Well...our record and PWR would indicate otherwise.
Time to buckle down and take care of business against Alaska next weekend.
Last chance to get some OOC improvement.And..no 3x3 next weekend, please.
That felt like a loss to everyone (including the players that played).

Somethings off with these guys.
And…they don’t understand how to play 3x3. Do they not watch NHL puck?

Well that’s a bit strange
He had 4 pts in 29 games. It may have only been a last ditch look to see if he had anything.

He has hung around in the big league for quite a few years, albeit as a journeyman.
But you are right, he could have used at least one more year in the college game.
At least. Unless you’re putting up video game numbers, no point in leaving for the pros that early. He’s still only 25 years old.
As my uncle used to always say, if you can’t have a beer at the bar after practice with the fellas…stay in school.

T Jost put on waivers. Tough to see how his pro career has went along. He is the definition of a player that left college hockey (way) too early.

K McCinnis to the AJHL. Great for his development, USHL seemed to be a bit much for him. He’s young though. Also coming off a bad injury last year. It’s his draft year so heading north and having some success is huge for him.

Will he remain a Bulldog next season? I guess I would think so. Good deal for him to not forfeit his NCAA eligibility while being able to practice and play games at an elite level.
He’ll be back with a school next season. I’ve always heard good things about him.

Looks like Spicer hopped on with Youngstown. Sounds like his deal was one particular incident…not necessarily flunking all his classes.

I guess I sorta get it (major junior) as school isn't for everyone but I think WHL, OHL, QMJHL are continually losing ground developmentally to NCAA. For example, I would have liked to have seen Minot's Shoenborn play D1 instead of going to WHL. He found himself in hockey purgatory after juniors where as Morelli is making a real run, signed an NHL contract with a tough squad to crack but is an AHL regular and hopefully gets the call.
There's a kid playing for Sioux City who was offered a full ride at Penn State and chose to play in the OHL for Erie. He was on the U-17 NDTP. He would have been an over-ager this season for them and he was released. Got picked up in USHL but what's his path now?
Had Cole Smith played major junior I don't believe he would have developed into an NHLer. He might not have been on anyone's radar which was good in his case hence the MJHL. He came into NCAA as a below average skater and left as an NHLer. I think it's a great story and example of what NCAA can do developmentally.
Kanes, Toews, Bedards, Oshies etc... doesn't matter what path they take. Duncan Keith left Michigan State to play in the WHL as well but he's a world class defenseman either way.
Lot of bad advice out there in my opinion.
Major Junior is still a good route, you get 4 year of schooling covered when you’re done with hockey. But how many actually go back? Tough to finish that much schooling.
NCAA path is the much better path. For both blue chips and everyone else.

Thoughts about our commits so far this season? Is anyone well above or below expectations? I’ll hang up and listen.
I can’t think of anyone exceeding expectations…most are doing fine. There are a couple that seem to be struggling at the junior level again.

Looks like C Spicer is academically ineligible the second half of the year. No idea how you get yourself in that type of situation. There has to be more to the story. WHL id guess.
Flunking out of UMD, especially as a hockey player, you’d almost have to try to flunk out. Impressive really.

How about Cooper Siegert from Shakopee? I've been checking Shakopee boxscores since that is where Cooper Simpson is back playing and noticed he is scoring at a similar rate to Simpson and is only a sophomore.
Yep, he’s really good. Small though.

Hey @scpa0305 what's the scouting report on Johnny Conlin? He follows us (among the usual suspects) on social media. Sounds like a legit D1 prospect.
I’ve heard the name before but don’t know much about him.

Although, I am thinking the one thing UND is missing right now is a skilled defenseman to run a power play unit. Livanavage is growing into the role, and Pyke has been good, but we could use an elite guy to run another one of the power play units down the road. Strathman is probably a guy that fits the bill, and Wiebe has some potential, but certainly could use more guys with an elite upside that still pays attention to the defensive end of the ice.
Yep we need him. We do have nice young PP QBs on the current roster and coming in next year. But…the more puck movers the better.

Jacob Kvasnicka to the goofs…nice get by the rodents

They pulled one of his assists yesterday…his was was 9. All in all however, great showing for him. I really hope he gets drafted. Top round talent, but he’s as small as they come.

I heard quite a while back that Lindberg was down to UND and DU so I'm a little surprised he hasn't committed anywhere yet. I get the feeling the longer he takes the more likely he chooses DU but don't have any inside knowledge.
Super tough decision for an undersized skilled dman. Nodak plays a more conservative style…DU is more wagon wheel. Both have positives/negatives.

I guess we'll find out. Heil has been good, too. Hampton is also a year older.
The goalie position is weird. Hampton also plays for a stacked Fargo team. But…he looks good.

All things being equal and not throwing shade at anyone for not getting or pursuing but IMHO...
In the end I think Hampton > Heil
Time will tell…Hampton looks great. It’ll be tough sledding at NMU…not worst thing for a tendy however. We’ll see if he ends up there given his recent trajectory.

He mentioned on the ECH podcast (I think it was that one) that he's going to be done after this year. I think you're right that he could use another year here but it seems like he's going to go find a pro paycheck somewhere. He's built for Europe so I'm guessing he makes it there eventually.
Right, it’s almost certainly not going to happen. He’s been fairly productive over 4 years (currently a click lower than I expected). But I have multiple buddies who played overseas and they all said their funnest hockey was college. Especially when bouncing overseas. I guess my point was that he would be able to potentially spin a masters degree out the deal with scholarship $. Decent to fall back on once the euro tour is over.

Unpopular opinion I’m sure…but if I’m Gaber I think I’m coming back for a 5th year. Unless they win the natty this year.

Reminds me of how Gaber would to try and do everything himself. He got over that IMO and Blake needs to as well.
Exactly like Gaber last year.
Our top is a bit too inconsistent right now. Production is lacking.
