I’m more interested in the effort and coaching right now. Many people are locked in on recruiting (and I am too). But to be honest, running through CC’s team....they really don’t have one player outside of Bergh who was even remotely desirable. By any top notch school. That game last night had more to do with preparation and execution.

Berry was the head recruiter and had been for years. But Hak was still the face of the program. I guess what I’m tracking is how that has, or will, change things.

Actually you’re right, I forgot about the misplay behind the net.

Yanking a goalie after two goals is quick...and one wasn’t even close to his fault. That IS a short leash.

Agreed. But don’t downplay Haviland. He has multiple cup rings. And how was the program when he took it over?

I know. He was making some lazy circles all night.

I don’t like where this is all trending.

I haven’t noticed him all game, until now. It’s not that he’s lazy he just isn’t that dynamic. This is who he is. His number last season were inflated (significantly) by who he was playing with.

I’m think back 10-15 years...this has to one of the worst stretches I can remember. Not only the inability to win a game, but the way we’re losing. Just can’t score. Zero threat

It’s that bad. Blown away. Could definitely use better coaching.

Thome’s rebound control looks scary right now.

Cc has scored on almost every shot it seems

...that should have been stopped. Terrible d there though

You actually thought that goal was on cam? He had absolutely no shot.

6-2 good guys. Adams and kawaguchi hit the stat sheet a bit

Bingo. But I think you just made the overall point. Going into the next 1-2 years, it appears we are lacking skill.

Very true, those three are definitely struggling however senden and keane are going to be bottom 6 players. Especially senden, he’s never been a scorer but more of a penalty killer...similar to Dixon Bowen. Numbers are a concern though. Keane is a guy that is going to be in and out of the lineup...maybe. I wouldn’t even put him that close to a Yon type player. Hain is another player that has fallen. Last year he was projected as a top 2 round player. He’s since fallen of a cliff because his skating ability is getting exposed against the better comp he’s playing against. He’s a guy that could almost use another year in juniors or have a limited (bottom 6) role for und next year. Probably a 3-4 year player which is good long term.

Agreed he has taken off a bit, nice to see. June ‘01 that’s ok.

Sweep

Costello has struggled this year. I’m assuming he’ll spend another 1-3 years in juniors.

I get that but he has 7 more points in the same amount of games as Donavan and his goal total alone almost equals mageau’s pt total. I get this whole “his line carries” him shtick but every time I look at their box scores his name shows up the lost. He must be tiny. Has St. Cloud or Duluth written all over him. Maybe northern Michigan

I wonder what the story with Garret Worth is. Duluth kid and is uncommitted I believe. I know you have to be real careful with MN high school kids butbhes scoring in piles.

He also stuck his knee out too, which thankfully he missed. Nuts

Agreed Costello definitely could use 1-2 years more and it would be nice if Randklev could play a full year. As far as gersich goes, he’s a nice play but I don’t think he’s ready for pro hockey. He could probably fill a bottom 6 role on an AHL team however I’m not sure why a guy would leave early for that. Stay another year and continue to develop. His soph numbers were solid however I think everyone knows that Boeser and jost played a huge part in that. His numbers dwindled as the season wore on. This year I think we’re seeing the real player...20 in 28 isn’t really lighting the world on fire. He’s definitely heated up a bit though recently, 10 in 10. Either way, players shouldn’t leave early with those numbers unless they’ve already graduated I guess.

Haha. Players also have to think about playing time. There is a risk to choosing UND over BSU. Most years, und has a bunch of talent.
