Who has a stream? Thanks.

College hockey has more parity than ever. The reason Michigan State is at the top this year is because their young players are now juniors. A veteran team usually wins the Natty, not just a team w/ freshman or sophomore studs. Also, Berry crapped the bed last off-season in the portal. Besides Wilkie, def. needed an extra forward. Bringing in a late recruit of Dalton Andrew was not what the team needed, no disrespect to Dalton. He may develop and earn some time someday. Hindsight is 20/20 but had UND not had some injuries and beat Michigan last year, I bet they would have made the frozen four and then who knows. This team this year reminds me of Collin Adams, Grant Mishmash sophomore season. Team was garbage.

Even if this team still had Blake, they’d be raw. Team is missing the juice and grit. Lost defenseman from last year that were experienced and would make a hit. On the forward side, you had Johannes who brought energy and grit. This team doesn’t have it. Decent freshman class. Need a goalie to step up for next year. Need to find some studs (portal, canada leagues) to play with Sacha next year. This year is over. I believe Western Michigan replaced more than us and have been a surprise. Arizona had a few transfers. Berry’s worst year in the transfer portal imo too.

Team is missing a top line and an ideal line that bangs and is tough to play against and posses the puck. Teams in the past had that.

Why is Jake Scmhaltz on the PP? C’mon.

You guys brain dead? Shane Pinto and he was Team USA’s leading goal scorer a few years back or close to it Quit complaining.

That org has a huge youth development issue too. If I’m Emery I enjoy my development time as long as possible at UND. He’s a good player no need to rush him to the NHL.

College players game imo seems more well rounded plus USA’s high end talent continues to evolve in the last decade+. I’d take Macklin Celebrini’s style and two way game over Conor Bedard any day. Kudos for Macklin playing 1 year of college puck. In add. I didn’t see a better defenseman on Canada’s team better than Biuum tonight, not even close. Wild got a great pick there. Cole Hutson has had a great tournament so far. Offensively gifted, Zeev has higher IQ and more tenacity plus better defensively too.

Some solid Little Caesars played in the 16 age tournament (forgot what it was called) I believe in Fargo last year. I’d be shocked if UND coaches aren’t aware of some kids currently on the Little Caesars team. Also, Ryan Kesler is a prick off ice too That is all.

Pretty crazy he didn’t get a sniff as a first round draft pick and also having an excellent first half of college hockey against physical mature and stronger young adults.

This a blue chippa?

Next year: UND has to be careful on forwards that enter the transfer portal and what conference they’re coming from. Like Wilkie’s game. 5 pts. in the first half is about as low as you could have predicted…ouch! He did score this weekend. Hopefully, he can build off that for the 2nd half. Wts., UND loses a lot of sandpaper w/ Jammer, Kunz, Berg being gone. Why UND needs to do a better job on finding forwards (development wise) or portal. Defense, UND should be fine Imagine how good UND’s D-core could be this year w/ a healthy Zmolek? It’s a pretty young D-core. Zellers should be good next year and the Fargo Force D-man from Moorhead. Not sure who else is coming in next year… I highly doubt (never say never) UND sways any top Canadian Junior player to come to campus BUT hopefully they can find some overager forwards w/ skill and grit Teams gonna need it next year.

No time to waste. BU, Michigan making moves. If you’re not first, you’re last.

McDonald might be back in the lineup, no?

Kunz is on pace for double digit goals. I’d say he’s trending his anticipated projection tbh.

What leadership? All the veterans are injured.

Where’s the pride?

So TJ warranted to start over Hobie? What has TJ shown? Not trying to rip a goalie with an injured back end, but 3 goals per game (like I said) isn’t going to cut it. UND is not going to win many games if they’re giving up 3 goals per game.

If healthy, UND could compete and potentially beat Denver. What concerns me the most lately at UND is the following: O Mac = O goals Wilkie = 1 Goal TJ S. = Not his fault, but is letting in 3 goals per game against good competition. UND isn’t going to score 4+ goals to win these games. Lack of continued production from USHL to college. I understand it’s a big jump but our USHL studs, minus Jackson Blake, are not developing enough (production wise) at UND. Sasha, Mac S (skating is a hurting at this level) are on a decent trajectory, would be nice to get a few more goals… Transfer portal - depending on it way too much annually for goalies and D-man. Have to do better recruiting, no reason you can’t find a goalie or D-‘man. Tons of players and parity, most blue chippers are forwards coming into college hockey minus Sanderson, Makar etc. over the last few years. Zeev Buium is really good but I don’t think most scouts had him putting up 50 points as freshman. Could say, UND’s Jake L. no one expected him to dominate points wise last year like he did.

Buy out Bubba, give him a job in the alumni association. Time for a change. It’s time.

Denver has fish bowls. This year and last. Natty champs.

Denver looks great. Second youngest team in the country. Too many penalties for UND. UND not great on face-offs. UND NOT great on battles/puck protection

Not that I expected the team to win a Natty, but if Berg is out long term, there goes the season. Team doesn’t have enough veteran punch with him out of the lineup.

When is O Mac gonna get off the goose egg? Can’t have him go with no goals in the first half of the szn. Scoring has been spread out but this guy needs to get a few goals to get the monkey off his back. This is like his freshman year on repeat.

Tonight’s game is on nchc.tv per twitter post?
