Gophers won’t be as good as they were this year but they will be as good as us if not better when we play them. Still built to make the tourney. Have a solid D returning and Phillips coming on D. Offense will have Lamb and Ziemer returning. Grabbed what appears to be a good goalie from the portal. Plus with their big 10 money they may still pull a rabbit out of their hat to snag a player. Just because they lost studs doesn’t mean they will be slim pickings

Remember that one time we were ranked 6th preseason and didn’t even make the tournament? Oh wait that was last year

That combined with him working on his foot speed should allow us to see the Mac we were hoping for.

I think it’s brilliant. Those teams might take some lumps early on bringing in lower end CHL guys. But they are building pathways and connections to those programs and coaches that might give them the inside tracks to get better guys later on. Maybe it won’t be the super high end players, but they may end up snagging those diamond in the rough or late bloomer players that make a bigtime impact in college.

TJ played incredible the last 5-6 weeks, no doube about it. Leading up to that, Hobie and TJ had 2 very different leashes from the staff because it's safe to say TJ wasn't doing anything special for us the first half of the season. That being said we only got to see an hour of gametime for him each weekend so clearly the staff was seeing stuff in practice we aren't privy to. Either way, once Hobie is given the chance to take over consistently, he's going to succeed.

Cullen potter might have something to say about the fastest player argument but that’s not to say James isn’t one of the fastest

Haha. Thankfully we’ve got him until he experiences January in the red River valley. That’s when we should worry

The Herald article made it seem that way.

Pretty sure this guy is a troll. Guessing a St. Cloud or NDSU fan, who knows. My guess is that it’s actually RJ Enga because he’s still mad about the puck getting dropped closer to our guys and the shot clock not being properly updated. Kidding aside, everything he’s said has been negative in an inflammatory manner. Don’t get me wrong, we all get negative on here, but his level makes it seem like a phony.

Only four? You could probably double that without batting an eyelash.

Plus we have a couple already in Croal and Littler. It’s going to be fun seeing them develop under proper playing time. They will be terrors to play against: Littler with his size and Croal with his grit.

I think you’re a little confused about what I was saying which is understandable because tone can’t be gleaned online; unless you’re less worked up than it seems. Our top 4 this coming season will actually be very good and 5-7 D are good, too. So bringing in another top 4 portal D that would displace really good players that are our own (yes I know Zmolek was a portal 2 years ago) wouldn’t make a ton of sense when we have bigger fish to fry. Recruiting Pohlkamp last year vs recruiting Ashton this year are 2 very different scenarios. Our D corps going into last season was young and iffy (which was apparent most nights), so going into the portal for high end D was more necessary last year than this upcoming season.

I see what you did there
