You're comparing basketball to hockey.... The NCAA Hockey Tournament is the biggest crap shoot out of the 4 major sports. The 2019 championship Duluth won, they got a goal late to tie Bowling Green and beat them in OT in the first round. In 2018 they needed help to sneak in the tournament and then bounced Mankato in OT in the first round and then went on for 3 consecutive 2-1 wins. One bad bounce in each of those years and we aren't having this discussion that Sandelin is the savior. My point is not always the best or most talented team wins in the college hockey playoff format. Look at UND 2010-2011 team had 32 wins, third most at the time in program history, outshot Michigan 2 to 1 in the frozen four and ran into a hot goalie. UMD is dumpster fire with other issues off the ice. I would much rather be a Sioux fan...

Honest question, do you think the name change has hurt recruiting?

Mankato?

You have to remember there was a lot of teams that contacted him when he hit the portal. We have the best facilities in the world, but we are competing against B1G $$$ and Hastings who has made it clear those are the type of guys he wants on his roster.

Blake is signing with Carolina. Berg is staying for another year. Wilkie visit seemed to go okay, I'm guessing he will be making a decision today sometime.

Your boy Carle

He made World Junior team over Livanavage...

Very good point.

Need some good news today guys..

They are currently working on getting a permanent AHL affiliate. "The long-term plan is for us to have our own affiliate for the 2024-25 season," said Carolina general manager Don Waddell back in May.

Plan on going with my son for tomorrows games.

DuPont expected to receive exceptional status (msn.com)

Whitelaw would be a great add. Love his game. Played with Celebrini at Shattuck.

I'm beginning to realize why Saban got out when he did. The next 10 years in college sports is going to be very interesting.

My point is we can't keep telling these kids to go play juniors another year because we are loaning guys from the portal. Too many guys that have decommited in the last few years.

We really could use another right handed defenseman for next year though. Zmolek and Emery only ones.

Aaron Marvin.

I get we want these big names in the portal but we also have to trust our guys that are already with the team and the guys in the pipeline.

NHL.com's Mark Divver said the Gophs were the favorite yesterday.

Grant Cruikshank only one that comes to mind.

Gophers official IG account following him. I read hes down to UND, Minny, and Wisco.

Tech fans chanting "NOT A SHUTOUT!" lol

I'd deal with a crazy dad for 30+ points/year from a Dman

Heard from a reliable source that he was a "me" first guy. Probably wouldn't have meshed well with our culture. Also heard his dad was trying to be overly involved with everything.

As a D man
