The fact that he blames him for ending his career when he was traded and given an opportunity with another team seems a little convenient to me. It's not like Commodore was a superstar or anything.

There are two sides to every story, and I guess those two know what went on between them, but this doesn't make Commodore look that great himself. By the way getting what he deserved is millions upon millions.

All I will say is that Philadelphia isn't exactly ripping it up now, and that is with a goaltender that is pretty decent. Hart hasn't been the issue like goaltending was last year for Philly.

Pecknold doesn't seem like a coach that would be high on my list, but then again there are a lot of successful coaches I could probably say that about.

...and sometimes it is hard to judge players that are on high scoring teams, and even lower scoring teams for that matter based on their stats. Gaber is pretty high in goal scoring in the USHL, but doesn't have many assists, so he isn't high in overall scoring. Sometimes secondary assists are meaningless, but on high scoring teams there are probably going to be a lot of assists out there that might fall under the meaningless category. That is going to be the case in a lot of circumstances, but it is another reason that stats don't always tell the story of a player. It could work the other way though, if a team is scoring tons, and you are the only player that doesn't benefit from that, it could possibly say something.

Looks like Sam Hentges is the new go to guy for St. Cloud. Let's shut him down and get to Hrenak early. We have seen that Hrenak can steal games, so stop him from gaining any confidence.

To be fair Tim Hennessey has intimated the same things on a consistent basis. Both he and Ralston continually ripped on people that questioned Rudy and Shaw. The ironic part is that the head coaches in both sports must have had the same conclusions.

...and, or the Titans.

I would rather hang in the weeds longer and not have the target on our backs so early. Keeps the guys looking up. For some programs being ranked #1 is a carrot to help in recruiting, but I don’t think that should be an issue for us. I won’t be preoccupied until January when the Pairwise starts to mean something.

Jackson Kunz and Jake Schmaltz with goals tonight for Green Bay. Is Kunz just filling in during a break at Shattuck, or did he leave Shattuck?

Been a fan a long time, but one wouldn’t have had to be a fan long to remember the team we had three years ago that was loaded up and down the lineup. This team is doing quite well, and has the makings of a very good team, but we still aren’t even near Christmas, and we know how other teams get mocked for their first half mythical championship.

Some of it is that, and some of it is just finishing better and getting a few more breaks.

So, we are winning more and all of a sudden they have more good players than you can remember? Were you saying the same things last year, because a good many of the players were here last year.

I agree, everybody that thought Denver was unbeatable and are so positive now will sing a different tune if we give that all back this weekend against a desperate St. Cloud team. Need the players to have that same killer instinct they had this past weekend. Hopefully they know they can take one more step in carving out a bit of history for themselves by sweeping St. Cloud, then Alabama Huntsville and get the longest home winning streak in the new Engelstad.

Rizzo and Gaber with game winning O.T. goals last night for their teams.

They are most likely going to get a top pick, but the spot isn't guaranteed, so why not play hard and let the chips fall where they may.

What does that accomplish?

If Pinto was on the line, it could be the Coast to Coast line with him being from New York and Kawaguchi from BC. It almost would apply with Adams from Michigan, but even more so for the coast to coast on the ice.

You should fly Allegiant, according to the 60 Minutes segment a while back they don't worry about mechanical issues.

So is this the way going forward for the program? I realize you need to cut bait at certain points, but then don’t be so eager to take verbals so early on marginal players. I get that after Potulny you don’t want to lose local talent, but this isn’t a good look either. Thought Randklev would be a good college player with his skill set, but I would guess he’ll land somewhere and have the opportunity to prove them wrong, if it wasn’t his decision. Would be nice if Schlossman has some insight into the trend.

If I recall correctly he was a walk on like Matt Henderson.

Let’s also not forget that UND has a history of guys that were not highly sought after, that were cornerstones to Championship teams. Yes, they were supplemented with some high end players, but sometimes those guys became the high end players while highly touted recruits didn’t pan out. Guys like Panzer, Sykes, Henderson, Gaarder, Caggiula, and even Sanderson have been huge at tournament time. Some of these guys are probably similar to these guys in that they won’t be starting out with high scholarship dollars, some maybe only books, so they will need to prove themselves to gain more scholarship money.

Didn’t he also say something in the article about what the guys would think about something that had no diagnosis. I am sure fans questioning him didn’t make it easier to say he has this problem that can’t be identified.

Not the people that thought he shouldn’t be on the team.

Was going to say the same thing. I remember the DU announcers lamenting the fact that they couldn't muster any kind of attack against us last year, but when they did, they finished . Hopefully we have more people that can finish this year too. Of course it all depends on who has guys take the next step. DU I'm sure will have a few like Stapely and Guttman, and hopefully guys like Adams and Mismash continue their progression as well.
