There it is. Forgot that they just fired their coach.

Only if MSU or UND is involved.

Dang, that VT Twitter account must feel sheepish. I thought a player couldn’t enter the transfer portal after a certain date? Timing would work out for a MN commitment for sure, Motzko I’m guessing would be feeling a bit stressed after the late Cooley signing and needing to add some skill (and numbers) up front.

How many of them are we in?

A Goofer twitter account, so who knows its accuracy.

I really hope they don't have to go to the portal to fill those empty forward spots, they've been ripping on other programs that are utilizing the portal transfers.

Haha, the GPL posters saying those things are the same ones that lurk here all the time so that they can report back. As far as being "behind them", we did split with them at Mariucci last season and both teams failed in bringing home the trophy.

UMN will still be good for sure, but losing Knies and Cooley will be tough holes to fill. Not to mention all their defensemen that signed.

They're sure dragging this out...haha. Just announce it already!

I'd say UMN and UM are still the best two, but MSU sure added a ton of firepower and will see a huge improvement this year.

Unfortunately we've been there too, recently with Weatherby. Of course, Jasper wasn't a top 3 draft pick, but whatevs.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team and group of fans.

Yeah that's a really odd tweet if he doesn't end up signing. C'mon, Cooley, make it official!

Swanson made the final roster for the Hlinka cup, but Pilgrim did not: https://www.therinklive.com/junior-and-prospects/usa-hockey-announces-u-18-mens-select-team-roster-for-the-hlinka-gretzky-cup Also another article on Swanson on Rink Live, talks about him building strength this offseason and playing center more next season: https://www.therinklive.com/junior-and-prospects/ushl/fargos-mac-swanson-ready-for-more-in-year-two-determined-to-make-team-usa-first

Great get! Nice work coaches!

That was my exact thought as well.

That'd be sweet! I'd be excited for 2 of the 3.

What are the odds that we land one or more of the three Fargo/Moorhead studs? Laurila has already taken a visit here but he's visiting quite a few places from the sounds of that article today. Lindberg was compared to Frisch (nice), but also has a brother going to CC. O'Neill sounds like he is coming on strong and getting more elite as he gets older.

Omaha series at the Ralph in January with my son. I'm down in AZ, so it's a road trip for me even if it's a home series for UND.

Dang...he's listed at 5'6" and 135lbs as a dman. Another Chay Genoway (or Curtis Murphy ), perhaps.

On his most recent podcast, Schloss mentioned that Komzak was one player that surprised him with how good he looked in early practice sessions.

I like this. A lot. I would only swap Schmaltz and OMac. I think Owen is set for a big year.
