    If that doesn't happen this year after the roster changes this off-season, I think you have to take a very hard look at the situation. That said, I love Joe as our coach and expect this year to be a big step up.

      Meaning? Coaching situation? That's the way I interpret what you are saying, but not sure that is what you are implying.

        Losing 3 guys two years after a coaching change is not normal and that tells me that Joe trusts the remaining guys to play the way he wants and buy into his system. If that doesn't happen this year (and by that I mean top-4 finish and continued improvement...hopefully competing well into February for WCHA title) you have to evaluate the situation and consider that Joe's style just might not work with college athletes in 2019. I don't think thats the case but its hard not to look at it that way. They will be "young" yet and everything but this isn't an extremely challenging league from a depth perspective so there really aren't any excuses for not improving on last year.

          I'm wondering whether losing the 3 guys shakes others up to step up, whether it cleans house, or is there resentment

            Time will tell. Personally I would think losing Gould may leave a little resentment in the eyes of the new seniors & juniors but who knows. Maybe he did feel entitled and the remaining guys were glad to see him go???

            It should definitely shake up the freshman moving to sophomore status. My way or the highway boys!

              Yes, was not sure if Rockwell will move to LD with the equal amount of left handed and right handed options.

              I agree, it will be pair by pair by game based on opponent.

                That would be nice if it doesn't screw them up too much to not have a regular partner.

                And/or not dressing for every game. That seemed to be a source of the problems in the dressing room last year.

                The young kids will be asked to grow up quickly (mentally as well as physically), I hope they will be able to.

                I don't know about anyone else, but I'm ready for the puck to drop in October!

                      What the hell? That's random. Must've been some kind of freak accident.

                        sadly all indications are that it was not an accident

                                My thoughts are with his family, the MTU hockey family, and Misfits. I never had the chance to meet him, but I saw a few of his tweets, and saw him in the crowd at the WCHA Championship in 2018, and I absolutely loved seeing his enthusiasm with the Misfits.

                                Hockey, especially college hockey (even moreso in the UP) is a tight family. This hurts all of us.
