney should be the best one with Cornell, SCSU and Miami. Other ooc will likely be the Portland game.
