Wilbur

Could the North Stars just come out for the Wild in the third period?

Well, and add to that he had Nick Saban as a coach so you know he hasn't been coached at all.... Green Bay will win the division anyways. I think Lacy is a steal where they got him.

And the pack gets Lacy anyways. They just got better on offense....did they need to get better?

I'm happy overall with the picks. Had to get a kick returner, had to get a big body to play next to Kevin in the middle. I'm just terrified about the linebacker situation. Guess there is a lot of draft to go, but I was surprised that of the three picks not one was a linebacker.

Lacy is a dude. Absolute dude. If the Vikes didn't have AP I'd be screaming at them for passing on him. Watch the SEC championship and the national championship game and tell me he wasn't the best player on the field.

Either works, but I think #2 may take my heart a bit more.

Might be impossible to get the puck to the net with Trouba and Jensen together.

When I was a college student I went home every summer, and basically did nothing but work, drink, and softball. I had some friends that were on the UND football team that went home and basically lifted on their own with a team prescribed plan, but didn't get back to GF until fall ball started. Would like to see a united group stick in Grand Forks for the summer, and come August be well ahead of where they started last year.

Believe the only game that they lost when he scored a goal was his last game ever for North Dakota.

Hmmm....I wonder why they have so much success? Bohl does such a remarkable job of having such a united team. A former student of mine plays for him and just beams about him. They truly all play for the one greater cause than themselves. I'd like to see that become a policy for the UND football team as well. Part of you being on the football team is staying around with the group in the summer time to get better together.

I go over to GPL for a laugh. Although sadly this forum at time resembles gpukelive more than we'd like.

From the highlights as well saw some good poise from the QBs. Although it may be easy to have more poise when you know you're not going to get hit at all. Hanson looks so small on the video. Glad they've got a Grafton kid on the roster, but probably won't see the field with who is ahead of him.

Just watched the highlight package put together at undsports.com. Wow did #19 have himself a day. We've been hearing all day about how he amazed today, and those highlights back it up every bit. They need to get that young man the football as much as possible.

Where did they use Golladay the most? The slot or on the outside? Hardin just kind of go through the motions today?

Nice recap. Do you think the offense will be better than last season?

I guess I really don't care who the QB is if he can effectively get the football to our outstanding receiving group.

I haven't followed this spring that closely, but I guess I'm either: A) Upset that Mollberg hasn't really pulled away in the QB competition from Bartels B) Thrilled that Bartels is at the level of Mollberg and will be pushing him for time this next season. Which one is it?

I'm not worried about the goaltending next year, but I think you need to bring in a kid that competes for the spot. Zane or Clark will be the guy, likely Zane. But I'd hate to see a situation where say Zane gets hurt, Clark is in there and can't stop a beach ball. Everyone remembers what happened way back when when Ryan Sofie was put into a game. Did alright, but not a college level goaltender. I'd like to have three goaltenders that can play at any time. Wouldn't mind a Brandt-Parise-Lamoureax scenario.

No goaltender talk, but another will be needed. I'm watching a NAHL playoff game right now between Minot and Austin, and the goaltender for Minot is a big athletic kid that is backwards, but takes up a lot of net. Last name is Parks, don't believe to be any relation to Mike Parks, but I've been impressed with what I've seen from him. Nice to have a guy like Tate, but at the same time it'd be nice to have three guys capable of playing at any moments notice. Likely won't be this Parks kid, but I wouldn't mind see them bringing in a kid that will compete right away.

I'm talking has gotten better from what was already exceptional. Thompson may be the best skater on the team next season, Rocco included.

Agreed. I think LaDue will play above being a Freshman next season. Give Thompson a year or two, and he'll be the best defenseman on the team. I'm excited to see if his skating ability has improved since the last time I saw him live. Of all the players in that group I think Thompson is the one with the most talent.

As a former coach in the North Dakota hockey world I wish coach Bina well. Tremendous person, absolutely tremendous. Yeah he had his run ins with players/parents, but what coach doesn't? Wonder who the next coach will be. Nick Fuher?

Gage Ausmus is an East Grand Forks kid who originally was headed to Denver, but backed out after Gwoz got the boot. Good defenseman, a nice addition if he indeed makes his way home.

Yup, thats where I got my start at. Loved visiting that site.

I was there too. Along with my dad.....and Sacred Heart.....and Goldy.
