tnt Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I am hoping one thing Jackson brings is that best players play, and that all things being equal, the player with the biggest upside plays. Who knows how many games that alone could change, nevermind a more aggressive mindset. 1 Quote

Cratter Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Just like when Eric Schmidt was hired..... You can sit on SiouxSports and know who was gonna be hired days ago! 1 Quote
Cratter Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Absolute bonkers they'd choose Dane Jackson over Nick Fohr! This was the exact same as the Bubba hire over Kalen Deboer! 2 1 Quote
Siouxdaddy Posted March 30 Posted March 30 My personally belief, since Jax being announced we saw Livvers return, i’d be shocked to see James leave and maybe a few others. Ik Perron is still probs gone to Mich, but those who were on the fence, i’d bet money would stay 1 Quote

brianvf Posted March 30 Posted March 30 4 minutes ago, mygarske said: Ding ding. It was. I think this year was an anomaly with the poorer PK...had a rough start and certainly didn't help that the nation's best shot blocker and the best PK guy on the team got hurt in game one. Definitely improved toward the end of the season. Usually UND's PK ranked near the top of the nation/league: Quote During his time at UND, Jackson's penalty-killing units have annually ranked among the best in the nation and have led their conference in PK percentage seven times. UND has also ranked among the top three in its conference in 12 of the last 15 years under Jackson. 4 Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I know basically nothing about hockey but from the outside it looks like a lazy hire. It'll work out however it works out. But hiring the sidekick of the dude you just canned smells bad. 3 Quote

You’ve compromised yourself to the point…..you’re now a mouthpiece for an institution like und. Please please,…rediscover your integrity, pride and sense of self worth. Give us some objective thoughts. You as a beat writer, can hold und and sioux hockey accountable. We’d love to have confidence in a writer that’ll truly keeps us informed. Think about it. What do you lose If und cut ties w/you. Warm fuzzy convos with und hockey people? All media people know this. The very people you want access to, will kick you to the curb. Not lose one bit of sleep over it. Schloss, give us your best effort!!!! 1 10 Quote
Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted March 30 Popular Post Posted March 30 7 hours ago, brianvf said: BOOM! https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/jake-livanavage-says-hes-returning-for-junior-season So having just read this one of two things happened this season or both.....BB became the shark bait as the season went along and/or all the players threatening to leave after he was let go basically quit on the season. Now the Jackson hire does little for me excitement wise going into next season but to give him the benefit of the doubt he could turn this thing around quickly as Livy's comments seem to suggest a locker room buy in. Still too much talent on that returning roster to look like a team that just went through the motions most nights. At a minimum just hoping to watch a brand of hockey that is worth the increase in price per season ticket that was announced on Friday because no one felt they got their money's worth this past season. 3 3 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 The hiring of assistants will be key but IMO more importantly will be the team's captains. Two guys that must wear a letter next season.....Zmolek (if he can actually play) and Strinden. 2 Quote

Honest question. ...and please don't say the boys in the locker room really like him cause if you do this is turning into a dudes "Love Island". Wasn’t it his first real coaching gig? I actually hope they keep him. 1 Quote
