Irish Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 49 minutes ago, Walsh Hall said: The same folks complaining now did the same for Hak. He apparently couldn’t win the big game and needed to go. I don't think it's too much to expect our program to win some regional games and get to the Frozen Four regularly - Apparently on this board that is too high an expectation. Frustrations were for Hak were that he needed to win to win a Natty - frustrations for Bubs are that he needs to win a regional game. Sad. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad. @Walsh Hall is also okay with Bubba's totally unearned and undeserved extention over on the FB forum, so you shouldn't be surprised. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not spinning, as I’m guessing the staff would have wanted both. But they've shown to do well getting good players out of the portal when needed, so I trust they have a plan to fill any holes should any further pro or portal departures happen.

SiouxFanSince1990 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Can Blake sign already. The anticipation is driving me up the wall… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull the dang ripcord so we can say congrats, thank you, and reconcile/move on or say you’re coming back now. That works too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes 100% perfect sense, because if you’re going to complain about a semi-final loss in the national tournament, you’re no doubt going to complain about a regional semi-final loss in the national tournament. UND’s post season performances are trending in the wrong direction. They are not getting closer to a national title, they are getting farther away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. Best of luck to him moving forward. Wish we could have gotten another year out of him, and honestly think he could have certainly used it, but understand why Carolina was pushing so hard to get him into their system. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than the power play running through Blake, they’ll need to whip the puck around a little faster to get those cross ice openings for some one timers from Berg and Perron. Hopefully Perron recognizes this as an opportunity for him to be the man on the power play, and to be more of a trigger man period with his shot.

Benny Baker Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Does anyone know why it hasn’t been reported that Blake has signed? Morrow signed. Nadeau signed. Why hasn’t Blake yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
