We do have a long way to go, but this is one year where “it’s a long season” probably won’t apply, as I would anticipate a few games getting postponed. Hopefully with UND’s experience they start off strong so they don’t find themselves behind the eight ball, thinking they can have a second half run. There might not be a so called second half if there are too many cancellations and such. Perception of a team might come into play now more than ever, so let’s keep that perception right where it is at today!

You seem to be inspiring the Iron Rangers, as Mattson scored for Michigan State tonight.

Wasn't Atlanta a softy?

Just like their sports teams, Minnesotans enjoy being dominated!

Jack Adams from Union would be a good get.

Really all we need to do is to keep our Pod healthy because history shows the NCHC was going to win the title anyway, so maybe the other teams figure why have a season anyway.

Constantini is tied for the BCHL scoring lead.

Tyler Dunbar named 1st star with a hat trick in Muskegon’s 10-8 win against Chicago. Jackson Blake with a goal and an assist for Chicago. Kunz, Schmaltz, and Bast also with goals in their respective games.

John Chenal got a few carries for Wisconsin in cleanup time against Michigan. Would have been nice to see him in a UND uniform.

With those and the added cushion of the hair, we should significantly reduce the risk of concussion.

Getting consistency out of a bunch of freshmen you are counting on is tough, but if you happen to be the team they go off on, you could be out of the tournament in a flash. I think Michigan has a few guys that stayed that make them dangerous. At tournament time you have to be cautious of a Holy Cross or an AIC, don’t know why you wouldn’t have some level of anxiety playing a team with numerous potential first rounders.

Jackson Kunz was 1st star with 2 goals in Green Bay’s 4-2 win against Muskegon.

Wonder if the Big Ten is already on top of it, being that they created a scheduling agreement with Arizona State for this year. Who knows if that is just to fill out their schedules, but I would think there would be mutual interest. There may be other Big Ten members thinking about taking up hockey though.

Let’s see, you’ve just seen how things you did when you are young can follow you, and you choose to put something out there that could come back to haunt you as well. Where are the adults in all of this? I chose not to question parenting at first because sometimes you can preach right and wrong and still end up with a bad apple, but everything that has come out since speaks volumes.

...and don’t forget the lack of coverage about the hockey team’s Covid issues. Just like when he came late to the game on coverage of Women’s hockey, he sure has written a lot about this lately even though it was known since he was recruited, although some of the details were sketchy.

I certainly don't like the appearance of it because it seems to validate that whoever screams loudest controls the narrative, but truthfully he probably did Berry a favor. He won't be answering questions this whole year, and it doesn't give opponents the ammunition to negatively recruit against us from that standpoint.

With Kiersted, JBD and Rieger possibly leaving and Luke Bast and Morrow coming in, there could be room for Gabe to stay. Do you keep a character guy like Rieger? It would be hard to say you can't stay to guys that have given their all for the program, but this situation has muddled things.

No, but I'm sure they will be looking for a stud defenseman with a lot of experience in the transfer portal for next year, with all they stand to lose after this year.

They could have crappy attorneys and it wouldn't matter. Judges will come down on the side of political correctness most of the time.

...and the Coyotes said he can still pursue a hockey career. It is just a speech to try and make UND look better for backing out of a commitment. So if he is such a horrible person, why would you want him floating about campus looking for more people to prey on?

That's true, the focus would have hurt the ability for the team to talk to the media without having to answer questions all the time.

If he did, would you believe him. If he tried to refute something people would say he isn’t taking responsibility and making excuses. Darned if you do, darned if you don’t. Probably right now he should keep his mouth shut and stay off social media and put his head down and live up to any confidence anyone has put in him.

Seriously? Did they fire anybody? That is the way the cancel culture works.

Not so sure about this, with 10 teams saying they had him off their list, and I would bet that the victims mom will be more proactive in denying him a chance to play pro hockey.
