I have 2 tickets for the entire regional in Section 103, Row G, seats 22-23. I paid $203.21 for the package, and I am just looking to get that back. Text me at (701) 371-0195.

Gretzky is not illiterate.

You are always smashed, but never believable. Are you Mark Kauk?

What is your basis for saying this? I have seen scholarship offers, and they are not limited to one year.

Crytic. It looks like "Carter Bear". Is he committing to UND?

I never said I was content with the state of the program, but you NEVER have anything positive to say. You make Debbie Downer seem like an optimist. If you are this unhappy, you really should find more hobbies.

You must be just a joy to hang around with. A raincloud looking for a parade.

Really? How do you explain Western Michigan and their use of portal transfers or decommitments? The leading scorer is Alex Bump, who decommitted from Vermont, Grant Slukynsky who is a portal transfer from Northern Michigan, his brother Hampton (G) who decommitted from Northern Michigan, Matteo Costantini who is a portal transfer from UND, Brian Kramer who is a portal transfer from AIU, Robby Drazner who is a portal transfer from Miami, Cameron Rowe (G) who is a portal transfer from Wisconsin and Tristan Lemyre who is a portal transfer from DU? Has WMU leaned too heavily on portal transfers? How about Michigan State and their leading scorer, Will Howard (UMD)? How about Denver and Pohlkamp, Tristan Broz or Cameron Wright? You also fail to mention that UND has had some very good players who came via the transfer portal. How would UND have been without Connor Ford, Caleb McDonald, Garrett Pyke, Bennett Zmolek, Chris Jandric and even Zach Driscoll and TJ? Many programs have benefitted from the transfer portal, and it is not limited to hockey. Jahmyr Gibbs came to Alabama from Georgia Tech, etc.

I agree, and the Wings typically don't push recruits to sign early. They did sign Tuomisto and Carter Mazur early, but the Wings don't bring up guys from the AHL early (or sometimes at all), so why jump early just to sit in the AHL for more years?

I disagree. I'm from Grand Forks and have a lot of pride for Grand Forks, but even if you combined the high schools, Grand Forks very rarely produces top Division 1 talent like Moorhead--GFRR and Central do not have a player nearly as good as Mason Kraft, let alone Brooks Cullen. Historically, Moorhead has had better players as well. Ryan Kraft, Chris Vandevelde, Brian Lee, John Lee, Matt Cullen, Mark Cullen, Joe Cullen, Jason Blake, Will Borgen, Ethan Frisch, etc. Grand Forks has had some really good players as well with Grant and Ryan Potulny, Jeff and Jay Panzer, Paul LaDue and many others, but Moorhead constantly produces D1 talent and quite a few pros. Moorhead would win the majority of the games with a combined GFHS team.

That game against Moorhead was in EGF. EGF would have no answer for Mason Kraft. He has gotten better throughout the year. Moorhead also has better players and more depth. It would not be that close if they played now.

I assume this isn't a serious question?? Moorhead would destroy EGF.

You missed UMD, which will probably be 7 and Clowns 8. Otherwise, I agree with your predictions.

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.
