Goon Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Tomorrow is hump day. The 89th day of 177 days without UND hockey this summer. Thank God! In the whole grand scheme of things, Ducktober and UND Hockey season is just around the corner. Once you get to July 4th, you're half way home. 1 Quote
AZSIOUX Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm guessing we have many players at NHL rookie camps this last week and upcoming week. Any reports yet? Saw via twitter odonnell won a 3v3 whatever that is at the Tampa camp. Quote

Goon Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 God I hope that is a sign that he is going to break out this year... O'D played with a banged up hand for most of last season... Quote
scpa0305 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I liked the article in J. Schmaltz. I think he is going to have a phenomenal year. In that article (posted on Goon's site) Armstrong noted he is still a long ways away from being a pro...does that mean there is a chance he could come back for his senior year? I doubt it Quote
scpa0305 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 http://www.tampabay....nt-camp/2187391 I too am hoping this is O'Donnell's year. I have not been as high on him as some of the others but sometimes breakthroughs can happen your senior year. We need to have a strong top 6 this year. Quote

I have not been as high on him as some of the others but sometimes breakthroughs can happen your senior year. We need to have a strong top 6 this year. I think it's highly dependent on his ability to stay healthy. If he stays healthy, I think it'll show. Quote

I doubt it In case you haven't seen it. This kind of proves the point the NHL folks like Hakstol. “It’s a great hockey program there, it’s a pressure school, and he’s succeeded there,” said Bill Armstrong, the Blues’ director of amateur scouting — who drafted Schmaltz and has watched him an estimated dozen times the past two seasons .

hrkac Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I think that O'D is a very talented player and I think that he could have a breakout season this year. agreed. he made huge strides last year and it seems to all be coming together for him as a player this summer. I like to hear his skating has gotten better as that's one thing i think he could improve. Quote

I like to hear his skating has gotten better as that's one thing i think he could improve. Agreed.....and he does have one heck of a shot. If he comes in and is on top of his game (and can play a top 6 role well) that would be huge for this team. Quote
siouxczech29 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Agreed.....and he does have one heck of a shot. If he comes in and is on top of his game (and can play a top 6 role well) that would be huge for this team. So if OD proves to be a top 6 would you agree that the other 5 would be #s 9 16 15 8 and 27? That would provide for a very strong 3rd line. Quote
I Ranger Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 So if OD proves to be a top 6 would you agree that the other 5 would be #s 9 16 15 8 and 27? That would provide for a very strong 3rd line. I would like to see a line of Pattyn-St.Clair-Gaarder as a third line that can grind it out and be able to play against other teams top lines as a shut down line. I think we have missed having a solid experienced shut-down line recently that can eat up minutes against other teams top lines and conserve our top two scoring lines energy. Quote

I think that makes sense...I'm hoping 27 can take another step forward. He had a nice middle of the year but drifted off towards the latter part of the year. Typical for a (true) freshman. Quote

I think we have missed having a solid experienced shut-down line recently that can eat up minutes against other teams top lines and conserve our top two scoring lines energy. I think Pattyn and Gaarder have to be together on that third line. I will be interesting to see who Hak puts with them. If Hak can roll 4 lines even strength that line makes sense....then I would like to see a young line in the 4th spot. Chyzk/Simonson/Poganski/Murphy/Olson/St. Clair are all fighting for one spots on the 3rd/4th lines. I still think there may be an opening on the second too. Quote
scpa0305 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 It looks as though Schmaltz is having a very productive Hawks camp. Good to see, can't wait for him to suit up for us. Quote
scpa0305 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=726037 Sounds as though Mark Mac had a decent camp. Quote
siouxczech29 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=726037 Sounds as though Mark Mac had a decent camp. I love seeing our guys getting mentioned during these camps. Quote
scpa0305 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I love seeing our guys getting mentioned during these camps. Ditto. After his freshman season, I have been expecting Mark to explode. At times, he looks so good, the production simply hasn't been there (based on what is expected of thim). Without a doubt, I think he's a pt/gm guy this year (although I said the same thing last year ). I really like his play; hopefully he stays healthy this year. Quote
