There a link/video of the highlights anywhere from last nights game?

How does Mike LaMoine not get coach of the year?! Gave it to Grant @ central. Wow! I would assume next year RR is your favorite by looking at their current roster. Again, kudos to Mike LaMoine! If Ryan Ladoucer was RR's coach this year, they're probably not state champions. Just staying, not hating on Ryan L.

For JT maybe there’s more behind the scenes or attitude? Who knows. He’s a work in progress managing his emotions to stay even kill. Be dumb to explore elsewhere. He’ll get loads of playing time next year and his senior year. Facing some some adversity. Let’s see how he rebounds.

Pinto “shouldn’t” go anywhere after this year. Should play one more year. Yes, he’s that good and could move on. Ottawa isn’t going to be that much better next year though. Might as well enjoy college and develop for another year, compete for a national championship. Don’t see him leaving, but I’m not him nor his advisors. This current team will lose some role players in Smith and Peski...WM and Poolman will be a tough loss. JBD and Mk are probably gone, (granted, maybe one stays, doubtful, though). With that said, next years team is gonna be damn good too! UND fans need to enjoy this year and next. Hopefully can get 1 Natty during that stretch. Some tremendous D players coming in. And if you look in the USHL for overall goals scored currently, that leader is a UND recruit coming in next year. Hopefully, that player has a better transition to college scoring than Collin Adams. Took Adams this year to really find himself. Who are the possible forwards coming in next year, again?

Sounds like a coin flip for sure. RR will have to win with defense. Should help that they didn’t play 3OTs like South. That will help RR despite South playing on adrenaline to be in the ship. They’ll be a little tired, no question and it will be a factor. Looks like RR gave up 12 shots in the EDC championship game? If they repeat that defensive game tonight, how can they not win? If you can score 2 goals and limit a team to 12 shots etc. you “should” win, granted your team doesn’t have a poor goalie performance and let in a few bad goals with bad bounces etc.

Anyone have video of the scrum from last night? I would love to see.

Mike LaMoine with what seems like a decent coaching job this year for Rid River. They just won EDC. I know they had some parents and coaching controversy last year. Didn't a young Montgomery and some other Red River player decide to play elsewhere this year? Seems like RR isn't too bad. Kudos, to Mike!

Watch all four East Region Boys Tournament Games by going to www.knoxradio.com. Click on the Sports Tab at the top of the Home Page. Then you will see two links:KNOX TV 1KNOX TV 2One station will carry both games held in Fargo, ND at the Farmer's Union Ins. ArenaOne station will carry both games held in Grand Forks, ND at the Purpur Arena.Fargo games are at 5:15 and 7:30 pm. Grand Forks Games are at 4:30 and 7:00 pm

So just to confirm, game is on CBS only tonight and not NCHC TV, correct?

This thread should have more comments. Toronto and Oilers game was insane. NHL is the best to watch!

I have interest as long as it's not Minnesota too.

Interesting. Wonder if he stays through with that Northern Michigan verbal. I’m not condoning UND to poach him. But as we no, players get better and develop and bigger schools will come in and still have that conversation with the kid.

Hain needs a goal or two tonight.

Nice to see Mismash score, JK continue his run and stay hot as well as Adams continue his play. Hopefully, Hain scores tomorrow. Would love to see him start getting a few goals and get that trend going. Anyone in attendance, how’d you asses Bast’s play against a college hockey team again?

Pinto had a really good World Juniors despite the loss today to Finland. Had more points in the WJC than Brock B. did I believe. Future looks bright for him and his NHL career. Might not score as much as Brock in the NHL (he could) but see him as a potential very good Patrice Bergeron type player. Has more speed than P. Bergeron and Brock too. UND is lucky to have Pinto. Looking forward to watching him at UND for at least one more year. 3 if UND is lucky.

Pretty simple on Pinto. Give him a choice. If he wants to sit out Friday and play Saturday. If neither, UND will be just fine beating UAH. Rest isn't a bad thing. However, he'll miss out on some stats probably. Team first though.

Is he one of our recruits?

Can't win with Freshie first rounders. College hockey, there's too much disparity in regards to weight and strength with 18 year olds compared to 21+

Agreed. 100%

This series is good to get back into things and gear up for the 2nd half. Get Thome some playing time. Maybe give him 1 whole game on Friday and he and Scheel can split the game on Saturday. This is the right opponent to split playing time for both goalies in 1 or both games. In addition, be nice to get Mishmash scoring some more goals this weekend, toss in Hain, Bast too. What else am I missing?

Not Grand Forks, but Fargo related, tried Bird Brew (chicken place) in Fargo over the weekend. Very good and fun place. Anyone try? Chicken sandwiches this day and age are selling more than burgers. Places like Chick-fil-A etc. are striving. Bird Brew is more of order and sit down place. Not fast food, more fast causal.

Anyone know the annoying kickoff song Nicolas St. had? Interested in the name of the song. Gosh, that was annoying.

What’s the best resource for highlights and recap of a game? Website, twitter or Instagram etc. would love to see Russian gas throttling of Canada.

Anyone know anything about Grand Forks Red Rivers Michael Colelman? A freshie avg. almost a goal a game. Not bad. What's his height?

Pinto very likely to be gone after 2 years. Be huge if he stayed 3. Big body, good speed (a work in progress) and protects the puck very well. Better win a Natty with him this year or next.
