2 ticket packages in Section 113, Row C, seats 21 & 22.

That was kind of my point, that to me Poolman isn’t saying all the right things like the poster said. To me the semantics don’t matter much anyway. Show me, don’t tell me. We have had way too much talk lately, and not enough action.

I think the top half isn’t good enough. They need to finish top 2 in the league. Other teams are losing guys, so just getting home ice should only be a goal along the way to a high league finish for a program like ours.

Which recruit?

On GPL they are talking about a tweet from Joe Meloni that Westin Michaud of CC will graduate and still have eligibility, and that no decision has been made where he will play. If I were Berry, I would explore that, as with his numbers he would have been our leading scorer. No more Mr. nice guy, we need an experienced scorer.

I agree. Like I said, I can see shifting scholarship money if you think a guy can help you immediately, but to make the wholesale changes doesn't make sense. All those guys would need to learn the systems, which is a recipe for a slow start. I know, I know, the systems might change some anyway, but just familiarity of what to expect in certain arenas and being comfortable in the school and hockey mix all play a factor in a smooth transition to the college level.

So if it is him that is stifling the offense with his schemes and such, what good does it do to throw more last minute recruits into the situation? We have always had role players that didn’t score a lot, but the first few lines put up decent numbers. It seems to me that many of the role players are fulfilling their roles about as good as some of the guys expected to score. Definitely need more scorers, but not usually a quick fix, especially when you want them now.

So we get rid of 4 or 5 more guys, then bring in more dime a dozen guys late in the game with 4 years of eligibility and hope these last minute pick ups will be the answer for us. Then when they aren’t, rinse and repeat. I have more faith in making some changes within the schemes and special teams and get a few more goals to put us over the top, hoping that a few of the freshmen can step up and the other guys make the next step. A game here or there changes a lot of people’s opinion of this team, as evidenced by all the if’s thrown out there concerning pairwise.

What USA team do you coach so we can scutinize the lineup?

Wow, just wow! Point out guys like that who are available for next year. .

...and we know all transition well to college hockey both offensively and defensively!

If there are players that they could get that will be ready to contribute right away, then by all means tweak the roster or scholarships. I just don’t see wholesale changes helping a team that needs scorers. There usually aren’t a ton of guys this late in the game that are going to give you immediate impact, and our problem very well be that they might give you more offense but give up as many the other way. If they can find a grad transfer or someone that has great potential, by all means tweak the roster.

Yes, by all means let’s start over next year with 10 new forwards, that’s a recipe for success.

You are not going to get production by everyone you bring in next year, even if you cut all those players and replace them. We may not have won the National Championship in 2016 if we cut non producers like Coltyn Sanderson and Colton St. Clair.

Have all of Miami recruits signed their letters of intent?
