Hawks will make moves, Wild will not. Quote me.

Can we close this thread? It's a done deal. I'm over it.

Parise's biggest regret will be chasing paper instead of trying to win a cup and play with hall of famers. He's never winning a cup in MN. Not trying to bash the Wild just stating the reality for those MN sports fans. He and Suter just like everyone else, aren't getting any younger.

The sun came up and the deed had to be done. I'm over it! Let's move forward!

Gersich will have to find 2 new linemstes. I'm sure he's just thrilled.

Jost leaving early like this is going to have the same effect on the team next year as when Brock Nelson left early. Dammit!

Be interesting to see what guys stay and go. Jost should stay for one more year. He idle, Toews, played 2 years at UND. Comeback and a wear a "C" next year as a sophomore! Tomek and Wilkie? Do they transfer? I would encourage Wilkie to stay and hit the off-season super hard. I feel like if he can score a few goals his confidence will change tremendously. I think you're gonna see the coaching staff bring in as many offensive freshman guys as they can. Next year's team could be pretty lethal. Pogo? He'll probably leave, but should come back for 1 more year. He hasn't hit his ceiling yet in the college level. He had an okay junior year but I selfishly expected more. Cam - not sure why he would leave, other than getting a contract. He'd be playing in the ECHL/"maybe" a few AHL games if best next year. The road for goalies is a difficult one. No one else should leave, but there's always surprises. We shall see.

The longer that game went in OT without UND scoring was favoring BU. BU got their chance on that play and then buried. Brock lost "2" faceoffs in our own end. Stinks to lose the game especially when I thought the boys had it won with the goal that was taken back. Tough one to swallow!

That's what I was thinking. Will there be beers in that section? :-)

Pardon my ignorance, champion's club members with their tickets, anyone know where "SC-Lounge" section is at the rink? Went to Scheels arena after work and young box office girl was not sure.

Best corner player and best edge player (with his skates) since... well, he's the best player with that skill I've ever witnessed at UND. Been watching UND hockey for over 25 years. Says a lot. He's a special talent!

Michael Forney is also one that went from prep to college and he was rushed. That did not end well for him. Not all his fault though.

Anyone have a link to highlights of the game last night? Would love to see a recap. Thanks.

Let's see if he wants to be part of the team for the remainder of the playoff run/final season. Be humble Brock, score and make your teammates better. Let's go!

Shutout for the 5th time this year. Unreal.

What a boring game to watch. All the little subtle plays are awful. Yuck!

I wouldn't judge based off the first game of state. Nerves and generally weird things happen on day 1 of state tourney. We'll see.

Red River looks good. They can play with Central, however to have a young Sophomore goalie step up to beat Central is one big ask. Crazy things have happened in the state tournament though. We shall see.

For people complaining of the quality of the webcast, they generally don't stream quarterfinals games. Keep in mind after today, the feed/stream will be better as it'll be on NBC locally. Webcast will be better tomorrow and Saturday. Be grateful.

If someone goes to the earlier games today, can you do us all a solid? What is price for single-day passes? Thanks!

Sharing in case anyone missed it. Hopefully, that future star that is in Peewees or Bantams goes to UND! http://www.nbcsports.com/video/full-episode-road-through-warroad

Weak clearling attempts and plays from the D starts with CONFIDENCE. Their tentative/transition game, which sucks, with its glass and out is contingent to the theory in reducing the small margin of error. Again, it's from confidence and not trying to make mistakes. Hence, the crappy play C. Poolman and Penski (given his progression) have had a respectful freshman campaign. Freshman "D", generally speaking and their transition to college is one of the harder positions to adapt to, given the college skill, speed and physicality level. C. Johnson is he great now? No. In his junior/senior year, will he be good? He "Should be" trending with that vision/goal. He's a 4-year player. In addition, "should be" a good 4-year player. Scoring issues with the forwards? Again, that comes from confidence too. See Wilkie, perfect example. You don't score 35 goals in your last year in the USHL if you're a mediocre player. College level is a whole new ballgame and it's a tough adjustment for "most" players unless you're elite. See Brock, Jost, Oshie, Toews, Parise, Stafford, Zajac, Nelson, Drake, Duncan, Bochenski etc. Anymore brain busters?

This is comical and mental. I want my time back from reading this stupid commentary. I guess this logic doesn't apply to the Chicago Blackhawks with their logo and not so great city (given specific areas) of Chicago. Oh, wait, they have 3 cups in 6 years. Just saying.

Wilkie having 0 goals is incredible. I just don't want to rip the kid though. In addition, Hoff only having 2? In October, Hoff was the best freshman of the bunch on both sides of the rink and played with some tenacity. Where's the progression?!
