I would like to see the cup return tonight, too, but I would really like to be there to see the crowd give Ryan Duncan his last home cheer. I know that this team is not made up of individuals and that they succeed because of their overall strength, but he's been special, and I think the crowd will let him know it.
What about the other seniors, don't you think they also deserve a last home cheer?

And maybe there's more to the story we don't know. Maybe Kozek has been under the weather and is fatigued. Maybe he did something Hak felt was inappropriate. We can judge all we want, but the fact is...we don't know the entire story. As AZSioux said, Hak knows. It's his team to do what he wants with it. He always says guys earn ice time during the week of practice, and maybe Kozie didn't have the best week of practice.
All I'm wondering about is why don't they ever sit a player who is on the ice all the time and doesn't get nothing done. I did not ask you to make up a list of what could be wrong with Kozek.

i did watch it. maybe hes not playing because he wasnt contributng lately. i have no clue. i like kozek and root for him tons but im sure hak has his reasons. we need his shot and skills in this lineup vs gophers so hope this sparks him for next week. you only can sit 2 forwards per night with lammy out right now so im sure its a tough decision for hak
How can a player contribute if he only gets a couple of short shifts? And what about the players who are on the ice alot, shouldn't they contribute more?
-
feel bad because he isint contributing? its d-1 hockey. produce or sit and hak obviously had seen enough that he needs to try to light a spark under kozek again. he has the tools. lets hope this wakes him up
Did you watch the game last night? How can a player contribute if he hardly gets any icetime? He had 3 shifts in the 2nd period and maybe 4 shifts in the 3rd.
Have you looked at the stats as of Jan.2/2009? If you did, you would see how many goals Kozek has, and then have a look at some other players who get alot of icetime and don't have that many more goals or points. Those guys should be scoring, what's wrong with this picture? Maybe they should sit some of those guys and "try to light a spark" under them!

BECAUSE... i've been listening to people all season whine about him not on the top line. i agree he hasn't done anything all season (aside from his physical play) but earlier this season it was difficult for anyone to agree with me on that.... i want production and i think he's where he's at for a reason.
Why start picking on Kozek again, the game has not even started yet, give the guy a break.
Don't you have anything better to do?
-
After last night changes were in order. Kozek is lucky that he isn't watching this one.
Did you look at the box scores from last night? Kozek had 3 shots on goal, why blame one player and not the whole team?
What about the powerplay, they got nothing done AGAIN, doesn't that say anything?
They switched lines again today, and still nothing is happening.
-
could be 100 different things, bottom line is he looks lost to me on the ice.
Why pick on somebody's personal life, this has nothing to do with hockey. This is not just one guy, look at the whole team, what's wrong here. I was there last weekend, and it was pretty bad watching the powerplay.
-
Kozek looks extremely lost, I'm not sure if it's the baby or other things but if he doesn't find it soon he needs to be benched. The Sat game against AA I thought that the Martens, Lamoreux, Davidson line looked real good and was perhaps the best line of the night out there. I say play this line some more.
It doesn't matter if you have a child, that has nothing to do with it. Who says you can't play hockey if you're a Dad?

The thing is, the guys who you say have improved over the years, look better than they really are. They are just average college hockey players. If you take many other schools, their players develop into key players (sometimes stars) for their junior and senior years.
A lot of these guys look decent because we don't have anyone better than them. But they're not scoring or finishing because they just aren't that good.
Take Matt Watkins for example. He scored 74 points in 60 BCHL games as a junior. Freshman year he scored 9 points in 46 games. Did better his sophomore year to get 17 points in 38 games, then actually puts up less numbers his junior year with 18 points in 43 games. Let's we quadruple his stats for this year (which would be 44 games, which is more than what we can bargain for), and he'd finish with 12 points this year.
You can say we lost a lot of good talent, but these guys are supposed to improve and step up for their junior and senior years....not stay the same. Watkins isn't a guy we rely on to score, he's definitely more of a grinder, but if you can put up that many points in juniors, and by the time you are a senior at UND you are on pace to have 12 points? That's not good.
Martens may have been a walk on, but he did score 62 points in 60 games in the BCHL. He's a good player and definitely has improved. Still, he's not much to fear for opposing teams.
Kozek scored 97 points in a 60 game season of BCHL. Freshman year: 13 points. Sophomore year: 11 points. Junior year: 21 points (better). Senior year: On pace for 10-12 points.
Darcy Zajac: Frosh year: 10 points. Soph year: 8 points. Junior year: On pace for 10-11 points.
Brad Miller actually can be a bright spot. Freshman year: 0 points. Soph Year: 24 points (nice!). Junior year: 10 points. Senior year: On pace for 32 points (not bad).
Vande Velde scored 9 points his frosh year before a very nice year last year where he scored 32 points. This year, he's on pace for 25-26 points. Another slide.
Why aren't ANY of our seniors greatly improving over 4 years. Seniors are guys you should be able to turn to, to win games. Even Hak said the sophomores will be the key this year, because he knows the upperclassmen just aren't good enough...Duncan being an exception.
It's no surprise as to why we are not playing well. We just aren't that talented.
Maybe the seniors got so many points before they came here, because they got alot more icetime.
