Well, let’s see what we’ve got in the 3rd. So far we clearly look the better team.
-
Played physical. Knocked them off the puck 2-3 times

Damn that was sweet, didn’t let off the gas once.

This weekend sets the tone for the season. Miami will remember us folding a 3 goal lead.
Things I’d like to see proof of: Toughness, depth, conditioning.
Come out hard and play hard to the buzzer both nights without running out of gas, if we are able to do that we will have a good year even if we lose one.
But let’s not lose one.

Not sure about message board but they have some bloggers I would call moderately clueless... but I do remember when this rumored game started to pick up steam, I think they were excited to play traditional power as opposed to their normal non conference schedule of Atlantic Hockey opponents.
I googled Roar Zone - that’s the name of their student section, and some things come up.

Their rink is a recent gift and cost 88 million for construction and another 12 million was donated to the program for incidentals. Even though PSU is a football school I think they lead the nation in attendance to all sports combined.
Went D1 in maybe 2013 and dove right in.
I admire their love of sports but they are a hard group to get behind with that damn electric lion roar every couple of minutes. Not a perfect comparison but think Eagles and Flyers fans.

Delta flys direct from Minny to Nashville in 2 hrs 11 minutes for $255 on Priceline
It’s a bucket list town with great party bars, restaurants, bourbon, and live music close together with no cover.
North Dakota can take over the Wild Horse with 2,000 capacity.
I wouldn’t count on PSU fans if they play a football that night but if not there would be a couple thousand from the local base.
But I think it could sell out simply because of the location, venue, and a shot at PSU.
Getting a vrbo for 5-6 days in the surrounding area might be a good idea. There’s a lot of great views and things to do within driving distance.

UMD sweeps #1 ND with a 3-1 win.
Northeastern beats SCSU 3-2 after SCSU had a 2-0 lead.Nice to see the domes get swept at home and Ohio State leave BGreen with only a tie. The world somehow feels more in balance

Couldn’t see the game. We finally scored so that’s good.
Questions:
Do we have any speed on the ice?
How did we allow all those goals. Bad D or bad goaltending?
-
It is what it is until it isn’t. I figure I’ll be dead someday and in the meantime I’m all about UND hockey under any logo. The argument is a bit like the Big-endians vs the Little-endians with the egg tasting the same regardless of how you crack it.
Gonna wear my green on black Hawks jersey when I travel to Oxford on the 9th so their fans aren’t confused while UND kicks their ass.

Hello all, I wrote this evaluating the NHL potential of some UND players this season. Feel free to read and give me some feedback. Happy hockey season! https://seamoresports.com/2018/09/13/nhl-pyramid-und-fighting-hawks-2018-2019/
This is great. Living a long way from GF I really appreciate it and hope to see more.
Do you or anyone have an opinion on who on this squad has the quickest burst and who is the fastest end to end skater? How fast over-all is this year’s team?
GM’s keep saying the game has changed and speed is a priority more than ever. The league gets younger and faster every year.
Guys like McDavid and Stamkos have sick speed but Brayden Point’s jump wins games as well. Just wondering we will look regarding and speed and acceleration

When I see the word “chippa” I cringe and feel like I’m in Jersey or Mattapan. I’ll stick with “chip”.
Recruit at the highest level possible,, some will turn into 3-4 year players.
Imho and fwiw, the chip vs grinder label when it comes to recruiting isn’t even a thing in ncaa hockey because of all the options these kids have. “Best available” is a thing. My last comment on that.
It’s impressive every time BB signs one of these guys and hats off to him. The staff has to develop them but it’s good to start with highest quality clay. The future looks bright.
Happy Friday

Since I live 1000 miles away I get to 1-2 games per year so I’ve never seen the entire REA.
I’m a big believer in blink moments; what exactly does a prospective recruit see when he is introduced to the facility other than the obvious such as the view from the seats.
I guess I’m thinking more about trophy displays, photos, history, training facilities, player lounge...all the things that at first impression make it clear to them and parents this is the place they want to be.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard Mr. Stratton.
Well done coach Berry.
Impressive get, he should be a game ready player when he hits the ice.

Where is Chicago University?
I had that one coming. After I hit submit I realized it and knew I’d catch a comment or two, but didn’t bother to come back to edit. Can’t get away with anything these days.

I’ve never ever heard someone argue that a team should pass up on the highest rated players (except for character issues).
If Chicago University performed a 40 year back-tested statistical study to prove it was a valid strategy there would probably be a Nobel Prize in there somewhere.
I will grant that the one-and-done may complicate the graph but probably not much.
That being said, this looks like a pretty good class on it’s way. Right now my favorite grinder is Berry, keep it up coach.

Am I misunderstanding, or are we saying it’s a good idea to intentionally recruit some less talented players over high-end talent?
I’ve passionately followed recruiting and seen the results for decades. There are exceptions to everything but elite programs intentionally going after mid-level players is a new concept to me.
Some former mid-lower tier programs like Ohio State used to ignore Minnesota kids in exchange for grinders from Dublin Ohio. But not anymore, they have several kids from Minnesota, and countries like Canada, Ukraine, Germany, and New Jersey
With an 85 man football roster it’s not unusual for the blue bloods to scholarship one legacy player and one or two 3-4th yr proven walk-ones. But hockey and BB don’t have much room for an average year. Maybe I’m wrong

My motto has been when there are money issues the easiest answer is “make more money”.
The Big 10 is handing out 51,000,000 per team their year.
I don’t know what the issues would be but joining their hockey conference would give us a piece of that pie. Right now we are a commodity.
-
I hated to see the program cut simply because as a grad who has lived over 1000 miles out of state for decades I know that UND’s identity is hockey. Despite attendance etc it was a big loss in the big picture.
But, everything has to be paid for and until there is a way to do that it can’t and shouldn’t survive. (Does that apply to football? I’m not informed enough about it’s relationship to donations, ancillary income, and conference requirements to comment)
I held out hope it would find its way back via thinking outside the box to fund it, not by ex-players taking the easiest way out and hiring a self agrandizing SJW to ram it down everyone’s throat and forcing other people to pay enough to feed a third world country without making their own concerted effort.
I really hoped it would come back, but not this way. Hopefully the suit gets tossed in a summary judgement and we start again on the right foot.

First Rounders, second rounders, third rounders - either way as long as we don't return to the "we need more grinders" philosophy that gave us our Junior class.
Spot on. Top programs go after the best and go hard. A great staff considers recruiting as competitive as the games.

I was reading somewhere that in some places malls are being converted to anything you can imagine. Condos. Assisted living. A fire station! Why not a library.
Probably because libraries are even more obsolete than malls. Shelves of books are medieval technology.
Libraries now are glorified meeting spaces, study halls, and a place to make copies
Nobody makes libraries anymore, they just downsize or close them. If I don’t want to buy a kindle book I download it directly from the library onto my desktop, laptop, notebook, or kindle. They don’t even need to buy a hard copy to lend it out. And google search gives more info than every magazine in a library in seconds
The entire Harvard library could be in a large room with computers, scanners, and a handful of IT employees and librarians.
I’ve seen gov’t offices successfully rent mall space. Tax office, DMV, gun licenses, special offices of police force, early voting, etc

Absolutely no offense intended but that’s what blue chips do.
There’s a lot of guys who go all-out 60 minutes; if they don’t that’s on the coaches and staff. But you can’t coach speed, instinct, past training, or natural athleticism.
Congrats to the staff on this one, keep em’ coming.

Didn’t look like a mistake or let down. Play like this in the 3rd we’ll be ok.
