Verhoeff obviously took the stick to the nuts, announcers are braindead

Ivankovic with some big stops for Michigan. 3-1 Michigan over Penn State after 2

If they have another disappointing season again next year, then yes. But it's not like all of Malhotra, Shilov, Glance, Schairer, C. Meyer, Scantlebury, Wassilyn will all just decommit based on 1 bad season. Open to be proven wrong of course

Only 5-7 of those potential incoming recruits are actually ready to play. I'm guessing they'll bring in 6 or 7 freshmen.

He'll need a full year if not 2 full years down in the A before seeing significant NHL time. Probably should stay another year in the NCAA IMHO

Hutson and Boisvert sign, McCarthy potentially signs as well. Would expect them to lose 3-5 in the portal

One of the most disappointing seasons relative to expectations in recent memory. Crazy

Potter was not a transfer. He was a flipped commit, he wanted to play in the NCAA as a 17 year old, Michigan State didn't want to burn their bridge with the NTDP to bring him in, he looked elsewhere, Arizona State gladly took him.

Specifically youth that isn't dominant all star talent right away. All of Amico (so underwhelming that he's back in junior), Murtagh, Fondrk, Trethewey, Vass have been disappointing in major part because they aren't elite & thus getting exposed. Boston University got so desperate that they had to bring Lawrence in early, and he's just been ok. While some of the recent Michigan teams obviously didn't win the National Championship, a lot of their young talent was elite enough to come in as young freshmen and succeed to large degrees. Same goes for Celebrini, Cooley, Sanderson, etc. Non elite junior players aren't good enough to come into the NCAA as 18 or even 19 year olds the vast majority of the time.

I don't even think he's not panning out, he's about what we expected for 18 year old rookie in the Dub, but with the rules change, there's just so many more great players you can bring in immediately. With Jackson/staff wanting O'Neill to develop another year in junior so he would be ready once he got to campus, he wasn't willing to do that, so they mutually parted ways it seems. Sucks, but that's life in the new NCAA Hockey world where the talent pool is so much better & deeper. O'Neill will be a solid NCAA player at a place like St Thomas, Colorado College, Miami, Augustana, but it may take him a bit to have that success since he's likely not fully ready for the jump up from junior to the NCAA

😂😂

S*** like this is what you get when your athletic department has been extremely indifferent towards hockey for 20 years. The Hastings hiring was a deviation, but clearly hasn't gotten them good enough results

Gophers finish 11-22-3, their worst season since 1971-72 when Ken Yackel took over for Glen Sonmor midseason and they went 8-24. Wild

Helluva pass by McKenna

Christian Humphreys (2006, formerly Michigan, now Kitchener Rangers, Pittsburgh PA) commits to Minnesota. Very solid for them

Ruck Twins pure domination. Would imagine most of the blue bloods/notable programs have been in consistent contact with them

Vaclav Nestrasil Sr is getting word out to more & more Czechs about the benefits of NCAA Hockey, and we're seeing more Czechs go to the NCAA now

Would hope Chyzyk/Jackson are in on the Ruck Twins (2008). Both are tearing up the Dub for Medicine Hat as 17 year olds.

Robert Morris goaltender Charlie Schenkel in net for the win. OHLer, he's used to getting shelled in junior. Props to him for the dub

Such a deep team this year. Even when it feels like they take the period off, they're just one good shift away from putting one in the back of the net. Last year, felt like they had a lot of talent but couldn't generate much in terms of dangerous chances. Just so much deeper, mature, and dangerous offensively.

Swanson heating up to end the season, love it

Guevin gooning it up

BOOM

Reschny is so good
