Re: 2020-21 NMU Hockey Season
Don't forget about G Connor Ryckman who transferred from UW Stevens Point. Goaltender will be an interesting spot to keep an eye on with 3 returning players & potentially 2 incoming. Anyone have insight on if either of the John's are transferring?Last edited by moose97; 03-09-2020, 07:59 AM.Current NCAA D-I rinks I've been to:

Our philosophy seems to be, particularly during the penalty kill, to stay in the box, don’t pressure the puck, stay in position. This resulted in drives from the point, yes, low percentage shots, but strong goaltending is the key with that strategy. I get it, but when teams played us, they were all over us, never letting us feel comfortable, and subsequently, we turned the puck over a lot. I have no turnover stats to support this, just an observation.
Is this a lack of confidence in our skill players, or did we not change our system after we lost the goalie of the year last year? Staying in the box, I feel, puts pressure on the goaltender, and our goaltending wasn’t strong enough to back up that philosophy.
I Love Grant, he is our coach, but from the article, the rock to turn over and get a look at is goaltending and our defensive philosophy. I know these are kids, but somebody has to step up. Kent showed promise at times, but needs to be more consistent. Hawthorne, the only times I saw him, came in during bad situations, but clearly he has work to do. If our goaltending doesn’t get any better, then we need to adjust our defense to protect our goalies.“They are a **** site better than the U.S. Army, at least we know that they will be there in the morning.”
