If they ever end up hiring a new coach…they need to open the wallet. It has to be a huge hire…smaby may be a bit new to the whole scene.

Calm down

wtf was that

Young kid…glad Berry got him back out there. He needs to be a big part of our program moving into the next couple of year.

Yes he did.

Yes he did. It was definitely a mistake…magnified by our lack of offense.

The bigger issue is puck possession in the ozone…and overall hockey IQ. But absolutely…having younger dmen doesn’t help the whole equation.

The answer is…it depends. WHL has a 20 year old cap, where the ushl doesn’t I don’t believe. The WHL has higher end prospects obviously (excluding ntdp) but their depth isn’t always as good. Players are generally a click younger. They focus more on development as they get kickbacks from the nhl for the players they develop…ushl is more about winning. They have no agreement with the NHL

We clearly watched different games :)

At this point, everything should be built around him…as far as a pp goes. The top PP has to be Perron, Berg, James (net front), Boisvert and Livinavage. This issue is that Boisvert and Berg basically play the same spot. Boisvert’s shot is a lot better though…he’s earned the right to get those top looks. I feel like omac should be out there too…solid passer…maybe on the half wall. But at the end of the day, our more skilled/offensive players need to be on the ice. Schmaltz, Kunz, etc…shouldn’t be on either PP. Neither are anything close to being offensive. They’ve had a significantly long runway however neither have the IQ to be on a PP at this level.

Huh? I thought they would be a contender. They’ve seriously underperformed this year…even with the injuries.

What is his background? I haven’t been impressed. Self admittedly, I’ve stopped following non hockey UND sports for the most part. But I’m hearing many of the programs are falling off quickly.

We don’t maintain possession of the puck…we’re playing mid 2000s hockey. The game has completely passed these guys by.

We have better players than they do…it’s the system we run. We’d rather dump it in than go in on a 3v2. This is so tough to watch

We need to play our best players a lot. How 8, 15 and 29 are out there for every pp but barely have any consistent offensive production is beyond me. I know 15 has kind of been heating up a little…but his leash is so long. 9 is a first rounder that has to play in those end of game moments, he’s also been solid this year.

How is our leading scorer on the bench at the end of the game? Also not on the PP at the end of the game. First time all season I’ll say it…coaching may be an issue. I’d be shocked if Boisvert is back. There seems to be heavy heavy favoritism.

I’m late and on record…so this is late…but is 13 one of the dumber players in the league or what?

What happened to Emery?

That’s what’ll have to happen.

Sounds like Cayden Lindstrom (Columbus 1st rounder) will play a gap year in NCAA prior to turning pro. We better be in on him. We need centers bad. Looks like he had a fairly significant injury.

Agreed, wth is going on

ya me too

Obviously DU would drop two recruits in one day, each that smoke ours…hilarious

Not even close

I didn’t mean that negatively, I meant that as a fact. If this guy cracks the lineup it will be as an energy, 3rd/4th liner. Maybe he works himself up. Who knows. His +\- is slightly concerning…but the Dub is where guys put up huge numbers, he doesn’t which is odd as an over ager coming to a program like ours. I’m sure my expectations may be a bit skewed, or like others, were still waiting on that “big fish”. Again, this could be a nice depth add. Lastly…never mention Gavin McKenna and this guy in the same sentence
