NHL players are allowed to gamble legally, just not on hockey.
And they said he did not bet on hockey.
Mye guess is that instead of using the NHL and Ottawa Senators endorsed site Bet99 that Pinto may have instead used the betting services of Joey Baggadonuts
They said that he did not bet on NHL hockey. Quite possibly he was betting on the college game. Maybe, just maybe, he might’ve had insider knowledge?

So if he didn't bet on Hockey and gambling is allowed in Casino's and through gambling sites....my guess is being a New York kid he gambled through a bookie which could open him up to possible undue influence if he had debts?
It is kind of funny actually, all you see during any sporting event are gambling ads. Every social media platform is overrun with them.

Nothing new there though. They always have that kind of schedule. Sometimes it works for them, sometimes it doesn’t.
From what I’ve seen so far, the usual suspects aren’t necessarily as usual as normal. Seems that we are reaching a state of equilibrium. With the portal teams can build faster and rebuild faster.

Ah man, wish I could be there for that.
I was thinking the same thing. What a moment.

Could have been the ‘Fighting Suits’ and the sweater could have been a faux-tuxedo!… I’ll see myself out…

Hmm, apparently someone(s) thought that 'Fighting Sioux' was NOT a fine tribute to the state's historic/original human inhabitants.
Did you see where the NFL ‘Commanders’ are getting sued? You guessed it!!! Go Sue! (Politically correct)

In fairness, ice had just been invented.
Dirt came long as a new product a couple years later.
All those wooden sticks and leather goalie pads… I wonder how he would have faired back in the day!

We'll call this general college hockey even though Gaber is one of the case studies.

Holy cow, good memory!
While an odd number isn't ideal, it isn't an insurmountable issue. It's a bigger headache for the regular season, as one team will always be without a conference opponent. There are pretty standard approaches for the postseason tournament, as has been mentioned in this thread. The best* option? Top eight teams qualify. Period. It's both simple and provides a natural reward for not finishing in last place (even though teams will have a slightly differing strength-of-schedule due to the "pod" approach of regular-season scheduling).
*Best means "that which is closest to my opinion."
I like the top 4 to a semi-final (best of 3) and a championship series (best of 3). Forget the whole damn league in the playoffs…

Is that an asset that's as valuable as it once was?
I can't believe it is, and highly doubt that a kid will take classes seriously if he's making bank shootin' da puck...

It’s not that deep buddy, I’m not worried about the “history of North Dakota”. I’m wondering what Luke’s experience was actually like at UND. Also, it’s the off-season.
Read my post again, s.l.o.w.l.y. It’s about the kid and his state of mind and actions. Says nothing about anything else. The additional words are supportive of the argument ‘buddy’…

I don’t know why anyone would want to read between the lines of a quote by a 20 year old trying to justify their decision to leave a program with the history of a North Dakota. He’s a kid. He wants to play. Let him be.

He's an absolute tool in my opinion, he knows exactly what he did, why and how to do it to avoid actual being accountable for saying it.
He's the slithering jealous worm of the college hockey media world....
I categorize him as basically a meth'ed out dubay with a spellchecker and the login to a Twitter account.
But how do you feel about him personally?

True.
I think the process of a player entering the portal and calling around or having his advisor(assuming he has one) make some calls to find a new home or better fit is pretty standard even if done in reverse where a player reaches out to his advisor and has him check the temperature ahead of his entering the portal so a player has destination ahead of entering the portal technically.
I am guessing the accusations come in where some feel that schools are reaching out to an advisor and inquiring as to whether a player would be interested in entering the portal or having players reach out to their former USHL or other Junior league teammates which some players could potentially do on their own. "Hey coach I was texting with my old buddy and linemate X and he said he was thinking about entering the portal but there are really only 1 or 2 places he would want to go and doesn't want to enter the portal unless he can land at one of those schools and feels if he enters the portal he is pretty much committed to leaving...what do you think he should do?"
I am guessing that many of these guys who have played on travel teams and in juniors with 100's of different players have pretty extensive contact lists touching most of the college teams in the country on their phones and could easily conquer 6 degrees of should I enter the portal?
You make a really good point here. If I am some guy, and I don't want to lose my scholarship unless I can go to 'x' university, I would be on the spot if they weren't interested, and, I might be WAY worse off than if I had just sat back and stayed. I still hate the portal. I also hate the covid year. Did I mention that I hated the portal?

Continued reliance* on the portal in a post- "extra Covid year" world will be a signal he's not recruiting like he should be.
*Reliance, not occasional use in the case of an exceptional opportunity.
I cannot wait for the *extra covid year* to be in the rearview mirror. I think it kills recruiting and the teams that minimize the use of it will come out much better in the end. It feeds the portal, and that need to be better managed as well. I said it before. NEW RULE: you cannot enter the portal without a one year penalty after your Sophomore year. Done next...

This is what's gonna drag people (or programs) into the muck with the NCAA, or with whatever state or local body has the power to enforce the relevant laws/rules. Arguably, the entire premise underlying NIL was that one's name, image, and/or likeness would have some value BEFORE money starts getting thrown around. Giving blanket or flat sums to recruits before they've set foot on campus - save for the occasional blue chip superstar - is almost certainly going to raise eyebrows.
Sham NIL deals hiding pay-to-play setups may be hard to prove, but probably not impossible.
Your head is in the sand, that’s all NIL is, pay for play. It was a violation to buy a kid dinners, now they can buy them the restaurant! That Dylan Raiola kid is going from team to team pushing their boosters to up the ante week by week. The agents and lawyers are having a field day. Hasn’t taken a snap in NCAA football yet.

This pushes back against the whole "B1G Taking Over The World" narrative pushed by some on here.
Great pick up!
But what if it’s just ‘infiltration’ prior to the take over?

I believe that a player should get 1 move, completely unencumbered, to any school - as long as it takes place prior to the junior year. The ONLY exceptions to this would be a change of coaching or a personal matter that can not be resolved any other way.
I also believe all of the BS restraint rules about attending a Major Junior camp, practice or signing (though playing less than 10 games) should be waived as well. Kids should be able to see both sides before the NCAA slams the door…

I am an older fan also (have been to games in all 3 arenas at UND). And I totally agree with your statement.
