I'm just all done with everyone whining with what everyone isn't. Trevor Olson has a prototype power forward body too. He has 2 goals this year.....so extrapolating that do you come up with that equating to 10-15 goals in the NHL? Quote

How many people were lamenting our drafted guys, and still are because they haven't produced like they should? ...well yeah. But typically more skilled players get drafted. There is a direct correlation with kids that get drafted and skill (yes size is a factor but that’s also changing). More skilled players the better. everyone likes to point back to that 2015-2016 team. Although they had caggs and stecher they still had a ton of other drafted players as well. 1 Quote

I think the boys will figure out the PK. Quote

I think the boys will figure out the PK. For some reason, Bowen has gotten a pass from scrutiny, maybe because he always seems to be working hard. Could have used that hard work on that back check when Duluth scored to go up by 2 on Friday after we gained the momentum. If I'm not mistaken, his +/- is down near the bottom as well. Need him to step it up on both ends of the rink, but I guess that can be said of everybody. Quote

Before his injury if I recall, he was our 2nd line center and he’s been 4th line since he returned. Quote

If I had a nickel for every time he failed to clear the dang puck... I'm a fan of Dixon but he made me curse multiple times this past weekend. Quote

His PK struggles are compounded with Gardner out too because we have less PK guys available and if one of the regular PK guys takes a penalty... it’s just trouble. Quote

We didn’t win any championships while he was here. At the end of the day I’ll remember more of the players that had more of an impact on the program. Matt Henderson deserves more applause than Tyson Jost when they each walk into a game at REA. Back on topic, UND got worked on Saturday night! 2 Quote
