OT: 2020-2021 NCAA Hockey Thread

[57special]

Koster looks good. The Gophers were a bit too cute at times, but they were way too much to handle for an undermanned MI squad. The shots were even, like last night, but wasn't indicative of the play, IMO.

Ben Meyers has been pretty impressive.. Wouldnt mind seeing the Wild sign him after the season.

Wouldn’t mind seeing him play all the way through.

 

[MuckOG]

Wouldn’t mind seeing him play all the way through.

In a perfect world, I would to. My guess is that teams are going to push hard to sign him this summer, though. Especially if he continues playing like he has been.

Good game tonight UND and UMD. Go Bulldogs, but I bet UND wins it.

Going to miss it as I have to coach. With that said go UND

Nesterenko with a couple nice assists and McBain with a nice secondary.

That pass isn't something that you see from freshman

It’s a weird pass. And his reaction after was odd too. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, that he tried it, but that soft a pass, surrounded by so many defenders, hmmmm.

Was thinking the same thing. Seems more like a whiff on a shot

There's zero backswing or follow through.

Marshall Warren with the 3 vs 3 OT winner

Yeah, that’s a pass.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Just look at his body language and the way he looks like he is gonna load up for a shot and then it just doesn’t happen. Maybe he is doing a fake shot pass, but it does look like a whiff and just right time right place.

 

[MuckOG]

All 3 Gophers made the cut

It is a weird looking pass, so I can see the idea that it didn't happen exactly as planned, but there's no chance that he was trying to shoot that puck. No idea what you're talking about with the "body language" but he doesn't square his body to shoot, doesn't take any backswing, and has zero follow through.

 

[chchelseII]

I actually think McBain’s pass is better. Nesterenko’s back hand sauce on the first Hlusko goal was sweet.

You don’t need a backswing to shoot the puck, it’s the bunting technique where you just bunt at it into the net. Not super powerful but quality snap shot with accuracy. You don’t need to square your body to shoot always but as he was coming in he was squared up to the net and his weight shifted to his right foot which looked a lot like a quick little snap shot that just rolled off his heel wrong and made for a whiff of a good pass.

zero chance that was a shot attempt.

Nick Swaney is going to be a great third liner

 

[MuckOG]

Nick Swaney is going to be a great third liner

In the AHL or NHL?

 

[Sens]

In the AHL or NHL?

NHL... he’s fantastic defensively and he has the ability to contribute 35 points.

 

[57special]

Mebbe...and he could be better defensively, worse offensively, Justin Fontaine.

 

[GordieGallant]

I like Swaney' game. He will have to prove himself in the AHL but he has a lot of heart and I would never count him out.

 

[Sens]

Mebbe...and he could be better defensively, worse offensively, Justin Fontaine.

I think Fontaine was a decade before his time... if he was 27 today I think he’s similar to Rocco Grimaldi
