I'll say this... BU wasn't who I heard who was a favorite.

BU for Martone? Definitely not what I heard.

Looks like he finished 2nd in both goals and points to Nolan Marto on the GF Bantam AA team.

Possible nice prospects for the 29/30 recruiting class.
Very cool.

To answer your questions:
~Depends on who you ask. I think it was a prolonged one as you had guys like Ron Hextall who kept stand up goaltending alive, yet guys like Curtis Joseph who was a catalyst for going down on every shot. Once you got into the 2000's, the butterfly was to goaltending what peanut butter is to jelly on bread. Eddie Balfour was one who understood where goaltending was going, and changed his game from the stand up approach to the butterfly.
A lot of people don't know that the RVH, which is what is a common approach used by like 95% of goaltenders now, was created in part by a female goaltender coach in Sweden. Seems like it took over overnight, and now its what you see taught everywhere.
~To answer your second question, it takes a different mindset to play the position. A special mindset.
"special"
KIDDING!!! 🤣

TJ played incredible the last 5-6 weeks, no doube about it. Leading up to that, Hobie and TJ had 2 very different leashes from the staff because it's safe to say TJ wasn't doing anything special for us the first half of the season. That being said we only got to see an hour of gametime for him each weekend so clearly the staff was seeing stuff in practice we aren't privy to. Either way, once Hobie is given the chance to take over consistently, he's going to succeed.
I only saw glimpses. So, I am hard pressed to believe this. I hope so, but I am not certain.

Thank goodness TJ got on a heater to get this team to the NCAA tourna.....
.....nevermind
LOL regardless if they made the tourney or not, could you honestly say TJ didn't earn his time? And in turn, Hobie did not earn his time? Hard to pick on UND's goalie handling this year, IMO.

UND's handling of their goalie situation the past few years has been embarrassing. Why would a kid at this stage even want to come in as a freshman??
Can you expand? Hobie didn't earn his ice, IMO. TJ took the net.

So they didn't want Hedquist anymore? Or they knew he was gonna leave?
I'd assume they think Spunar is better and that Hobie would portal. We'll see, I guess. Already a lot of hot rumors about him leaving, so that wouldn't surprise me.

12 minutes ago, Scratch said:When Michigan is loaded they usually make the frozen four tho, like the loaded BU BC and MN teams lately and most of our teams under Hak. No disrespect to the new guys but at least on paper this team appears to have either zero or one skilled player depending on how Zellers works out. If they were loaded the frozen four would be an expectation. I think most here would agree this team making the frozen four would be somewhere between surprising and miraculous
Really? I mean, I guess you could say it would be surprising, but miraculous feels aggressive. The way I see it, UND is returning a deep, skilled, and veteran d-corps, and a couple of key forwards. Then, they are bringing in a very good freshman scorer in Zellers as well as a couple other nice pieces from their pipeline and from transfers/CHL and a good goaltender, as well. Certainly feels like a team that can get into the tournament. Once that happens, all bets are off.

Just in case:
Forwards:
Mark Scheifele - WPG

Ugh, my Rangers are out and it's just not even fun. Didn't do a college hockey bracket pool because of the same reason. Why??! 😭

His hands are tied to some extent because the Grand Forks Herald needs to keep a good relationship with UND Hockey. At the end of the day, Schloss is still just a beat reporter, not an investigative journalist.
Goodness, thank you. I've said this before, but why do we feel so entitled to know the inner workings and dirt of this hockey team? His job is literally to cover the games and news. Team internal drama is not news.

According to the article, he's been a huge UND fan his whole life and his grandparents still live in GF.
Tons of pics of him in Sioux gear."When Menghini entered the portal Monday, new coach Dane Jackson called him and said, "'We missed on you the first time. We're not going to let this slip again.'"
THIS is the exact stuff I want to hear from Jax. God, I love it.

It’ll be a factor. Deek’s pizza or 200k.
Of course it's a factor, but the kid is a stud. 200K will be peanuts to him soon. He's going to go where he thinks will be best for his development.
