It has nothing to do with us as a program (for once, lately). It has everything to do with who is coming back and what playing time is available. Do you really want to tell our first round pick (Emery) that he is going to get dropped to 3rd pair. Or the same goes for Livanavage and Wiebe who passed on pro deals to stick around? We want the best players but we also want to show that we can retain good players that we recruited.

We have our top 4 D set, I don’t think we have a shot at these high end defensemen in the portal. He’s got gophers written all over him.

Yeah but getting access to ESPN is much cheaper than most options, especially if you don’t have Midco

Crazy that he didn’t get a single point in the NCAAs. Talk about a team that was coached insanely well and had the right guys step up when needed.

blech

Disagree. Keep it comin.

It’s getting harder and harder for me to tell if your account is parody, trolling, or just confused. Schloss has over 28K followers on Twitter. I’m not sure there’s a single journalist that focuses on only college hockey that is followed that heavily. If there is, please find me one. Mike McMahon might be one of the others but he’s at about 14k. It’s been said already but I’ll say it again: he has to toe the line closely because if he crossed the line we run the risk of having less access. And we are one of the only teams in the country that had a beat writer exclusively for their team. We are legitimately spoiled

He’s the one who wrote that he’d been told by sources that UND’s scouting presence had diminished recently. For those of us that weren’t in the know regarding that, it was a massive piece of information that painted us in a negative light. It may seem innocent, but it’s one of the more damning things he’s said when you really pick it apart.

Haha that seems like the proper description for it.

Heck I’d take a guy that’s at least a go-to faceoff guy for key draws and I’m not sure Perdion would be the one but who knows.

I like that optimism with us being the likely destination for McKenna. Based on stats it seems like both Perdion and Gault were some of the better +\- players for both of their teams. Obviously that stat doesn’t always tell a great story. Also looking at the player stats for Ferris. Wowzer they were bad haha.

Hoping for? Or likely getting? Menghini and Fault would be good but both are wings. Looks like Perdion was the 4th line center for Long Island and we seem good to go on depth guys. Need a first line center.

Omac goes north really well when he gets to play as a center. He's never going to outmuscle someone and will likely turn over the puck in a corner, but he can float really well through the neutral zone with the puck on his stick.

This one pisses me off. I mean Boisvert hurts more and was infuriating. But with Jax taking over and likely making big changes to our systems, Omac could have thrived next year. It's more the principle of the matter haha

I don't think he's referring to his effort or toughness. He's referring to his style of play and the type of system that fits his skill set.

He's a better goalie than his save percentage. He had a wretched team around him defensively the stretches of time he was in the net. Even TJ's % was poor the first half of the year, especially when surrounded by our abysmal PK the first 3 months. He's good enough to be a starter somewhere in D1. Unfortunately, I'm just not sure that it's the NCHC.

Regarding the PK. Please compare the 1st 2 months of the season compared to the last 2 months of the season. I’ll hang up and listen to see if you think changes were made.

Dane, in your experience, does the most reliable information come out of Joe Black’s or Judy’s?

Better than going to MN I guess.

Sorry if this was said, but UND’s #1 priority is finding centers and it’s not even close. We are sitting decent on the back end but we badly need forwards, especially up the middle

Just added it and have it on. Thanks for the heads up. Greatly appreciated!

Part of me wants to get a message on Thursday reading: ”Head Coach Jackson is currently unavailable to complete the press conference as previously scheduled. He is deep in the trenches of talking with CHL players and coaches, potential recruits, and players in the portal. He has not slept in the last 72 hours due to rebuilding a roster. If anyone is willing to sponsor 2 weeks of Red Bull to keep his momentum going, please contact AD Chaves for drop off. Thank you”

We have a winner for comment of the day. Bravo

Listen RJ Enga, you’re not fooling anyone with that profile handle.

I believe the tension was released a few pages back during the male enhancement discussions.
