Wilbur Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Well, the Q exposed us a bit defensively, but that's okay. Early season kicks to the nuts are better than ones that end your season in March. We best have a good film session on defensive zone coverage because the Gophs have a few good forwards on their team that buzz a bit. Coaches... Please....19-27-10, and put Blake with Gaber and Schmaltz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 UND wants to play with speed. Q wanted to clog it up and slow it down. Goldie wants to play with speed on their glacier. Can they flip styles and get rid of the defensive gawking in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather keep Gaber and McLaughlin on the same line, but we could find another winger for them and go back to 19-27-10 and I’d be cool with that.

tnt Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Did Kunz's roughing penalty when we were going to be on the power play against Quinnipiac earn him a weekend sitting at home? Does Ness get put back in the lineup this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the space on Mariucci's ice surface isn't exactly a cure for bad defensive coverage. Now they have to worry about proper gapping with all the extra room. Thankfully they have the Olympic ice surface at the Ralph to at least have some time to prepare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 So, will the injury status of 5 or 24 change this week? And was 11 hurt (surprised he was scratched twice)? And do you start 32 or 34 on Friday? Either have "big ice" experience? I guess 34 should've played at UMn before ... for MiSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put him with Ness/Strinden and Albrecht/James. I agree on McLaughlin. Maybe you go 9-22-17, and then 18-8-28. I think putting Gaber together with Blake is an experiment that has to happen. Just got a feeling that those two gel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys kept their feet moving and played their positions. I wouldn't say they slowed it down, but you do have cred with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my thoughts exactly along with the obvious of 19-27-10. I said this weekend after friday night when I thought McLaughlin may have been the best player on the ice that it was inevitable that 9-22-17 found there way on a line together. My only concern is finding James a line. When Berry went to 3 lines on friday night down 3, he put him with 17 and 22 and wasn't out of place. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually said during Friday’s game: “Hear me out, a Gaber-McLaughlin-James top line” I know they have James in the bottom 6 because he’s versatile enough that he can fit there, but it feels like a waste of his talent at times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Looks like we'll be taking on the #1 ranked Goofers this weekend. Hopefully the boys can knock them down a peg or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son, I’ve seen some dumb penalties in my day and despite the boos from the students who obviously weren’t paying attention when it happened, that one was as DUMB as they come.

burd Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 These tough games early on are best medicine, especially with an experienced coaching staff. They got a taste of success and comeback excitement, now the learning curve part. This isn't the USHL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSSioux Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Here are my thoughts on the lines against Minny on just what I have seen so far and a bit of commentary on why: Gaber Schmaltz Blake Hain Senden Jamernik Costantini McLaughlin James Ness Strinden Caulfield Extra Forward: Kunz/Albrecht Frisch Kleven Moore Jandric Farmer Johnson DeRidder We have a great wealth on center on this team, but we need the best face off guy with Blake and Gaber, and that is Schmaltz right now. Defensively this is not a great line, and I would play Kleven and Frisch with them as much as possible. I could see McLaughlin swapping with Schmaltz, without a lot of issues. Costantini needs to play on a scoring line, and being with McLaughlin I think is a great way to bring in a little more offense. Strinden needs to get some more time, and I think this could be a great heavy line. They may not see a great deal of ice time on the big sheet in Minny (Probably 10-13 minutes of 5x5). I think Kunz plays Saturday in place of Ness in that swap with Ness. I had seen a lot of DeRidder the last couple of years and he is a great goaltender. He will prove that in the future. The D will get themselves together and I like the Sidorski/Johnson line as Sidorski is a little more defensive minded and can back up Johnson or Bast when he gets back.

Oxbow6 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 James and Hain are interchangeable. They are top 6 and top 6A. Unfortunately Judd has been an underwhelming enigma for 3+ years. He isn't a top 9 guy right now. Farmer was our best defenseman vs Q and it wasn't close. No way he should sit. He wasn't on the ice for 6 goals this past series. On big ice Ness Strinden Albrecht could more than hold their own as a 4th line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ty Farmer will be in the lineup on Defense. I would also personally rather play 7 D right now instead of an extra forward. Especially while the defense gets figured out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree it would be Farmer with Johnson at D. I also agree with the possibility of playing an extra D on the big ice, which would be Bast if he is healthy. I do stick with the forward lines that I have, but would not want the fourth line out with the top Minny line unless Albrecht was a part of it instead of Ness. Since Minny has the last change, that is my reason for concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
