Goon you dont havento keep kissing Hawk butt to keep ur press pass....

Yes. You can cut those players. At the end if season for most... could and should have dumped JJ and hoff yesterday. 

If they dont produce, they dont give effort, they dont get to here. Period. 

 

I am not kissing anyone's ass, I don't think the current mind set of this team is very good right now. I think that's on the players. There must still be a locker room issues going on here. Sounded like it came out against WMU on Saturday night. I think they need a Black Monday or two.

I thought I read that UND had the most draft choices in the NCHC? 

Yep. Tail end of the Hak recruiting.  For the most part.

[Oldguy]

Right now, its looking like this season is going to be over before Christmas break.

Oh, I beg to differ.  We have had some tragic defending (more last year than this, but still sad).  What we need is some offensive firepower to fire up the team and the fans, and put a little jump in the player's skates.

Isn’t that what he’s saying?  The issue is that without jones our senior class isn’t that productive and our junior class is terrible.  You’re leaving everything to a sophomore class (that is underachieving) and freshman.

Meh on Yon, what has he done.

On Bowen, you keep  him because he brother is doing well.

 

Bowen is good on the PK

I wonder what Blais would have done in our current predicament?

Blais would have let the gorilla out of the cage long ago.

Since you're on a roll,  who would cut off this team. Do you send Hoff packing, thanks for playing good bye. Does Zach Yon gets his walking papers. Dixon Bown, you're out of here. You still have to replace them with someone. 

All of those players were highly regarded out of juniors. Do you just start cutting players and bringing in recruits at the halfway point? You have to have players that check and kill penalties. That proven fact. All the NHL team have role players. 

PK isn't very good this year.

One thing that has caught me eye it appears UND is relying heavily on the BCHL. A lot of Sandy's recruits are from the arean around Duluth. 

Just an observation.

What was the final score?

To be fair, neither is the PP or even-strength...

The closest this UND team will get to the Frozen Four this season will be it’s trip to Canisius in January.

Nevermind then. I thought Ethan was his brother.

A lot of his recruits played ushl as well...and had success in that league.

Stop. Did you just say Yon and Bowen were highly regarded out of juniors? Did you see their numbers coming in? Yikes, get a better memory or do some research. They both had awful numbers in juniors. Hoff has good numbers and was a big recruit. 

What I would have done is last summer I would have encouraged Yon, Bowen and Johnson to look elsewhere. Berry needed to do it after their Sophomore year. He didn’t and you have this 5 man anchor of a forward junior class around the neck of this program for two more years. Of those 5 btw, Hoff was the only “highly regarded” one in the bunch.

[siouxfan512]

I remember players saying they were always nervous to let Hak down, because he was a hardass. But that players didn't want to let Bubs down.

Seems like that mentality worked for about a year, when player were adjusting to Hak leaving. Maybe the coach need to be more of a coach and less of a buddy.

That may not be accurate, but it is certainly the perception right now.

[bcblues]

Another PP.  Dogs probably WANT us to have a PP at this point.....

So now we're diving too... so bad... so so bad....

3 years of this is enough. Would they fire berry at Xmas break if they get swept by UMD Duluth and lose to under 18?
