He's an offensive defensemen...that's how they play. Go check out a senators game sometime. All I have to say is that I'm glad he's on our side. Hopefully he stays. Would be a super important junior next year (even with his 1-2 bad pinches a game ). Kids a game changer. Without his style of play that 3rd goal never happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what game you were watching, but 24 was responsible for the first and third goal for BU. he did get us one back. Defensively he is very very average and will not sniff the NHL as a d-man for a long time. I think he would make a great wing on a checking line. In his own zone he sends weak passes out front, looks nervous. In the O-zone he is crisp with passes and has a rocket of a shot. I don't get it but he was far from the best player on the ice, hope the kid sticks around and improves because he has the tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a D-man gets caught below the red line in the offensive zone as the puck breaks out going the other way you're screwed. That happened on goals 1 and 3.

franchise Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I guess I'm in the minority because I really like Wolanin. He has some areas to work on, sure, but he's definitely got talent. I think a lot of opinions will change on him if he sticks around 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swl010 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I hope Wolanin sticks around love watching him play and won't blame any one player on lost yesterday everyone gave their best effort of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw' s d has progressed, while Wolanin' s has digressed this year. Hope he gets it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlop Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Safe to say that injury might not have been the issue for the below par year. NHL teams don't risk 1st round draft picks with injuries in meaningless end of year games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajries18 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Top prospects come to UND because we can get them to the next level. We should not be upset when a player leaves early to play professional hockey. It what makes our program great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked how our D came along. Peski was a man yesterday...and some on here reached to criticize this kid at every chance earlier in the year (as a frosh). As long as we don't lose guys like jost and pogo we should be very good. If we do I still think the team will be ok by the end of the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to Peski... what a massive progression in a pretty short period of time. Had some mistakes early on but after that was solid and kept getting better. I personally went from feeling slightly uneasy with him on ice to complete confidence in defensive abilities. I really like how our D is looking for next year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 It's always darkest before the dawn...yesterday was a bummer, but the sun came up today. I'm hoping for a UMass-Lowell, Air Force, or Michigan Tech title - and a fun 2017-2018 season beginning this fall. To this year's team and those who will leave UND early - thanks for another fun ride this season. Go Fighting Hawks. North Dakota forever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Boeser suiting up less than 24 hours after that type of loss shows these guys understand hockey is a business and every stop is a stepping stone to their ultimate goal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
