To your point: while at Green Bay in 2020-2021, Kunz led the Gamblers in goals scored (23g in 50gp). That team had some good talent: Mason Lohrei, Ryan Kirwan, Cam Thiesing, Ryan Greene, and our very own Jake Schmaltz. It would be HUGE if Kunz rediscovered his goal scoring this coming season.

Wanting some news on d-men, Mr. Brad Schlossman!

Forum members must have had alot of Easter ham yesterday... ...because we're a little salty today.

<getting frustrated by issues with UND roster> <reads ESPN article about Minnesota Timberwolves> <UND problems don't seem so bad>

I think the vast majority of us agree with this assessment. I imagine Coach Berry agrees too. The question is, Why are we in the place of needing the portal so badly?

Where are the d-men needed to fill out the roster? Patience, patience.

Like I always say, when you think of upscale Mexican food, think of Denver, Colorado.

The two youngest teams in the nation made it to the Frozen Four.

Minny and QU were the two best teams in the country. Game went to OT. If QU was going to win, it was going to be close and low-scoring. If Minny was going to win, it was going to be 7-2.

I expect next year’s team to have significant offensive punch, so when it comes to finding portal defenseman, I’m just hoping for guys who are defensively sound.

It’s like the old joke, How do you keep a Norwegian in suspense? I’ll tell you tomorrow.

Summit League to (possibly) add hockey? Feels like it would just be an off-brand B1G. Thanks, but no thanks.

This is the best stat I’ve seen in many moons.

That'd be a great name for a heavy metal band.

Well let's get 'em!

So Felicio is in the USHL as a 16-year old. Is it normal for 16-year olds to be in the USHL?

This is the big takeaway. It was boneheaded by Cooley to be engaged with the QU player at all.

There is so much to dig into here. I wonder what kind of expenditures count as hockey spending? Facility maintenance and upgrades, I presume? Coaches salaries, certainly. Nevertheless, Wisconsin is getting terrible return on investment. QU and Mankato, on the other hand, are getting a lot for their hockey dollars. I am encouraged to see UND at the top of the spending heap because it shows our commitment to hockey. Now we need to turn that commitment—and those dollars—into more wins and more banners.

+1 on a new team with a natty I’ll be interested to see if Lindenwood can find a conference. Zombo seems to be doing good work down there.

I hope NIL and the NCAA don’t kill college sports. Professional sports just cannot duplicate the heart and passion on display in college athletics. QU’s celebration, Minny’s devastation is what makes college hockey so freaking compelling.

Whaddya say, next year in St. Paul?

Pecknold seemed classy and sincere in victory.

Nah, there were lacrosse highlights to show.

QU almost got skated out of the rink over the first 35-40 minutes. Then Minny went away from their strength. Let this be a lesson. KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL UNTIL THERE IS NO DOUBT.

Good kid. Terrific family.
