Wolanin getting claimed by Buffalo was a real slap in the face for the messiah of Saint Cloud, Jimmy Schuldt. After hearing for years about how he was a can't miss NHL free agent, he has a grand total of one game played.
We've had plenty of mid and late rounders that don't work out. Yon was rated C, never got drafted and did nothing in 4 years. Hopefully some of them raise their stock over the year.
Motzko saying that against any other opponent wouldn't be as big of a deal, but to insult his former program and the brother of one of his current players is incredibly poor form. Anyone worried that they wouldn't hate the Gophers as much with Lucia gone breathes a sigh of relief!
I was unhappy at first mainly because I didn't think he was ready, but also selfishly since we got burned and could have grabbed another player out of the portal if he signed in April. Clearly I was wrong about his place in the NHL. Still stings but definitely not "addition by subtraction" as was said by some here in the heat of the moment.
.....Who is Tommy?
It's a casual observation based on a few years of seeing you harp on individuals. To your credit the coaches seem to feel the same way and they've often transferred out.
Didn't get to watch until the last few minutes, was it audible from the broadcast? One of our players taunted the student section after the final whistle.
We arguably did the best of any team in year one of instant eligibility in the portal, hopefully we keep it up. ND, BC and Quinny are the only others that did as well.
My point was they offered the older brother hoping it would help get the blue chip younger sibling a la Michigan with Luca Fantilli. Hopefully Omaha honors their original offer.
Was Siebell good enough to consider as a transfer down the road? Oddly that's a question to consider with the new transfer rule. USA hockey goalie of the year is no easy feat.
