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.

Didn’t they change the rules this year where grabbing the facemask isn’t an automatic five? If you watch that play, Kernan didn’t tug on it and actually tried to disengage.

It’s like we went back to the first night against Duluth. Just like with Duluth, you need to deny the cross ice passes, but we allowed it time and again. How did we go from the defensive game last weekend to this? Thought Keaton would have learned that throwing it up the center of the ice like he was criticized for in the World Juniors can possibly cost you a championship down the road. Two more huge turnovers up the gut tonight. Don’t want to be too critical of him, as even Emery almost got burned by leaving a guy totally alone in front of Homer to engage on the boards when everyone else was already there. Lot of defensive breakdowns tonight. Hopefully they can get back to how they played against Denver. We won, which is great to say when you have an off night on the defensive side of things.

“Always” being a whopping 2 game series last year.

Yeah, and it wasn’t easy when you were younger pushing that triple-wide shovel, especially pushing a ton of snow with it.

Even back in the day the Grand Forks teams could compete with top Minnesota teams. If memory serves, when Minnesota was one class, Roseau won the state title and only lost 2 games all year, one to Red River, the North Dakota state champion. Chris Gotziaman and Billy Lund were on Roseau that year, and Blais was head coach. Was the Corey Campbell and Chad Skarperud team for Red River.

Would imagine he will be taking Strinden’s #21, and most likely will be on the top power play unit as well. He seems to be doing really well on the power play for Youngstown.

It’s just that yours are wrong the majority of the time, and they surprisingly are right when the news comes out elsewhere before.

Gibson Homer!

What are you a 2 year old? I was for Central, but I can be objective. Was Moorhead jobbed when Mickelson was called for retaliation after the Central player was holding him?

It wasn’t out of nowhere. Every time a penalty is called against your team it never seems to be warranted. Nevermind the fact Central had all the power plays up until then.

I think Minnesota was in the recruiting mix as well, and probably would have a decent chance of playing right away there.

Probably people clinging to “back in the day” pricing to determine if they still want to give a place their business.

Haven’t seen him play, so not sure it is fair to judge his offensive output because Fargo hasn’t been an offensive juggernaut. I’m sure the coaches have been able to monitor his play often.

Interesting that 2009 Ludovic Perreault has 12 goals & 22 points in 41 games on the same team as fellow 2009 Eli McKamey, who has 1 goal & 6 points in 27 games. Don’t know if the injury is still holding back McKamey or not, but interesting stats. I know Perreault was one of Schlossman’s top 20 recruits list from Canada to watch this past August.

Would be interesting to know if he would agree to that, or go play with his brother at CC. I believe CC was one of the teams he was considering before committing to UND. If you’re not dominating at the current level, why rush it though.

Makes sense.

Going to miss all the business when UND makes the Frozen Four in Vegas in April. Really, Vegas has become so expensive that they are chasing people away.
