Did we have him and Walley committed at the same time, or was Walley a fill in after Dickerson split?

Guessing it was a reference to Willis

no boat?

I didn't watch tonight's game, but in previous games I have thought he looks like he fits really well with Boldy and Freddy. His speed is still above average, he is controlling the puck and driving play, and seems to be playing quite confident.

That's it, I'm opting out of this thread

Seems like a new rivalry has begun.

I don't disagree with either of you, I too have noticed he seems prone to losing a game if he is off. When he is on though, it is almost a guaranteed win. Hopefully he gets settled into a zone down the stretch.

This thread just saw the new No Thread thread, and is not thrilled about it.

Goaltending is the one area of recruiting that has baffled me since Wilcox. With that being said, I have been very impressed with Close this year and really appreciate how calm he plays and always seems to be positionally sound. I have no issues with his performance this year.

I've never watched him play...

Yes

Understood, and I don't disagree.

I'm not sure where the idea that the whole fan base is in love with Mason Nevers comes from, he is a smart, solid, above average player, but it is debatable whether he is even one of the top 6 forwards on this team. As Bonin pointed out, Walker never seemed to progress much after his freshman...

Agreed, but he also appears to be playing with an intensity that wasn't always present during his time at the U. He certainly looks like he belongs in the NHL.

I ran into Ortiz last night, asked him about the transfer portal and he said he wanted to be closer to home. I thought he might have mentioned possibly ASU but it was loud so I'm not positive.

If I remember correctly we went after Townley pretty hard. And I could be wrong, but wasn't he cousins or something with TJ?

Not sure, but I don't hate the move. I think Lamb will turn out to be a nice player, but so far plays a bit of a timid game and gets pushed around a bit. I like the idea of having Kurth out there with 7 & 77

Wonder if he was influenced at all by knowing that Nubin would return (speculating based on some saying Ortiz had moved to safety)

Didn't PJ have some game winning formula that included explosive plays? I thought it was something like if you do x,y, and z you will win 67% of the games. And explosive play margin was one of the factors. Seems to me like he understands the current team is not capable of winning the explosive...

Whatever the reason, whoever is calling the plays (and ultimately Fleck) doesn't trust the passing game. I can't even recall the last time we threw the ball when in the red zone. The DJ9 red zone INT (Purdue?) is the last red zone pass I can recall. That tells you all you need to know.
