The Sicatoka Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Which member of the CBS Line in 2016 is Blake better than today? Better than Boeser was? Schmaltz? Caggiula? Their games were NHL ready. Can we say that about Jackson? And his last second hijinx against Michigan only helps serve the point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their games were NHL ready. Can we say that about Jackson? And his last second hijinx against Michigan only helps serve the point. It is really difficult to say because Blake doesn't have Boeser or Schmaltz to play with. Jackson Blake is very talented and put up 60 points this year as a sophomore with a lot less help. Boeser put up 60 points in 42 games as a freshman in 2015-2016, Caggulia put up 51 points in 39 games as a senior, and Schmaltz put up 46 points in 37 games as a sophomore. I'm not saying he's better than Boeser or Schmaltz, but he's very offensively gifted and arguably is better than Drake Caggiula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get stronger and work on his defensive game. He is not bad defensively, but you have to play defense first in the NHL unless you have offensive talent like Patrick Kane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I'd say he does some things better than any of the three. But he's physically much less ready than any of them for playing against guys who are made of stone. He's most similar in build to Caggiula, but younger and not filled out yet. The other two had sturdy NHL frames, which he'll never have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff that would bounce off Jason puts Jackson on the ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get low, wait for contact from behind, spring up into it both surprising the "attacker" and giving them the worst of the contact. Jackson both missed the Woofie and caught a skate in the ice and fell back over his own right knee. Can't find it but TwiX had an image of Blake flat on his back but with his right skate boot under his right butt-tocks*, toe pointed away from body. *said like Forrest Gump does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the same comment to the group of people I watched the game with---Blake took and run and may have injured himself into playing one more year at UND.

The silence that you hear about it tells me there's probably more smoke than fire... but you would have probably heard something from just things around campus percolating about. But... if that's me in the pic, no amount of red light therapy gunna put me back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Wood / Wilkie / Pohlkamp Sounds like we are in the running for all three. But I'd be happy if we are able to land one of that group. Each would fill a need for the 24/25 team. No word on any UND players entering the portal or early departures as of yet...figure if that happens, we'll start to hear some rumblings soon.
