Shaw was out recruiting (yes I too heard that Saturday evening)? I have never once heard of a coach missing a game for a recruit. It was a conference game.

Bingo. It was Berry's first year.....I'm sure they missed on some recruits as well. But remember, Yon and Bowen committed long before they got to juniors. Regarding your second paragraph, I also agree. Keane is probably a guy that typically wouldn't make the team, as he didn't produce in any competitive junior league. I doubt he's on a scholarship though considering who his dad is. Hain and Weatherby were solid gets though. Senden is another guy who'll bring it but he's not very talented. Some on this board love those players (and I do to for 4 line or extra player spots, they're more like practice players). As for next year, I too hope they'll all produce. We need to turn this ship around. I am still blown away no one is talking about the fact Shaw wasn't on the bench last Saturday.

They don't have any first round forwards.....but they do have quite a bit of guys that scored in juniors (similar to Boeser and Duncan). So what's the deal? There are always going to be "misses" on talent. But so far, everyone is missing.

Agreed. Not fun times right now. But...whatever you do.....do not go to the overall scoring leaders page at USCHO.com. I made that mistake earlier today. I remember I used to do that weekly. For some reason I peeked and feel much worse about the boys this year.

They’ll get up for duluth. They’ll most likely win Friday lose Saturday. However if they lose Friday I think they’ll get swept

Something is definitely not ok.

Not sure I’d say that either. That ‘16 team was loaded.

Well said. Although I would still say those Hak teams had better recruiting classes, more were early on off the blais trail though

I don’t buy that excuse that Shaw missed the game because of a recruiting visit. That has the be the worst excuse ever. That just doesn’t happen. Who were they recruiting, Jack Hughes?

Curious what’s going on with this program the past two years. It’s not the talent because many of those boys could have played for many high end hockey schools. It just seems so many of the players have been underachieving lately. At the very least, we have solid talent. But as a team we are so very average. We’ll beat a high end team here and there but we get swept by below average teams. It’s very early, but it’s probably about time to get worried about the pairwise. Swept at home against WMU, loss to Miami at home, loss and tie against BSU, etc

The goalie had absolutely nothing to do with that loss.

Terrible terrible pp

Which forwards on this team actually put up points? I mean, our forward group has to be one of the least productive in the entire country at this point in the year.

Naw will split those series and everyone will be excited. It’s the dropping of these game that will hurt pairwise

Terrible last shift, boys were literally giving western the puck. Worst game I’ve seen this year.

This is a bad one. Dominate the first two periods then get rope a doped in he third.

A bunch of passengers tonight. Clearly the much better team but they don’t seem to want it overly bad.

Haha goalie is 26

Shots 22-4 now.

Well, we should have 3-4 right now.

Boys look good

Interesting, something must really wrong with him.

Greasy goals? I hope you’re right. I haven’t seen too many of those this year. Especially considering our possession numbers.

Not sure. Judging by his numbers, he'll need the next two years.

I don't have a great feeling about this weekend. I'm feeling a split. They are getting some weapons back and seem to have no problems scoring goals. Also, their only weakness is their goaltending and I have a feeling whoever plays this weekend will put up decent numbers.
