Agreed. No. 10 Max Plante was arguably the best player on the ice for stretches of this weekend. He is very talented.

Just 2 weeks ago, Duluth beat and tied ASU. They also split with DU in late January and swept SCSU earlier. I don't think you can compare UMD to Miami. UMD is also better than SCSU. To be fair, UMD is WAY better than Miami. UMD has some really good young players, they are just young.

No. We have had many very good portal players--Cameron Berg, Chris Jandric, Bennett Zmolek, Connor Ford. Even Logan Britt, Keaton Pehrson and Ty Farmer were not bad. Goalies have been a bit more hit and miss, but Zach Driscoll was good the 2nd 1/2 of his season at UND, DeRidder was okay, and Semptimphelter is good. Ludvig Persson not so much.

Who are you referring to that he dumped? A lot of really good programs have brought in portal players. Western Michigan brought in Costanini from UND, Brian Kramer from AIU, Robby Drazner from Miami, Cam Rowe from Wisconsin, Grant Slukynsky from Northern Michigan, and got Alex Bump and Hampton Slukynsky to change commitments. DU got Pohlkamp, last year got Tristan Broz and a few years ago got Cameron Wright from BGU. ASU has had many portal players, and they are really good because of it. The list goes on and on.

Then you should be a DU fan. Your obsession with Scott Sandelin and UMD has to be something else as it borders on creepy.

We know that you don't like Berry (and perhaps justifiably) but you should least back up your arguments with facts. UND did beat DU 3 of 4 last season, with DU's only win being in OT for 2 points out of 12. I know that DU had the last laugh by winning the National Championship, but to say that Carle owns Berry is not accurate.

I agree completely. I can't even sell tickets to BSU games for face value if I can't go. It is brutal hockey to watch. Replace BSU and Manitoba.

No, Schlossman is absolutely correct. The NCHC has not been good this year in non-conference games, including UND. UND hurt itself by losing and tying Bemidji State and getting swept by Cornell, but the rest of the NCHC hurt everyone else by not winning non-conference games as well. So you're right that UND hurt itself, but Schlossman is absolutely correct that the whole league hurt the Pairwise for every team in the NCHC based upon the non-conference record. The league is down this year except for a few teams--DU, Western Michigan and ASU.

Wearing shorts to a hockey game is impressive

Yes. He also went after Jason Gregoire (checked him from behind) and kneed Chay Genoway. He was suspended for 1 game by the WCHA. He was dirty, but really wasn't that tough. Kaip tossed him around like a wet rag.

Trevor Bruess, yes. He was a goon that would cheap shot UND's better players. I think Pat O'Leary may also have had a go against him.

Beat me to it. I don't understand why anyone would post speculation like this on a message board read by players, coaches and family.

I don't understand the premise. Who said that a fan does not criticize the coach? Was it Berry?

I still have 2 lower bowl tickets for sale for Friday (tonight) in Section 105, Row K. Great seats and are behind the goal where UND shoots twice. $30 apiece/$60 for pair. Text at (701) 371-0195.

I have known Pat Johnson for many years. Played fast pitch softball with him and against him, and also racquetball. I like Pat and he is a really good coach.
