Agreed, I’ve been waiting for that piece to his game from last year. In the year and one game that I’ve watched him, setup guy and his game have nothing to do with one another. He shoots every time the puck touches his stick in the ozone

Solid game. D coverage was much better.

That was a great play

We look slow

As another poster pointed out, this year’s frosh class should be good. It’s the blueprint for how we should recruit. A couple blue chips, an offensive dynamo like Swanson who’ll play 3-4 years, and some decent overagers. We simply need to stay consistent with this approach. We need at least one 1st-3rd rd player every year. But youre right, good players like to play with good players.

Haha, I agree on the blend piece. I don’t really see it that way for overagers. To me the players in that category can be very good college players. Typically they’re simply late bloomers who were immature during their draft years. They either will go late or not at all.

completely agree. But in defense of others on this site, I really do think it’s somewhere in the middle. You just dropped one recent recruiting class . Some folks trend over the course of time. When rating recruiting, it’s important to define how a program is going to recruit. Blue chips, over agers, blend, etc

College playoffs are weird, one and done’s are tough. Look, I get as pissed as anyone when we get knocked out early. That shouldn’t happen with the teams we put together. But the entire group has to come together…and you need a good amount of luck unless you have a BC like squad (we don’t…and they still lost too). We’ve had some good teams recently but had some bad luck. We need to turn things around this year. I’d love another natty, but let’s start with an NCAA win first

If we are still in that upper echelon of programs…absolutely. If we start being competitive in the NCAAs, absolutely. We need to figure out a way to compete in some recruiting battles with blue chips. The landscape is changing quickly. But…Bubs is a great coach. Ive heard from advisors, scouts, etc. Berry is very respected in the hockey world.

Again, Berry hasn’t had Hak’s success. But I do think he’s a great coach. He’s a keeper.

Way more with less? Hakstol had wagons. Not sure if he was the primary recruiter for all those guys but his teams were stacked! Berry has had some nice seasons with success…just not the same success as Hak. The natty was awesome though!

Lukas Zajic to Wisco…big time get

I doubt we did

Pilgrim had a nice night too

I’m not taking it that far. But definitely a head scratcher. You’re not supposed to get beat up first exhibition of the year by a team like augustana. You’re supposed to put on a show for the fans.

Augustana was going really hard, we weren’t. Boys were playing like it was a men’s league game.

Recap- offense was absolutely no where. Defense was leaky all game…13 could use a film session. 7 was the bright spot for me. Really noticeable.

They need to blow these lines up

I haven’t seen a scoring chance yet

Everyone’s going to say it’s only an exhibition…but this is embarrassing

Good player. High end work ethic. St Thomas will be good in the next 3-5 years.

I thought Wilkie was brought in for offensive production?

I have a good feeling about this year’s team. They should be good.

I’d be blown away if freddie isn’t maroon and gold. Fitzhenry would look great in Kelly green

From what I can see, he lets his skill guys be skill guys. He allows mistakes. He knows when to tighten things up by the end of the year.
