He noted they’ll try to sign these guys...which is pretty obvious. Until the NCAA and the Nhl can work out the whole NCAA loophole, these team will try to get them in their organizations. To play in the A. It’s up to the players and their advisors to pump the brakes and see if another year could benefit them. Of all these guys. Poolman is the most ready. I could see him leaving. Rhett and Gersich should definitely stay.

That’s an interesting stat. Positive going into the playoffs

Well their pp feels clunky. Their zone entry has improved greatly over the past three or four years however what they do in the ozone is not pretty nor creative. The other team knows that the puck is going to the point and one of the two defensemen will shoot...every time.

I would say below average offense and below avg defense as well. And their pk and pp are atrocious (I guess their pp bumped up a bit last weekend but if you’re looking at post Christmas collectively it’s really bad).

Agreed. At the the day I thought this team played well both nights, but when looking at it, Friday they were still torched by defensive lapses and last night they still coughed up a two goal lead heading into the third (which should NEVER happen). This still still scares me.

Agree with a lot of what you say and I too think they have a chance to make a little run given they have all their guys healthy. But three of those games (Omaha and Miami) were against putrid defenses and we looked about as bad as a college team gets.

One of the best games of the year for these guys. When the boys play like this they are tough to beat. They just rarely play like this :).

Und had one on Borgan late in the game ( after he had gave a verbal to scsu). I guess he almost flipped but stuck to his word

I talked to a guy from up there and he says the same thing. Kid has an unbelievable shot and slick hands but doesn’t have a motor for being a smaller kid, that can hurt as you move on from HS

It’s been that type of season. Not only do they lack skill and effort (most nights), they also are not very opportunistic.

They’ve been winning more recently though. Borgan, poehling, Ahcan, Jackson, lizotte, etc respectfully motzcos name is the big recruiting pull. He was the head recruiter for the gophs for a number of years (natty years). He pulled vanek there, I know that.

Motzco is a heck of a recruiter. The city is below avg and the facilities are not even close the great, but over time he’s found a way to lure in not only the skilled players but now some high enders as well. Deserves props. Coaching the U20 teams has to increase in recruiting a ton.

Agreed. Criticism is warranted at this point as this team should be much better (for a plethora of reasons) however several on this board go way too far. I’d be curious to know if these folks actually played the game at any respectable level.

Agreed. This season’s been tough.

This has to be killing berry...every post game interview is another loss. Teams lost.

Show got worked out front.

Bast is going to cost us this game.

Could be a season saving goal

Whoa. That was ridiculous and I’m glad I witnessed that. but wow...what a terrible d breakdown

That would have beat some nhl goalies. First goal....was pretty iffy. Just because he let in two doesn’t make both of them bad.

Yeah....tendy should have had it

Sure...but I meant on the year

Was a bomb

Schuldts numbers are phenomenal

It looked as though bast definitely got in the way. no goal...didn’t see a hand pass at all
