Nice interview.

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…

I can't believe it is, and highly doubt that a kid will take classes seriously if he's making bank shootin' da puck...

Elite Prospects has nothing on him. Just Chilliwack

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.

But how do you feel about him personally?

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?

Berg?

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...

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.

But what if it’s just ‘infiltration’ prior to the take over?

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 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.

ESPN?

Maybe it’s not about resources, maybe it’s about building a castle out of the stones that you carried yourself. If you read his story and that of Q, it’s inspiring based on the work and efforts. Folks on this board should have to suffer what some others have. Not everyone has a ‘godfather’ with more money than ethics and a fan base that gives and gives…

No doubt, Jesus that horse was dead in the first response. I felt bad for all of the players, maybe not the fans but definitely the players…

Yup, cuz as we’ve read on this board for the past 3 months… we’re a DEVELOPMENT MACHINE!

I’m comparing two players on the same ice against the same opponents. Both played PP and PK.

Not so sure… JT 8/18-26 +8 CB 10/14-24 -5

TBH, I think we are seeing with Berry the same thing the Omaha folks saw with Blaiser the last 3 years of his tenure. Sloppy coaching, poor recruiting for today's game, loyalty to assistants that maybe should be replaced. Dean couldn't put it together regardless of the talent. That's probably why he retired, he couldn't see the solution and was resistant to suggestion.

who else was on the ice with 18? +/- are not owned by a player, they are a function of who else was on the ice, both UND and opponents.

Don’t think she was offended, rather stating an example (albeit a minor one) of traveling fans behavior and asking the ‘why’? Seemed very respectful of the team.

So maybe not as bad as was thought. Still, not with kids but what else could he do, stick his tongue out?
