I'm looking at two UND Bachelor of Science degrees from (then School now) College of Engineering and Mines on my wall. Both done in same five year time window (along with cooperative education rotations). <- Yes, that was an unapologetic self-pat on back. You expected nothing less.

Check out his last year in Melfort: https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/335673/carson-albrecht We forget that.

I'm hoping for more of an Archibald moment. People forget Archie was a goal machine his final season. (41 GP, 37 goals, ... 197 PIM )

So he knocked out two Bachelor's degrees in four years and is starting a Master's. <- Not a bad role model.

Aren't those two separate Bachelor's programs at UND? Did they combine to a single degree or did he knock out two degrees in four years?

He's crazy strong and he's smart and he knows his role. He's a guy who can hit and I wouldn't want to be hit by. <-- That and yet a 0 penalty for 0 PIM line. And in complete reality, he's used just two (of four) playing year and three (of five) eligible years. He could play 2023-24 and 2024-25! 2019-20: did not participate (1 EY, 0 PY) 2020-21: does not count at all for anyone 2021-22: played (2 EY, 1 PY) 2022-23: played (3 EY, 2 PY) 2023-24: 4 EY, 3 PY 2024-25: 5 EY, 4 PY

Then I'm really glad I didn't say Gene Autry's version of "Back in the Saddle Portal Again".

Can we get Steven Tyler and Aerosmith re-record "Back in the Saddle" as "Back in the Portal"?

So written exam and on-range testing and it's issued?

He'd be a one-year guy, but why not go after Ryan Siedem of Harvard. He spent a season with the Fargo Force.

< checks watch > No Albrecht news? No news on a Caulfield replacement? And don't we still need two defensemen? Are we 100% that Hedquist is coming in as well as Persson? < checks watch >

Don't you use Teams to build teams? OK. Weak attempt. Moving snow has me off my game.

Don't forget that 7 and 9 make 16. Period. DOT.

< joke about had to be, it's Mankato, here >

Not sure who "TK" was but Lee was a brainy-smart player.

Now do North Dakota.

CC and DU are questionable ... in all ways.

Or on the UP of Michigan.

It's sports. Twenty-four hour rule and then back to work.

I'm a master of self-pity. Once I mastered not doing it my life got better. (And I have bouts of reverting back.)

Person or machine? Don't tell me he took ... both!

Will I be allowed "re-start" should Mankato select Dane Jackson to take over? The damage is done. Dwell on it or move forward. But only one of the two will improve things.

@bale31: Your post says you'll have at least eleven new faces on the roster. UND has twelve, maybe just eleven, guys returning. Pretty sure UND is looking at more like fourteen or fifteen new faces. Tell me your woes again ...

Jilted.
