Interesting you get a downvote for the facts.

Weren’t people concerned about losing Schultz last year when he was deferred? You wonder if those on their last year of junior eligibility think about whether they might just get ditched the following year if a CHL becomes available. I could see a Duluth offering Pilgrim if UND defers him another year. Guess that’s where the coaches and Brynn are in constant communication with people in the pipeline.

But they also have Pilgrim, B.Schultz, Simpson, A. Shultz, Williams, and ONeill in the pipeline, and who knows if they have another CHL guy or two in the back of their minds. If you push off any of the players, are they going to find a new home? I am assuming Carter Sanderson will play another year of juniors.

Is he looking to get eligible by the second semester? What does joining mid season do to team chemistry? BU and BC probably don’t care and will fit him in regardless.

Hopefully the players don’t take that attitude, because a college student doesn’t have the history behind losses to teams that should never have happened. Shouldn’t lose to them, but stranger things have happened.

I get that numbers aren’t the only picture, but you are correct, that you would think a veteran would be putting up some offense. Perhaps they should have looked at flipping Tyden Bergeson, who is doing quite well with Madison, and would fit well with the other Moorhead boys.

I think it would be awesome if Verhoeff is drafted by Calgary and that he and Reschny both stay 2 years at UND, win a Championship or 2, then make the jump together. A guy can hope anyway.

Just so impressed with Reschny’s maturity. Most young guys drafted so high would be concerned about the numbers they are putting up, but he just consistently is doing the right things and is hugely noticeable for the right reasons. There are so many times where he could have been selfish and shot the puck more or tried to do too much. He reminds me a lot of Tyson Jost, not only because of his number and stature, but he is very mature and responsible. One can hope that, unlike Jost we can get two years out of him, although the way Calgary is going, they probably will want him ASAP. They may need a bigger building process anyway, so hopefully they see the wisdom in letting him develop and be a cornerstone rather than a guy that has moved around a bit like Jost. I am super excited about Reschny because he basically moved up the draft board last year because of his dominant play in the post season. Hopefully he has the chance with us to do the same. He is a gamer, and is just starting to be more comfortable and find his stride. His numbers so far don’t accurately portray his value to the team, but I think most of us can see the extent of his value.

Don’t mind playing the hot goalie when big games dictate, but I think the coaches know the team play in front of both goalies so far has not been apples to apples. Not saying Homer hasn’t had some issues, but the last time out against Duluth, the cross ice goals would be impossible for anyone. Cleaned that up the next night. Just like it isn’t always on the quarterback when the offense stinks, you need to take everything into account when deciding whether team play or individual performance is the problem.

He disappears almost as fast as gfhockey does when Duluth gets beat.

We’ll see if we can dispatch of Arizona State the way Penn State did though. One could argue that Arizona State is as good as anyone we have played up until now, but time will tell.

Let’s face it, if Duluth gets to overtime, it is a huge advantage for them.

It’s hard to take it seriously, when that is the best you can do for a college sport. This isn’t a pee wee hockey game.

This game has the same feel as the football game did, holding the lead for most of the game then letting it slip away. We’ll see if the hockey team can muster enough to prevent a terrible Saturday.

Can’t expect to sweep with that many turnovers and mistakes. Better clean that up, or we’ll be singing the “didn’t play a full sixty” in postgame comments. Not playing well in front of Homer again.
