At this point, I just want Jackson, Raboin, or whoever the hell North Dakota hires to be able to adapt to modern hockey & hockey players, recruit high end players from all over the world, and balance that with finding culture guys who will play hard every night for 3-4 years. Get back to the UND way of being tough to play against, and not struggling against freakin Miami and the like.

Recruiting non Minnesotans is pretty rare at Minnesota, Raboin sealing the deal on one super elite guy and another who became a super elite guy is very impressive.

Hiring Dane Jackson could be just fine, or it could be the 18 wheeler going off the cliff very quickly. Would prefer Raboin or an experienced Canadian junior coach

Not as annoying as Buccigross thankfully

Boston College Michigan State Final, Boston College wins, Fowler outduels Augustine, Leonard comes up clutch. 4-2 Eagles with an empty netter.

Weekes is a good studio analyst but not very good on color, tries too hard to be entertaining. Would also imagine his NCAA knowledge is nowhere close to what is needed, but you'd think he'll be prepped well enough to not sound too dumb.

You think Lindberg is coming in straight from the NTDP? Wonder if they want him to play another year of junior like they had Laurila do, really benefitted Laurila.

J Swish is clearly biased in favor of what he knows, nothing inherently wrong with that, I don't expect a former player turned entertainer/content creator to have the closest pulse on what the program actually needs.

Just make sure the Goofers don't win

James Patrick is the interesting name Schloss listed. UND alum, NHL guy, Dub coaching experience, current Victoria Royals head coach. Patrick could get a ton of high end guys from all of Western Canada, problem is he’s 61 and likely doesn’t want to leave junior. Also doesn’t match the job requirements as he doesn’t have NCAA coaching experience.

The way Hedquist was/wasn't used in the 2nd makes me think he's gone as others on here have alluded to. But who knows, he is in line to get the starting job (unless they grab another portal goalie).

Not a doctor, but that would make it seem like a return after the Holiday Break would be the target for Bear.

We thinking Emery stays or goes somewhere else?

A lot of the top CHLers will definitely have UND near the top of their list simply because of the program's history/reputation for developing NHLers (especially Canadians). But the development part got worse under Berry, and if @yzerman19 is right about the top 2010s not considering UND, that's concerning and you gotta get the new head coach right in order to get the program back to the top quickly.

You think Detroit gives him an ELC this year, they tell him to go back to UND, or even tell him to go to the portal to find somewhere better? Yzerman/Draper might not think he's ready for the A yet, Grand Rapids already pretty deep up front.
