Gotta have the horses to open it up. Hopefully they can get guys in the system that can skate and make plays at a higher speed. Didn’t see much of that in the lineup this last year and trying to run and gun with teams that do have that skill can be tough.
Thing they’ll miss most about Omac were his automatic zone entries. He was very slick thru the neutral zone.
What a disaster this program was over last year. My goodness.
Agree. If they are going to keep the HC in house, bring in at least one successful outside assistant that will offer a different perspective that won’t be a yes man. Herter has been around enough to know what works and what doesn’t. If he ultimately wants to be a HC himself, it ain’t happening at Western anytime soon.
Wilkie is a massive boat anchor to Omac and Boisvert. So many pucks died on his stick tonight. Gotta replace him on that line tomorrow.
Team doesn’t have much confidence, which was extremely evident in the 3rd. How do you “let off the gas” when your season is basically on the line? If you’re saying that as a collective effort then isn’t that an admission of guilt if you’re the head coach?
Yeah UND was the better team in the first two periods. They sat on the lead in the third like everyone knew they would. That’s on coaching. Got lucky tonight. Not much of a recipe moving forward.
UND has been the better team so far. Worried about the sit on a lead thing in the 3rd. Need wings to block shots. Omaha hasn’t generated anything low yet. They like to kick it up high and hope for a screen or a bounce.
