Switch up lines or keep the same lines? Damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't.

Addendum: Filling up next year's roster with more portal players than absolutely necessary and thereby burying young, promising players in our own pipeline would equal a failure of coaching.

Excellent, excellent summary. "My only HOPE is that Berry let's them play in a more wide-open system." That is the million-dollar question. Or will Berry employ 11-27-13 as his top, minutes-eating line.

If next year's d-core is as young as we expect, then the gauntlet has been laid at the coaching staff's feet. Here you go, coaches, show us what you can do. The progress of next year's d-core should be a metric used to determine whether we've got the right staff in place.

I have to wonder if the coaching staff is still trying to adjust to this new era of college hockey, in which the NCAA has largely removed physical play from the game. I mean, UND has always been known for physicality. In fact, I'd argue that over the years no college team has been more associated with physical play than UND (maybe Wisco too, like, during the '70s and '80s). It was UND's identity and UND's reputation. Even when we didn't have a Hrkac or a Toews on the roster, every opposing team knew they'd be black and blue after a series against us. So now...what is our identity? And can UND's current coaches reconstruct an identity that leads to success, wins, and championships?

That's freaking incredible! What a great game we follow...even if our team came out on the wrong side of the score.

Agree. And as for the d-core, coach ‘em up!

Shoulda worn the green unis.

But I do. I do dwell. I know I shouldn’t, but I do.

Dang

Pucks and bodies to the net. Let’s go!

Hang on. CBSSPORTS, the hockey game isn’t over yet. At least give us as much respect as lacrosse!

Anyone in green and black.

Let’s channel our last third period, right now.

Alex just couldn’t help himself. #bonnieblair

Merrimack team promise: At least one blocked shot for every busload of students at the game. Promise kept.

Season on the line. One period to go. Win the third period. LFG.

Did CBSSports hire Omaha’s cameraman?

Not smart. And not as bad as Behren’s boarding penalty that got two minutes.

There's GREEN in the air tonight! And there's already green in the stands at the X!

Finally a call goes against DU. Good job Mr. Referee.

CC is playing inspired hockey right now.

Shireen reported that Chrona said that it was something with his foot.

I feel like it's a good day to be in GREEN.
