Boeser has to be dinged up- there is no way that he has regressed as a player this much in one year

I'm going to burn down Berkely, because of m not getting my way

I feel like nobody other than Jost is reqularly able to create time and space by beating a defender. That to me is the driver of our offensive issues. Guys have to be able to beat guys.

Boeser does appear disinterested...

First home win all season

This is crazy...gotta pump one in

Love hearing that!

I know that you aren't serious, but just o remind folks- 7 is awfully early in the development process...I coach U8...At this age, it is all about agility, balance and coordination...reps, small area, lots of touches...love of the game. Far too often I see young kids get too heavily drilled...makes them look like rock stars young, but misses a lot of things that will ultimately make a stud U16...they gotta love it in order to do the real development things that take place between 12 and 16. Also, the biggest variable into how far a kid will take it in the game isn't even visible until they are in puberty, when whether or not they've won the athleticism lottery becomes visible.

I think UMD and DU are just on a different planet right now. To the earlier post, you just have to get in. There have been many dominant teams that get beat in the one and done...Michigan in 97, BU in 2000 paved the way for two of our Nattys. likewise we were on a different planet Parise's second year and 2011 and didn't get it done.

This Millenia: BC: 10 Frozen Fours, 4 Nattys, 2 missed NCAA (both after Nattys btw) UND: 10 Frozen Fours, 2 Nattys, 1 missed NCAA id agree that they've been the best, but our win last year put us right behind them

Ausmus F Wolanin D Peskie D Shaw C- poolman C- Johnson C- Poolman B- Cam C

And 2 C's are non-scholarship players who get limited ice and 2 B's are freshmen

Forward Grades based on performance vs expectations: Wilkie F Simo F Olsen F Gardner D Hoff D JJ D Pogo C- Gornall C Smith C Boeser B- Yon B Bowen B Jost A Gersich A

It isn't #1 picks driving UMD right now, it's upperclassmen who have developed and bought into the system and their roles.

I don't fault the forwards as much as the D. Our backenders are either terrible offensively or terrible defensively or both. exception being Poolman

Remember we didn't have Boeser originally either...stealing him was a recruiting coup! Final piece of an NCAA title last year.

Wilkie, Pogo and Gardner are all drafted...it's not an issue of recruiting, those 3 in particular are just not playing to their potential.

Pretty simple recipe to beat UND last night: Don't let Boeser or Gersich beat you. There is no secondary scoring.

Several busts...Murphy and Wilkie were supposed to score goals...

a rookie? around $70k

Ha...not sure if he's ever been convicted...but he's certainly guilty...

I hate that guy...I'll give him $200 to wash either of my bmws....

Is he out of jail?

I really think this team has no identity and no TEAM...they are a bunch of individuals...some of that can definitely be on coaching...what worked with the boys last year might not work with the boys this year. i just feel like we are not playing fast, hard hockey...we walk through games like its a special teams practice. That's on the leadership on the ice to elevate the speed, intensity and pace in practice.

#1 draft pick...he was eventually going to figure out the college game...had to do it against us though...
