Nelson to Notre Dame…chose them over MInn and us

That’s basically my primary method outside of local buddy word of mouth. It’s fairly accurate

Gotcha

The team was 10-0 as far as goals for/goals against at even strength with faber on the ice. Only goal against was the empty netter in the quarters. in comparison, kleven’s was the lowest at even strength on the US. Not trying to bash kleven, more to point out that you have to bring some stats to make comment you did. agree with Knies though, fairly underwhelming

Denver’s on a heater…good players coming in their this year. Carle has a reputation for letting skilled players play free. That can be important from a development standpoint. They’ve also been very good the past 5-7 years.

Brutal brutal loss. Hughes (injured) was awful. Poor coaching decision to leave him on the ice. Not having Behrens on the ice was a brutal decision too.

Doubtful we were in on him, but Theo Kiss to UMASS

1 time…1 time lfg !

I do think we have a chance with Nelson

You’re posts all made sense. MN and BU have hit so far plain and simple. as for mn, this state has produced some really high end players for those birth year. MN should have the easiest time getting those kids. Kind of makes sense

Yeah there is…gophers suck and always will

Ziemer to the goofs, another huge get. I believe Moore committed yesterday. They are sure stockpiling. Taking a page out of Michigans book

How is Behrens not in that lineup

Celebrini to BU…thought we may of had a chance with him after the Q kid committed. BU bouncing back a bit this year.

I’m not sure if you were being sarcastic…but I definitely was :)

Great news! Hopefully we can get Fondrk next year too. Believe they played together. Big get, really is. Let’s cross our fingers he makes it here. But again, kudos to Bubs…this is a big haul.

Max Plante to UMD…were we in on him

I think it’s fair to say certain programs are able to grab blue chip/grade A prospects better than us, at least from a quantity standpoint. We used to be in those types of conversations every year. But Berry knows you can grab that next tier plus late bloomer over agers and actually be a better team. We have a solid crop of freshman coming in coupled with an older team. I would be blown away to hang 9 this year but we should be a really tough out and we should be a lock to make NCAAs. I like blue chips more than anyone, but it’s tough sledding right now. The more important piece is having a successful team year in and year out.

Your a vet…can’t get sucked in by these guys

This occurs every year, so that’s no fault of yours. But freshman are a bit too far up your lineup chart. I’m guessing Berry makes several of them earn it. Guessing James starts the highest…blake/McLaughlin may get some pp time. Also, i really do hope Kunz isn’t an “extra”. 4th rounder in year 2? I doubt he wins the Hobey but hopefully he’s continued to work on his footspeed because if he has he’s probably a top 6/top pp kid. Hopefully Johnson has taken several steps and can run a pp…I have always liked Moore’s O game as well. Berry seems to lean heavy on those older guys so I’m sure Frisch starts on the Pp and kleven will get a look too considering that’s the area he needs to develop the most by coming back, his O game. The only thing that has really shocked me with Frisch and Kleven, is their assist totals. Brutal considering their ice time, especially Frisch getting pp time.

Mich State has gotten two big commits today

F!!!! Whipple to goofs. JC. The fact he is a dman…thought we had a chance.

Man waiting waiting to hear something but some of the targets are choosing other schools. really wish we are in on Johnny Whipple…my hunch is that he picks the goofs though. I’ve heard we’re falling into that Notre Dame conversation, we don’t let skill kids play and we play more of a D scheme.

Smaller guy that doesn’t have a great stride, basically has to play top 6/PP. That’s a tough role to crack

He’s going to have a big year. Hopefully they find him linemates he can gel with early.
