For those of you that think this is a layup for Dane Jackson, that is not the case. He may very well get the job but he certainly has competition. This is not a slam dunk for him.

Signal.

Haha. Just a guess.

I don’t think we will see Jackson behind the bench unless it’s as an assistant coach the new hire decides to keep on.

It always will be, however DU hockey isn’t the only show in town and they aren’t the best show in town or even in local sports. There is pro sports , then college football and basketball. Third fiddle. At UND you are the show in the city and throughout most of the state. It’s a big deal. That can be an attractive sell to some.

My own eyes.

Hopefully when they get down to the finalists it will be made public so you can see.

Don't be so sure.

You could be right but some intriguing candidates will make it interesting.

100%

I can assure you they are doing their do diligence to interview a fair number of people. I would say it's not a slam dunk for Jax.

They should have won that game. Did an excellent job of bottling up Bump. He had someone in his face all game. That is how you neutralize him.

I think that’s his UND hockey roster photo. 😂

Well one noticeable difference between the teams in the tournament and specifically this BU/OSU game is that when they shoot it hits the net more times than not. No shots wide or over the net, it’s typically right on.

Lots of questions unfortunately too few answers.

That’s assuming Jax wants to bring him onboard.

In my opinion it is the choice Chaves thinks will be the least amount of waves to rock the boat. The safe choice. Preserve our current roster and recruits as much as possible and Dane may just give us that for the time being. Not saying it’s right or wrong but I can see where Chaves might be thinking this way. Again just my opinion.

Yeah I mean it’s nice to hear their concerns etc, but that shouldn’t really have any impact on the decision.

I just read the letter. First thing that stands out. No mention of Jax, KG or Simpson. Did they somehow throw BB under the bus and now there is some ill will?

Also, it’s not exactly a great time to apply for a job as teams are headed into playoffs. No coach wants to bring on extra distractions while that is going on. I don’t buy that no one wants to coach here.

The timing certainly did UND no favors.

Like I said, he knows way more than Chaves.

Just like you.

Then it’s probably Jackson and Blaishill and if that’s the case we just go with Jackson.

Nope. But he has played, been a referee, sits on the hockey rules committee and has a passion for hockey. He is much more in the know then Chaves.
