If only Hak put him in during that Omaha game when Saunders let in 6 while Zane was hurt. That had to feel rotten to not see the ice that game.

you are adorable.
Based on your previous comments, you don't like hockey or UND. The speed with which you replied to a perceived slight towards your school of choice on a UND hockey forum is a clear indicator of how fulfilling a life you lead.

That's your only comeback, "wearing a Sioux ball cap on flights got me invited into a few cockpits and shout outs from pilots"? Our reputation isn't top notch right now and the longer this nickname debate and "fire Kelley" signs show up, the more we look silly.....
It wasn't a comeback, it's a unique perspective to my reminder that UND is far and away a better school. It was in lieu of citing the law/med schools, larger endowment, etc. The only people who are watching the nickname controversy are those directly affected by it, i.e. live in the region or follow college hockey/Big Sky conference. John Oliver did more damage to the state with his segment than the nickname ever could.

Why throw gas on a smoldering fire??? The nickname issue and President Kelley's issues are just dragging our school down, while the school from the south is excelling, we are making ourselves look like idiots. Kelley will be gone in a couple months and the Fighting Sioux nickname is not coming back, this should've been realized when the NCAA put us on the "list". I love the nickname and logo but the longer these issues drag on the less appealing it is for future students to want to go to UND.
UND is a space grant institution with the top public aviation program to boot. NDSU is an ag school that most people outside the region were unaware of before their JV dynasty began. Wearing a sioux ball cap on flights in my early 20s got me invited into a few cockpits and plenty of shout outs from pilots. Athletic success is fleeting, reputation is forever.

Rats are always the first to abandon a sinking ship. His brother transferred from Tech to Niagara right before Tech turned it around with Mel.

Both games stream for free here:

Watched a little bit of Friday's game against Omaha on my phone during my commute, decent camera work all things considered. Muted it so can't comment on play by play.

Anyone listen to Berry on College hockey radio interview? Some big name wanting to come here was told no by UND's staff for character issues. Berry said if their character doesn't fit into the Sioux culture they don't take them, no matter how good they are! Wow..is that the big name that just chose BC?
https://www.spreaker.com/user/8377958/brad-berry-north-dakotaHe said it was a few years ago and alluded to the player decommiting/going MJ. Tommy Vannelli or Jack Dougherty are my guesses, but it's obviously just speculation. The latter mentioned more than once he grew up a Sioux fan. Some of my beer league buddies here in Portland are big Winterhawks fans, they are ecstatic to have him.
-
yep so right now only Hernandez, Hutsko, and Gildon are uncommitted. Plus one more is close to decommiting.
not Mismash....right?
-
It boggled my mind that Western Michigan didn't get votes this week but Ferris State (who they beat and tied), Wisconsin and Brown did. After beating #10 BGSU tonight that won't be the case next time. They looked good in the clips I watched, and I'm glad to see them piling up non-conference wins.

I'm just glad there are more of us referring to them as the trolls they are. I thought it was just me for soooo long...
Troll is overused on the same level as hipster or bro, but there really is no better way to describe them. Maybe if Duluth had a fanbase they could interact with like-minds instead.
-
Not to go all gopher fan here, but as nice as it would have been to get a Dman of his caliber, missing on Fabbro doesn't seem that bad to me. Although we are about to lose a lot on the blueline, we've got a lot of talent on campus and coming in, and what we need is goaltending to come through, the right kind of chemistry, and maybe a little bit of Lady Luck. We have the talent.
Hard to sound like Hammy without the sanctimonious undertone and insider humble-brags. Not quite as annoying as the Duluth trolls but certainly up there.
-
No video is easier to swallow so long as there is footage for ND hockey with BB.
Midco appears to be in und's pocket with some pretty blatant recruiting shots. Clips of attractive young women at the game and framing the scenes with Berry with championship banners is no accident. Through these doors gets more views but this show is great for us armchair coaches.
-
Why the depletion prediction? I see a back to back championship team. I see two seniors gone that will hurt, anymore is a coin toss.
Ladue, Thompson gone for sure. Poolman and Stecher, I'll guess one of them is gone. Schmaltz likely, Johnson possibly. Boeser could be one and done. Maybe early departure is a better phrase than depletion since the senior class isn't big this year.
Then again, we reload rather than rebuild. I shouldn't be trying to predict next season before this one even starts. This big of a freshman class has me worried about Wisconsin syndrome though.
-
This team is going to be hit with once in a decade depletion after this season. If they don't make the tournament the regional will be a bust, granted not as bad as others.
-
Let the lineup speculation begin:
Cagguila Schmaltz Pogo
Johnson Boeser Chyzyk
Simonson Gersich Janatuinen
Wilkie Olson Gardner
Sanderson
Not even gonna try with D since I'd have to look up righty or lefty for everyone, but if I recall correctly it's not a 4/4 split
-
Thanks for pointing this out! I forgot to go back and check on that. They also charged me $89.95 after telling me it would be $81. Email has been sent to them.
They refunded me the $8 as well. Immediately spent at the nearest taco truck.

Big cities is the tie that binds his remaining schools, although BC is kinda in the suburbs. I bet DU gets him. When ASU gets good and more Pac 12 schools add hockey Denver will take the biggest recruiting hit. It's the most appealing school to west coast kids who spurn the dub.

What did everyone else get charged from NCHC.tv? There was supposed to be a deal where we received last year's dues. I was charged $89.99, I could have swore it was cheaper than that.
I was charged the same, and forwarded them an email from last month where they quoted 81.95, politely asking for clarification about the discrepancy. No reply yet. NCHCtv@neulion.com is the customer service email.

I wonder who Schlossman was talking about when he said, "Some of the guys people assume will be out, have looked pretty good".
guys assumed out:
Gardner/Janatuinen (sp) ?
Sanderson
Gornall
Chartrand
I'm curious who sits between Shaw and Wolanin. D has more lefties than righties too
-
Yep. It's a sh*t deal. No way around it. How many years are left in the CBS Sports Net contract? The league should start looking for alternatives. I love the crew the does the CBS Sports games but not that much.
Also don't get why the bloody hell Notre Dame's crappy hockey team needs more air time when they already have NBC Sports Network airing their games.
wouldn't be a shocker to see Notre Dame in the nacho in the next few seasons. this seems like a precursor. ASU/Mankato/Bowling Green would all love to keep it an even number.
-
For away, out of conference games, what do we know about viewing?
Vermont streams their games free on their Youtube channel. Good out of conference opponent choice.
Michigan State might get picked up by Big Ten Network, otherwise do they stream?
Icebreaker tourney? Bemidji State? I know the latter is on Prairie Public or something like that, but what about online?
Those are the only unknowns. Not bad compared to where we were a few years ago.

Did anyone else share this yet? Happened over a week ago.
