An awful way to end a college career. Chay should want to come back.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
With the strong freshman year he had and good showing at the Under-20s, does anyone think Danny Kristo will jump ship? Jordan Schroeder stayed for his sophomore year and probably now wishes he didn't. Also, I was at the game last night all I can say is Ben Blood is a warrior. If the entire team gave the effort he did and did that every game you would never lose.

Another question that should be asked, is was yesterday the last game that North Dakota will be the "Fighting Sioux"?

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
I would guess that we will keep Kristo for one more season.
Not many players are skilled enough to jump after one season. Neither Parise or Toews left UND after one season, and both of them were further along as freshmen than Kristo was this year.

UND Fighting Nokota's next season?
Jeebus, the Yale goalie let in a Robbie Bina-type SHG in the 1st period. Weak. That's embarrassing that the Sioux couldn't get more than 2 on that guy.
Regardless, go Yale!

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
No doubt.
Might as well forfeit the 3rd period.
Four BC goals in the 2nd period.
Yale's goaltending kills them tonight.

It sounds like we will know sooner rather than later about Genoway's status for next season.
It will be great to see him back on the ice regardless of if it is with the Sioux or not, but I would love to see him have another go of his senior year.

Thoughts
1. Work like heck in the off-season to improve one's self.
2. Have everyone come back.
3. Work like heck from October 1 - April 15.
4. Hoist the McNaughton, Broadmoor and NCAA trophies.
This is the most talented team in the country going in to 2010-2011.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
Definitely one of the strongest on paper.
Of course, after watching DU in the postseason, that didn't do them much good though.
If Genoway comes back, this team will be one of the favorites for the national title.
If Genoway doesn't come back, this team will be one of the favorites in the WCHA and should make some noise on the national scene.

Agreed. With Schroeder, he regressed and played like he often didn't care. Maybe he did care and he just couldn't get it to show with the team/coaching surrounding him. Whatever the reason, MN is getting a rap for not developing players and it's coming from all sides, so his leaving early was perhaps out of neccesity in his mind. I've never heard that about UND... ususally we hear just the opposite. A few players jumped ship around the new NHL CBA, but look at the players who stayed an extra year lately when we thought they were gone.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
It will be a strong defensive team. In order for this team to contend for a title, at least 3 players are going to have to step up their scoring. I don't see us winning a title scoring goals at a 3.2 goals per game clip again, or whatever we finished at this year. That's why Wisconsin was successful in this tournament, and UND and DU weren't.
Will we get anything from the incoming freshmen? History tells me no. If we're real lucky, we'll pick up 10-15 goals from one of them.
I think these things need to happen for the Sioux to have a great year next year:
1. Matt Frattin plays all year like he did the last dozen games or so.
2. Trupp turns his speed and puck handling abilities into a consistent offensive threat.
3. Corban Knight continues his improvement and he and/or Malone turn into a Chris Vande Velde type 17-18 goal scorer.
4. Danny Kristo becomes much more dynamic, and an offensive threat, when the team is not on the pp.
5. Mike Cichy makes some strides and becomes a 10 goal threat on the 3rd or 4th line.
6. Dell becomes viable backup goaltender and the Sioux go with a rotating system with each goaltender pushing the other to become better.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
I think Frattin is poised to have a monster senior season.
Same thing with Trupp and Malone. Trupp really broke out in the last few weeks of the season, and I could see Malone taking over where VV left off.
I think we could see a big improvement from Toews. He always showed flashes of greatness on the ice...I think with an increased role he could really shine.

Re: University of North Dakota - Offseason Thread 2010
I think Frattin, Gregoire and Kristo are all potential 25 goal scorers. If each hits it, the Sioux will have a monster year.
Trupper, I'm not so sure about. He's hit that 7-8 goal total each year. It puzzles me, due to his speed and hands. I'd like to see a breakout season from him, but I'm not expecting it.
