Cannot take dumb penalties like that

Josephson to Emery!!!

Wiebe and Swanson have to communicate faster there

Christ that was embarassing

North Dakota objectively is far more skilled, just can't make dumb mistakes or they'll take advantage.

Rickwood and James kinda night like I said!!!!

The line change was worse IMHO

WTF WAS THAT LINE CHANGE???

Good to see KEM make an appearance at The Ralph!

Wonder if Boston College and Boston University are all in on Iginla. The Iginla family spent several years during and post playing career for Jarome.

Goalie Eli Winters (2009, NTDP, Muskegon MI) commits to Wisconsin

Rickwood and James kinda night, hopefully they have a big one

"Used to" LMFAO, who wrote that?

Sung could be a sophomore or junior, depending on the school district cut date in Pasadena California. Cut date varies district to district, region to region in the States. I love how Canada uses the federal birthyear system for their school year groupings (January 1-December 31), so thus all Canadian 2009s graduate HS in 2027

Sung is uncommitted

Hopefully you accounted for the fact that every late 2007 & every 2008 and 2009 born player in the Dub has not been eligible to be drafted yet

Dual citizen goaltender Brady Knowling (2008, NTDP, Toronto ON) commits to Boston University

All that means to me is more money is coming in on Minnesota ML, so FanDuel covering their tracks. North Dakota has to be a slight favorite in the public's eyes IMHO

Guessing he'll be back for that, agreed

If North Dakota wins the special teams battle, especially with the PP, this leans UND sweep. If it gets into a tight 5v5 rock fight, this will be an extremely close, classic rivalry series that would suggest split.

Hoping Strinden can hit the net this weekend. Or at least wind up for the one T or wrist shot & then pass to whoever is wide open for the open net look.

Their last 2 national championships don't happen without guys from North Dakota & Austria. Their best players on their 2023 National Runner-Up team were from Pennsylvania and Arizona. Interesting on how they've recruited multiple Canadian goalies over the past decade, but really haven't gone after Canadian forwards or defensemen.

Potter is a nomad, I don't fully associate him as a Minnesotan since he lived in Wisconsin, played minor hockey both in Wisconsin & Texas as well. Hensler seemed like he wanted to go elsewhere and they weren't close in on West. This is why you have to recruit from all over, not all of your backyard will want to stay home. This also isn't 1995 or 2005 where you had relatively limited access/knowledge of players from further away, there are almost no excuses for being present in all minor/HS/junior hockey rinks in the US & Canada now.

Typically more offensive skill north of the border. Of course it's nice to have higher end offensive skill from wherever (Zellers AND Reschny is very nice)
