So between @scpa0305, @Irish & myself, we counted 10 observed issues with the team, but I'll also add an 11th: a certain player who can be productive at times, but more often than not has the effect of dead weight on the team. Yet despite all these glaring issues, the HC focuses on the goalies of all things. This just goes to show how totally divorced from reality he is. Either that or he's being disingenuous because he doesn't want to address the real issues. These 10+ issues on this team will not be resolved over the next 2 months, because to do so would require the skills & insight of another coach. The most productive thing that can be done isn't on the ice at REA right now, but in the AD's office by assembling a list of 5 viable candidates to be the next one in charge.

meh, media guys have been cucks for years now.... only read for entertainment, not revelations or controversy.

not to mention the amount of players that are completely lost on the ice, at times. how many times is 25 gonna do nothing while an opposing player scores?

The bold part - over and over and over again. No fix in sight. With our facilities, training, nutrition, and equipment it is amazing that we are so soft and weak on the puck and in front of the net. And although it can't be fixed by training what is going on with our passing? I've never seen a team supposedly on a high level that can't make any adjustments to fix defects.

May as well include...unable to play a complete game, questionable line-ups, the defense regressing, no identity, undisciplined play. The team had a closed-door meeting late last year to address the problems they were having. Supposedly tough questions were asked, but it was never mentioned if any answers were found. Obviously, there weren't. Makes one wonder what was discussed.

That’s the article huh…out of all the things that could be published. We’re challenging the goalies? Who cares if we play one, or both goalies. It doesn’t appear goaltending is this team’s issue at all. As noted before, I don’t believe it’s a strength, but our issue is special teams, puck possession, and goal scoring.

A lot of good kids are coming out of that school again. Really missing that JP Parise pipeline.

I feel a great deal has to do with coach Hutter. One example Hurst our 4 star recruit under Mal was starting over the past 2 years. She plays zero defense and if she isn't hitting multiple 3s total liability. This year she doesn't see the playing floor. Why the first two years did she play significant roles and this year nothing ? Guarantee coach Hutter put a end to it. If Mal saw it the first two years why did she keep playing her.

bad sign if Hennesey if ready to jump off the ship. He doesn't have many broadcast years left either. Going to be some big changes coming all around soon I'd think....

Totally agree...it is electric when we play there

IMO his biggest impact has been team culture and experience with how to run a successful program. The team seems to play more together and is more bought in.

Tough to tell. He has the experience that I would think would be very helpful. As long as the coaching staff gets along with each other.

We’ve become all too good at doing that in the National tournament as well!

It’s super early but how much of the what looks to be the start of a turnaround should be credited to Hutter? I feel like he has made an immense impact early.

I just root against DU and Minny when Sioux are off.

Is not having hockey this coming weekend better or worse than watching bad UND hockey?

Don’t see any media guys questioning the trajectory of the program

Us losing(on a bull$%!# offsides) doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great venue and host

We can’t all be as smart as you, who wanted Bubba over DeBoer and were quite happy with the selection of Chaves as AD. When can we fire you?

Cooper Soler Need to get the SSM pipeline back up

Mentioned in another thread, but Minot kid Colin Grubb is having a good start to the year with Shattuck 16U. A teammate of his, Brenden Soller has got to be on a ton of radars as well. LA kid, so wouldn't shock me if he ended up in the valley of the sun.

His twitter says he still is and their line chart, so idk

I couldn't believe how empty it was. The last time I was in there before that was like 5 years ago and it was buzzin
