.I said this when they offered the Covid year. It has really screwed up the recruiting pipelines for many teams. A lot of these kids wanted to come in 2021 and were put off. That will affect a great deal of commitments. I don’t think the NCAA did us any favors. My bet is the next 2 to 3 years will be very odd indeed. You have to remember it’s just not seniors. The juniors, sophomores, and freshman, all have an additional year. Between that, and the transfer portal, what a mess!

They are in a slump, it happens. Two months ago, this board was on fire with the ‘we cannot be beat’, now it’s the mail it in crowd. Good lord, lots of hockey left, you think these kids don’t read this board? I can hear it now, ‘I hope they do, fire them up, maybe they will play some Sioux hockey (which will put them in the box for half the game)’…

Also be interesting if they were to place a Western win versus Michigan in the mix to see the impact of the "duck and cover"

yes it would...

New video equipment for Denver replays!

I get that, but the ‘penalties’ were so weak and questionable. Ward got 5 and a game for trying to position his stick. It wasn’t a cross check. Not even close. Run it on NCHC. Omaha was in the box for 34 minutes, of which maybe 12 minutes pass muster. Like Walsh had a bone to pick.

You obviously didn’t watch that game. From an officiating standpoint it was a travesty.You obviously didn’t watch that game. From an officiating standpoint it was a travesty.

The rematch will be interesting in a few weeks…

Walsh with the assist.

This game is a joke.

Not from the penalty box. Bremer - tripping?

Denver, you might want to slip your video guy a c-note after the game…

‘Technical difficulties’ - cth on Denver against Knoepke

I think we’re going to see a lot of portal action in Miami this yearI think we’re going to see a lot of portal action in Miami this year

So this means Omaha is idle for a month, not good for them either. This whole thing is going south fast...

Well then Michigan will have to cancel the balance of their schedule!

Oh stop, when we got Driscoll everybody was drooling how was a gold tender situation was covered. What are we gonna do wait till next year?

Tis the weekend sport my friends and a curse that never ends hockey is the game they play just not well on each Friday… one thing that we surely know tenders come and tenders go!

Agreed. Having been to the Olympics as a spectator (yes - 1980 vs the Czechs and Russians) I can tell you that for him to be a part of that and have that memory is probably a once in a lifetime shot. Maybe he says I stay at UND as a Junior to get the rest of it...

A ‘catamount’ is another name for mountain lion. It’s eastern…

this isn't the players, we can't dump it on them. Doubt there was a vote, this is administration and staff.

And think about the guys that could potentially miss the tournament, like 17-20 based on this game not being played!

This hurts anyone that beat Western Michigan if western would go on to beat Michigan.

Watching this game, interestingly even. If not for a high stick interception, a penalty shot and some shoddy refereeing, it’s one to one.
