Langster019 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 With Jammer getting captaincy, this now makes 3 in a row that speak to what Bubs recruits. Yes we all want wins. Yes we all want ships. But if they can have success and do well, regardless of record, and have the character of Senden, Gaber, and now Jamernik, I’m ok with the program. They’re high character people that hopefully they can mold into nhl talent. That is a win. Happy to see 27 get the C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once wins and banners become optional, we become like the programs just hoping to make the tournament once in awhile (Michigan Tech, Bemidji State, Northern Michigan, LSSU). I don't want to go there. The most successful programs generally have high character players who are also good in the classroom. Those things are usually connected and not mutually exclusive. Berry and company did a great job turning this team around last season and the addition of Dillon Simpson to the coaching staff was great. Now they just have to figure out why this team fades down the stretch after being so good most of the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgiven if this blurb was written under duress, under the influence, if you were experiencing a psychotic break from reality or if you were in a public venue with Gopher players & their slackness was transmitted to you. Complacency leads to mediocrity. As one of the premiere hockey teams in the nation, it's incumbent for this program to always reach for the stars, year in & year out. May this team always be a reflection of its fanbase: full of piss & vinegar and may they always be contending for a NC. 1 hour ago, fightingsioux4life said: Now they just have to figure out why this team fades down the stretch after being so good most of the season. Maybe the coaching staff can stop treating the Penrose like it's the Holy Grail for the team. Last year the players were celebrating the regular season championship by skating the trophy around the rink, hooting & hollering. Premature celebrating & the consequent let-down the remainder of the season when they couldn't seem to recover their spent mojo. It's only natural for a team to have a drop in performance in their remaining games if they blow their load too soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sweet little $36,000 at $450K@ year salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with a nice bonus for leading the team to the best conference record in the best conference in the country. A whole lot different than winning the conference tourney. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeytherapy13 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Well it’s time to start guessing lineups again because I want the season to be here. What do you all think of this? Boisvert-Berg-Kunz Swanson-Omac-Perron James-Wilkie-Strinden Croal-Jammer-Schmaltz Andrew-Monty-Littler Livanavage-Zmolek Wiebe-Emery Strathmann-Macdonald Jubenvill-Komzak Semptimphelter Hedquist Johnson Seems like Kunz will be playing top 6 (or top 9) mins this year for sure based on what Bubs said in the Captain’s article from the Herald. Every forward line has 2 separate guys that can play center. I could maybe see Wiebe playing with Strathmann to start the year since Wiebe can play on the right side well.

I’d try Boisvert at C out of the gate and like someone else posted. May want to get some size on that 2nd line.Top nine looks solid though and that 4th is nasty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Quote Boisvert-Berg-Kunz Swanson-Omac-Perron James-Wilkie-Strinden Croal-Jammer-Schmaltz Andrew-Monty-Littler My critique: That won't be Game 1. Come second half, maybe. Why? First two lines do not have enough "defensive responsibility". Swanson and Perron are not big and will be taken advantage of. Kunz can forget to backcheck at times, so can OMac, and Boisvert is a freshman. If OMac and Kunz prove me wrong I'll accept it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top end is lower initially without Blake and gaber but we have the guys that can grow into it very well. If the 3rd line ends up being some semblance of what I had, that would be a top 6 on most teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perron - Berg - Swanson OMac - Boisvert - Kunz I actually had that same setup for top 6 in my first 3 drafts (except Omac starting at center) and I just couldn’t decide haha. I knew I wanted a playmaker like Swanson with a shooter like Perron but I had a hard time deciding where the rest of the top 6 would fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went last year and stayed at the Elm's. Nice hotel downtown close to restaurants and bars. The authentic german restaurant and speakeasy's were my favorite, but had a great time everywhere we went. The Arena is an easy walk through campus from the downtown area. Had a lot of fun with both the ND and Redhawk fans, highly recommend the visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
