Siouxperfan7 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Current active NCAA appearance streaks: Denver - 11 Providence - 5 BU, UMD - 4 Notre Dame - 3 Schools, even really good programs, typically miss the tournament from time to time. Given the parody now in college hockey, we may never see a 15 year run of NCAA tournament appearances like UND just had for a long time....or ever again!!

SiouxScore Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 2 hours ago, stoneySIOUX said: Let's check back in like 5 years so Bubbs can have more than 2 of "his" recruits on the team, shall we? Btw his two... Kawaguchi, which everyone sees as the most improved player on the team; and Jones, our leading goal scorer and a player who will wear a letter in his season season. Pretty good, so far Rieger was his recruit too...although in my mind as soon as Berry took the job the entire team and pipeline became his recruits especially because he was in on recruiting most of them. If there was anyone he thought wasn't a good fit or couldn't play at UND he would have cut them lose like Mattson this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have this strange affection for bottom six grinder guys. Yes, you need them, but not 12 of the 15 forwards. Simonson: 139 games, 9 goals Olson: 121 games, 11 goals Smith: 66 games, 8 goals Bowen: 66 games, 8 goals Yon: 60 games, 4 goals This team needs offense, both mindset and production. Good post. There’s more than 5x5 hockey. I get building a team to play in the postseason is important (when refs swallow their whistles)...but you have to get there first.

fsioux Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Brad's article on Wolanin, Gersich, Gardner and Poolman hopefully is considered by each of these guys in their decision process. Pretty telling that 75 percent of those that weren't first or second round draft picks that left early in the past 2 years have yet to play a single game in the NHL. Some never will. They need to use all the leverage they have available and not make a hasty and bad emotional decision. Hopefully talking to some of their ex-teammates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsh Hall Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 2 hours ago, SiouxBoys said: No they were not. I suspect that Bowen was not, but the hope was Yon would be able to put the puck in the net when he was recruited while in HS. Nothing in his junior career gave the appearance of a scorer at the college level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Brad isn't ENCOURAGING them to go pro so that they can donate 10% of their signing bonus back to the university in the hopes of reinstating women's hockey!
