Hoping the Wild make him an offer.

I understand the sadness, the anger, all that. But really, UND WIH was totally blindsided? They didn't see any of this coming? Once the second round of $ cuts was announced, it was obvious at least 1 or 2 sports would be gone. And when info. came out that legal experts on Title IX were consulted, a lot of us thought whoa, it could be women's hockey. But they didn't have any idea? How can that be.

My thoughts. Borgstrom is very, very good. But they didn't put him out there when they needed someone to win puck battles or work to get the puck out of their zone. I'm guessing he'd stay at DU to improve his 200 foot game next year. Was Butcher the best player in college hockey this year? Very valuable to Denver, good player and their captain. But I'm not sure he was even the best player on the ice last night. Was impressed by Gambrell's overall game.

Anybody else get email today from the NCAA about Frozen Four tickets? Apparently, lots available. Good tickets too.

Didn't see UND. Were they included?

#1.Yep. One reason I can't cheer for UMD this weekend. #2. ????? #3. Yep. #4 Another reason I can't cheer for UMD this weekend. #5. Yep.

Assuming he graduated.

Good God, the Avs are bad. Why did Jost leave early to play there? And because of his age, playing this year doesn't even burn a year off his entry level contract. I know he's a very special player and we were happy to get him even if it was for just one year. But it couldn't have hurt his development to play here next year instead of in that mess.

I was thinking the same thing. Because of his age, his contract slides.

Dang it. Was hoping for one more year.

On a dirty hit. With no penalty. And Cam was run on the same shift. With no game DQ. Hope Josh Fenton takes a hard look at those officials.

Didn't it used to be a delay of game in college too?

Shaw, Chartrand, Gardner, Wilkie, Cam Johnson, Ausmus, Simonson, Gersich. Boeser and Stecher in suits.

Please Jost. One more year. Look how much Nick S. improved his game his second year, and how ready he was when he got to Chicago. You can play in the WJC. And maybe the Olympics if the NHL doesn't go.

Is it negotiable? Can an organization say to the prospect, sign now and we'll burn the first year?

Can not, will not cheer for UMD. Tired of their cheap shots, flopping, and freaking out. Gage conducted himself well with officials. Toninato is a tool.

This.

Agreed. Not an upset, that's for sure.

ND winning all the puck battles.

Hahahahaha. Lacrosse!

They didn't need indisputable evidence to prove he was onsides. It was called a goal on the ice. They needed indisputable evidence that he was offsides and if they have to go that far back, and take that long it couldn't have been indisputable. Yes, the Sioux had plenty of chances to win that game, but I think the call after the review is wrong.

They get high draft picks to sign early by having them play in end of year games, thus burning a year on their entry level contract.

I do too. Tons of potential. I think he'll be remembered as a very special player by the time he leaves, hopefully after NEXT season.

We're lucky that Brock picked UND. Great player, had a lot of fun watching him. I wish him nothing but the best going forward. The way that NHL contracts are set up, if he signs now he burns one year of his entry deal - could be very advantageous for him down the road. His coaches and teammates understand that's how it works. He's part of the Sioux family forever. And we have another reason to cheer for the Canucks.
