Did you wear it in Tampa in 2016? If you were there and wore something else, you need to bring whatever you wore that year. If you weren't there, you're not allowed to go to Vegas. Those are the rules...

There was a German kid that was being highly recruited but re-signed with his club on a professional deal for next season

I'd be more interested to see if UND hockey loses NDSU fans. This is the first time that shithole school has its top sport in the second highest level (G5 is not P4). Do those down south with dual loyalties still come to the flagship to see a top team in the top conference at the top level?

Wait... so people complaining about lack of commitment from MBB players are celebrating UND's lack of commitment to WBB players?

I'm just happy to be here while you all repeat the same conversations from each of the previous Springs

These adults have all fulfilled their one-year commitment to the team, yes? Then they're free to search for opportunities elsewhere based on private discussions between them and their boss. Some choose to take on another one-year commitment with the university. Others choose to pursue that one year commitment at another university where they have the opportunity to earn more money - sometimes even life-changing money.

Fair - was just using the most current situation. However, giving moderators power to edit individual posts at their whim is not something I agree with. I felt comfortable bringing "politics" into it because it's one of those few situations where nearly everyone (those abusing the system excluded) agrees.

and that's just kids. Meanwhile, you have politicians betting and trading on insider knowledge.

Personally, I'm looking forward to AI hockey players. At least they would stick around for four years.

If I were a betting man, I'd put all of my money on Larson.

Why? Because they're posting opinions you don't like? Does it hurt your feelings to hear that Grand Forks isn't a preferred destination for players and coaches despite having a nice campus? Or that playing for a team that struggles to be .500 vs D1 teams doesn't seem so appealing. Or that not having a dedicated practice facility turns people away when similar schools have one?

I don't get the desire to attack this poster. Do they have a grudge because of a bad experience for either them or their daughter? Yeah, probably. But, are they saying anything that we as fans don't want? UND should be having a coach that positively influences the players both on and off the court, UND should invest money in their top women's sport, UND should charter to away games that aren't reachable by bus in fewer than 5 hours. UND should have dedicated practice courts to allow players to improve individually. UND should be at least a .500 team against D1 opponents, but all of the above play into the reason they're not.

Why? They finished above ndsu in KenPom and with at least 7 schools declined an invite, they're definitely in the top 32 of what's left.

I'm not saying this is the case, but he could go to another ncaa school and still come here in 27, 28, or 29.

Probably a good time to be an avid bike rider as average gas prices in GF have jumped nearly 20% over the past week.

16 teams play tomorrow, so there are a lot more than 5 with games, including Eichel in LA. So, it's also not a travel thing. I mentioned the Minnesota players because of the local ties.

Brock Faber is the only one raised in Minnesota who is in DC. Brock Nelson is back in CO.

Having all the ice events in Nice will be nice. It was quite the journey to get to curling events in Italy unless you dedicated full days to that and snow events. Except, they're going to close up the soccer stadium, divide it in half, and create two 17,000 seat hockey rinks. The sight lines if you're not in the seats on the sides are going to be miserable.

Gotta think Eruzione is cheering for Canada so he stays relevant and can come out of the woodwork every 4 years

If they're assholes for silently protesting in 2021, you probably shouldn't google ways the US flag was disrespected that year.

Why would you expect anything different? They're representing their country on the biggest stage.

Unless desperate for points, teams would park the bus for the first five minutes of OT the same way it often happens in the last handful of minutes in a tied game. That one point is more important than giving up all 3. I hate 3v3 but in a tournament like the Olympics where TV and money drives everything and there are only two rinks (realistically one once you get to the semifinals) it just doesn't work like an NHL playoff overtime. Switzerland and Sweden went to OT. Imagine if they go into 3 or 4 OTs before a winner is decided. That shifts the US/Canada game to at best a midnight local time start where public transport would shut down an hour before the end of the game. You suddenly have 12,000 fans stranded in an arena that is currently in the middle of nowhere with no realistic way to get to their hotels. For this type of tournament, 3v3 works even if it's not "real hockey."

You're complaining about Fenton being absent yet you want him to be the conference lead for all sports except for football?

Sweden's only loss was to Finland which was a bigger upset than Slovakia over Finland. Sweden needed to beat Slovakia by 3 but gave up a late goal to win 5-3.
