Big get if true. He still hasn't played a single game this season with his back issues.

That’d be a thriller.

Seems like the rumors are all over the board, which is crazy. Some rumors are saying that some players are staying or leaving regardless of the coaching decision. Some rumors are saying that players will only hit the portal if Dane doesn't get the job. Others are saying the opposite. Hard to know what is true at this point. I guess we'll all find out once the portal opens on Sunday and once the coaching decision is made. And I have no doubt that recruits are getting calls. Guys like Zellers & Laurila, with the great USHL seasons that they just had would prob be getting calls from other schools even if Berry hadn't been let go. I'm hoping that guys like that stick with their commitment regardless of who gets appointed head coach, with the goal of trying to help get this program back to where it needs to be. Those two would be big pieces of helping to propel this team to another level next year. Plus, it'd be a pretty fun time watching Boisvert and Zellers rip it up together on the score sheet.

If (and an IF) Dane gets the head coaching job...I'm hoping he brings on board at least one young up-n-coming assistant and cleans house with some of the others. I agree with you that the AD messed up this firing/hiring process. I'm gonna be a UND fan regardless of who is HC next season, and hope that the boys get past some of the issues of this past year. Seems like a lot of it had to do with the exiting SR class. Go Sioux.

And just like that, the entire hopes of the "almighty & powerful" B10 falls onto PSU.

Cmon UMass. You can do it.

Man you could feel that coming all period. 3-1

They remind me of UND this period...a few rushes here and there, but mostly just missed passes on good opportunities.

Right? The whole team went forward in a defensive zone draw.

Still a very good number of empty seats. UMN fans couldn't make the 3 hr drive?

Two of those issues were from years ago. I highly doubt they played any part in Berry's dismissal.

Ha! #2 overall seed now done. Two B10 teams already done today. Hopefully three....

Oh man, massive chance for WMU.

That ruins my bracket but I'm ok with that.

Only one penalty all game then that really late PP for Cornell.

Wow.

Cornell ties it at 3 with MSU. 4min left in that one.

Yep, good chance of that unfortunately.

Dang, heading to OT between WMU and MSUM.

MSUM is obviously well-coached, but I wouldn't want UND to play this style of play, for sure.

They look to be the better team, but MSUM clogs up the zones so well that they sure can't generate much.

MSU up 3-2 on Cornell toward end of 2nd.

Get rid of three unnamed people from our SR class and replace them with the two Slukynsky bros and Bump? Yeah, I'd say we would have been a wee bit better this year.

MSU up 2-1 on Cornell.

MSU and Cornell tied at 1.
