Nope. He’s not a massive bar guy 

Key to a good source? Don’t say too much about who, just what.

Look what happened to Duluth after Herter left. Look at WMU now that he’s there 

Well if WMU doesn’t start playing he won’t have a long way to go tomorrow.

Would be interested what they really thought of Berry, Goehring, Simpson as coaches.

% chance Berry was the weak link? Which coaches idea was it to continue to put Kunz on the 1st line and PP?

Warming up to Jackson if Berry was the one making all the awful decisions.
 

 

I personally haven’t been a fan of how in the middle of the season and we are still juggling lines. Our power play has been very solid the last few seasons tho

Was told by one of the players he thinks the final three would be Jackson, Smaby, and Herter. With himself and the team endorsing Jackson.

Players have basically crapped the bed the last 3 seasons. They need to sit this one out.

Not going to disagree, they are responsible for all this too. But from what it sounds like, if it’s not Jackson some might bounce. I think a lot of them are waiting to see what others do. I can also tell you they were surprised MacDonald signed, and thought he should have stayed.

Didn't you say there'd be an announcement today? Keep swingin', GF. If you say it every day, you'll get it eventually 😉

Keep in mind gf speaks in a code no one has broken.  Including himself.

If it’s those three I think it has to be herter no question.

The roster of a fifth place team need not make the 7-10 year program decision. Harsh. Truthful.

 

edit: fixed finish

Good, they can go make another program average

If you're part of the problem yet think you can hold the hiring process hostage by threatening to go....leave.

Precisely. Let them leave and give the new coach a clean slate to work with.

You’re right: FIFTH PLACE

We do not have the horses for next year.  We simply don't.  Sasha is a great catch and release finisher, but that requires a playmaker to find him and somebody to be screening and creating havoc. 

[yzerman19]

Rhett, you think we have the horses?

Replace Sacha with Bump and most were saying the same things about WMU before the season started with how much offense they lost.
They replaced 17 players and crushed the rest of the NCHC.

If everyone stays and with Zellers coming in I do.

Horses aren’t horses sometimes, until they become the horses.  Would people have called Bump the horse of the league a year ago? What about Frattin, Malone, & Caggiula?

[yzerman19]

did they really completely reload 17 guys?

[RhettRingers]

James would've signed already if he was leaving.

Zellers is good, no doubt.  

I just don't see it up and down the lineup.   Unless the roles were so completely jacked up by the coaching...

Zellers is good…but it might take him a little bit. And I can tell you this, his game doesn’t translate to a dump and chase system. See Swanson…or Perron.

Again it will be different. Hoping Perron has a change of heart.
