Thanks for the highlight reel.

Looking at the highlights and career shooting %, it doesn't look like Dano will be a sniper of any significance.

What? Dano hits the post and makes a good move/shoots 5 hole then you think he won't be a sniper. Talking about jumping to conclusions way too early.

Side note: Morin looked solid and Goose was active.

Just doesn't find the back of the net.

Great article on Schmaltz taking the next step and becoming the next top young gun on the Hawks.

Thanks for posting that. Really hoping the Hawks sign him at the conclusion of his season.

Schmaltz sophmore year at UND (so far) 20games : 1.3 PPG
Toews sophmore year at UND 34 games : 1.35 PPG

I like the way he's pacing

Schmaltz goal in a tuneup game for WJC:

Reading threw peoples posts who saw the game said Schmaltz's line was the best and was consistently generating chances.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Pretty sick wrist shot.

 

[clydesdale line]

Looks like Hartman is gonna be joining Dano in the suspension line according to Dent. Had a stupid check to the head penalty.

Hinostroza has been really good the past couple of games. Night and day. He and Morin have been the best players on the ice the past few games. Mo has a 5 game point streak in fact.

I liked the schmaltz pick when we took it, because I thought he had one of the higher ceilings in the draft and had faith in UND to make him work. His freshman year was ok, but he has really taken off this year. Boeser also pretty much finishes everything that is sent his way so that doesn't hurt. Schmaltz actually said in an interview that watching Max Domi at the WJC was one of the things that helped him work on not taking a shift off.

 

[BK]

UND does a great job of building fundamentals. Some of their players fizzles out because the drive is not there (Frattin should be better than he has shown).

Q spoke about Morin the other day in a positive manner and I was surprised. Q said consistency is the only thing holding him back. Maybe he will get a shot soon.

This is why I alwyas chuckle a bit when people say he can't score goals and/or doesn't have a good shot.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Hartman suspended three games for a hit to the head.

Pretty good article from Kuc about Dano.
Nothing out of the ordinary but there are from quotes from Dano, Q, and Stan

Olofsson and Forsling in action with Sweden against Canada right now. 1-1 after one period.

Hartman suspended three games for a hit to the head.

Similar to Shaw he is going to have some dumb moves.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Was watching a post-game interview with Hartman (Icehogs upload them all to their Youtube if you guys are interested)
Apparently, he leads the league in minor penalties lol

I like the edge, but he needs to reel that in a little bit. There's being edgy and there's being stupid and costing your team too many shorthanded situations.

Olofsson did not make the final cut for Team Sweden ...so omly Forsling to cheer for there. From what I saw of the final pre-tournament game ,Olofsson was used only a few minutes after period one and was limited to 4th line role and some pk ....if he was going to make the team it appears he would only be a limited role player anyway...Obviously they were giving higher drafted picks,returning vets and potential first rounders for this 2016 draft the more featured roles..

Disappointing but not a huge surprise. Like you said, his minutes and role were limited and that's a team loaded with high end talent.

 

[JLarucci23]

Looks like Forsling was injured during the Canada exhibition game. Hopefully he can still play in the tournament.

 

[Blue Liner]

I don't see a single Canadian line this US fourth line matches up against.

Still don't like some of the roster decisions and talent left off the US roster.

 

[Blue Liner]

US beats Canada 4-2. Great game by Alex Nedeljkovic in goal and all around strong team game.

Schmaltz with a nice game, as well. Held off the score sheet but made some nice plays and had a nice game defensively. Strong on the forecheck and caused a couple of turnovers. Good start for the US.
