If goalies are the heart and soul, does that mean the whole damn team has to be quirky weird? Cause you know . . . .

The appreciation we all feel for what Chyzyk has done for this program was earned. He has enabled a comeback. But there will be a tendency for us to think recruitment is the end-all. Great recruitment is necessary, and you can’t win a banner without elite scorers, but player development and high-end game coaching are just as necessary. That’s where decisions about “bottom six” players becomes so important. It’s really the “heart and soul” part of the equation. And if you doubt that, just ask burd; he’s just as clueless as the next guy.

Can’t say I don’t necessarily disagree with that. 😀

Do we pick spokespersons, or do we each just shout it out? MORE CHIPPAHS!! MORE GRINDAHS!! TEACH EM TO PLAY A FULL SIXTY!!! SHOOT THE EFFING PUCK!!! TEACH THEM TO STAY OUT OF THE EFFING BOX!!! GET BEMIDJI OFF THE EFFING SCHEDULE!!! MAKE gfhockey THE TEAM GURU!!!

😀

What we really need is a weekly zoom conference where Jax and staff get a chance to hear our advice. I’m sure they’ve never considered a lot of what we have to say.

Why would a first-rounder from a blue blood wait on a portal decision when top destinations are filling their roster holes? NIL negotiations?

The beauty of this post is its self-contained definition of what it means to bring nothing to the table. Other that a pushed-out-bottom-lip pout.

How are they sitting for faceoff artists next year? A big deal come playoffs

That was my thought. Whoever was running that PP needed to take control. But I didn’t mean to go woulda coulda shoulda on those kids. It’s done. They did their best—all we can ask. I’m pretty sure you feel that way too. They’ll be back, and we’re not going anywhere.

To make it insultingly worse, it was actually 5 on 2 for a time with UND in possession and a Badger player hurt, on his knees, and without a stick. A little like blowing a 4 on 0 breakaway.

Yeah. Does that speak to his utilization at both schools or his willingness to play D? Both, probably.

If I read the chart correctly. Zellers was +3 this year and Reschny was +13.

+/- numbers result from a number of factors, but does that positive rating suggest that, after he got to UMich, his defensive play was not that bad?

What was his +/- this year?
