This isn't true.

Name one current college hockey coach that talks like Dean Blais these days. I'll hang up and listen.... Sorry, but it's just not the way it is anymore. If you're expecting Deano, it ain't happening anymore. What Berry did at the presser the other night is probably the most you'll ever see in college hockey again. Whether you like it or not, personally I think it's a mixed bag, focusing on a presser and using that as reflection of how a coach handles his players is just a waste of your time. A coach won't drag his players anymore. Different world.

Shake off whatever that was on Saturday and get going. Need to have a good start to our non-conference with how tough our schedule is. Let's go, boys. Interested to see the combos both up front and on the back end. I'd expect some highly shuffled lines from Auggie.

What should they say? This is quite literally everything that is said in media in every sport. I don't understand what people want from a coach in a presser. Or, what they expect. Bubs absolutely held his team and his staff accountable after Saturday night's game.

It's wild and unhinged. Social media is a cancer.

Makes complete sense.

I get it. People are not happy with what happened on Saturday. Hard not to be upset. If it happens again against Providence, I'd find more concern. We'll see!

So are you saying maybe we should have waited until a game that counted before we all become ledgies again? Makes a lot of sense to me lol.

Definitely gonna be some tough lineup decisions to be made each week. On the plus, our third and fourth lines are going to be a MASSIVE strength and advantage over our opponents in most games.

My guess for the lines on Saturday: Kunz-Berg-Perron Swanson-Omac-James Boisvert-Wilkie-Croal Strinden-Jammer-Schmaltz Littler-Andrew-Monty Zmolek-Livananvage Emery-Weibe McDonald-Strathman/Jubeville/Komzak TJ Hobie Cheese

Big time.

I'm hearing the opposite regarding the top kids not going NCAA. Coaches see this as a massive coup for college hockey. Year by year, more big-time players are playing NCAA and the balance is shifting away from MJ a bit. With NLA and some very attractive, big-time schools, NCAA will get many top enders. These top enders want options and this is an example of that. On top of that, the middle of the road NCAA teams will get better too with additional influx of players. Directly from a couple pretty tied in hockey dudes.... they both said the "NCAA big dogs will get 10-15% better and the Bemidjis and Techs will get 25% better"

The CHL convo is very much a part of this, too. A lot of schools aren't going hard on a massive chunk of players because they see the CHL tap about to be wide open.

No one has ever said this on here.

Um, did I say that? Goodness. Two wrongs don't make a right, brother.

Only one way our fanbase can stop this from happening... don't go. That's absolutely asinine.

Very sad. Wish you the best, young man.

Or those little wings they give to a kid when they fly for the first time?!

I was close!

Looks like we officially have a Captain. This is pretty sweet. https://x.com/undmhockey/status/1824525898277949602?s=42 Well deserved, Jammer.

Jammer - C Schmaltz, Zmolek, Berg, Strinden - A Next in line: Kunz Those are my guesses.

This would be the least shocking development of the off-season lol.

Future visits? Sorry, but I'm not sure. Haven't heard much about that. I can certainly speculate

Yeah, like 3 or 4 years when these kids are maybe getting to campus lol
