I think he is one who takes a while to feel comfortable when moving to new levels. I noticed he struggled his first year in the ushl and had a much better second year. I was definitely disappointed when he left. Definitely feels like he would have helped this year. But, it sounds like there was more to it.

Clearly the level is your ceiling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aka, he'd be a player who'd leave after two years because he couldn't score. Good try, though. I think he's proving he can score which is more than many of the guys that didn't leave UND can say. Maybe realized he didn't fit in with the 3-4 goals a season grinder mold that is clogging up the Junior/Senior class. Regardless of one's thoughts of Wilkie for leaving, one can't really argue with the fact that we was shown development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought Wilkie up, in this particular situation, arbitrarily. Could have inserted any name that was a recruit or player who under performed during their time here.

Feel free to direct message me if you need to get something off your chest. Haven't been able to blog in a while, unfortunately. Enjoy being sad about the state of the program. Sorry, I just grow weary of your dudley do right, stomp on unacceptable attitude, board patrolman tactics...

Isn't that what this place is about? I've said many times I'm frustrated with where the program is at. Never claimed to be authority, either. Sorry I've wronged you, sir.

I just feel the need to defend the program, for whatever reason and I happen to be one who doesn't see it collapsing into the abyss that some do, so I bring that opinion here. Been a slow couple days at work, too haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to remember that having different opinions on how to right the ship doesn’t mean we’re okay with how things are going. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't 100% agree with you on a number of things you've posted in this thread, it's nice to read positive comments on occasion. So please don't "step back" from posting. This board has been toxic the last 2 years, although the various sports teams at UND haven't done much to help with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepping back to take a look at what's I've been saying. Just going to do my best to not belittle anyone's opinion, if I have been. Winning cures all ills. I'm very optimistic about next season, in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, winning cures almost all ailments a fan may have. I think the common thing I see scaring myself the most on this forum is an increase in "next year". IMO.

Personally, I'm in next year mode simply because I'm excited to see what these forwards do for our team. I'm hoping for a fun run here in the next few weeks, though. We'll see!

Hope that's not the case but at this point it's clear it's not a physical injury. If he lost 20-25 lbs, I doubt he, the Dr's or the coaching staff would want or permit him to play until he at least gets back to closer to the strength he had before the injury. He may feel great now, but regained strength may take some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldSioux Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Is it possible to make the playoffs still? I.e win out? Home stand vs UMD sweep... i've seen stranger things.. That has gotta be worth something. Can we afford another loss and still make it (loss to UMD vs CC or OMA)? Any stat GURU feel free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick look at the PWR predictor in the Pairwise thread and with no other results counted, a split with Duluth and two sweeps against CC and UNO has us at 13. Sweeping the next six games, we're 11. Losing to UMD we can do, but it's certainly not ideal. Losing to UNO or CC will end our at-large bid, I'd think. We got a shot, but we got a lot of work left to do. Or, win out and win the Frozen Faceoff, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a pretty positive fan, usually one of the last ones to go negative on the team, but without Adam Scheel in net, I have a hard time seeing a way in. And I think this is where a lot of people stand. It’s possible, but starts to seem more unlikely by the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
