So now its a quadruple reverse? Man these fish stories just keep getting bigger lol. I do agree there was some angst with Danny sometimes though. If I recall there was a game at USD where we're moving it on the ground and then he gave up on that. I think Danny would have had a much better call on 4th and 1 against SU that got blown up. That one huge 4th down play...I think it was against Cap Poly was a thing of beauty. Danny's offense definitely had to overcome having a subpar defense.

All available guys will go against Mercyhurst now that the WJC cuts are official, and Spengler cup. Congrats to current players: Zellers, Emery, Reschny, Livanavage, Verhoeff, Weibe. And the future guys: Heil, and Mackenzie. Credit to the coaches looking ahead and bringing in Engel as the d core will be stretched.

Get well soon. I don’t read all of your blogs but I do enjoy the ones I do read and especially enjoy your enthusiasm. Merry Christmas.

Gadowsky invited half the Penn State team and his son. He should catch a ton of heat if his team performs poorly.

Hopefully Coach Win will get this program Nguyening again.

Almost every fan base hates their OC.

You're insufferable.

Because they don’t have unbelievable VB coaches in the midwest, right? VB is outstanding in this part of the country.

Easy route would be hire a assistant coach or a former UND player or anyone with any connection to UND. That seems to be the old UND way. He went after a up and coming coach. This is what I was hoping basketball would do. Make a program great in a few years, leave for a better position but leaving the program in a better place. This time i think Chavez DIDNT take the easy way out.

For the Nguyen

How has view count been since the move to your own topic

Thank you!!! I put my heart into them!!! I hope you have a fantastic Merry Christmas as well!!! I appreciate your support!!!

Nice, Cags is playing at the Spengler Cup too.

He was a Hoby Top 10 at Army last year. He has 5 points this year and I thought he was supposed to be a defensive defenseman. I didn't think he was that good and only on the team because of his dad.

This is the correct take. We got screwed but I'm not about to let my alma mater and the school I grew up cheering for since I was born suffer as a result.

No one is saying to change back to Fighting Sioux, but they can and should sell more merchandise.

I think the rumors have pointed both Carels and DuPont as having UND be the frontrunner for them. Highly doubt we'd end up with both, but who knows what Bryn has cooking.

Folks, folks.....volleyball.

You’re wrong, partly. First half of the season they were probably a top 6 team, but by the end of the season (most important time of the season) they regressed offensively and weren’t top 6. Need to figure out the offense. Need to raise NIL funds and acquire some talented offensive players.

Right now, they are just trying to get through the season. Once the season is over, they can focus on the future. As we have seen with the Vikings, not having a competent QB is a death sentence for any team in the NFL.

Outside of the truly franchise level defensemen, most need 2 years in the NCAA, unless you produce (more than) dominant 2 way results as a freshman. We've seen Makar, Hughes, Werenski, McAvoy, Sanderson all go back to the NCAA for their sophomore year and it helped lead to elite NHL results sooner. Not quite convinced Carels, DuPont, Lin, Rudolph, & even Verhoeff are elite enough to be 1 and done NCAA players, but DuPont's underlying numbers have suggested better results in the Dub than his raw numbers so far, so he could be in for a big jump moving forward.

Really solid get, late bloomer. Needs to pack on some weight before heading to GF.

Right, Davis from SDSU got drafted didnt he, and made a roster. NDSU and SDSU have had a fair amount of guys drafted recently, which helps UND and USD get eyes on them as well as the MVFC. Guys like Rucker and others that really show out will get plenty of eyes on them, and lots of playing time.

He probably needs another year of junior anyway to fully round out his game and dominate offensively in the Dub next year. He'll come in as a young 20 year old, but with plenty of high leverage experience at the junior level, more ready than Brent Johnson ever was when they brought him in too early. This is a quality pickup, most definitely will fill voids left behind by those signing pro after this year or next.

A lot of pressure on Motzko. US is back to back gold medel champs and playing in front of MN crowd. I have low expectations from a Matzko lead team. Sad to say but Carle is the best coach in the country for this age group.

McKenna did join my five year old yesterday in the not so glamorous category of shooting the puck into your own net during a game. Only difference is my kid took great pride in lighting the lamp for the other team.

We have to trust they will give the freshman all the chances in the world to play and be productive.

This kid is a very good athlete good speed. His younger brother Mason is a LB for the Gophers. 6’1” 190lbs. He and Mason had been at UND FB camp. Certainly worth close look.
