Dare I say we popped their balloon?

I'm not sure what inspired me, but I am so glad I changed "rooms" to "room" before I hit "Submit Reply".

不客气。

The first NHL post-season game (more to follow after the regular season ends): Predict the eight Cup opening round matchups. That's it. Picks must be in by March 24, 2023. Winner? Bragging rights.

When the UND season is over you'll be able to replace the six-letter "K" name with another and change the M to and N.

I'd start with DI caliber players that want to play at UND for Coach Sather. Sounds simplistic, but is it?

Wasn't me. Think it was @jimdahl.

Work it out.

He would've looked good in green for two seasons.

A spam-bot got loose.

I rather be dead, life over, through, Than ever prop up the maize and blue. It's the "better dead than red" anti-Wisconsin mantra but with the more aca-snobbish Michigan feel.

Paragraphs would be good ...

UNO G Kucharski would’ve been a nice portal but he left two eligible years to sign in the A.

He is inexplicable.

Not with non NHL ice.

But the HC slot is full to 2026. Build that resume further I guess. Or send a copy to @jdub27 and he’ll leave it with the AD next time he’s in his office (probably next week) so it’s at least on file.

Then you missed the third prediction point.

Won’t meet criteria as I called out all three screen names; all or nothing. Gotta set a high goal or none at all.

But nothing stops you from keeping your personal dream alive.

For a season to count I believe it is max 30% of games plus one and none in second half of season, I believe. Don’t quote me. Johnson played 13 all in first half, but I don’t know what number to calculate 30% of: 34 regular season, actual team games, or max played by any team this year. This is where I could use @Hammersmith help as they seem to know how to calculate if a season counts for a player.

With Sather extended I know three things: - the staff won’t be Hoop, Good, and McB next season, and - we won’t have some new staff made up of guys with only NAIA experience next year, and - Sather will still be under the microscope.

… and some played ten and shut down. The NCAA just disappeared the year given all the disparate scenarios. It was the simplest solution.

Don’t get lost in words like grad or fifth year. There is no standard NCAA language teams use. In UND case it’s if they are done with an undergraduate degree or taking grad courses. Use hockeydb.com and count seasons of competition (discounting -21).

Lindsay Scott had a medical exemption year and a COVID year so I understand how he could get seven academic years, it makes sense (usual five plus plus for seven). But six teams is a mystery to me.
