I'm kind of surprised that Davis hasn't signed yet. Normally there is a team willing to go with a "Lightning in a bottle" gamble on a kid that had the performance that he had.
I'm hearing from my Denver fans friends to expect something soon from the Carle camp about possibilities in the NHL. The Pios are talking restructuring his contract, so it will take a bit of guaranteed money to get him to jump ship.

You may not care about NCAA titles, but they help define the greatness of a program. And Denver and Duluth have a combined 5 since we won #8 in 2016. Those are hard facts, facts that cannot be explained away by bad luck and/or the single elimination format.
This postseason was an unmitigated disaster. This team had the table set to have a huge turnout by the Fighting Sioux/Hawks faithful for the regional (Sioux Falls) and the Frozen Four (St. Paul). And they flushed it down the toilet. After winning all those games and the Penrose. I honestly hope the coaching staff can figure out why this team loses its mental edge after clinching the Penrose. Because it will be more of the same next season unless they can.
I will be in my seat in REA as always next season. But this trend of early playoff exits is concerning.
Eff man....don't turn a dumb attempt at humor into a diatribe of "doesn't care about national championships", and a history lesson about Denver and Duluth's success.
Just block me and my posts....it's easier that way.

Screw that. I am so sick of Denver. Third title in four Frozen Four trips since we last got to the Frozen Four in 2016. We are playing second fiddle to another program.....again. They must be the luckiest team in the history of collegiate sports. (sarcasm)
But we beat them three out of four times in the regular season and won the Penrose Cup, so everything is good. Right? (sarcasm)
I guarantee you nobody outside our fanbase thinks we had a better season. Including potential recruits that have UND and Denver on their short lists. But UND athletics is all about the "student-athlete experience" and wins and losses don't matter.
I don't know how we got here, but I hope we find an escape hatch and quickly. Because we are capable of so much more than this.
Fine. Fine. I'll pick Denver to win it all in @jimdahl's pool next season.
But everyone has to be okay with that leaving the door open for Minnesota or Duluth to win.

Swanson top 6 no doubt. I like the thought of him with Berg, but if Wilkie is better on draws then he's my pick to play with Mac and a guy like Omac.
Swanson-Berg-Perron seems a bit on the undersized side of things, but I'll allow it with production.

Curious to know if you were cheering for Denver to win? Wondering if the conference alliance is more important than a rival winning a championship.
I'm guilty of this. I put my money on the Eagles, but wanted the NCHC conference foe to win the game.
If it was Duluth-BC I probably would have wanted BC to win for more than just my wallet.

Cutter heading to Anaheim as we speak. That was a stupid pre game comment.

People like me will remember that goaltending performance forever.
Matt Davis may get some money thrown at him soon.

What I wouldn't give to have a four game goaltending performance like Davis in the NCAA tournament.
Just sensational.

Wallner finally goes deep....off a position player.
A win is a win....

Twins score four runs without a hit...
8-4. Waller facing 53 mph heat coming....

Twins have got to win game 1 here today. Too many chances. Bases loaded and nobody out....
Alcala has saved them twice....

If BC wins I'm the champ in a different bracket where I'm not the kiss of death.
Fly eagles fly.
BC wins 4-2. Book it.

So, I think if BC wins we have a two-way tie between dakotaKid92 and Erik List, but if Denver wins MafiaMan will jump to the top.

I can't see Lucius in GF. I mean his parents built him his own school.
Or are we the new landing spot for spoiled rich kids who committed when they were 11?

I'm not ready to call Denver as lucky as Duluth was. And I know that we are joking around a bit with the whole "lucky topic", but I digress...
~Bowling Green literally scored on themselves late to give Duluth life..... (2019)
~Little goalie from Michigan shutting down the pony express in the performance of his life at the X (UND would have beaten Duluth). (2011)
~Before they got to that point in 2011, Yale's best player is given a major penalty for head contact in the regional final when he went shoulder to shoulder with the Duluth player. This was before they reviewed major penalties. Those two goals on the 5 minute major were the difference in that game.
~Making the NCAA tournament being the last team in with every single game going their way on conference championship Saturday to get in. Then Air Force knocks off the #1 overall seed SCSU. (2018)Maybe its my blind hatred of Duluth, but I can appreciate what Denver has done a lot more than what Duluth did.

Denver and BC. Denver is going to need their goaltender to stay hot.
Carle is a good coach, he will give his guys a puncher's chance.

BC is so skilled offensively that any of those cute plays up top can just kill you the other way.
Now Michigan has to take some chances....not good for them.

I forgot how much money was thrown at Hak to head to Philly. Wonder if he regrets it? Gotta imagine Carle contacts Jim Montgomery too.
