I think they rebound to upper half of the league with James and Spicer coming back, along with Zam and Max Plante and Shaugabay, although I expect the latter will need an adjustment period, especially if he isn’t paired with finishers. They also have a high end defenseman in Kleber, and a highly touted goaltender in Gajan coming in.

But they do have a fan that looks like Joe Dirt!

He could be the man forever if he came back and put us ahead of both Denver and Michigan in Championships and give us our first back to back.

Thanks to getting swept by Omaha, now Omaha fans will scoop up all the regional tickets.

So who is the third homer in the booth on the St. Cloud broadcast?

Yes, they would have saved time if only they would have listened to the ultra-homer announcer. Lol.

Yeah, how do you not even that up, as Bremer got way more back than the brushing of the goalie.

Regardless of which team brings up the rear in the NCHC, UND fans will not understand how we could lose to the last place team. How many times have we heard how we could lose to Omaha this year and years past.

Sounds to me like a bunch of excuses that shouldn’t be happening now. I can see getting embarrassed consistently in your first year when the program was in transition, but to be this uncompetitive with someone like Borowicz on your team means you have failed miserably to surround her with talent and determination, or you can’t get them to buy into your systems. The fact that the assistants become the scapegoats and she is left uttering excuses instead of taking responsibility doesn’t give me confidence the program is moving in the right direction.

I would argue that we played better against Omaha but didn’t get the goaltending we got when we played Western. Western took it to us at home. I worry much more about Western’s offense, although both teams can have a goaltender that can play great.

Veremyev for CC sure is a bit of a punk. He definitely likes to push buttons like he did against UND. I’m sure he’ll get the other end of it too though.

Did the Miami player get a game misconduct for the kneeing? I would argue that was a more deliberate play than Wiebe’s hit.

Then we’ll expect to see Jace committing to a major program soon?

Traffic, yes! Never have I had to wait for a second light more often.

Maybe he is a possibility, as he has played against top USHL competition quite a bit more.

Is Lincoln Kuehne eligible in August to commit, or was he already eligible?

Jaksen had 18 goals 10 assists in 22 games his freshman season with EGF, while Jace had 4 goals and 13 assists in 31 games. I know it isn't apples to apples, but those numbers are quite different.

As Schlossman said before, many players advisors are already getting a feel for who are interested in their “client”, so who knows what is out there, perhaps a Tanner Ludtke. Seriously doubt that with his brother at Omaha and where do you make power play room for someone like that with McLaughlin, Perron, Berg, Blake, Kunz, Swanson and Boisvert? Of course you make room, but more likely a rough and tumble guy like Johannes or Jamernik could be a need.

Yeah, heaven forbid we replace him with another Cameron Berg, or a Hunter Johannes type. We need a good mix of size, speed, grit and determination, and if the coaches think we are missing an element to being a championship team, I don’t mind them going out to get a missing component. Feel bad for Panzer if that is the case, as his dad expressed his dismay with the portal, but like it or not, it will play some part in team makeup.

Especially in all the close games we have had that went to overtime. Sometimes the correct play is dumping it in. In fact in those late game situations it absolutely should be a viable option. I get that line doesn't have the guys always to dig the puck back out of the corner, but making the opposition go 200 feet near the end of regulation isn't necessarily a bad thing either.

Isn’t that ludicrous?

Not to me. What is the story? I assume the baggage is the reason that he has played for several teams?

An unofficial visit of course.

Are you saying they would have lost the point they got getting to overtime?
