I was under the impression that there were three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics

Both require you "be smart when you pick your spots".

Yes, but you still have to be smart when you pick your spots and fast enough to recover. Omaha's first on Friday was the polar opposite of that.

Say we lose all of 13, 15, and 28. There's an obvious captain in that trio we'll lose out on. Then it's 4, 11, 17, 27. I only see one potential captain in that group. And it's a center, not a wing. Yes, I'd hang a C on LouieJam before Gaber. The group behind that? Only Schmaltz has shown glimpses so far. And the freshmen? James gave me hope this weekend by stepping up twice. I'd argue we're missing captains, leaders of men, or they just haven't shown up yet.

And what changed? Poor play should be fixed in the room by holding teammates accountable. Why'd it take this long? I've noticed I've seen less of the C and more of one of the As in media lately. It nearly coincides with the better play.

You got really close to the hidden problem I see.

Given the "find new home" success rate of portal guys (under 50%), players would do well to take pause before jumping into that pool. Maybe 5 goes to play with his brother at CC, or 11 goes to ASU to be with his brother.

And a primary assist at that!

18 is not a member of any of those classes. He's part of 1 5 6 8 18 20 24 29 32 Next is 9 21 22 26 And the problem I see is not a "who" as much as a "what".

@burdand @stoneySIOUXare not allowed to answer ... for now. I see two glaring issues in that post. Who else can see them.

Why be sorry? You gave me the lead to fill in the details.

Smaby St Clair (has been Asst GM) Chyzyk is a USHL GM already Hak was dual HC/GM before coming to UND.

Yup, appears Midco got broadcast rights. https://midcosports.com/ The extra cash won't make up for the largest rink in the league not hosting a quarters round.

If we're speculating future coaches when we have no idea if they're even interested in coaching ... After a Covid season at UND, then a year and a half in the A, followed by 282 games in the NHL, and another season in the A before moving to coaching ... Ethan Frisch looks good in a suit behind the bench I'd guess.

But he still has a propensity for the backhand blind pass to an area. Did it twice Saturday. Could've eaten it each time. Glass and boards were invented for a reason. Use them.

DeRidder could've done that Saturday night and I wouldn't have blamed him.

Hak got an attorney for life while at UND.

They had resources to get to the final in 2009 ... and by 2013 and entry to the NCHC they didn't?

"Jerry Maguire" is yet to have his say.

The comments are hilarious! --> He took more flak for "Hawks" than the bold prediction! People tried to shame a former captain with a ring, and cancer survivor, when the team he won with was officially known as the "Fighting Hawks" (but no logo yet).

For sure gone (no eligibility left): 2, 3, 7, 10, 19, 34. I'll be surprised if they're back: 6, 25. Guys with one (Covid) year still available: 13, 15, 28 The class behind them: 4, 11, 17, 27 And 17 could sign.

Miami was literally a minute away (and up two goals) from hanging a National Championship in 2009.

As many times as 34 has been run, … Officials going to lose control of this one either way.

Tell me if you’ve heard this one: CC played a scoreless first period.

You forgot to carry the two.
