Griffen Ness committed.

Bowen is definitely not a bad penalty killer. Is he great....no. But he's not bad. Lately he has taken some pretty stupid penalties, but the coaching staff just need to talk to him. I highly doubt Keane will ever be a consistent college player. He struggled mightily in a high scoring junior league (on a good team) as a 20 year old. I think Keane is a great locker room guy and can fill in on a 4th line if we absolutely need him too. When he gets called up he seems to buzz.....but eventually disappears.

Haha unexpected departures. in all seriousness, Gaber needs another year of juniors. He may be more of a grinder...i noticed his pp numbers are low. It would be a good idea to continue to develop

Since Michael mancinelli was traded he’s went on a nice little tear. Shows you what a system (and opportunity) can do.

He’s a great young player.

I agree with most of what you post. But I truly think it’s a system problem. On most nights we have more talent than the other team. I mean we have really skilled guys who aren’t doing anything. Obviously we do have a few guys who will never be offensively productive but in the other end, we have some guys who should be a lot better.

I agree as well. You don’t hang with all these good teams if our team is full of scrubs. They have to get more creative in the ozone. Sacrifice some shots for some more creativity. Overpassing can be a problem for some skilled teams....not this one though. Also, they have serious confidence issues.

1–3 points

I get your point, but 25-30 points is a stretch. That was be awesome. What is ward doing for Omaha, he enever came close to putting up the kind of numbers those two boys did.

Great post. This team is very tough to watch given the lack of offense. Made it through the first last night.

I watched the game. Everything starts at the point when it should be the other way around. 90% of those closer shots result after the defensive player already has taken the perimeter shot. Either one of our forward scrambled to retrieve it and fire something on net. It’s not a “quality scoring chance”. Name me one time the forwards were able to create something themselves that didn’t appear to be 4th line grind material. Any backdoor passes? Creating space and finding an open forward in the slot? Never. When the forwards get the puck they only look to get it back for a perimeter shot. 100% of the time. we had a couple scoring opportunities last night. Should have more than a couple every period.

From where? Our only shots originate from the point. Zero cycling and containment down low. This team will never see a goal with all three forwards in on it. as I’ve mentioned too many times, when we have the puck in the ozone the first, second, and third option is going out to the point for a perimeter shot. That play is supposed to be used as an outlet...to catch the Dzone players sleeping. Our boys only do that. It’s like running a play action in football every play. DU knew none of our forwards would even attempt to beat them low.

Has to be the worst statistical (offensive) team of all time.

Only 5th because he came in late. He shredded that year. One could argue he went into college hockey too early the first time.

U actually think Donovan is going to do something in college hockey next year? Outside of the layup games he has in HS he hasn’t done much. I strongly doubt he’s going to walk into college hockey (never playing a season of junior hockey) and be a key player.

Our forwards have to start creating offense

Zero “quality” shots since the first half of the first. Such a boring team to watch.

What corner?

Dominate the first few minutes, could have 1-2 goals. Denver gets a chance and finishes.

Boy this team is all sorts of messed up.

I doubt he's eligible or even has interest. He would be committed already if he was interested.

he doesn't play JV

They need to win.

Agreed. It’ll take a few classes to get this thing back on track

Sure, but he still screwed up. Players do screw up and he did.
