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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they moved him to wing so I see no point to have him there if he’s not taking draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was owned by Nelson on pp face offs , couldn’t by a win and gophers got the clear , try Berg tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota was better on faceoffs all night. McLaughlin won 4 of 13 draws. (Yikes) Schmaltz was 4 for 8. Berg was 10 for 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend listening to Schlossman's podcast. He's has a pretty good handle of the recruiting. Our recruiting took a dive for a few years, but it's rebounded big-time recently.

AJS Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFanSince1990 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Our top power play should be Johannes in the slot. Perron on the left, Gaber on the right. Britt/Weibe and Blake on the blue line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah Schmaltz is not a top 6 guy with the talent we have but Berry will never in a million years put schmaltz as the extra skater. Either way I think we need to see Ness tonight. Not a great faceoff guy but steady defensively, good with puck possession and can be opportunistic offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re talking generally about UND’s 4 centers on lines 1-4. I was talking about a potential top power play unit. The options listed were Johannes, Gaber, Perron, and Blake. Who takes the draw on that unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve done it in the past, where once we win the draw, the center comes off the ice. Schmaltz for Johannes. It works. The idea is to use Blake to create space for Perron and Gaber, our best shooters. Right now, it’s just Gaber and Blake passing the puck back and forth. It’s way too predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s way too predictable. I am actually curious if they’d ever try Johannes at center. I’m pretty sure I heard it said that he has played center before.
