Not only small, but highly anecdotal. He also allowed 7 goals in 35 shots against Air Force, 6 goals on 18 shots against Mankato (pulled in the second), 4 goals on 14 shots against Bemidji (pulled in second), 5 goals on 26 shots against Denver (pulled after second).
Yeah UND was looking at this kid during recruiting and he had a deficient team in front of him in Alabama, but to suggest that he is a godsend or anything half that is unfair to both Clarke and your own senses. I wish Clarke the best at UND; yet, a goalie who originally signed with Alabama-Huntsville is not who I want starting game in and game out in North Dakota's net----for obvious reasons. He'll provide experienced depth, but nothing more if Hak and crew did their due diligence getting a guy like Gothberg.
Yeah I was about to post but the guy really had no argument. I hope Saunders is very good....and I think I just may. However, yes the kid's stood on his head a few nights, but the team in from of him was god awful. So there will be some nights where his numers look great and others where they look terrible. He may have had 60 shots a game, but because his team was so bad....I'm guessing a lot of those shots were clean looks from 4th liners. Also, how does an awesome goalie from Canada end up in Alabama...not very often I would add. I am guessing he must have peaked late....as why would the Sioux even pull him in if he wasn't decent. I will just say that going into the year....this kid has absolutely nothing on Gothberg. But during the season anything can happen. We'll see.

I know that article is recent however I read the exact same article from a different source a while back. Schmaltz is coming for sure....as for his brother, who knows. I have seen his brother play and he is very, very good for his age. I am thinking he may bounce to the CHL when he is 16 (eligible), I hope I'm wrong though.

No, no, no.
The reason is that people confuse UND with NDSU. Even there. It's not that they want UND stuff. They think they are buying NDSU stuff.
Don't you learn anything on these forums?
I hope you are being sarcastic, I don't see any smiley faces...

A huge step backwards for UND sports. Suspect FTA and FCS may, just may, have one more year, but when the new conference and contract with CBSSports starts, all bets are off. Although, at least last year, CBSSports could be found FTA at times (maybe all the time?). Of course, that's just a couple games/year, as Midco now controls who gets what, and I'd be surprised if they allow FTA. I'm in North Dakota but out of the Midco footprint (as are most others outside ND), so no Sioux sports for us. All the fans in the Cities that go to Sensors will be out of luck as well.
Yeah the manager at Sensors told me that once this kicks in they no longer will be able to show the UND games...terrible. There are atleast 10-15 UND fans at Sensors every weekend to watch their games....somtimes more.

Has anyone heard whether or not Aaron Dell is going pro for sure or not? I have heard he is attending his pro camp, but nothing on if he will sign or not.
Otherwise what is our goalie situation for next year? Gothberg? The kid from Alabama-Huntsville?
Without Dell this could be a soft spot for us next year. Thought?
Gothberg may be just as good as Dell right now...or better. I'm guessing at some point during the year Gothberg takes the job no matter who is on the team.

Sioux hockey....and it's not even close. Dumb poll.
-
Well. because in an area that doesn't have a lot of tops sports teams, hockey reminds everyone around the country that we have a decent sports school. It gives us recognition to the global hockey community. When you mention college hockey, you cannot forget to mention UND. Almost everyone else hates the Sioux (UND) but it is for a specific reason....year in and year out we throw out very tough teams to beat. Team love to play us in non-conference games (and WCHA games) because when the Sioux is in town they arenas are packed and tickets are sold. Those are just a couple of reasons for me.
-
Add Jaden Schwartz to that. Gotta love the college flavor of the Blues.
Yup, congrats to Schmaltz, great organization to go to.
-
I've heard that this is going to be one of the weaker and more unpredictable draft classes in years, so I'm not going to start freaking out because there may not be any college players in the first round, this year.
Besides, I don't know what college hockey is supposed to do, you can't win 'em all--some players are going to prefer the CHL to college hockey. Especially Canadians.
Agreed, and the turnout was actually pretty decent for college hockey (so far).

2 great non conference series in bu and nd! Wish they could have had a 4 team subway deal but sometimes it's not that easy when scheduling. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those 2 early Alaska games regarded as " extra " games?? Due to the long travel or did I hear that incorrect at some point? Thanks
NHL draft tonight (1st round only) and the rest tomorrow! Would be great to see Schmaltz go tonight in the 1st round.
Me too, however, I think his down year (regular season) will push him out of the first round. After his awesome rookie year, there was talk of him going top ten.

I like that BU series early. Two wins there would really bump us up in the rankings as Boston teams always get so much love.
-
Are you really intimating that you'd rather have Pattyn, Seinkbeil, and Gaarder on the ice than JT Miller?
Sorry, but as lovely as it sounds, the talent gap there can't be overcome with hard work.
Haha I actually laughed when I read his post. FYI, yes we would have rather had JT's talent...for sure no questions asked. But I heard the guy is an absolute prima dona. However yes, when it comes to wins and losses we would have rather had JT in a second. I'm guessing the most he would have stayed was one year though.
-
OK, we get it, you don't like college hockey.
Haha, that was original....you think hard pretty hard on that one? Anyway, I wasn't trying compare the overall leagues simply that the US is producing better players each year however less and less are actually playing college hockey. FYI, don't change your username, I'm going to prove you wrong on this year's draftclass.
-
I've heard that this is going to be one of the weaker and more unpredictable draft classes in years, so I'm not going to start freaking out because there may not be any college players in the first round, this year.
Weaker for college players maybe...there are a lot of other great players in this draft class.
-
And yet more NHL players than ever are former college hockey players. College hockey must be doing something right if they can take lower draft picks and still turn out over 30% of NHL players.
Yeah I know, but all those players are older and were in college a while back. I am talking the last 5-7 draft classes. Each year college hockey seems to have less and less TOP end talent and each year there are less and less college bound players actually drafted. Please actually read what I am writing before jumping all over me.
-
I think whoever is running College Inc these days must address the lack of top end talent coming in the NCAA these days. I know I'll get crap for this but it's getting worse and worse and now even USCHO is putting out articles and for some reason I think Trouba will decommit as well if he goes top 10.
-
A thought. I'm personally in favor of choice when it comes to cages v. halfshields. But knowing myself as I do, and using the picture I have in my mind of most of you, based on what I can draw from your posts here over the years, I wonder if those of us who are less concerned about facial injuries aren't just uglier people.
Haha, not a chance bro.
-
Lee was 0-6-1 against UND during his career.
Yes you are correct, but an awesome goalie in his defense. If it wasn't for Eidesness he would have played for the Sioux.
-
ooooh...you got me there. it's called sarcasm fella.
I knew that...I was simply responding to you.
-
I watched a game where Hak had the look of a deer caught in the headlights when game plan one did not work and he had no idea what to do next.
? Hak did not get out-caoched that game.....their goalie simply played out of his mind. Don'y you remember we outshot them by like 20 shots, hit 3-4 pipes. The best team does not always win...it was evident that night. Hak could not have done much different.-

Again, I don't agree with you but I'm starting to realize that's a good thing. October can't come soon enough.
Couldn't find your initial post, however, I don't agree with Watch49 dude a lot but he is sort of right here. Dell didn't get us to the Chip.....our strong D and forwards did. He was just steady not above average or great.....average. Dude had like 13-15 shots a game that year....I hope he has a decent GAA.
-
Mike Lee left because he couldn't beat North Dakota.
Yeah.....ok
-
I really hope Dell comes back as it is always good to have depth, but I don't see any way Gothberg isn't ahead of Saunders on the depth chart whether Dell is here or not. Saunders was brought in to add depth and experiecnce to the position in the event that Dell leaves but I think they still expect Gothberg to take the job. I wouldn't be suprised to see Gothberg starting a lot of games even if Dell stays and he will especially be starting the majority of games if Dell leaves.
Yeah, agreed. You don't have a goalie with those type of accolades as your third string. He would bounce to the CHL so fast, he would have never came here in the first place (ala Mike Lee)
-
Never? I bet they said the same thing about helmets back in the '50s. Never is a very long time. It may or may not be within our lifetime, but chances are the NHL will get with the times and evolve in terms of facial protection someday.
I bet not....the main difference....head injuries, which are A LOT more serious than superficial cuts. With the increased speed of the game you have to protect your head...not your mouth down.

I like your follow up response...you are, for the most part, right on here. However, I would simply like to note that it is perfectly fine to overlook saunders because he is a goalie coming from a program that couldn't hang in the MIAC (D3). I would actaully say Gothberg has more pressure (if Dell leaves) as he is the goaile with awesome accolades. Saunders simply has to come in and be steady. I still think Gothberg will end up being the starter though...or he'll bounce to Canada at some point in his career (ala Jeff Frazee).
