I should have been clearer, not "junior" class in the college spectrum, but the entire age group, MJ, NHL, etc. Just seems to me a mix of seasoned players, up & comer players, under the radar players, combined with a blue chipper or two are the base recipe. Did the group that had Jost as "our" blue chippa have less overall talent? Did more from that age group opt for non college? Personally I think our player development should be most under the microscope, followed by this "culture" that makes a team have astounding swings in effort, discipline, and passion. IMHO, we need the next Cary Eades, but will the current and future generations be molded as well as coach Eades was able? Another thought is this. are we attracting players that see the path to the NHL as 3rd line defensively responsible grinder? Do the highly creative offensive magicians see UND as a bit stifling for their style? It is going to be a long off season...

Just a quick thought / question... the junior class has been hammered for being unspectacular, is it possible that the entire age group was underperforming?

Can't seem to find the boys game on tv? score?

Davies 2 Century 0

3-2 Central

I think Gardner heard you guys....

that link has nothing for me

Bismarck making it interesting...

Is the puck drop delayed or just the coverage?

Because Ben Newman provided the expertise to game the system..... and NDSU utilized the internal testing to fine tune the program.

Seems like a good time to start drinking again...

"the mid ice line"...... good grief

Is there a goal record to be chasing?

Do your lips get sore from tooting your own horn?

Thanks

Thanks, I imagine only the boys game will be on, any radio options for the girls?

Will any games be televised?

I'm not going to hold my breath, colleges are like politicians, usually ahead of the curve and will burn whoever, whatever to get away with it. The court of public opinion becomes the default court and ND has so many puffed up NDSU fans that there is no way they admit to anything, best you could hope for is they look away. The NCAA will only get involved if they need a scapegoat to divert attention, NDSU is a darling, correction a JV darling, burnable but not a necessary path at this time.

Sorry, I just grow weary of your dudley do right, stomp on unacceptable attitude, board patrolman tactics... Seems every post on every thread is followed by you and your green stamp of authority..... have a great day.

I wonder if Wilkie left because emphasis on player development is skewed toward defensively responsible forward as a path to the NHL vs creative fun play? Maybe stone will weigh in, surely the sight could use the hits?

You spelt Eades wrong. What is the odds Stony will reply, or is it lunch at the Berry house?

Lots of things to sit on our stools and worry about. My biggest worry is the radical change in performance one night to the next.... Friday night -- world beaters, amazing, play like that every night and good things will happen. Saturday --- sh!t the bed..... Is that on the coaches? players? culture? whatever it is IMHO needs to be addressed the most. Yeah we don't have the snipers, the blue chippas, locker room discourse, chick problems.... but Friday showed potential, why can't it be done twice or more?

So a natty next year, I will take it!!! but don't think I will hold my breath, bubs aint no mike eaves... and that is a good thing. Maybe the GOBC can get bubs a gig in the big show? Wild perhaps buy out his contract?

I'm likely out of the loop here, but why Bob? Where is the new guy?
