So you're saying the state of Minnesota hasn't had issues with widespread variants?

It is just curious to me that all that states that had the lockdown mentality from the outset seem to be suffering setback after setback with Covid.

The day of? How do you tell the people traveling to get to Fargo that they missed the game?

Get that 2nd goal Bemidji before they can get to the locker room and reset!

Looks like they did move the BU/St. Cloud game to the afternoon.

I would hope they move the BU/St.Cloud game to the afternoon so they have more time to rest to take on a rested BC team. If not, that is a joke.

I see Garrett Worth is in the transfer portal with one assist in eight games with Long Island University. I remember some were pretty high on UND taking a shot at him out of Duluth East, but doesn't appear to have been able to make the adjustment to another level. Just goes to show putting up major numbers in high school hockey doesn't always translate to the next level. Grant Slukynsky put up huge numbers at Warroad but has struggled in the USHL as well. I thought he would have put up good numbers. Coaches have a tough job weeding out which talent and skills will translate to the next level and which won't.

So it sounds like UND has nothing to offer. We seem to get players from all over in hockey and some of them stay even after they get great offers to play pro hockey. I don’t buy that location is the biggest problem.

I think the pressing question—are face masks required?

Ouch! I was thinking Casey Gilling would be a good pick up, but judging by those comments, maybe he doesn't have the right stuff to play for UND.

Exactly. Guys see the chance to possibly play in the Big Dance and figure they can find an easier way to get there. It isn’t really a great situation for the smaller programs or ones that aren’t competitive. At some point it might hurt the overall fanbase for college basketball, and other sports as well. Help develop a player and lose him or her to a better program.

I was kind of surprised we didn’t pick him up after his decommit from Wisconsin.

Omaha needs to find some discipline if they want to beat Minnesota.

Bemidji definitely has a chance, especially if they can score first. Wisconsin had a bunch of guys out with Covid protocol and Holloway at World Junior camp when they played Arizona State.

Mankato was playing well going in plenty of times and flamed out, so maybe this is their year to do something when they aren’t predicted to move on.

Notre Dame is a similar team with how they play, and Wisconsin played well against them.

Dylan Holloway is a pretty big boy, with tons of skill.

So, having a team in your region that was a borderline #1 seed is a cakewalk?

So you won’t be competing with Alabama this year. Lol.

They call attention to a possible pass interference on us when the game isn’t in doubt, but nothing on several non calls on the Bison throughout the game. Embarrassing!

Par for the course, now our punter booms one!

Is this a UND hockey thread. I mean the overreaction is so unbelievable. We probably weren’t as good as some were making us out to be, and not as bad as we have been today.

Agree, it is there if they could execute.

Really, we need to be humbled but haven’t won anything, and the Bison have won everything for a decade and they don’t let up. This was an opportunity to turn the tide in recruiting and confidence, and UND doesn’t appear to have an answer. Hopefully we get another shot this year to do that.

While it isn’t the half we wanted, I wouldn’t have any aversion to playing the Bison again. In fact, if we can get something on the opening drive in the second half, and get aggressive on defense, this thing isn’t over.
