You lose half your team it’s tough, especially all your top scorers. The transfers will have to be huge if we are going to contend, but I imagine chemistry will take time.

So maybe the University should wait until late August to renew season tickets so the fanbase can make decisions in their best interests. You lose your #1 Center this late is going to be tough. Being strong down the center is huge and losing all that we lost besides, we could be fighting for home ice.

Had they committed to come back?

Hopefully we get another Connor Gaarder as a late add.

I don’t think Michigan succeeding is as important as the players succeeding when they get to the next level.

Aren’t they planning something like this south of KingsWalk? Is it hard to mitigate against a huge mosquito breeding ground?

True, Duluth is looking for a few Good Old Boys bandwagon hoppers.

Sympl anser, I assume it would have to be Goehring since he only won one as a player. Both Jackson and Herter won as assistant coaches but not as players.

Which begs the question of why you quit as associate head coach of a championship team and then join as assistant coach at a less successful team. Was there something behind the scenes, or did he miss hockey and want to come back? Edit. The story said he quit to pursue pro scouting to spend more time with family. Maybe his kid/kids have moved on to college now.

I got the shot, but they keep changing the goalposts. So, being that some aren’t getting it, should they cancel college sports again to protect everyone?

Just wear a mask to get us through this. Just take a shot to get us through this. Just wear a mask to go along with your vaccination. Just get the booster shot and wear a mask...

Well, at the very least we know that gfhockey has Shaugabay as a Blue Chippah, so we have a means of comparison in the future.

There is a consensus on complaining. Not enough to do for young people, don't get good enough recruits. Why can't we have this, Why can't we have that? You can never please that crowd because that is their joy in life.

Looks like Shaugabay committed to Duluth as well. I thought I had heard that he was a big fan of North Dakota.

Should we expect a rash of commitments around the country on August 1st, or will some coaches be a little tentative since Covid shut down getting a firsthand look at those that become eligible to recruit on that date.

Where are the reporters that tried to shame Rahm because he hadn’t been fully vaccinated when he was forced to withdraw from the Memorial tournament now that he already had Covid and has been fully vaccinated?

Where did Kiersted and Stecher go?

Well, how many years has their development on the south end been put on hold or abandoned? People bought townhomes there based on the proposed development.

Committee failed big time. To have a certain criteria and to come up with one of the most generic names really makes me wonder why you set criteria to begin with.

Right now 32nd avenue gets all the traffic from the south end trying to get on the interstate. They need something to take some pressure off that.

Too bad JT Miller probably won’t be available from Vancouver. I guess he could bring in Adam Tambellini from overseas.

Guessing if offered, Dane Jackson would have a tough time turning it down since it is the Northwest close to British Columbia where he was from.

Hopefully the expectation from the Seattle fans isn't to contend right away like Vegas did. I think most teams learned their lesson in that expansion draft and aren't going to give them a bunch of draft picks not to take a certain player. But Vegas did compete the first year by finding guys that fit a certain mold, then upped their game after that with all the picks they traded for more talent.

...and this Vegas team has their hands full with a team that has some old castoffs, that plays a defensive system and are in the mix for a cup. They and the Islanders are Cup contenders if they’ve come this far.

Remember how many were saying the coaches had to make room for Ryder Donovan at the expense of Judd Caulfield? Don’t know that was a big miss. At some point the coaches had to make the decision of who was more ready, and they chose Johnson. They will always be open to second guessing, but that is part of the job. I think they chose right in Caulfield’s case.
