Unless I've missed something, all I see are a couple of people saying they don't know if they do. Expand I would be shocked if they don't have skating instructors come in once or twice a year and have all the training, drills and video instruction that go with it and several players also may do it on their own over the summer as well. 1 Quote

Much more crisp. Expand This isn't just a UND thing, the Boston Bruins were passing to the opposition all series long. Ugh! 1 Quote

Expand Yeah, I get where you're coming from. You made it clear that you don't know either way. A few people were making assumptions about an unanswered question, and they were starting to roll that snowball downhill. Just wanted to point out that no one here has any direct knowledge that they DON'T do these things. 1 Quote

brianvf Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Quote “I really enjoyed my time here in North Dakota. It was a great group of guys here,” Luke Bast said. “I really did enjoy my time here, but at the same time, for me, going into my sophomore year, I was expecting to hopefully get a little bit more opportunity and that wasn't the case. And that's fine, that's all part of the business and I get it.” Expand I think a lot of that had to do with his injury. An injury that was even stated earlier in the article, that it lingered for the whole season. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 If he wasn't healthy, if he had the effects of a lingering injury, the alternative to sit him is play him and risk worse injury and longer recovery. Damned if ya do, ... Quote

Expand Him starting the year injured was unfortunate but even so he was starting the year as our 4th Left handed D in the pecking order as Sidorski was brought in to be our 8th defenseman and Farmer was going to be our #2 or 3 right handed D man. If Bast had been healthy he could have supplanted Cooper Moore who held the job by default early in the year because Bast was inured. I was far more comfortable with Bast being in the lineup over Moore at the end of the season but maybe his injuries were holding him back a bit. Quote

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 The ones that stuck out to me, didn't realize Matt Wellens didn't quote Bast in the 1st one(wonder why): Bast said he respects that UMD took him out of the transfer portal to fill a void on the roster this season, not to push out any other current players or recruits. He also respect how protective the staff is of the program’s culture. “Everyone talks about culture, like literally every program,” Bast said. “There’s some programs that actually walk the walk and other programs that talk the talk. What I’ve heard from Duluth is they walk the walk when it comes to culture. That was very appealing to me.” 1 Quote

Popular Post AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted May 5, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted May 5, 2023 Nobody makes me appreciate Schloss more than Wellens. Hatten and Myers are both good at their jobs, as was Shane Frederick. Wellens is not. 8 Quote
