32 was in his comfort zone last night, nobody scoring for him and his team giving up four breakaways. :lol:

 

This is sadly hilarious but true. But man he has to give them a fair amount of confidence (especially in games they can score haha)

It appears to me our recruiting, has really dropped off and you could tell last night, but as Sony Stu would say he’s excited about our upcoming classes as an every classes

The Ralph is famously hospitable to 25 year old Canadians like Close.

This really is an underrated comment.

Like it's only gunna sell at a very specific gallery of comments.. but it's gunna go high to a learned and sophisticated bidder.

100% on this and he really never was one with a ton of offensive skill/upside which is why I was surprised they were trying him as wing when you have James ready for that slot. I've said this to a few people this summer/fall Schmaltz is a solid third line center on a good team who can kill penalties and maybe even matchup against other teams top lines. Don't force him into what he isn't. 

Schmaltz is another one who’s had a super long leash. I just don’t see it. Perron has to be on the top PP.

I think the lack of a returning D corps showed. There are some decent guys back there and it will get better. Goaltender was solid.  We have to be less stubborn up front and be willing to chip it in and go get it when the play isn’t there. Also shoot more!

If you go back and watch the fourth goal, Persson made the save, no one was near or challenged the Gophers shooter. They didn't clear the puck. That can be fixed. The Gophers played well last night, they got in the lanes and challenged the UND shooters all night long. I expect things will be better tonight.

Are you still drunk? This year's freshmen and the incoming classes are going to be very good. I recommend listening to Schlossman's podcast. He's has a pretty good handle of the recruiting.

I think that 4th goal was just from 0 effort because of the empty netter just before.

That could be too.

I’ll watch my words here. Schmaltz is fine, but I don’t see him as a Top 6/9 forward. Incredibly low offensive ceiling. I don’t understand why he’s a Top 6 / PP fixture.

He was our top faceoff guy last year and that was the reason I thought he played top 6 last year. Then they moved him to wing so I see no point to have him there if he’s not taking draws.

PP is 1 for 12....not good

Last year we scored a pp goal in how many straight games then dropped a bit.  Hopefully we can get it going and keep it consistent into the playoffs.

I don’t think it’s even shown signs of life for most of the first 3 games either. Sometimes we aren’t converting but still getting good chances but I’m not even seeing that.

He was owned by Nelson on pp face offs , couldn’t by a win and gophers got the clear , try Berg tonight.

Minnesota was better on faceoffs all night. 

McLaughlin won 4 of 13 draws.  (Yikes)
Schmaltz was 4 for 8. Berg was 10 for 18.

Our recruiting took a dive for a few years, but it's rebounded big-time recently.

Switch Emerson for Schmaltz. Give Emerson minutes and see what he can do. If he struggles, go back to it next Friday. Put James 2nd / Emerson 3rd / Schmaltz extra. My point is make guys earn spots. Give opportunities to young players. I know it feels like I’m picking on Schmaltz, but he’s not the only one. This year will be better than last (better talent level), but there’s still some guys who are big minute “locks” that are baffeling
