In this new age of NIL, portals, CHL players, etc...a GM-like role makes absolute sense to take some of those responsibilities off the coaches.

Addition by subtraction.

Man our guys sure get injured a lot. Bump got injured and missed 30sec.

I heard all their freshmen studs were entering the portal. Check the rumors at McGoverns!

Those fools don't know anything. He may be gone, but I wouldn't trust the drunkards there.

Two things. Really hoping Bump signs right after the season ends. And really hoping we get Sacha for another year.

I know, I was more saying that the Berry vs Sandy argument that gfhockey always starts up is pointless because neither coach will lead their team to another title anytime soon.

I don't think Sandy or Berry is the answer.

So crazy, especially being that both DU and ASU are known for having big fanbases that travel extremely well.

Cornell and QU tied at 1 toward end of 2nd.

Why stop at 20 years? Let's go back to 1950 or something!

BGSU and UNO are gonna be almost all-CHL it seems. We'll see how that works. Could be fine with the older players...or it might tank them if they're just underskilled overagers.

The new Through These Doors episode is up and the opening sequence has a great view of the bench during Jubenvill's GWG against UNO. Pretty cool to see how the whole bench was so fired up, both players and coaches. And I wonder if he did hear Coach Simpson, but didn't want to admit it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrWG0q_eVx4

Hopefully we can win the NCHC tourney and in a way end Michigan's season as a payback for last season.

Maine ties it

Not enough playing time this year.

Northeastern going for the upset in the late game. They're up 3-2 on Maine halfway thru the 3rd. They're the only team in the HEA playoffs that are outside the PWR top 15, so they could move the cut line down a notch if they were to win.

Damn that Jasper Weatherby!

He did say that Boston was his favorite city in the US just last week: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/get-to-know-und-freshman-forward-sacha-boisvert But then he also said this as well, in today's article about him winning RotY: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/sacha-boisvert-win-nchc-rookie-of-the-year And Berry said this: If Berry said that and Boisvert ends up hitting portal...is he just being nice or is he out of touch with the what the players are doing? Those 45-days that the portal are open are gonna be rough.

Sandy had a good 40+ min end of season press conference for UMD. Talked about transfers and his hatred of the portal, plus how his team will shape up in future years. He said that he doesn't know what his roster will look like next year at all because he doesn't know how many players will hit the portal. Wouldn't coaches have a really good idea of who might hit the portal or sign pro contracts? I know some might be surprises, but certainly not all. I mean, if us as fans are hearing rumors, I have to think that coaches would hear the same stuff and be able to act on it and discuss with the players beforehand. I know the coaches have end of season discussions with all the players, but I would imagine they could attempt to act on it before it gets to that point. Like if Berry thought there was a chance that some impact players were thinking of leaving, he needs to be going full court press on those guys to "recruit" them back for another season. You know, just basic roster management stuff.

Not good. Not good at all. Unless you count when it is hosted at REA...then his record is stellar.

And just checking UConn's team page...man, they are young too. Of their top 12 scorers, only one is running out of eligibility this year. Their top 2 scorers are only SO. They could be good for a couple years if they don't get hit with too many portals or pro signees.

Congrats to Sacha! Definitely deserved it. Now...1 (or 2) more years! Also...TH won NCHC Media Excellence Award. Also deserved. Poor Ciskie was in the running as well, he didn't stand a chance.

UConn beat BU today to get their spot in the HEA championship. UConn is surprising this year for sure.
