Wilbur Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 5 minutes ago, MafiaMan said: Well, to be fair, UND didn’t LEAVE town, so your point is moot. Sandelin will have his boys ready while Berry will be debating on what jerseys to have the kids wear. OT shootout loss on Friday and the Bulldogs earn the Sunday morning mimosas after a W on Saturday night. I'm guessing there isn't any debate on what jerseys to wear anymore. Quote

Not sure if it would make our defense any better with the three of them, but maybe we could score more five on five. 1 Quote

Yes we can say Halliday and Morrow but not to beat a dead horse but again Rizzo de-commit caught the coaches by surprise. They thought he would be here last year. Quote
N of GF Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 1 hour ago, I Ranger said: I think this is the biggest whiff in recruiting so far. Bringing in a player who clearly wasn't ready (and still physically isn't in year 2) for college hockey instead of Morrow who was told he needed a year in the USHL. Yes I know there were other rumors/circumstances that lead to his de-commit but it all started with Berry telling him he needed to play USHL when clearly the player brought in needed another. 1 hour ago, Oxbow6 said: Spicer is holding on line 3 A lot of people here would love to know what you two know about these private conversations between a coaching staff and a potential player. Please share what you can. I understand that you probably don't have permission from the parties involved to share everything you know. Quote

Spicer did a video interview on Rink Live where he said "I've gotta do what's best for me" when asked about it. Can't believe he wasn't ready for it with a better response. He wasn't ready, and both Judd and Hain should have waited too. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Any coincidence that time may have finally caught up with two guys that played under Gino and coached under Blais? Any chance the game has passed their style of play by finally? Asking for David Carle. No. Wait. He doesn't care. Quote

They are legacy-1980s hockey guys. Can we jump into this century, when speed and skill and team defense began to be emphasized over dump and grind. See: Jon Cooper. Quote

Thinking about it, UND has the same problem in football: Our head coach still coaches like his 1980s mentor. The game has changed. 2 1 Quote
