I'm guilty of doing it, when Ryan Mantha went MJ I thought it was fine because then we wouldn't have to delay Christian Evers. Hahaha whoops.

When have we unexpectedly lost two blue chips from the team on the same day? This site would crash if that happened. For those saying it's okay....rationalizing is a helluva of drug. This isn't Okposo leaving because his NHL team thought Dinkytown was hindering his development, but it doesn't look good.

Suddenly Motzko pushing Cruikshank and Brinkman out right away doesn't look so good.

Guy on GPL who apparently scooped everyone on Cooley predicted 3 negative things happening, then this: " Just like with Cooley, I would think most fans could figure this out. ... My reluctance to share is because it is very sensitive, as things could still change and it’s an EXTREMELY complex chain of events…which could lead to a “4th”negative. " Could mean the younger Lucius decommits.

No inside info but I'm guessing Harvard, assuming he can get in and the Ivies allow transfers.

This isn't the right thread for this discussion, but Ness isn't getting any scholly money at this point, whereas a kid coming from NTDP would, so it's not a clean swap.

Or when it gets chippy near the end of a blowout win at home

There's another whammy coming for regional institutions. The demographic bomb in a few years is going to slam enrollment. Clown college is already in trouble with enrollment cut in half over the past decade from 16k to 8k.

Bro Hymn and Party Hard are my two favorite NHL goal songs. Other suggestions off the top of my head. Rocking in the Free World - neil young Pump it up - Elvis Costello Pink turns to blue - husker du Diamond eyes - shinedown Death or glory - clash Organ donor - dj shadow Save a prayer - eagles of death metal Roots radical - rancid Diamonds and guns - transplants Song 2 - blur Just please no autotune/mumble rap.

BU has a similar "one of us" mentality to the Gophers where alum only want fellow alum. He'd be the first non-alum in ages.

It's great to have it on ESPN+. More international games on that platform, por favor.

Weren't they a 1 seed when Bemidji beat them last year?

If campus sites can't bid, super regionals are the only way to make sites like Allentown and Manchester work. One east coast, one mid to major metro out west. Detroit Chicago/Milwaukee/Madison MSP Omaha Denver/Springs St. Louis can potentially attend itself into consideration in a few years when they host.

Taking the family to Vegas for Spring Break every year? Sign me up!

Two super regionals now that we have days off in between games. Home sites is better but too many self interested coaches will block it.

Someone already on the team will take a leap. Too much raw talent for nobody to do so. Farmer could unleash Moore to play more offensively.

So is everybody else. Hopefully some more finishers at the NCAA level emerge beyond Gaber.

Motzko is getting them too. The sky isn't falling on UND, but we need to be getting studs from the Canadian prairie to make up for missing on blue chips from the cities.

I don't think it's an act. I generally like him as a coach, interviewee and face of the program. But I'm also a city dweller, and his pace, tone, etc. don't match mine, shall we say. He seems genuine to me, and if you dig through my posting history this is the closest I've come to criticizing him. Just wish he was a little more intense. Not PJ Fleck intense, just....moreso.

Berry's gee shucks persona is not my favorite, and I would wager it costs us recruits, but him staying calm as it transpired hopefully keeps that possibility alive.

Honestly, let's just hope the staff and Spicer remain on good terms and he can transfer in with ease. Struggles but adapts as a freshman, breaks out So or Jr year, and comes home.

What is UW? DU definitely has a rich kid daycare reputation, but it is also a top dog in rich kid sports like hockey, lacrosse and skiing (lax I root for y'all).

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/97214/mike-szmatula Consistently less output every season.

That's well put.

If they were telling him up until recently he was coming in, that was definitely a mistake on their part. You're as dialed in to recruiting as anyone on this board, so if you say that's the case I believe it. He needs to do what is best for him, hopefully he isn't making career-impacting decisions out of spite. It's likely that he was considered a low flight risk as a local. Will be interesting to see the reception he receives if he ever plays at the Ralph
