The USHL is a cyclical league, teams are good and then fall off (with the exception of Omaha). Simon one the title in 2006 and if the USHL hadn't come up with that stupid playoff system last year they would have one it again. They were clearly the hottest team in the league come playoff time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338873447740614249.post-15762317328565610492008-04-23T16:57:00.000-04:002008-04-23T16:57:00.000-04:00No regrets from me that he is gone.

They follow this with 2 seasons of last place division finishes and were fortunate enough to make playoffs in 06/07 because every team made it. Things got progressively worse with the Bucs as the seasons passed and the results of their recruiting, trading and coaching began to show. Can you defend the the roster that these coaches started with, the roster they continued with and the way they coached game after game after what you saw at the rink from preseason to the bitter end? Next year would have been no better even without an ownership change. Now that the change has been made and quality coaches (and players) are running the other way, we fans are guaranteed that the coaching and roster will get worse.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464686557038597188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338873447740614249.post-34544232222346960142008-04-19T11:09:00.000-04:002008-04-19T11:09:00.000-04:00Have to agree that I am not sad Simon and Knott ar...Have to agree that I am not sad Simon and Knott are gone.

The 07/08 team was the result of their recruiting, coaching etc. These coaches and the organization should share the blame for the 07/08 mess! There were a few veterans and new players that could have formed a competitive core. The rest belonged in other leagues. This was apparent long before the trade deadline. They should have moved many more players (including some of the veterans with commitments)than the few that were released/traded and saved the season. (Contrast Lincoln, e.g., a team that recognized a goalie problem, found a replacement and saved the season for its fans) Instead, they let the season slip away, harmed the reputation of the franchise and disrespected a loyal fan base. Then, they added insult to injury by selling to a majority owner with an agenda that will keep this franchise in the basement of the league for a long time.<BR/><BR/>With all this "positive" news circulating around the Bucs, players that might have returned will not, players on the affiliate list will go elsewhere and players drafted in May (by the yet to be named coach) will not report.<BR/><BR/>No "fish" no matter how "big" will save the Madhouse on Hickman from the destructive course that management has chosen. I say melt the ice and create a midwest seaworld with Shawn's "big fish."anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464686557038597188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338873447740614249.post-38856725773139307102008-04-18T03:30:00.000-04:002008-04-18T03:30:00.000-04:00This has a lot more to do with the ownership of De...This has a lot more to do with the ownership of Des Moines than it does with anything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338873447740614249.post-61351597829962280542008-04-17T21:08:00.000-04:002008-04-17T21:08:00.000-04:00Knott will not end up coaching in a college.
