AJS Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Even though the year is over and for as frustrating as this team was offensively and the PP was the worst I've ever seen, it's crazy to think that if UND just didn't get swept by Western in Grand Forks, if they won the Friday game they dominated, they would have finished 3rd and not 5th in the NCHC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Lots of coulda shoulda, but they didn't. I've never been so angry about a season, not even in 2002, when they only won 16 games. That team was flat out too young. They did relatively well the year after. This season was bad loss after bad loss by a team that was not young - just underperforming. Some say the players aren't talented enough, or the system robs them of creativity. Either way, the program has taken a huge step backward, and that is what many of us who get angry about poor seasons care about. I don't expect Natties, or even Frozen Fours, every year, but I sure as hell expect better than we got the last two years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they’ll definitely get in next year. The only thing that worries me is that senior class. Would be huge if poolman stuck around for one more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be misinterpreting your post, but it seems you're blaming him for not expressing his concerns earlier to coaches/trainers. While I agree that it could have been helpful, I also think when you get to the upper levels of competitive hockey, there's a stigma to admitting something is wrong and seeking that help. Hell, it's something that has a stigma in everyday life. I think instead of blaming the player, we blame and work to fix the culture of making players feel like they have to hide/play through their problems/injuries. Every year, we hear about guys who play through some horrific types of injuries that would have sidelined a normal person for months. And we applaud the guys for being tough and old-time hockey players. And that's what these kids feel: they need to push through the pain and suffering, even if it's detrimental to the team at times. And especially, even if it's detrimental to their long-term health. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to play through it. Went through a million tests. Kept trying to play. Seems like a hockey player that most would laud around here. Instead, he was having his attitude and toughness questioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to point out...Kaip never told the coaches that he was having post-concussion syndrome symptoms. Hakstol only found out because Kaip forgot what drill they were doing in the middle of a practice. There are a lot of hockey players who would push through symptoms and not tell because they want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Didn’t he also say something in the article about what the guys would think about something that had no diagnosis. I am sure fans questioning him didn’t make it easier to say he has this problem that can’t be identified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
