Yep. He’s another one that’ll need to play another year. I don’t understand writing him off completely. Let’s see what he does next year.

Highly doubtful.

I like this kids game…still shocked he never wanted to come here.

I thought it was WMU?

Me too.

St Clair is a bit too green for an associate head coach role…maybe an assistant, but not associate head coach. He needs to lead a ushl team first. Or be an assistant on a high functioning D1 program.

It’s going to be Herter or Smaby

I’m thinking we’re in on a few of these. We need more F help.

He’s a pass first guy…kind of like how Nick Schmaltz was

No

I’m fairly aware of what’s going on with this program.

I agree there.

That’s what I was thinking

Huh???

I’m looking at Menghini’s numbers….he must be more of a culture guy or something? Good at pk? We’re not talking about a big time offensive player here. I’m still waiting for some F’s

Need to go all in on this one…others will follow

There’s definitely a time and place to “get pucks deep”…and certain lines need to play that way. But skilled, possession, type plays want to hold onto pucks to make plays. Interchanges, scissors, etc all work even better as you don’t unnecessarily create battles…and the good guys retain possession. Last year, no matter which line had the puck they were chucking it into a corner….again creating more battles.

That would be awesome!

Agree with everything other than the D piece. Very tough position, they were all underclassmen playing big roles. They’ll get better and better. I don’t foresee them being absolutely lights out next year, but they will take a jump…a pretty good one I suspect.

It’s 100% why. Swanson, Omac, Perron…incoming Zellers. They want to hold onto pucks..not constantly have to win 50/50 battles. Winning battles is important, but if we already have the puck, keep it.

They play a skill game…they move pucks and posses. He should fit in there.

I get that, it’s just an underwhelming collection of offensive F’s at the moment. You can still win, just slightly underwhelming. Zellers and Swanson will be good, but both are underclassmen that aren’t necessarily blue chips….they could have great years, or they could still be figuring it out. With this group, we’ll need some late bloomer offensive guys that can put the puck in the net.

Sounds like OMac to WMU

Our current F group does not look great.

I saw that, I remember him losing his share a bit during the season. Numbers look good though.
