Maceo Phillips is playing less than 5 minutes a game against his peers from places like Germany, and we're to think he's ready for Big Ten and NCHC non-con opponents? He needs to be 7th D at best.

Yup, he hit my threshold of great goalie which is actually surprising. I think Matt Davis may do the same and carve out a solid AHL career.

Reality hurts? The Gophers have had absolute megastars lately, most of them on one roster at the same time + Rinzel. Just not between the pipes.

Because I have watched them play and it's obvious they will... Great goalies are often very easy to see. As Gopher fans, usually you have to see it in the other net but it still stands.

Yes we do. When you see Dobes you know. We also knew Lafontaine and Close would be ECHLers. I agree with this statement, but added my opinion. "I think any goalie who goes on to play consistently (meaning about three or more seasons with 25+ starts) at the AHL level and above is a great...

Good goalie. Not a great goalie. But a list of good goalies will be 100 long.

That's why I updated the line chart to have Mooney and Kvas on a line in the middle six. They will probably be okay jumping into college hockey. Three biggest issues: - Two way centers with 55%+ faceoffs - Lack of D men that can start the offense from the back - Uncertainty at goalie We can...

There are tons of great goalies over that time. The best are the ones that make the NHL. Dobes Augustine Levi Slukynsky Fowler Knight Yegorov will be great Sergeev and Matt Davis will not play in the NHL but is legendary come tournament time

Stat watching is what gets you BCHL and AJHL guys playing crap competition on good teams. You need to see what a goalie could be surrounded by a solid team. Size, lots of international competition, and being young... This kid's upside is light years ahead of the safe bets Motzko always makes.

Why do they show random fucking dorks acting like they are players doing celebrations after big plays or big calls

UMN is toast in the NIL game behind the big four + PSU and probably OSU.

Because one of those guys, Airey, is just not very good and this kid is a USHL goalie of the year finalist that could be a better hockey goalie than Airey immediately or by the middle of the year. I'm not saying having three goalies fighting makes sense. I'm saying the two we have for this year...

This kid could fight for their starting job this year and absolutely would do the same here with how open the battle for starter is.

The point is building a pipeline. They have both Heil and this kid with 4 years of eligibility on top of the ASU kid for the year. Bob has two years left for both goalies, one of which is a pretty clear known average goalie at this point and NO ONE in the pipeline.

UND gets its big goalie of the future and Bob does nothing cuz he doesn't know how to recruit goalies. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/522488/jan-spunar

Great job Bob. It's not like centers that can win faceoffs is a problem.

Ludtke - Clark - Ziemer Zetterberg - Mooney - Kvas Hendo - Pahlsson - Lamb Moore/Falloon - Townsend/JMitt - Pritchard/Nevers Mittelstadt - Thomas Phillips - Gruba Whipple - Rombach Rud/Begley (UGH)

Carter Ashton to Cornell. In comes Phillips to get absolutely exposed as a true freshman.

If Motzko or the next coach learns how to recruit goalies. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/874040/michal-pradel

Both Gordon and Rickwood are non-contact, so won't be Gophers. Back to the drawing board in need of both a 1C and a 2C (Rickwood could have been a solid 2C).
