Let’s not forget, it took a dumb penalty by Kunz for Western to beat us on a power play goal in overtime in the first game. The second game was just a disaster.

We need to get enough points to get ahead of Omaha this weekend. Hopefully Arizona State doesn’t have a letdown when the Penrose is pretty much out of reach for them.

And TJ haters have been pretty quiet lately too. To win championships, you need to be consistent.

Do you think people would be mad at UND using the portal in that circumstance?

Who are you trying to kid!

Heard the reason Berry hasn’t had any recruits lately, is because he needs the room to get all three Plante brothers to transfer or flip.😉

Alex is a good announcer but he won’t offer any criticism like Brandt would. He was gushing over Jamernik as a leader. He hasn’t come close to reaching the level he was at 2 years ago.

CC beats St. Cloud, then the same guys start yapping at the horn. Someone needs to take Veremyev to the woodshed.

Did split with Denver, and outplayed Arizona State last weekend, and really for much of their games with them.

So, tell me why didn’t a Robert Morris or Canisius pick up Singelton instead of Tennessee State? You can make that argument on a few guys but the vast majority aren’t getting a ton of interest to the big schools. I am not happy with the state of the program right now, but disagreeing with Berry for the sake of disagreeing doesn’t help things moving forward. Like I said, people don’t like the portal then complain when we don’t get a Pohlkamp. People say Berry doesn’t keep his lines together to grow together, then complain this guy or that guy should be moved to another line. We are saying to spread information from people who admit that they aren’t in the know. If Berry was your friend or relative would you want them to be judged on fact rather than innuendo? If a lot of the information we are hearing is true, Berry should have to answer why things have become so disjointed. Losing any stars, whether NIL is involved would be a huge red flag.

So you are good with Bowden Singelton, type guys who didn't pan out? Just about every team moves on from guys that haven't developed in juniors.

Yes, rather than focusing on something you can't change, why not be doing what the announcer always says, and actually play "Old Time Fighting Sioux Hockey"!

Still waiting to see how it plays out with him. Wondering if the "gender inclusion" policy he tried to enact a few years ago was his idea or pushed on him. I guess to his credit, when he got a ton of pushback, he changed course.

Reminds me of another Grand Forks player in Judd Caulfield.

I think you can adapt just like teams like Minnesota State have done. 25 year old Canadians may be more of the norm for those that don't have the money to keep up. I think you can be competitive with older players that are willing to get to the hard areas, unlike some of the more talented younger guys.

With all the talk going around, I am just as concerned if not more so if they will be available next year!

Is it a boner, if you can't tell it's a boner? You know what they say about compensation!

Wouldn’t it be something if fans get so fed up with the pay for play, that they start chanting overrated to an underperforming NIL player on their own team.

gfhockey has a ton of swagger with other people's talents!

Just wondering from people that go to the Denver games at Magness what the UND contingent of fans was like compared to other years?

It will take one incident where someone cracks their head on the ice, and the whole fighting thing will be in the news outside of the hockey world and things will probably take a different direction from there. It looked like Sam Bennett was going to hit the ice like that, but thankfully he didn't. I am actually surprised we haven't seen an incident like this already, because you are in such a vulnerable position when you are being wrestled to the ice. Surprised we haven't seen an incident with a fractured eye socket or something either.

Hopefully the American fans don't follow suit and boo the Canadian National Anthem. Let's be a little more classy.

Yes, a good year, but not spectacular. 51st in the league in points per game. For somebody who thought that he should come in to UND at an early age, you would think that as one of the older players in the USHL he would be top ten in that statistic. I think he would be a good addition as a reliable two way player that can take faceoffs, but if some are against portal players, why pick up someone who isn't extraordinary, especially if it is pushing off another player in the current pipeline that could be ready. If the people in the know are correct and we lose 6 players to the portal, then something like that could be a necessity.

Yeah, I didn't see Denver turning down Pohlkamp. Most people on this site were twisting in the wind hoping we would get Pohlkamp. Maybe we should go back and look at those who were part of that crowd that are now saying we shouldn't use the portal.
