Our players seem to be regressing instead of progressing. Same thing happened last year. Instead of getting better in the second half we seem to be getting worse. It’s almost too painful to watch sometimes.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make everything all better with our hockey team.

wtf we used to be good. We have a good amount of talent on paper but

I haven’t listened to a radio game this year and don’t know if Ole still does color for Tim but I really get a kick out of Ole and enjoy his comments.

I still think Karl with a K would be our best option as coach

Carl also runs the power play which is very good amongst the tops in the country. I have always thought Carl would make an excellent head coach.

I think they should make Berry an assistant and move Carl up to head coach.

This is about the only to deal with this losshttps://www.google.com/search?q=animal+house+meme+i+cant+believe+they+took+the+bsr&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:aa614553,vid:qfuJVwpI3TY.

I f you think back to the 2016 team Berry did the prevent defense in the 3rd vs Denver in the semis and it almost cost us the game. I hate that coaching strategy.

Playing prevent defense with a lead almost always prevents you from winning.

We could host it at the Ralph. We could probably make an NIT style tournament. Give out participation trophies too.

I’m in the opinion that our goalies don’t lack ability they lack confidence. A psychological coach might do them wonders. Might get them kicking ass and taking names.

Maybe a geometry coach too to keep them on their angles.

Maybe we could snag him in the transfer portal in the future. Can’t be any worse than what we’ve currently got. Maybe we need a psychological coach for our goalies. They need to get confidence and maybe things will get better in our goaltending dept. a psych coach might be a bad idea or some type of therapist to get their heads right.

I thought Albrecht fit like a glove with Jammer and Senden. It gives Jammers line someone to really lay the wood on the other teams top line. I also really like Albrecht on the 4th line also. Might be more valuable on Jammers line though. I know Hain is gonna go back on Jjammers line but Albrecht brought that extreme physical presence when he was on Jammers line. Quite a conundrum.

Yes they are good at fire wagon hockey. We played like sh$t when we played them. Sat and puck watched and didn’t put bodies on them. I like the make up of our lines now to compete with teams like Denver and St Cloud. We have a lot of talent that could make a 2nd half run if we can keep our focus.

I think we always had the pieces to have a national championship contending team but we needed goaltending to improve (DeRidder seems to have stepped up) and we needed to get the coaching staff to get their heads out of their asses. We had 2 really goods line come back from last year in the jammer and ness lines and they kept breaking these lines up. They needed to find chemistry with the other two lines which I think has happened. Now just leave things alone and let the guys play hockey. It looks like the players are also having fun again too.

To me this forward lineup makes the most sense because it is the most balanced. In this we have two lines that can go into shutdown mode in the Jammer and Ness lines while we have the Mac and Schmaltz lines that can supply a lot of offensive punch. The Ness line kind of gives us a little of both which is what the role of a good 4th line should be. I really like this lineup.

I think Schmaltz James Caufield are really starting to gel together. Doesn't make sense to me either to take Schmaltz out. I like our chemistry with this forward lineup. We really need to keep Albrecht Ness Portz intact too as I think they give us a definite matchup edge on the road when we don't have last change. Most teams 4th lines aren't as good as this 4th line of ours.

Having this 4th line gives us an advantage on the road I believe because they can put on such a brutal forecheck that they can keep the other teams top line hemmed in their own zone. i.e. the Portz goal came from a great forecheck and great net front presence.

This lineup barring injuries should always stay intact. I like Portz on the 4th line better than Constantenni.

I like Jammer in the middle of our shutdown line. Jammer has better wheels then Senden imo.

Kudos to the Senden line and kudos to holding their top line scoreless all weekend.

I think best 3rd period by far. We generated offense while being very defensively responsible. Excellent.

I don’t think it is a question of parity. Our team has aggressively went backwards this season even though we have mostly the same players back. You know we’ve played some good teams and we always get every teams A game.
