…and if that’s all he did, why wouldn’t he talk to the ref about why he presumed he was ejected?

You mean Carson Carels! Fingers crossed.

So you’re arguing for players to keep commitments under wraps until the end of the season.

I think it might be more of what it does to a team dynamic. Probably is known anyway, but if the team struggles people could sometimes wrongly theorize that everyone isn’t all in. I think Perron was already at Michigan at Christmas last year.

Yeah, if you believe their announcers we were warned time and again the night prior before they gave us a bench minor, so you would think Powers would argue why does he get booted without a warning. Still not buying it.

A handful or so of one or two year high NHL draft picks isn’t a cure for being young every year.

I’ll take “Predictable excuses” for 1000 Alex!

I bet Powers has this problem too!

I bet Powers will say he thought he was kicked out.

So he didn’t have to shake our coaches hands. Like I said, glad Arizona State signed him to an extension because any coach that can’t accept the other team outplayed his and needs to use refs as an excuse will have a team that isn’t accountable either.

Depends on what you mean by playing a full 60. They didn’t play well, with mistakes for a period or so, but I think the effort was there. Every team is going to have lapses and poor play, but for the most part it wasn’t like Arizona State was all over us.

Maybe, the announcers said Portland, but maybe they were wrong since he was drafted there.

Watching Hockey Day in Minnesota, and very impressed with Maverick McKinnon. For a freshman, he is very poised. Be interesting to see how he does with Portland in the WHL next year.

Perhaps we know where their announcers get it. Don’t think 5100 people saw it that way, because I still couldn’t tell with replays. The contact to the head of the UND player was much more obvious, and UND received a penalty for calling that out. Personally, I am glad that Powers signed an extension, because I think they could get a really good coach that would really put them over the top with some recruiting advantages.

Funny how when Reschny barking at the refs was whining and was due the penalty he got because they were warned, but later when ASU was barking from the bench and penalty box they didn’t mention the thought of an unsportsmanlike conduct was due to be called.

How great of a pick up was Rickwood in the portal? Was showing his worth early in the year with his experience and faceoff ability, but he has taken it to a new level after Christmas and really since coming back from his injury. Love his game, so unselfish.

Would love to see the Jets get Keaton Verhoeff or even Carson Carels if he decides to come here. I have a feeling the Jets will find a little steam and not finish quite that low though.

If coaching was good you can turn around things fast, but that assumes holding on to the talent you do have, players making steps from their current games, and actually showing a little character and passion. Don’t know if accelerating certain talented recruits will help in the short term, as experience means something, especially on the back end.

Yeah, hopefully he and Strinden can get back on a roll through the National Championship game!

Would think they will try to improve NIL to try lure some. The Big Ten itself will help a bit, but yeah they are behind other teams for Canadian talent.

I worry about ASU getting real cheap tomorrow. Powers’ teams have had that penchant in the past.

Does anyone know their background in hockey? They come off as the casual fan that is looking for a penalty any time a player is hit and falls down. Not saying that was the case with the Strathmann hit, but I watched it several times and couldn’t come to a concrete conclusion either way.

Denver at 13 and St. Cloud at 15. Huge game for both tomorrow.

Would have loved to hear from Jackson on the postgame show on the radio. Maybe he has more to say to his guys in a game like this which didn’t allow much time.

So Wiebe gives up a breakaway goal to make it 6-4, then when they are ahead 7-4 he remains down deep in the offensive end with only a couple minutes left. All around bad night for the defense.
