Jack isn’t going to BU.

The only real consistency issue I see is the inconsistent offensive production. We just never know when it’s coming...

Not to my knowledge. He initially was just filling in as a practice goalie while Tomek was injured and when Tomek returned, let him stay on the team. I don’t even remember the last third goalie we have had that was on scholarship.

Why is Bob Anderson part of this discussion? Bob is a walk on. He tried out for his spot. If the coaching staff wanted to bring in a scholarship goalie for our third goalie, Bob isn’t going to prevent that. He’d become our 4th goalie. We haven’t had a third goalie on scholarship for a long time.

Hoff is my biggest disappointment of the class, strictly from an expectations standpoint. (I think he was an all-USHL pick?) I expected a little more than we’ve gotten out of the others, but can’t say I expected any of the others to be at the top of the stat sheet.

Yeah, I took a look at the draft rankings a few days ago and could see BU and Minnesota and maybe BC top 3 since they have the most ranked players, but after that I kind of felt it depends on if you are looking at quality or quantity, immediate impact, or more long term impact. Like, UND has 7 total rated, while Michigan had just 4, but I believe 2 of them are rated in the first round area, and the other 2 are late round projections. Either way, we’ll know who brought in the good classes by Christmas next year. But it’s a good discussion topic for the offseason (or end of season if you’re us)

Yes, generally, I personally prefer to form my own opinion rather than rely on someone else’s. But it’s a good starting point for sure. Especially considering all the mixed reports you can hear on players.

Rankings are subjective. Not everyone has the same opinion. I focus less on other teams. More on my team’s. There’s so many factors to building a team. I can only comment on what I see with my own eyes, not who is ranked where on a draft ranking, or what is on their stat sheet.

Yeah I haven’t thought Gardner was the right center for him all season. He’d be better with more of a playmaker for center.

Finally got to see Shane Pinto play this weekend. He was last of the incoming forwards I needed to see. He definitely has some tools that can help us. Blaisdell is still probably my favorite of the bunch. I don’t know their faceoff percentages (lol) but I feel confident 3 of the 4 will bolster the skill in our top 6 (unless Berry decides they are third liners ). Specifically at the center position, and I think getting some more skill at center will help returning players. (Ex: Adams.)

I agree with you, but what center on the current roster from this last weekend would you have put them with?

You knew this before tonight, right? but yes, agreed!

You mean like Quinnipiac?

I think there was chatter we may have recruited him, but he decided to go to Minnesota. Not 100 percent on that though.

His last test is today.

I’m a pretty positive fan, usually one of the last ones to go negative on the team, but without Adam Scheel in net, I have a hard time seeing a way in. And I think this is where a lot of people stand. It’s possible, but starts to seem more unlikely by the day.

This place would be pretty boring if we all agreed all the time. But yes, we’re all frustrated. I try to remember that having different opinions on how to right the ship doesn’t mean we’re okay with how things are going.

We’re not scheduled to play Wisco next season. (Possibly the season after that also) Scheduling agreement completed and nothing new has been announced.

Well you listed the 3 juniors I wouldn’t cut if I were the coach. The sophomore class is fine. They could use some help.

I know there are privacy issues, but it’s just a weird situation. He hasn’t played in months , but no one knows why. I just feel bad for him. Senior season, watching...

Or one that you could at least say has improved since they got here...

I don’t rely on those sites for information. His junior team says 2020-21, Schlossman says 2020-21. That’s what I’m going with.

The attitude comments I made were about when Tomek and Wilkie left, and I paraphrased a former player, who was quoted about it.

Didn’t have the right attitude to play here. Same with Wilkie. I’m paraphrasing.

You know the answer to this.
