LOL well, they are usually rankings, so I can see whom else is on those rankings.

I disagree on Bowen, but the other two, I wouldn't bat an eye if they were gone.

We're talking just a couple years, though. We've missed, no doubt, but it doesn't feel like it's forever. Our current pipeline has those types of names, IMO.

I'm on the 75% talent train. As I was referring to on the other page, guys like Adams need players around him and when he gets that, he could absolutely fly. Shane Gersich is a good example, of this. This team needs and influx of talent and we are getting it, on the forward side, this summer.

Adams needs to play a Top 6, but our centers are better suited for bottom 6 roles. Both Rhett and Jones can play Top 6, but Jones is more suited for the top line and Adams isn't top line forward material, yet. More centers, pleeeeease.

UGH, Adams. He showed, again, this weekend that he has skill. It's really simple... he needs players to set him up, however.

These classes don't happen every year. It's just not the norm to have two first rounders in a draft class. I don't see the hole being deep at all. I get what you're saying with dead weight, I just want to see if guys like Bowen, Smith and Hoff can make a jump. I don't really care to shed a lot of the roster, honestly. Who would you like to see get cut? What else would it take to right the ship, in your opinion? We've seen a development in the Sophs this year and our freshman from the start of the year. Another step makes sense. Impact freshmen seems like the remedy, IMO.

I think Smith should get one, but those two are so far and away.

I get ya, man. I may see it a bit differently than you, but we still want the same thing -- for our team to win! I truly believe we're close and I really hope and think this freshman class coming in turns us in a really excellent direction.

I think we'll be Top 3 or 5 for the next three years in regards to the incoming classes, from everything I've heard and read about our recruits.

I guess I don't wholly agree with the premise that Colton isn't a natural leader, but I certainly agree that this team hasn't gone to that next level with him at the helm. Maybe next year? Senden is so impressive. I think he gets an A next season. Saturday was annoying because we immediately started to go to the box and kept going to the box. This took us away from 5 on 5 grinding possession play that we outwork most teams with (and do so to Duluth on Friday). We could never build momentum because of stupid penalties. Ugh.

I'm just saying that we get that you think that.

You already said this lol. Well, close. You said 8. We get that you think we suck.

Yikes, coming in hot lol.

We were perfect defensively last night. Do that again for 60 and we got a shot. It was awesome to see. Let's go, boys! Go get it.

Let's get it, let's go. C'mon boys! 3-2 UND Rhett, Guchi, Tychonick

Correct.

No Jones.... ugh. Thome in. 10-19-26 18-22-29 21-14-9 5-27-7 3-6 28-2 17-24 4 1 35 34

Scheel week-to-week with a shot to play this year. Good to hear. Less likely to be a long-term thing. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4575253-und-not-yet-ruling-out-possibility-adam-scheel-could-return-season

To a fault, recently. I'm doing my best to stay off a pulpit hahaha.

Got it. I wasn't saying you were blaming him, just to clarify. I thought you were going with the idea that Bubbs was being blamed for everything and thus, joking about that. Ugh. Sorry I jumped too hard. Been a rough few days on here, by me lol.

Right. I wasn't saying you were blaming him, but laughing that others could think it's Bubbs' fault.

Hahahaha blame Bubbs, for sure.

From one of Brad's stories for Friday Ice Time: Jones, whose goal drought is only at five games, might not have a chance to get back on track this weekend. The senior center practiced most of the week but didn’t go Thursday and is questionable for tonight.

Yup. High aspirations, low expectations.
