Please share the name of the dispensary where you are getting those edibles.

That’s where you are wrong…

No, we don’t, not like that kid. And I wouldn’t count all our players as “in” just yet.

Agreed. Why wait to “fix the culture”? PK sucked all year. That was Jackson’s responsibility. What changes did he make to improve it? And to defend Berry, rare here, unlike football & basketball, HC in hockey does not do the bulk of the recruiting, it is the asst coaches. So if these past players were soft, or not as talented, or weren’t Sioux to the core, Jackson was the head offensive recruiter. What is going to change with his *new* culture. Was he not recruiting these type of players the last 5+ years? I’m here with all of you, so I love UND & Sioux hockey & want it to be the best program in the country. FULL stop. But, when I have had to fire bad managers/employees, there is always one Eddie Haskel chirping “I knew Larry wasn’t doing his job! He was a bad leader. Etc, etc.” I always ask, what did YOU do to fix things? And why didn’t you tell me this before we fired Larry?? It’s always too convenient to blame the guy that took the bullet in the head. The Merchant Marine’s moto is “Acta non Verba”, which means deeds, not words. Sums it up for me.

Lost Ralph to Michigan State.

Yea, 100%. No bueno on Whitelaw. I am talking about not giving Herter a shot at the head coach position. The AD wouldn’t wait for the frozen four tournament to be over so that we could conduct real interviews, face-to-face, with all available & interested candidates.

Exactly. But we didn’t want Herter here. 🙄

100% correct. Not interested.

That Celebrini kid helped too. Just sayin.

In order, #1, #2 & #3, Herter, Herter, Herter. Definitely ready. Minnetonka coach told him to go to U Show this season because MN H.S. was going to be too slow for him. Looks like he was right. Although that coach would never admit it, because the Skipper faithful would protest at his house. 😂

My source said keys for him will be if UND hires a big name offensive coordinator (he's not a fan of Smaby, played against his USHL team this season), and if they are going to leave him in Chicago for another season. Bad team, old rink & not a lot of options for next season. Don't blame the kid. On the Chicago Steel part. To be clear.

Not a portal player, but a very big concern, hearing from a good source in Minnetonka that Ashton Schulz is reconsidering his commitment. He is the best player on a really crappy Chicago Steel team. In 58 games he put up 15g 24a 39pts. Watched him a lot during "the season" at Minnetonka, team that produced a ton of D 1 players. Really good 2 way center, excellent penalty killer, great set up guy. He would be a big loss, and this would be a bad message around "the State of Hockey".

He played on the Shattuck team that won back to back Natty's last year, and was roommates with Zellers....

Agree on the public talking points message. But critical for the program: the assistant coaches. Those picks are going to be the linchpin for more players hitting the portal & keeping recruits. We have 0% dynamic offensive coaching experience as of today. Multiple opinions/rumors/plain B.S. on here which coach was really running the offense lately, no matter your opinion, we are a 1,000 miles from the "Speed Kills" offensive teams that won championships. Unless Jackson is going outside "the family", the current rumored coaches are not going to cut it. Smaby had no offense to his game, neither does his current USHL team. Simpson, yes, but still a dman. Karl ran the PP, fired him. Chyzk, maybe, but outside of Sioux fans, do recruits/portal players know him or his reputation? I'm not sure. Looking at that line-up sheet with all those holes, it has got to be a BIG name with serious offense street cred. to keep what's left and bring in goal scorers.
