Let’s pack the Betty next week to help keep the winning streak alive!
Actually... their highest attended game this year was a loss. So, maybe we only have 300 people show up like there were for the win over Winthrop this year.

I don't know for sure, but I'm sure they will do an MRI. If there was a lot of swelling, they used to have to wait a few days before the MRI to let the swelling go down, but I'm not sure if technology has made that a mute point now. Once they have the MRI done, they will most likely have to have someone read it and confirm or deny. Probably a day or two at the earliest - a week at the latest. Just my guess however.
I've been told that MRIs are part of preventative care so maybe it's not really serious.
Also - there are at least two dozen people on campus who can legally read an MRI and provide medical advice, so no - they're not waiting up to a week for results. -
If we compare the last few years of his tenure with the last few years of previous coaches of other UND sports, you see he has a couple things going for him.
Most importantly, he doesn't have a name or nickname that starts with B. Secondly, he continues to recruit solid players.
Between Brewster, Bubba, Berry, Bernhard you can see their quality of recruits the final couple of years really started to drop. They seemed to get complacent and let social media and the facilities do the recruiting for them.
Sather is still getting decent talent even if it's leaving after one or two years. -
I had the pleasure of working closely with Frank for 9 years at AF and he's not only one of the best humans, he's also one of the most entertaining. But, he takes his hockey seriously.

shut it down...don't even try....the sky is falling.
you'd make a great ad
Yes, my opinions on posting anonymously on a college hockey message board would be exactly the same as if I was an AD (again?).
But if I was an AD, I certainly wouldn't use ASU or Augustana as any sort of justification for starting a D1 program in Oklahoma where there is minimal hockey connection or either minor or pro teams.
So, yes shut it down. Or at least get a big ass donor to afford a good coach, facilities, and NIL.

if az state of all schools can do it so can other bigger schools like osu...and for smaller schools like augie too (sounds like augie hockey is on fire in the sodak state)....
Because they're new and they're winning. What happens when they have a few LSSU seasons

What part of "no politics" are folks not understanding.
Plenty of forums do allow; go there.
Can you please clarify which posts recently constitute politics?
I posted, without commentary, an article about an athlete who died. Is that not the purpose of this thread? -

This is from after the Friday game, so not including Sat results.No points on Saturday. Hopefully, Jax uses this as a learning opportunity and he benches Liver next weekend.

It's almost as if having a monopoly over athletics opportunities for 18-24 year olds is coming back to haunt the NCAA. It may seem drastic with how much the courts are clawing back the stranglehold the NCAA has had on athletes since its inception but it only seems drastic when compared to what was available previously.

Don't assume Livanavage will leave. There are people close to him who want him to stay.
He's also pretty smart in knowing what his future will likely be: maybe 3-4 seasons bouncing between NHL and AHL before heading over to Europe.

Goes beyond the sport … learn commitment early, will benefit you in the long run. Getting off topic here a bit but jumping ship and always hoping the grass is greener on the other side isn’t a great lifelong philosophy
only counter argument is money of which a flash in the pan payday isn’t always life changing for someone in their early 20s if the right discipline isn’t in place
This isn't the 80s and 90s anymore. Commitment doesn't mean sticking with a school for 4-5 years. It means fulfilling your obligations, which is a one year contract to be a student athlete.
There's no guarantee for these adults that the contract will be there next year. Not to mention, any member of the staff can and does leave year over year. Is that teaching commitment?
You have no idea what that bonus means to each player. For some, it is life changing regardless of future earnings.
You make it sound like meeting their obligations, getting paid for their value, and choosing the path that they believe is best for them is a bad thing.

Should’ve stayed at UND. We’ll see how it pans out in the Big 10 for ‘em …
Why? You keep repeating that players have a better chance at going pro by staying at UND but that's just not true. This school has zero recent history of putting multiple players in the NFL or CFL.
Go to Iowa, make some money, get a degree, and if you have the chance to keep playing then great. If not, you've got more money and a degree from a more well-known school.

Adam Scheel count?
He had already played his freshman year with a 2.07 GAA and .910 save percentage in 26 games before Karl joined the staff.

His numbers have been basically the same for 4 years. Hobie had roughly the same GAA but a better SV% and he didn’t turn out at all. Wait to see how he does when he gets here.
I feel the next goalie commit will be from the WHL.
Karl was a full time assistant from 2019-2025. Name one incoming freshman goalie that he recruited during that time who left UND significantly better than when they arrived.

Davos heading into their fifth game in five days while the USCS on their second in four and fourth in six.
Will be interesting to see who they play in net. Assuming Gajan is over his minor injury, I'd expect him to go.

You all would be so upset to know who is representing UND in Europe
Be prepared for some green at the Olympics

I don't know how ESPN is making money off of the World Juggling Federation and Axe Throwing. If it's such great programming, why don't they put it on the main ESPN channel? I know I won't be watching any of that garbage.
More cable systems might pick up ESPNU if they put decent programming on it. But TV executives aren't known for being all that intelligent to begin with.
Nobody said it's great programming, but go ahead and pretend that's the case if it hurts your feelings less.
It costs ESPN virtually nothing to show that content. It costs ESPN money to crew and broadcast college hockey but essentially gain no more viewers.
College hockey does not bring significant viewership numbers.

wonder if these highly ranked minny boys know who paul's replacement is and is good with it...?
Sure.... a state with open records laws decided to forego those to hire a backdoor replacement and are trusting high-school kids to keep it a secret.
That also assumes the AD isn't feeding information to the local media on a regular basis. There's a reason you see the Herald with articles ready to go after announcements.
-
It's not that hard to understand. Those shows make more money for ESPN than broadcasting college hockey.
The production quality and announcers needed toto move a game from ESPN+ to a linear channel does not equate to advertising dollars due to viewers.

The fact it says less than instead of fewer than is a red flag. Not to mention that AI information via Google and other search engines is wrong way too often, I wouldn't trust it
