So, yesterday was fun. Can our boys shut up all the internet and sweep JBU? Why the heck not?? 4-3 UND Sendo, Sandy, Costantini, Juddy

*sigh* Man, do we need a win. I honestly have no idea how this is going to go, but I have seen this team play well and beat good teams. Hoping it starts again today. 3-2 UND Sendo, Gaber, Calder

I think that Driscoll played well enough on Friday of last week to get a start, but I think they go Hellsten tonight. If we win, he starts both.

Thanks for the answer. Tell me more what changes you think should be made.

Still didn't answer my question. So, is it the system? Too many grindas? Not enough grindas? Not enough blue chippas?

So, is it the system? Too many grindas? Not enough grindas? Not enough blue chippas? Goodness, bro. You are all over the place. Make sure you your personalities are all on the same page when each one of you log in.

Also why it's silly that people are being so hard on a kid like Kunz. Players develop.

It almost seems like you need a balance of studs and grindas to win at a high level. Such a novel concept. Sounds like teams like Mankato, St. Cloud, Western during this season. Crazy thought?!?! Lol

Why are you asking me if you never saw it? It's in the commits thread. Pretty recently. Dig it up, buddy.

LOL already did that on the other thread. Glad we agree.

Totally agree on Cooley, but last time I heard was that we're still very, very much in on him. The red flags weren't just about off ice stuff. I am not going to bury a kid on a public forum. I just won't do it. But, I stand by what I say about him being not a good fit for UND.

He was asking if you could answer the question, so your answer appears to be "no" because... well, there aren't any.

Oh, I know you were! I was just being silly

They aren't. Are we serious here?!

I mean, I do complain a lot lol Currently I complain a lot on here about how other people complain a lot on here. It's pretty meta.

What a terrifying scene. And I'm not even afraid of clowns.

I was just about to say the same! I just saw his ranking and I am very confused why anyone would be overly upset about not getting him. Especially as an 04.

Well, we aren't, so, there's that lol. Sorry man, but our pipeline is excellent right now. Just because we didn't get a guy that someone on the hockey board wanted doesn't mean we don't have a solid pipeline.

Good luck, buddy! Let's hope they all score and that means we've put some Ws

And for some additional wow... Perron is 16.

Remember the outrage around here about losing him? Pepperidge Farms remembers...

Totally fair and he's due some, no doubt. With that said, is it real and honest criticism or just frustration with this season? I think this team is product of us losing 14 players (think of that number) from a loaded team and replacing with that we had to work with at the time. For me, I don't know how I can pin that on Berry. From what I heard about Morrow, I still peg that choice as a good call and I don't care if he wins a Hobey. He didn't sound like he would fit in here. To each, their own. Hindsight is 20/20 on Rizzo, at this point. Seems like a miss there. We absolutely have not moved away from recruiting the top players and we're still very much in on Cooley and have guys like Perron in our pipeline.

I think maybe people's expectations on players need to be checked before they come in. Having that idea that they will be an instant factor scoring right where they did in juniors just doesn't happen very often for any player. I think we can all agree that some players come in here with high expectations and under perform, but can't the same be said for kids that come in here with us having high hopes for them and they become better than we ever expected?

Yeah, or, let them develop. There aren't a lot of kids that jump right into college and blow up like they did in juniors.

I try to keep my mouth shut, I really do. It's just in every thread and I stupidly feel the need to defend.
