Bringing a forward in at this point in the season would make things even worse. These guys need to figure it out with the team they’ve got. Great get for the coaching staff here to build for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense and goaltending is the main issue. Here we agree. And it's not even a D. And the pipeline G doesn't appear to be an answer right now either. Play Johnson for a game. Make it clear the crease is open to first one to 0.900. <-- Yeah, just even that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we got .900 save % each game, we’d probably have like 3-4+ more wins this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 3 goalies in the leave by GAA are all uncommitted. They’re all in the top 4 for save % too. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example- Our newest commit Michael Emerson was still showing as committed to UMass and he decommitted at least a month ago. I just look at the USHL team line charts. Plus on Castro I saw a tweet about him decommitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprises me he didn’t at least make the trip, but I think it’s time for a goalie to step up, and the team to step up and not allow as many quality scoring chances.

brianvf Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 More on Emerson: His original commitment from 2020 to UMass: https://www.tapinto.net/towns/yorktown/sections/sports/articles/hockey-yorktown-s-emerson-chooses-division-1-umass He was down to UMass, Harvard, and BU before committing to UMass. The Herald article: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-lands-commitment-from-forward-michael-emerson Quote After deciding against attending UMass, Emerson took five visits. Four were to Eastern-based schools — Boston University, Northeastern, Quinnipiac and UConn. The other was to UND. Pretty unique situation to be down to five schools with only one being out West. Wonder how much influence his Chicago Steel teammates were to his UND recruitment: Quote This continues a pipeline from the Chicago Steel to UND. The Fighting Hawks now have four commits playing for the Steel — Emerson, Perron, forward Grayden Slipec and defenseman Jake Livanavage. Last season, Jackson Blake played for the Steel, too. Emerson said Perron, Livanavage and Slipec had been hoping he'd join them as UND commits. "Ever since I toured (UND), they were all on me about it," Emerson said. "They were super pumped when I told them today." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much influence his Chicago Steel teammates were to his UND recruitment: I get the feeling, UND is going to be loaded with skill based on some of the recruits they have coming in. Even with the mess in goal, the Freshmen forwards have been really good. Jackson Blake and O-Mac have been very good. Ben Strinden shows a lot of promise with his physicality and offensive skill. Also, Dylan James has shown glimpses of high-end skill. This pickup yesterday is also a positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a solid overage (undrafted) player. He’s on a good line so his number look solid. Hopefully he keeps it up, I’ve noticed the name looking at Chicago’s box scores but never locked into him much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxforce19 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Grayden Slipec just scored his first goal of the season. Would be great if it could springboard into some increased production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
