We playing two tonight?

I'm completely fine with this. Kid is a stud and I've been so d@mn impressed how poised he is.

Didn't see a thread for this, so, let's get it started. What does every one think? Hopefully the break gives us some refocus and energy. Need a win, as we all know. Can we do it in Lawson? We're so freakin' due to break out. Rhett.... hey... Rhett.... Let's get one, eh? 5-3 good guys Rhett, Senden, Kierstad, Jones, Smith

I'm told it's not disciplinary, for sure. Illness definitely sounds more accurate.

Thank you.

The shape of our program is two bad seasons. One of those, is still not complete. UNDBIZ summed it up, perfectly.

I'd say more than TWO FREAKIN' SEASONS. Goodness. If you had it your way, this nearly two year stretch would define our program, it seems.

With Scheel in net, we are able to win any game on any night.

This particular forward group? Gooch for sure. Who else were we expecting to take a large leap? Regardless, my point is that it's implied that thr staff and/or Bubbs isn't making the player better. But, that ignores his entire career. With that, yes. I expect next year's forward group to be very much improved.

Yes. Over many years of watching hockey and this program. The recency bias around here is mind numbing.

Can't it be both? I flat out mentioned logo rippers and wide shots. Yes, I absolutely think this team has had bad puck luck. The amount of shots we get and possession we have on a consistent basis should be an indication of more goals. Look at DU's first goal last weekend. That's puck luck. How many times have we gotten a bounce like that this season? Not many.

With not much leaving outside of graduation (I think Colton stays) and assuming we have some good to average progression from all players, we could easily see a jump next year with the type of forward group we have coming in.

I think 2019-2020 could be fun, too.

If this is bottom, I'm happy with it haha. Looking at our pipeline, I think it's easy to assume that improvement is likely. But, we shall see. From what I see, 20-21, assuming progression and keeping a few key guys (Kierstad, JBD, Tychonick, Gooch, Scheel), could be a lot of fun for our program.

I think there's a void of beating goaltenders haha. We've been plagued with zero puck luck and a tremendous amount of logo ripping shots and missed nets. Bringing in four good scorers should help this team. Should lol.

I mean, I think we will. Our freshmen have been good, some really good, and our Sophs are leading the way in most aspects. Scheel is a legit stud... the best freshman goalie I've seen come in. Add that to pretty heralded and top-end scoring forward group, I think we take a step forward.

I think he does.

I definitely see Senden getting a letter. Colton - C Kierstad - A Senden - A Smith - A I think Kawaguchi and Bowen should get consideration, too.

FYP

True.

Uh oh... he's not making a great first impression

You're implying the NA is going to improve our scoring situation, correct?

I think everyone is.

*sigh* .... We were talking about players on the current roster, because it is the 2018-19 season and how they could fit on the future roster, and you jumped in with your anti-Bubbs stuff. We were not talking about this. Again, if you don't mind, can you just chill out on this? We all understand you think Bubbs should be fired. Lol sorry my "buddy" offended you? I was thinking we were, at least, forum buddies. Unless, you're going the South Park route, then I approve haha.
