MafiaMan Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I just realized it was back to back nights of giving up 6 straight goals…just when I thought I’d seen it all… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more than likely we're out of the playoffs already due to being one of the worst teams in the nation for defense and team save %.

I think he's just too small. My kingdom for a large goalie. He stopped all three breakaways. And made some big saves when we were up 1-0 and 2-0. Unfortunately once we hit the end of 2nd and all of the 3rd period, everybody on the team faltered, as has become the 22/23 team custom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 22 PWR on December 3 is not out of it. Now if you're projecting that this play will continue all year, then I understand where you're coming from. I've seen enough over the years to believe they can play better, but I recognize they need to be a lot better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Save percentage is linked to a goaltender, but its a team statistic. If we give up 10 shots and they are all breakaways and our goalies stop 8 of 10 then they have a below average save percentage, but they were hung out to dry. The way we are playing defensively has a direct link to our poor save percentage. Goalies haven't been great at all, but what d man has been? And Kaleb Johnson is a practice goalie. If he gets an NCHC start then things have gone really south in the Forks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 This team is long past bag skates. I think the players need to spend time with a really good sports psychologist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 6-10-3 is more likely. I'd be shocked if this team comes back from Kalamazoo with any points. Four games below .500 is a huge hole to climb out of at the halfway point. Especially since right after the Lindenwood series, we play a tough WMU team again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I'm afraid I've lost any hope for this season. I would regain some hope if they were to sweep WMU. Bwahahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Outside of awful defense, poor goaltending, and an offense that can’t keep up, I’d say this team is on the cusp of greatness. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually am optimistic about the team's chances, but this team has me much more pessimistic about their chances. Last year this team was 13-6-0 at the winter break. This team will more than likely be 3-4 games under .500 at the winter break and not showing any signs of being able to keep the puck out of our net. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 For all of Berry's talk about "our culture" and recruiting "culture guys" I have never seen a team roll over and take it with a lead like we do. Berry has lost control and doesn't know how to fix things. And the recruiting - this goalie by portal thing makes no sense -and if we were good at it we would have St. Cloud's goalie. We have Karl as a goalie coach and there is something seriously wrong with our program if we can't get a good frosh and develop him into a multi-year starter. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a false choice. People were just frustrated with the annual semifinal meltdowns. I don't think the people who made comments like that really meant it. The harsh fact is, nobody remembers teams who lose in the semifinals. Not saying it is a healthy perspective, but it is what it is. As for the current dumpster fire this program has devolved into, I don't think anyone saw this coming. However, it absolutely needs to be fixed before we end up like Wisconsin.
