Gotta get Unger his reps but at this stretch I’d be going with the more experienced Mbereko. I’m wondering if Mbereko has been dealing with a nagging injury the last few weeks as well. He left that Saturday UND game rather abruptly midway through the third period and I didn’t have the impression it was due to poor play. Unger gave up 6 goals on Friday at St. Cloud but man, his teammates certainly didn’t give him much help. They looked much better defensively on Saturday.

St. Cloud has a lot to play for still as well so it definitely won’t be easy. I think they’re still in the hunt for home ice not to mention fighting to get their NPI up.

Dangit.

My apologies if this has already been posted but just read a CHN article about the Mike Richter award finalists being named and Jan Spunar is one of them! Very cool and well deserved!

Just finished listening to this week’s UND hockey podcast with Brad Schlossman and Jason Feldman. Schlossman said if we win all 4 of these next two home series, we’d clinch the Penrose before traveling to Western. It’s a tall order but doable.

I lost a lot of respect for CC’s Ken Landeau when I heard him call Jackson Blake a punk on a broadcast. I thought that crossed the line for a sports broadcaster to resort to name calling.

I resorted to muting the broadcast last Saturday.

Part of that can be attributed to that impressive run that Northeastern had. They won three in a row and 5 of 6 between 2018 and 2024 (I had to look these stats up on Wikipedia). A buddy of mine who’s a big Northeastern fan started calling it the Northeastern Invitational for a while. Lol

You’re right and just look at Lucia. He won back to back natty’s within his first couple years as Gophers coach and then how the sentiment changed as years went by and how much Gophers fans wanted a change.

Fair point. i brought it up because I experienced it when the Gophers were able to poach Don Lucia from CC. I get it-CC’s a much smaller school and program than Western but they had an incredible run in the mid to late 90’s winning 4 McNaughton cups in a row and back to back FF appearances and I’m sure that was a very attractive draw for the gophers similar to the recent success of the Broncos. I’m sure the Gophs will go poaching if/when Motzko leaves. Just a matter of who they’ll go after. Perhaps Raboine?

Would it be possible that the Gophers go after David Carle? Would he even be interested if courted? Edit: or Pat Ferschweiller? He’s from Rochester, MN.

I read on the internet that Brad Schlossman is petitioning the league to move this series back to Oxford so he can have his Skyline Chili.

Seems like every RedHawks game I look at the box score, I see David Deputy’s name.

Anyone have any insight as to how Wisconsin landed Cole Caufield? Anyone know what other schools he was considering? They had that season a few years back where he seemed to carry the load and got them into the tournament.
