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.

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

I always thought James would stay because he needs one more year before entering pro, especially with Grand Rapids being deep enough where Detroit might not offer him an ELC this year.

Absolute bonkers they'd choose Dane Jackson over Nick Fohr!

This was the exact same as the Bubba hire over Kalen Deboer!

 

Guess time will tell.  Haven’t heard Fohr on a bunch of short lists for jobs, but who knows.

James IMO is still the biggest flight risk

Never liked it.  Gopher fans use it like a slur.

they aren't brain surgeons but it doesn't take one to call us "No DIKS"  I attended grade school at one point too

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.

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.

Schloss, c’mon. Are we to believe this is a scoop? What happened to your obligation to the people that read your columns? 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!!!!

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.

What did Simpson bring? 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.
