Would love Spicer / a few freshman blue liners this year. What an absolute disaster on every level. Expand Agree with how you stated this. How many older players did we need? Spicer needed to be involved. It also sends a message to other Grand Forks/East Grand Forks potential recruits, how Spicer was handled. They see Spicer good enough to go directly to UMD. Why would UMD coach feel Spicer was ready? Must be a novice coach. 1 Quote
jk Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 That was like Vikings/ Bears from 1977, three yards and a cloud of dust. Not scintillating. Sandy wins titles that way, but not many others do. Quote

Username Taken Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 On the first goal…how do two forwards end up below the goal line when defensive coverage has been a focus for weeks? I’d start sitting guys like 9 and 22 to send a message. This season is toast anyways. We keep hearing how playing at UND isn’t a privilege, but I guess now it’s fine to only play on one end of the rink. Quote

Expand It does suck, for sure, but if he hadn't done everything he could to try to win this year, don't you think people would be on here complaining about that? "Could have loaded up and gunned for a title, but played it safe." The Spicer thing has been beat to death, but seeing how good Strinden is, I get it now. As for the D, I don't think it was a master plan to not bring anyone in, I think their pipeline stagnated. That's no one's fault but theirs, but it wasn't like they deferred someone who was ready. 1 Quote

Must be a novice coach. Expand Was Spicer ready though? UMD needed a forward, as they lost a ton of forwards last offseason. We already had four freshman forwards that were more ready to come in than Spicer. If we had brought Spicer in this year just so we didn't lose him, he would be sitting more often than not...then he just would have entered the portal after this season anyway. 1 Quote

He his always flopping/diving around out of control and has no idea where he is in the net, if he is in control and stays positionally sound that puck hits him easily on the game winner. The other part is he has absolutely no idea where the puck is going when it hits him, without a doubt among the worst rebound control I've ever seen from a college goaltender. Expand Given that we were/are dead last in nation in save %, I'll take flopping/diving that results in only 2 goals against. 1 1 Quote

Might as well try to score Expand But we can’t win without power play goals. Reminds me a lot of old gopher hockey teams that didn’t play with grit but won when their power play was effective. Five on five tells you what kind of team you have, and we are too soft to win without our pp scoring a couple times a game, and even then … well, you saw the debacle against Western. I would love to see the team come together to prove us message board warriors wrong, but that would require them playing “a full 60”, and that is just asking too much. Quote
