Wow, with our culture, recruiting, facilities, draft picks,...and we don't have 1, not 1, freaking top 50 freshman scorer in the nation? Wow, that's telling and says a lot/all.
I don't necessarily disagree but this is college and, fair or not, coaches recruit those players who "execute". Using that logic, Haks was the greatest coach ever you'd have to agree based on your logic then as he coached/set up his team and gave them the "opportunity" to win a natty damn near every season but got blasted by many for those players not "executing" in the end.
Agree, "scoring" is the issue and getting more goals than you allow is what clearly defines a team that's better than the others. It's the most important thing, bar anything else (score more than you concede). I do agree thought, next season will be better but it better be! No where to go but up (I HOPE!).
How do you necessarily know it's not his coaching (you checked out the power play percentage, SOG scoring percentage, and goalie save percentage) that puts this team in a position to lose game after game? Another coach (no names...) might put them in a position to win most of these games.
You probably nailed it, we could certainly be a #6 seed in reg season conf play which would probably put us at W Mich in 1st round--yikes! Don't like them chances.
I hear you but I'm starting to grow tired of highly skilled/high caliber/high-end recruits (hear it every season with all our draft picks) coming in but they can't produce/produce minimal goals and points. It sure seems to be a trend lately.
Can't blame you based on play/results these last few years, team goes on a 3-3 (or 4-2?) run and gain a split at home vs a real good and hey, those are damn good times anymore! Prior to these last few years, for many years that was considered nothing special really or even a bit of a funk. My, times have changed.
Our home game vs W Ill they scored 60 pts on us in the 2nd half. UND is not a very good team at all on a terrible run, need a coaching change for next season if this doesn't improve this season.
