Everyone had emery as a top 4 lock…not just one of the 8 dmen. Weird deal. BC has 6 players!

That’s right…how did I forget that. Carle was the head coach though I don’t believe. Those Denver guys hate Nodak.

Oliver Tulk to Wisco…solid get. We better start getting on some of these players

While I don’t believe that number is zero, I doubt he had a huge influence on the snub. It’s interesting that a heavy nchc coaching staff (for two years straight now) hasn’t taken one UND player. Definitely makes you start questioning the process. Was Sanderson/Kleven the last UND players to play in the WJC?

Whoa emery got cut from the WJC

Denver has a very good recruiting network out there. Not just with the blue chips, but also with the over agers/role players. Nobody has gotten more out of their players than Carle. If he isn’t the best out there….he’s 2-3. I think that’s just a fact. He’s been on an incredible run…hopefully he cools off here soon :). Also, coaching the WJC also helps with recruiting.

Don’t get me wrong…this forum is full of “burn it down” crazies. I am not one of them. My point was fairly simplistic I guess. We had a tough start, mostly due to a tough opening schedule and some key injuries. We circled back and have been on a decent stretch, mostly due to the sub par teams we’ve had the luxury to play. I’m still curious how good this team really is, time will tell I suppose. As far as the burn it down folks go, I think they need to come to a very realization that the recruiting landscape has been changing for a while now and will continue to change heavily as we move forward. It’s not as easy as it used to be…and I’m saying that right after coming off a great recruiting year (I.e. two first rounders and the ushl player of the year). Recruiting will be key moving forward. The one thing I will say is that we’ll need to favor well against the other teams that aren’t pulling first rounders annually.

Omaha and UMD are both awful this year too. Our bottom is a very real bottom this year. No where near as deep as this conference used to be.

I get it…and agree. But, if we’re to be as unbiased (as possible). We’re still in deep doo doo this season, nothing has changed there. Also, besides cloud we’ve played some of the worst rated teams in the country recently. again, not trying to be a Debbie downer after the team had a great weekend. But we are no where near out of the storm yet. The boys will have to go on a fairly significant run here. Let’s hope they do

100%

That was an awful play. To get very specific, the crease is the goalie’s. You enter there at your own risk.

I have no idea which line is out top line tonight. Zero clue. They all kind of look the same.

We’re sweeping this weekend. It’s at home, time for the boys to go on a run.

Oh boy…here we go

That Cornell series is going to hurt us.

I personally don’t think he should come in. No point in burning a year….but i believe he was draft eligible last year, 9/15 cutoff

It’s weird because he looks the part. Big, can skate, attempts fairly skilled plays. But absolutely nothing translates. I’m assuming he doesn’t “see it” very well. NCHC isn’t AH.

Add the Gophs to list of teams in on Misa. I originally heard a rumor we may be in on McKenna…that was a long time ago and now I’m only hearing about Michigan from all the top sources. My guess is we’ll only be in on the over agers…not the blue chips.

Interesting that they came back, but honestly, I’m starting to think we have zero chance. Miami is terrible this year.

I really did not see this year coming. This ain’t good.

Looks like they let him go today.

Neither do I. Someone simply mentioned we have more resources than most (if not all) other programs. My point was that I agreed with most…but there are a couple other schools with our resources. Other blue bloods. I’m not saying I’m not pissed with the current state of our hockey program.

Whoa…settle down :). Just stating a fact. There are other blue blood programs as well.

Agreed. And they can’t really split, they need something like a DU sweep on the road, etc

We just lost a series against BSU….squeaked by RMU. Really let that sink in. This year I’ve tried to keep it positive, but this is getting extremely close to a rock bottom situation. Especially how bad we’ve been in the NCAAs. It’s getting dicey.
