I Ranger Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 2 hours ago, Goon said: I was told that he wasn't a team first guy, and the coaching staff walked away from him. Yes I have heard the reasoning behind it but how about you take a chance on a talented kid that you recruited from a young age that once you get him into this "culture" that he can become a team guy! Isn't that coaching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jk Posted January 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2023 This applies to many recent posts about lineup decisions, strategy, and any other program decisions. Does anyone think they've thought of something the coaching staff hasn't? Like, you're the genius. These guys who have devoted their lives to it, have actually played at high levels, have seen everything you've seen but ten or twenty or a hundred times more, it hadn't occurred to them? Several decades ago, I learned that at any given time, about a quarter of the roster is dealing with some kind of drama, issues with girls, or substances, or school, or family, you name it. If you recall your early twenties, you may understand. I don't know anything about now, maybe now the drama count is zero. The point is that there are many factors that go into decisions, and we don't have any idea what's really going on. I should add that this concept of things going sideways for a portion of a group of college students isn't just a UND thing, or a hockey thing. Anyway, none of the coaches could do my job, and they'd know that. I can't do their jobs either, but I am comforted to know that if they moved on, there are dozens of qualified posters that would clearly be upgrades. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that coaches at the college level have much more in-depth knowledge and expertise than those of us here on this board. However, it is very possible for a coach to be so enamored and committed to their philosophy and systems that they are slow to adapt or change with the times. It can be very difficult to do an self evaluation. In addition, coaches are 100% responsible for the roster - evaluating talent and intangibles and selling the program. If everyone on this board is wrong about all of the line-up and game items it still doesn't explain why we have the worst goaltending in the nation. That's squarely on the coaches. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Couple of notes about our opponent: 1. When was the last time we played a Duluth team that ranked 13 spots below us in the PWR? Its been a while ... 2. UND has 12 forwards with more points than Cole Spicer's 2-2=4. 3. UMD has a lack of production from a couple "Gr" holdovers: Tanner Laderoute and Jesse Jacques with 9 points between them, and combining for -9.

TheFlop Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Split coming up. Spicer will outscore Senden and Hain combined, effectively putting the finishing touch on UNDs season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 All these what if scenarios......xG record, don't blow two games with three goal leads, blah blah blah. This team is 9-10-4....that's the reality. Here's what I do know about extremely successful people....when the outcome they are looking for isn't what they are getting under continued circumstance and methodology they change both. Not real complicated. Square peg...round hole. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
