    Want 2 or 4 lower level tickets to Manitoba game. Want to take my 8 year old and maybe a couple of his buddies. Please text me 218-791-9656

    I have 2 tickets in Section 105 Row K, but I texted that number and the person said it was the wrong number. Text or call me at (701) 371-0195.

    The Bears beat the Niners in week 1 last year.  Bears ended up winning only 2 more games all year and the Niners were in the NFC Championship game.  Just sayin!

    Apples to oranges comparison. The Bears were at home playing in a monsoon and Lance was the starting QB for the 49ers. The Lions finished the year 8-2, including a pasting of the suddenly revitalized Jaguars, and just beat the defending Super Bowl champions in their stadium on opening night. Unlike the Bears, the Lions have already proven they are a good team.

    No disrespect to Carter Murphy but I don't feel like a 5'6 prospect is a high-end prospect atm. 

     

    His dad was also short, but stocky. Did you ever see his dad Curtis Murphy play? If his son is anything like Curtis Murphy, he will be outstanding. Curtis Murphy is one of the best defenseman to ever play at UND. He was also a great AHL player, but didn't get much of an opportunity in the old NHL where size was considered a must.

    Benn's statement in three words? Load. Of. Hokum.

    Watch for yourself.
    It's the first 10 seconds here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urZghaQzdXg 

    Benn is on both blades, full control for 5-10 feet after Stone is on the ice. He looks down, and sticks the intentional landing. 

    Benn's been post-season-naughty twice before with only fines.
    This is strike three and fines haven't delivered the message. 
    I suspect it's ... 

     

    Benn also ended Dylan Larkin's season 2 years ago from a cross-check to the neck. He's a dirty player.

    All three have incredible upside offensively, but haven't shown enough steadiness defensively. Picking upside out of the portal is smart to do, especially if they feel like they have enough defense to cover the risk. Low risk, high reward. Particularly with guys like Moore and Johnson.

    I would add that Moore was very good the previous year, and wasn't as bad this year as some would have you believe--he became the scapegoat for everyone, despite the fact that forwards also need to defend, and goalies need to make routine stops. Moore is very good at breaking out the puck and very good offensively. Johnson is also very talented, especially offensively, but ended up in the coaches' doghouse for reasons that are not entirely clear. I like Bast, but I don't view him as a big loss.

    Seattle came close to dumping him back in December too

    I would like to know your source for that claim. Seattle was 18-12-4 at the end of December, which is a pretty good record and a significant improvement from their inagural year as an expansion team.

    Schloss sees some serious minute eaters (Pyke, Pehrson). That leaves four slots.
    Figure Zmolek is one. That leaves three. 
    Based on age and accolades, Wiebe. Now two for Benoit, Livanavage, and Komzak. (And that's just seven D.) 

    Strathmann creates a log jam for minutes.
    If he's talking a USHL season to focus on defense and come in 2024, yes please. 

    I agree as long as what he is saying is accurate. I recall that Rizzo initially said he was okay waiting another year, but then waited another year, decommitted and went to Denver. Morrow didn't like the coaches telling him to play a year in the USHL and neither did Stephen Halliday. As long as Strathmann is okay with it and it is his decision, it makes sense. I just really don't like losing high end recruits.

    Then if we can’t beat them it’s on us. However it hurts us in the pairwise is on us. We are who we are. 

    Why take that chance against a team that tries to win a game with a race to 2 goals? We have nothing to gain by playing them. No one has disputed my contention that playing Bemidji is like watching paint dry. I'm not saying playing them every now and again, but why every year?

    For historical context, Bemidji's pairwise last year was 29. It was good the 2 years before that (10 and 12), but if you go deeper they were 35 in 2018-19, 31 in 2017-18, 29 in 2016-17 and 32 in 2015-16. They are typically going to be between 29 and 35.

    Bemidji is not a Pairwise killer. A PWR killer is losing twice to the team ranked dead last. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bemidji ranked in the bottom half of the PWR in recent years. They’re always in the 20s or lurking around there. 

    Bemidji was 34 this year in the pairwise.

    It's not exactly Whitney bull crap I it's I the rules...don't care what the rules are...you need to play with in them

    I disagree. It was a good hit and the ref reacted to the fact that he slid into the boards. Some of you have such a dislike for Cooper Moore that you have no objectivity and hope he fails so it advances your narrative

    Or, on the rare occasion, an opportunity that is too good to pass up.  

    Playing devil's advocate, UND has benefited from the portal. Westin Michaud, Connor Ford and Chris Jandric were very good and very necessary additions. Calder, Sidorski and Farmer have not been bad, and neither were Driscoll and DeRidder. Other schools have also done very well through the portal, and SCSU's pickup of Anhorn comes to mind. I don't think the portal is necessarily a bad thing, even though I don't like what has happened to Brent Johnson and some others.

    If you’re looking at those stats, you should factor in how many of those above Michigan numbers were before UND even had a program going. All of Michigan’s stats are inflated due to their early success when the number of programs competing were very small. 
    If we’re comparing these two programs over the last 10/20/30/40 years, I’d take UND every time. 

    This is spot on. The argument for Michigan is similar to the argument that Minnesota actually has more titles because it won titles before the NCAA was created (and before UND was a hockey program). That is the definition of cherry picking.

    Seems to me that UND's fate may depend on whether Omaha is good or not.  UND played them five times over the last two weeks, and if they're good, then UND is up to speed with playing good teams.  If they actually kind of stink, then UND is in for a rude awakening playing good teams this weekend.

    Omaha is not a bad team. They took 3 out of 4 from Western Michigan and Duluth, split with Denver in Denver, and split with St. Cloud and Alaska at home. They lost 2 early 1 goal games to Niagara at home early and went 1-2-1 against CC, or they might be in the tournament.

    Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard. Moore plays for Moore. That’s why he rides the pine pony during playoff hockey

    I'm not sure why we don't promote you to head coach with your hockey knowledge
