stoneySIOUX Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Forward lines today at practice: Costantini - Schmaltz - Blake James - McLaughlin - Gaber Caulfield - Jammer - Sendo Hain - Strinden - Portz Albrecht - Kunz These are 100% different than the lines yesterday, so don't look too hard into these. Fun to see some ideas, though. LOVE the 2nd and third line. Was also told to that apparently Hain tested off the charts with all the Iron Man stuff. Great to hear that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Two freshmen centers. Two freshmen on a line with a guy who is reasonably* responsible defensively. Yeah-no, those are lines for practice and experimentation. *Game day I'd expect that word to be 'exceptionally'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those top 6 are the six guys that can give this team some jump offensively. Mix and match early but they are the top 6 skill wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely don't disagree, but knowing we have two lockdown lines behind them, seeing one of those lines pop isn't a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we will actually see Strinden play center off and on throughout the year. If the freshman acclimate to the college game fast and can be smart defensively, those top 2 lines could be wicked. We just badly need someone on a line that can help Gaber to reach the potential that he has offensively. I’m also a big fan of that 3rd line as a great shut down line with size that also has the potential to score. Jammer seems to be our best faceoff guy going into the year but maybe that’ll change.

Great to hear that. These two top lines could be pretty darn fun to watch. Lots of offensive talent...hopefully those three freshmen get up to speed relatively quickly, as they could really help out offensively this year. Great to hear on Hain as well...he could be poised for a breakout offensive year based on how he was playing when he got hurt last year.

Freshman forwards certainly stand a better chance of excelling than D-men, who have a tougher learning curve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxForever Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 This team at forward has a lot of pieces to shuffle the deck and with matchups against teams. With Albrecht development and Portz speed, can be quite effective. Then coaches I would imagine can toss in Strinden as heavy/gritty player against bigger teams once he develops and is sound in his own end and adjusts to the college game. If Ness can play with some more skilled players, maybe he gets more looks this year too and ups his Gs. Bottom line, team at forward has depth because which is good, because unfortunately injuries will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Ranger Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 One thing I really like with our forward group is I see completely different players that should be PP guys vs. PK guys. I like being able to roll out Senden-Jammer and Hain-Caufield for PK and then have that top 6 to mix and match for the PP. Yes Caufield will probably get the net front look on the PP but I really like being able to have different guys for each role. Should allow everyone to have more energy late in games if special teams plays a large part in the game not to mention it's nice not having to have your skill guys jumping in front of pucks blocking shots all game long on the PK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought process is why I like adding Sidorski. He has a reputation as a defensive minded shot blocker. Assuming he's playing, I'd like to keep PK pucks off of Ethan Frisch and Chris Jandric so their legs are more lively late in games. In general, I'd like the third pair to be able to play more PK and keep that wear off the top pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these are very preliminary and experimental lines, but I have a feeling Kunz is going to end up in the lineup most nights and maybe even top 6 or middle 6. With his size, speed, and puck retrieval abilities, this seems like a year for him to make a big jump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are big bodies that seem to play timid. They almost are too nice on the ice. Maybe in the pre-game tunnel Senden or Frisch needs to "cup check" them and then point down the way and say, "Did you just see that rotten < opponent name here > that just did that to you? You gonna take that?" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well clearly he's giving McLaughlin and Blake a long look up top. Blake is basically top 6 or potentially not in the lineup. Offensive wizard but definitely a liability on the D side of things. I havent really watched McLaughlin all that much. I think Kunz needs a long look to build some confidence. He's an offensive guy, needs a shot. Interesting OM is over both MC and JS...maybe they run more of a top 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a look on the top pp though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
