jk Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I hope he can make the whole "going this way, no the other way" thing work in the NHL, because he was a master of it here. He just has a level of deception I haven't seen much of over the years. A super exciting player. He would have just killed college hockey next year.

SIOUXELEVENS Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Amazing how many tripping calls he caused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUND1 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I will be watching to see how he does. Sure seems like he could have used one more year to develop and get ready for the type of game and type of athletes he will go up against at even the AHL level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Baker Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 486 career points. Does Jackson Blake end his NHL career with over/under that amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Baker Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 487 points would put Jackson Blake in the top 10 all time for points for UND players in the NHL (although Boeser and Schmaltz will beat him there) and one more ahead of the current #10 player, Jason Blake. I look forward to watching how his NHL career progresses. Hope he can become another Sioux legend in the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 UND needs replacements for Blake and Emerson (two Fs) to get back to 15 on the roster. Will it go pipeline (risk someone too early), portal, or off the board to the great northern hinterlands and an unexpected wildcard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 2 hours ago, fightingsioux4life said: He's gonna need that good luck. Or he could surprise me. It may take a bit for him to adapt to the speed and strength at the next level, but he reminds me of Johnny Gaudreau in that he is small but has the hockey sense and shiftiness to be a step ahead of the average player, which should make him successful at some point.

Popular Post brianvf Posted April 10 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 10 I wonder if Blake will look back on this in 5 years and wish he would have stayed another year. Similar to those interviews with Parise and Oshie. They all look back later and wish they would have stayed for one more season. Best of luck in the bigs, Jackson. We'll be rooting for ya. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skateshattrick Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 6 minutes ago, SIOUXELEVENS said: They all say that but yet they all leave early. Carolina to Jackson Blake: "We love your game and think you have a great chance of playing in the NHL almost right away (proverbial blowing of smoke up his arse). Even if you have to play in the AHL for a time, you will get more games against better competition, you will learn our system and you will get paid. And, you don't have to go to classes anymore." Jackson Blake to Carolina: "where can I sign up?" It is very hard for a young man who has never had any $ of his own to turn down the opportunity to get a paycheck and to pursue the dream of playing in the NHL. The problem is that most don't realize that (1) many of those young men are being signed solely for the purpose of restocking the minor league system and will never play in the NHL and (2) the team is just pouring honey down the player's throat, rubbing his belly and telling him how special he is, but it is just smoke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 8 minutes ago, fightingsioux4life said: So how many holes do we have to plug before October? So far...two forward spots. That could go a number of ways. -- both Littler and Klee brought in along with other freshmen forwards -- one of those two above comes in and then add a portal forward -- neither of them come in and we get two portal forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, fightingsioux4life said: If Michigan doesn't lose anyone early, I will be apoplectic. Will be interesting to watch BC & BU offseasons as well. Both have a ton of highly skilled underclassmen that could leave early. But will those players "pull a Snuggy" or "pull a Blake"? That will determine how stacked their teams are next year.
