Of that list of goalies, tell me why my top 3 targets shouldn't be: - Pavicich - Graham - West

Henry Baribeau St. Thomas G Sr 1 0.00 1.000 0 Francis Boisvert St. Lawrence G Sr 1 3.70 .938 0 Ben Kraws Arizona State G Sr 6 2.19 .926 3 Jarrett Fiske AIC G Sr 24 2.38 .923 10 Henry Graham Massachusetts G Jr 8 2.34 .921 1 Luke Pavicich Massachusetts G So 23 2.75 .920 8 Noah West Michigan G Jr 3 2.92 .920 1 Seth Eisele Lake Superior State G Sr 14 2.86 .913 3 Chad Veltri Niagara G Sr 37 2.78 .906 18 Matt Vernon Colorado College G Sr 12 2.57 .905 4 Kolby Matthews RIT G Sr 5 2.82 .904 3 Luke Lush Sacred Heart G Sr 35 2.69 .899 14 Zack Rose Bowling Green G Sr 5 3.44 .891 3 Ludvig Persson Miami G Jr 32 3.67 .891 8 Jakob Hellsten North Dakota G So 13 2.72 .875 5

Be interesting to see his number here: https://www.capfriendly.com/signings Wait: Did he sign with Charlotte or with the NHL franchise?

They think of "uniform" as a noun. I'd like some respect given to its adjective meaning also: remaining the same in all cases and at all times; unchanging in form or character. Can we get to a uniform look from a team? If I flip on a game and can't tell who is playing by the uniform uniforms they use, I may flip to Iron Chef. Bobby Flay is always in the black chef's coat ... Today's secret ingredient ... SQUID!!!

Correct. I haunt other corners of the interwebs.

Um ... 16F: two age out, one portal out, two expected recruits -> 15F 8D: three age out, two portal out, one expected to sign, one might, five recruits -> TBD (expect to land at 8D) 3G: one age out, one portal out, expect two incoming (source TBD) -> 3G It'll look different at G and D but the forwards have a lot of continuity.

Gleason (F, CC) in the portal surprises me. He has two left.

GP G A Pts +/- P-PIM 27 3 3 6 +4 0-0 26 2 1 3 -5 2-4 One is Albrecht, one is Costantini. And not what I expected.

Nine lowest scorers on the team last year: - four now in the portal (G, D, D, F) - one is out of eligibility (G) - another is a G (say Cheese) - remaining three are F with five or six* points (Kunz, Ness, Albrecht) It's not like we lost production. *six points is max of this group of nine

My advice: Quit bloviating here and send a letter/email to the NCHC league office with your concern.

At this point I would not bet against.

24 departing. Keeping 15 in the fold just went from vitally important to critical ... unless 25 surprises us all and stays through four seasons and becomes an NHL FA.

18 just seems like an eastern kid. Bet he lands somewhere close to his hometown (St Kates ON) if not MJ: Niagara. Canisius. Mercyhurst. RIT.

That. Would. Be. Awesome.

Last week was spring break.

Fanatics? Color me deep skeptical. Making hoodies is not making hockey breezers. They'll have someone < cough-China-cough> making them and slap a logo on. It'll be awesome. I hope to be proven wrong.

This'll twist some neurons: There's a prominent poster on the NDSU forum advocating NDSU return to ... a 3-4. (The poster in question played LB at NDSU and got a law degree at UND.)

If you are deemed a Minnesota "booster", yes. I am deemed a "North Dakota booster" because of my Champions Club membership and season tickets.

I just read the Chiliwack statement on the run of Hedquist. Teleguine's season should be done. Their HC/GM Brian Maloney should be suspended for a game for this: Do not tell me he's a "great leader" and a "good kid" after that video. The statement should've been the first paragraph and the last sentence. Nothing more.

Jake as fourth coach? I can only come up with four or so better names in the first five seconds ... Ulmer, Smaby, St Clair, Chyzyk, ...

In a scenario where Jake is on staff, no issue. The other point remains: Not staff? Don't contact.

Sounds like an awesome recruiting violation. Last time I looked Jake could point a kid out to staff but not approach. Same goes for you and me. The only way someone like Jake can talk to a potential recruit is if he had a pre-existing relationship with the recruit or their family. (I knew the Frisch family before Ethan was a recruit.) Bottom liine: See a special player? Tell Bubs or someone in UND Athletics.

This. There's a flood on the market with guys looking to use a final year of eligibility based on 2020-21 not counting against them. This is especially true of Ivy players because Ivy rules only give you four academic years on their campuses.

Why? The 2020-21 season did not count for anyone. It does not count against anyone's "five academic years to complete four seasons of play". No one was given an "extra" year. 2020-21 just didn't count against anyone. UAF didn't play in 2020-21. Jandric played two competitive seasons before at UAF and two after (at UND).
