burd Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 47 minutes ago, UNDMOORHEAD said: I'm not questioning his loyalty or patience. Sometimes if you want something you have to take it. His goal should be to work harder and perform better than Cam in practice. That, in my mind, would only help both players. It'd be nice to have two goalies pushing each other and splitting time every weekend or every other. Or just the ability to go with the hot hand while having confidence in both guys. Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest I thought you were wrong. I agree that the competition is good for the team, and maybe he doesn't have enough competitive edge. Either way, I hope he gets his shot somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek needs minutes and they just aren't here, as for UND, I'd rather have Thome back up Johnson this year (hopefully splitting some time). Agreed. Thome will only play if Cam is injured however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had great showings in the minimal ice time that he has had, but neither did Cam when he first played. If I remember right, he got rocked in his first appearance, and started his National Championship season with a couple soft goals to Maine. If Tomek had the ability to get a little consistent playing time, this year or next, maybe he really shows us what he's got. I hope he stays, but I understand if he does not. Even if he does go to the USHL, I hope the coaches stay in contact with the kid. Maybe he comes back for another try. Who knows... I also agree with that statement however too much has happened to him here. They probably need a split. Tomek needs to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxForever Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 So long Tomek! I wish you nothing but happiness and the best. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. Again, best of luck. Hope you put up some solid stats in the USHL and continue your development! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is young, and possibly thought that he was already good enough to play at this level. If this is true, a year in the USHL might be of great benefit to him.

Spotlight at The Ralph is too bright 2. He hasn't put the work in & Rinks was the 2nd best goalie all season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think the USHL is the right place for him. In all honesty the kid should have played in the USHL the natty season, but the coaches really had no clue what they'd be getting with Cam after Zane left and I'd be willing to bet they all thought they'd eventually have to turn to Matej full time that season. Get a year of games in Waterloo, and if it's right for him come back to Grand Forks with two years of eligibility remaining. If it doesn't work out, best of luck elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo, this is partly on the coaches/team. I get why the coaches did it, but Tomek clearly needed more time in juniors. This whole situation was mishandled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
