Here's what I'm using ,

I'm passively watching on mute. Why was that a five?

In the next few years we gotta expect the whole thing to be on ESPN+. This specific one is a huge missed opportunity to have content when there's nothing else to watch.

Hopefully the likelihood of being drafted by the Senators doesn't scare him off...

Anyone with a link?

Beckett Hendrickson to the Gophers. No surprise

Poaching season opens today!

Welp. Good call @AJS

Michigan should (but won't) receive a one season post-season ban from the NCAA for the lying about contact tracing. Could have derailed an entire regional.

Maybe we can poach him when they want him to develop for another year in juniors...

That's definitely a good thing. Visit GF in August rather than January!

It's all good, it's just odd seeing someone with 0.5 ppg in HS hockey committing alongside all the NTDP kids today.

Looking over the commits today, two thoughts. Both Michigan State and Notre Dame got commits from kids who grew up together, it's possible they were packages. Also, both the Gopher and Badger commit are coast kids who moved to MN as a teen. With the rise in telecommuting that is easier to do now and much less travel-intensive than AAA. EDIT: one more observation, a fraction of as many total commits as last year on 8/1. Here's a list:

It was tongue in cheek, the commit doesn't seem like someone who would be fending off suitors. But maybe Rico found a diamond in the rough, who knows.

St Thomas having a commit today before we do is an ominous sign for the future.

Who specifically did we beat Michigan and BC/BU for? Genuinely curious.

A new chant like "U - N - D" or "North Da-Ko-Ta" would help.

A Quebecois with a qmjhl jersey on in his profile pic? Let the Boston schools try to keep him honoring his commitment.

Curious what Portz's thoughts are about Brendan Phelps, who coached him prior to UND. This has potential to be a train wreck for that organization and league. Hopefully he catches a good beat down.

Dallas declined to offer sheet Kawaguchi. Hope he gets a game in the N at some point.

Brad shared the Wild development camp list to mention a Roseau native going to Vermont, but Hobie Hedquist is at it as well.

James at 40th overall. Lorenz and Lucius dropping.

Stinks we didn't get Cooley after his decommit or Howard. The Chaska kids seem born to be Gophers. And if we ever get a first rounder out of Michigan/Massachusetts, I'll drink to that. Having both Chyzyk and Mattson on staff at the hockey middle school Snuggerud and Brink's dads run could help getting some southwest metro blue chips down the road. More than anything, I'm curious if we can start getting some of the studs out of Winnipeg/MB to consider UND with NIL money exceeding their MJ stipend. The cousins from there both drafted today would have been targets in that scenario.

Haha, well they are all Quebecois so definitely a possibility.
