If you pay for espn+ for the 6 months that hockey is on, you pay $70. If you pay for NCHC tv for the season, it’s over $100.

You should’ve watched the frozen four and heard Buccigross. Heinert is an elite play by play. Never undersells a goal, no matter which team. Brings energy. The only time the stories get carried away are when Fabian joins him. He’s awful and has told stories over top of goals
-
No chance UND gets him. It’s been reported that Canadians can get a special visa for “extraordinary athletic ability” to receive NIL. I’m betting McKenna will receive that and a lump sum of money that Mr Bonzer’s can’t afford.
-
Herter probably isn’t coming here
-
Omaha has the 3rd nicest arena in the conference but maybe one of the worst broadcasts. It’s a joke.
-
If they bring in a D, it won’t be anybody flashy, just an extra body who shoots right and is more experienced than Komzak from a Sacred Heart or something. Schlossman says it’s likely Schultz, O’Neill, and Simpson all go back to juniors next year so I’d imagine they add 3 more guys from the CHL max, and 2 portal forwards, preferably centers. As it stands, they need to fill 5 spots up front
-
Defense is going to carry this team
-
I’m not saying they’re repeating as champs, just saying they’re still gonna be a good team.
-
They return 7 of their top 9 point scorers. And 3 of their top 4 D. Plus an elite starting goalie. They’re gonna be damn good with the additions from the portal they’ve already gotten
-
Washe is gone. But for now they return Valente - 33 points Michaels - 36 points Slukynsky - 36 points Nehring - 30 points Hakkarainen - 29 Sjolund - 29 Vaisanen - 26 And they have added Whitelaw, Wisdom, and Bookman from the portal
-
Western Michigan is going to be loaded again plus Slukynsky in net.
-
They can pay Carle 700k but can’t afford some nice cameras that aren’t from the early 2000s. Weird.
-
Every team in the conference should be required to have the same level of cameras as UND. Denver is a joke.
-
Could see that. Already going into his D+2 year next season and hasn’t done much for Tri-City
-
Seems like just Bumgarner for now
-
They also waited until USHL regular seasons were over, and the AHL and NHL were in their final week. Posting closes next Monday when regular seasons will be over. So I don’t think it automatically means Herter.
-
Gotta be someone to coach the forwards or goalies. Nick Fohr fits the build

2 defensive minded assistants would be odd -
You don’t know puck if you think Jackson Blake is bad at defending. There’s no way he would be playing a full NHL season for the coach who demands two way play or you don’t play, especially hard on young players.
-
True. Schlossman’s just mentioned him as a maybe so that’s why I bring him up. Also could find a depth guy in the portal, preferably right shot
-
I think they bring in Zellers, Klee, Zakreski, Schultz + 1-2 more CHL guys up front. + 2-3 transfers. Probably just Laurila on the back end but maybe Lindberg if they want extra depth with Zmolek’s injury history
-
He’s going to play a year in the USHL like Blake and Zellers did

Yes, I was responding to someone arguing that Nick Schmaltz was a very good player and was a pass first guy. but even he shot it way more than Swanson. It was rare that Swanson was even looking at the net when he had the puck in the O zone.
