Wilbur Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Simpson came in as an underager like Toewser...immediately you have high expectations. I agree his career has not been bad, and it is nowhere near over...he is the same birth year as Jordan Schmaltz... as for the O'Donnell MacMillan line combo- I guess you could do O'Donnell, MacMillan and Parks although I don't think any of them played center last year...you could do this: Knight with Kristo and Caggiula Grimaldi with O'Donnell and MacMIllan Rowney with Parks and Chyzyk St Clair with Rodwell and Pattyn That would also have some balanced scoring...assuming Caggiula has the tools that you expect of an 18 year old freshman and assuming Chyzyk's USHL performance translates to a Parks type player... I also think of making Gleason a forward...having he and Rodwell on the energy line would kill the opponents with their speed Very workable lines. I don't think Parks and McMillan are separated though. Flip Parks and O'Donnell around and that is a very likely lineup. PS: A Gleason-Rodwell-Gaarder would make a good energy line. Not really a true center of that group, but its a line that could match up with a lot of second and third lines of UND opponents. Quote
yzerman19 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 my thought on splitting Parks and MacMillan was due to someone's comment on Hak describing the chemistry between MacMillan and O'Donnell- who knows- as I said the other day, it is just fun prognosticating... It will be heavy competition to skate on that fourth line... If Gleason is playing "up" that takes away a spot too. I think the elder MacMillan, Sanderson, Pattyn, St. Clair and Gaarder will be battling. I think Rodwell will skate most nights. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Yes add mattson to those two as well! Moves the puck nicely! all 3 of those guys will get nice pp minutes. would you make Mattson the QB of your PP2 then? I could support that Quote
yzerman19 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Isn't Dillon Simpson like 19 years old? I know he was like 17 when he came to UND and still could have actually been a Senior in High School... He is relatively young for a college hockey player. yes, he is a 93 birth year- crazy isn't it??? Most guys are still playing junior hockey and he is a junior in college. Probably a wise move if you can get the scholarship- he will earn a free degree while most guys are earning a billet. 1 Quote

He is relatively young for a college hockey player. I remember him having a fairly late birthday for his grade as well, I want to say he doesn't turn 20 until February sometime. He will graduate as a 21 year old, which is close to the age of many freshman in NCAA hockey. Quote

I think the elder MacMillan, Sanderson, Pattyn, St. Clair and Gaarder will be battling. I think Rodwell will skate most nights. When MacMillan and O'Donnell played together in Junior, O'Donnell was the center. I'm not sure if that will stay that way in the NCAA because I think MacMillan's game translates better to center (better skater, more tenacious, more of a play-maker than scorer, defensively responsible etc.) at this level.

The Sicatoka Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 http://publicsearch.ndcourts.gov/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=2447267 Dan Senkbeil: Failure to halt, possession/consumption of alcohol by person under 21. August 31, 2012. A week before his 21st birthday. Now voted most likely to not make the trip to Alaska for the season opening tournament. Quote
senor_sieve Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 there was also a Michael Parks MIP on August 30th, but that's a much more common name than Senkbeil, so it could be a different person. Quote
scpa0305 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Isn't Dillon Simpson like 19 years old? I know he was like 17 when he came to UND and still could have actually been a Senior in High School... He is relatively young for a college hockey player. Half the NHL is 19, that excuse is rapidly dwindling as more and more guys are graduating early to play college. I think Bjugstad did too. However, I think Dillon has 30+ point this year. I do agree with some of you, that I too had high expectation for him. Either way I see him having a great year this year. Quote

I think the elder MacMillan, Sanderson, Pattyn, St. Clair and Gaarder will be battling. I think Rodwell will skate most nights. They played together for a shot while last year as well. However, they had chemistry in Junior A, which is a lot different than college. I still like the chemistry of Rowney, Parks and Macmillan over what he had in juniors. Just saying. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Via Schlossman's blog Two UND players have been punished for receiving minors in possession/consumption of alcohol. Dan Senkbeil, who was cited for a minor and for failure to halt on Aug. 31, was suspended from all team activities for two weeks. He has not yet been cleared by coach Dave Hakstol to play in games. Senkbeil received his minor one week before turning 21. Michael Parks was cited for a minor and his punishment is being handled internally. Parks is 20. Quote
sioux rube Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 A week before his 21st birthday. Now voted most likely to not make the trip to Alaska for the season opening tournament. Hak could go the coach Bohl route I suppose. Quote
brianvf Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 there was also a Michael Parks MIP on August 30th, but that's a much more common name than Senkbeil, so it could be a different person. Do you just randomly search for college hockey players on that website? Quote

siouxkid12 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Via Schlossman's blog This sets the tone for the year, Hakstol knows that he has a good class coming in and there is a possibility of them going pretty far. This just reminds the rest of the team that they have big goals for this year and they better stay on the right track. Quote

UND fans accept the players' punishment without whining. http://www.bisonvill...-of-NDSU-minors Quote
