TheFlop Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Senden isn't fast.....he isn't big.....but he seems to have the knack for being in the right place at the right time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him walking around during intermission at Friday’s game and didn’t see any noticeable casts, braces, foot in a boot... (which might not mean anything) I would think if he was healthy we would have seen him Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrollment currently....Mankato 15,000 -UND 13,600.... I think the poster meant 'big hockey power'.... Not sure that Hastings will be leaving Minnesota State anytime soon, he just signed a 10 year contract last year that included a pretty hefty raise and a lot more money for the program, also I've heard there is pretty hefty finders fee clause in there too to help keep other schools from trying to poach him, but I haven't found confirmation on that just rumors. http://www.mankatofreepress.com/sports/contract-shows-minnesota-state-s-commitment-to-hockey-mike-hastings/article_39cfffaa-aee6-11e7-bbef-8f4aafbda142.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real game time, I think a lot of what looks like speed is anticipation and positioning. A sense of where the puck is gonna be. That can make an average player look fast. That's why a team that is out of rhythm is always chasing and a step or two late to the puck. Like geaux says, some players improve clock speed too. Most of the guys at this level have had pretty good strength and conditioning and speed mechanics coaching for quite a few years though. Disclaimer: burd doesn't know shiat.

Godsmack Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 What’s the story with Senden? Was itnhim who was asked to come in at the last minute due to another commit falling through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was ready - I get the impression he thought he was gonna be coming in, then they deferred him, and then Carter Huber decided to stay home weeks after they announced the freshman class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also some that speculated that he wouldn't come at all based on his USHL numbers. It goes to show you that numbers aren't everything and can be deceptive depending on the roles players are fulfilling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His teams win - that’s not a coincidence. He’ll be a captain here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be a captain here. No doubt. Kid works his sack off and is positionally sound. I was bummed to not see Hain as I thought he was good against BSU. If he's hurt, hopefully it's very minor. I'm loving our freshmen. JBD is so solid, Tychonick looked very good this weekend and Weatherby is a budding stud, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s curious though as I decided to do a quick check on Huber and he’s on the roster for the University of Victoria Vikes hockey team. He’s played 2 games so far.
