Blake is a setter (I’ll never use that term again )…his style changed when on a line with gaber. Especially on the PP. I’d like him to go back to his bread and butter which is being a play maker

Nice thing about Und is we typically run one goalie really hard. Rarely do we have a committee approach (like the NHL) unless there’s a disaster situation line we had earlier this year.

D was iffy early on but ya…clearly one of the more skilled guys on the team. Probably should have had a spot locked on the top PP. Line someone else noted, I would have liked him with either Blake or Gaber. I actually didn’t like Blake and gaber together even strength because they never passed. Both held onto the puck way too long. And Blake came in as a playmaker

I think I like the looks of this tendy more than the Miami goalie. Also, Joey Larson (NMU) entered portal after one good year. Clearly some big school after him.

OM’s going to be real good next year.

Haha. no, I’m saying I really have no idea who he is out side of the fact he’s played well against us before a couple times. I don’t ever hear anything about him.

Right and use his teammates a bit more. But again, his coming back is huge.

That’s really important. Gaber can be super frustrating…but at this point his return is colossal

I guess it’s basically a sure thing. Why ado you say that? I track players fairly closely, but admittedly, I don’t focus much on goalies unless they’re high high end.

Jake Fisher, who opened his recruitment up, chose DU tonight. Great spot for him

Boy was he a good HS player. Definitely intriguing but size was always a concern for me. Really skilled kid from what I remember.

Completely agree. Without better O (specifically vision) he’s going to have a very hard time staying in the NHL.

That’s your opinion.

Agreed. However he’d be a decent fit with Denver.

I actually had high hopes with constantini. Was noted as a draft sleeper prior to getting drafted. I thought he was going to put up bigger ushl numbers but after his frosh season basically forgot about that. Really confused what happened there. Johnson made some bonehead plays too but Moore, farmer, Frisch, etc also made some bonehead plays. Anyone remember 15 and 25 the first couple months of the season? They were on the ice for almost every goal there for a while. Moore’s no looker to the front of the net during the DU game? 6 pts in 13 games…+3 and a 3rd rounder? That deserves some leash unless there’s something else going on. I know nothing about the kids character…just have to trust the staff.

Agreed. We need Gaber and Frisch back. We need caufield to come back and play a depth role (maybe it clicks for him next season who knows). Could really use Kleven back. I know it isn’t happening but it would be huge.

Good thing schloss pointed it out

For the incoming freshman absolutely. Think about the leash they’ll have. It benefits Strathmann the most as he plays wagon wheel hockey. Kid like that comes in any earlier and he’d get “Johnson treatment”

I do agree with a couple points you made. 6 and 18 were misused a bit, more so 6. However who knows what type of kids they were. Also, as someone else pointed out, 18 did get looks at top 6 here and there and didn’t produce. Curious how other players had such long leashes while still not producing. I do agree on your form in the road comment. This program has to win to recruit…we don’t have the campus the programs do.

Bite your tongue

yeah, he did get a few looks early on. Unless they are high end, underclassmen can be hit or miss at times. Curious how constantini will do moving forward. I really dislike the portal. Oh well. Emerson should be close to a top 6 lock. He’s really good.

What!!! Edit- I thought Moore was 24 there for a second Constantini was a head scratcher. During his frosh season I was impressed, really impressed at times. This year he was buried a bit in the lineup and never worked his way back. I track numbers pretty closely and I’ve yet to see a free fall in production like his (that I can remember).

Well they gave the kid 5 games…in the playoffs. That’s a fairly stiff penalty from what I’ve seen historically.

His play picked up tremendously the last handful of games or so. Coming back is not a negative. I’ve said it all along, he has things he needs to work on and the A is a much tougher league than NCAA. Coming back he could continue to develop and he’s really not old at all.

Because he didn’t get a game that first year? Didn’t he have to redshirt?
