Yeah, like those bums Cagguila and Stecher.

Man, I remember how many on here were flipping out when he didn't come here after his original commitment. Similar to Spicer.

Yes, all the players we've discussed here (other than Kraws, who I think would have been more of a "Plan B" option for us) and possibly Howard (though he prob already knew where he was going when he entered portal). Yes him or Haider I think we do very well here.

For sure. And there's only four teams left playing, so you're not going to get a ton more players added to the portal with them...what you see now is pretty close to what you're gonna have available for options. I'm hoping that the coaches are in talks with Haider, Persson, and Pavicich for goalie. And Warren, Koch, Pyke, and Palocsik for dmen. And of course Berg for another forward/center option.

Kraws to SLU.

Should have just looked on the briefcase, I think it's written on there.

Quote from the article:

That's how you could sell UND to him as well. Top 6 minutes plus special teams. Would be easy to improve his numbers.

Agreed completely. He would be a very good get. From Fargo, so maybe he wants to move closer to home. Good numbers, and was only a soph this year, so would still have a couple years of eligibility remaining. Depending on what plans Berry has for Albrecht/Montgomery, Berg would be able to be plugged right into the lineup IMO.

Agreed. I didn't think twice about that tweet. Pretty tame ribbing.

FYP.

Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! I was hoping for more new blood in this FF. Oh well. Go QU.

Just imagining a forward group of Blake, McLaughlin, James, Strinden, Perron, Emerson, Swanson, Boisvert, Panzer, Schmaltz, and Kunz. That's a very very strong and skilled forward group. Kunz and Schmaltz would be the lone SR's in the group. Blake, Mc, James, Strinden as JR's. Perron and Emerson as sophs. And a freshman forward group of Swanson, Boisvert, and Panzer. Throw in Portz and other forward recruits that may arrive like Croal, Klee, Slipec, and Singleton (assuming a couple of those don't make it to campus).

I'm hopeful that UMN overlooks BU a bit, in hopes of a B10 showdown vs Michigan. And then the Hutson bros crush their dreams.

Mass exodus predicted from Harvard, Minnesota, and Michigan.

Harvard also lost soph forward Farrell to NHL signing today too: https://www.uscho.com/2023/03/26/harvards-farrell-leaves-crimson-after-two-seasons-signs-nhl-deal-with-canadiens/

I have a perfect bracket in three regionals. My miss was picking DU over Cornell and to advance out of their region.

Rank order of remaining teams, based on me "wanting" them to win the title: Quinnipiac - Not a fan of Pecknold, but at least it keeps the title out of B10 and HE. Ohio St - could honestly flip OSU & PSU, first title Penn St - could honestly flip OSU & PSU, first title BU - they get their 6th, keeps title out of B10 Michigan - don't want them to hit double digits first, but my hatred of UMN prevents me from putting them ahead Minnesota - I hope they get crushed and then have Cooley, Knies, LaCombe, Brodzinski, Nelson, Faber, Johnson, and Close all leave/sign (first part not very probable...second part quite probable) Looks like it will be cheering for QU or for the building to blow up.

Challenge for too many men?

MafiaMan got his wish. That was quick 2-1 UM
