  1. Yeah, I think every NCAA team will be able to get some good CHLers moving forward...there certainly are enough of them. I just meant that I don't see any CHL first rounders (or many 1st/2nd rounders in general) going there when there are so many other schools with better facilities and NIL opportunities. Unless there's a ton more Duluth/Superior/Hermantown/Proctor studs coming up the pipe that have dreamed of being a Bulldog forever.
  2. Ran into Bryn's parents again tonight at dinner. They said that the team is (understandably) pretty pissed that they didn't perform up to their capabilities against UW. They also said that Bryn has a "few aces up his sleeve" for this offseason. Can't wait to see it.
  3. I feel like next season might be UMDs last shot at a title in awhile. I think they are a team that won’t be able to keep up in the new world of NIL and CHL.
  4. Plante wins the Hobey, and seems like signs are leaning toward him coming back for a JR year at UMD (as expected) to play with his two bros. UMD could be very good next season
  5. +1! I am really excited for MacKenzie...I think he's gonna be really fun to watch at UND for a few years.
  6. It's all linked to an X account with 13 followers who claims that DuPont was visiting the UMN campus yesterday...despite being at practice with Everett for their playoff game today. I doubt it.
  7. Jubs would be my guess. Was the odd man out all season it seemed. He certainly has skill, but will wonder if he will be the odd man out again next season with the skill coming in.
  8. Agreed. I think defense is looking pretty good with those four plus MacKenzie + CHL stud "TBD". Strathmann takes on a more offensive side (he's got it in him with his skill and skating)...Laurila was a huge surprise this year, he's poised to be a very very good NCAA dman...Verhoeff takes a jump...Emery is the shutdown guy with a pile of minutes.
  9. Next season roster so far. Probably a couple of signings...probably a couple of portal entrants...hopefully the core group is back to make another run + with some excellent new additions: Forwards (14 of 15): SR - Menghini JR - Andrew, Croal, Littler, Swanson SO - Josephson, Kernan, Klee, Reschny, Zakreski, Zellers FR - A.Schultz, B.Schultz, Simpson Defense (8 of 9): SR - JR - Emery, Jubenvill, Strathmann SO - Engel, Laurila, Verhoeff FR - Lindberg, MacKenzie Goalies (3 of 3): SR - Sandy JR - SO - Spunar FR - Heil
  10. You're writing off an entire new staff due to a single one-goal loss in the F4, a place where they finally led us back to after a break of 10 years. It was a tough loss after a really great season. No need to panic. Let's see how this offseason goes, because I think it will be even better than last offseason.
  11. Wiebe to sign: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-abram-wiebe-to-sign-with-calgary-flames
  12. Michigan with 52 SOG. Whatever deal with the devil that Carle made, hopefully it is over soon.
  13. I’m sure he’d like to work on his finishing as well. He has great vision and a strong 200ft game. Getting double the goals he got this year would be fantastic.
  14. Yep. DU getting all the calls
  15. Not with him playing at 60% effort and doing blind passes to the opposing team in the defensive zone.
  16. Brilliant idea. That would nip it really quick
  17. If they score there I think they end up winning.
  18. Add Carels and MacKenzie and the blue line is loaded with chippers. Get the Ruck twins combined with Simpson already committed and we’re having another fun season.
  19. Perron looks much smoother this year. Must be how he looks when he’s not already mentally checked out
  20. Lucky bounce for UM
  21. If another Rickwood type shows up in the portal, I’d take him in a heartbeat
