UND travel journal is up: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-hockey-travel-journal-fighting-hawks-land-in-st-louis?fbclid=IwAR0k4h9r8s9OYDVjm0xIAWXKJCv8k8wSe9tddtCzs9bwTSRzrPKW7O6QFOw_aem_ASRBhxFd9mGWUmL81rwlxWCBV9aixml822HULqp21CEy4y8hLb0dK6BFjREMVLn1rrlV2PCgFouD5yBHsiHETAkW

Yeah could you imagine some young potential recruits watching this video series and then seeing all that stuff at the Ralph (the full recovery rooms with nap area??)...comparing it to the other college rinks that Chiclets has shown. Those other rinks are nice, for sure...but the Ralph absolutely blows them away. Not even close.

Yep. I'd also put the 2004 regional final loss to DU on there (in Colorado Springs). 1-0 on a late 3rd period goal from DU. UND outshot them 33-17 but just couldn't get one past Berkhoel. Ryan Hale hit the post less than a minute in and that set the tone. The year of the Parise/Murray/Bochenski big line (The Money Line). Parise turned pro a couple days later. I remember just turning off the TV and sitting in my living room in silence after that game.

Damn that would be a really hard F4 to watch. But honestly could happen.

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2024/03/26_Between-the-Lines-In-Times.php CHN talking about coach of the year candidates:

Got it. So then a guy like Hunter Johannes...he scored 29pts last season with Lindenwood and 18pts this season at UND. Using your same theory, that means he was surrounded by more talent last season at Lindenwood?

Bottomless Red Pepper Gift card.

What about the opposite then? Like Cameron Berg or Garrett Pyke -- both had their best seasons ever statistically this year since transferring to UND from UNO and UAF. Culture? Blame Berry? Systems? Those coaches didn't yell enough?

A massive screamfest from Berry and Dane would do wonders during pre-game. Don't think Simmers or Karl have it in them though, might need to bring back Deano and Geno if they make it to the Sunday game.

When Blais coached, he'd just call Christian Bros and have them send over a few hundred more wood sticks from Warroad. Little bit different animal these days.

Time to get that 1883 Collective fired up for their first UND commit.

Can't imagine many schools would be willing to kick out a chunk of NIL dollars for Biondi. Is he a nice solid player? For sure. But he's not gonna be a game changer for many college programs. Especially not ND in the B10.

Also helped that UW hit 4-5 posts in that game. But I'll take that kind of puck luck any day. I'd take it on Friday.

SCSU Dman Peart signed a NHL deal with the Wild. He was a JR.

First coach to win a title in his first year of head coaching? You're gonna want to save some of your posts for if/when UND loses next, wouldn’t want to see you get burnt out.

This team can turn it around, just like the Knights in The Natural!

Man, that's a lot of coaches that need to start yelling at their players more.

Is this what our new NIL collective is paying for?

DU was the only team that I felt could have taken the 2016 team out, as they were talented as well. But yeah, that team was certainly a bit above everyone else that year. This year, I wouldn't be surprised if any of 9-10 teams won it, UND being among that list.

Every year.

SCSU goalie Basse is in the transfer portal.

33 pts and only a junior this past season. We seem to only take dmen from UAF though.

There's no way that we luck out like UMD did.

Time to ramp it up. Tough regional, but it is what the boys got after their recent poor play against CC/UNO. If the boys advance out of this regional, they'll have earned it.
