The Sicatoka Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Nine lowest scorers on the team last year: - four now in the portal (G, D, D, F) - one is out of eligibility (G) - another is a G (say Cheese) - remaining three are F with five or six* points (Kunz, Ness, Albrecht) It's not like we lost production. *six points is max of this group of nine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent talent coming in and four sophomore-to-be forwards who could take steps and be the heart of this team for the next few years. While DeRidder was not the whole problem and was strong down the stretch, it'll be hard for goaltending overall to be much worse than this year. On D some of the new guys are young and higher end, and some have paid their dues. A nice mix. Again, it may not be pretty, but they can't give the puck away too much more than last year's group did. I am truly anticipating a fun bounceback year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am truly anticipating a fun bounceback year. I think next year’s team, while young/new, will benefit from lower expectations. Depends on 25 and 15, of course, and a few sophs will have high expectation for themselves, but the team will feel like it’s starting new. or maybe not.

He's similar to Costantini in that he had a freshman year that showed a lot of promise and then he tailed off last year. I remember him being quite fast though. If we're looking to add speed, he's one to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mentioning a point of interest and I find it curious why he entered the portal. He played in 34 games and like others have said, he’s a speedy little forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their D is consistently porous at best. Supposedly DeRidder had an adjustment period at the Ralph. Bringing someone in who is familiar may be a factor too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t ever hear anything about him. We did rip him the last game though. Like I said before, sometimes there is no pressure when you are playing for Miami, just like DeRidder with Michigan State, so it ramps up significantly here. I know he can only stop the puck, but I remember David Carle saying Denver’s philosophy is to recruit winners. That said, he isn’t a small goalie and looks the part, even if his save percentage is a shade under .900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 At CC Basse was sub .900, this year he was at .911. Count me in on hoping Berry and staff are after Persson. Just seems like he's going to be the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedquist has proven enough where he should be here next year. Hope he is as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
