Word for the boys - don't go hiking across Ray Richards. Also, maybe take the stairs instead of any elevators too. Or at least go to the bathroom before you head out. Be safe!

One of my favorite games ever at the Ralph. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNumTfae7Z0

Am I the only one who felt like I was talking crazy pills watching those face offs? Every time the ref would be in there, locked, loaded, and ready to go wayyyy too early, then proceed to sit there and stare at everyone and refuse to drop the puck.

McFeely estimated $250k-$400k.

I wonder if we could do something similar in the near future - an opportunity for big name alumni to serve in an "assistant GM" role where they could help recruit talent and NIL $$. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/44481339/hawks-trae-young-named-asst-gm-oklahoma-men-basketball

Wishing I would've had this sensibility instead of going with my heart and a Maine championship.

You remind me of the dude in that same class who wore a half visor and treated every day like it was his shot to show Hak what he could do and make the team - way too serious for the venue.

As one of a select few people on here with experience being coached by Dane, I figured I should share my two cents. Now…I wasn’t exactly on the UND hockey team, per-se, but I did take the intro to ice hockey class from Hak and Dane would often come help. I clearly recall him telling me to crash the net from the wing looking for a rebound from an opposite side shot and that same week, I did exactly that in my (lowest tier) intramural game and scored. (My only goal of the season) Point being - he made me a better player. More importantly, I have only ever heard good things about him from guys who were actually on or around the team. I hope we get to see a new or mostly new coaching team under him and of course, success on the ice next year. I’m excited to see what he can do.

What a gift for us on the line change by MSU. There would be a lot of angry posts on here if that was us. Go Sioux.

If you're offering odds on that spread, I'll take UND to cover +20 against NDSU this fall or any time.

Yeah, I would've rather seen a path forward for Danny to stay as well. My comment about him coming back was more in jest/wishful thinking. As I see it, after Danny left, they had two options - either start from zero, or keep Bubba on and go out to find talent that can come in as an assistant and be ready to take over when Bubba retires. I like keeping Bubba and building internally to improve and succeed him. I'm really curious how so many people seem to think that the answer is just to ditch Bubba and suddenly we are beating the state schools every year and getting tan in Frisco. He's made some head scratching decisions over the past few seasons that have cost us games, there's no doubt about that, but I just don't think replacing him is going to gain us ground faster than building up under him.

I don't see what everyone is so upset about. 1) You all seem to be certain that Bubba is going to keep the program afloat and in playoff contention. Can't say the same for a new hire. 2) Bubba is just keeping the seat warm for Danny to come back in a few years with the SDSU book of secrets and take over as HC. He'll hand Danny a solid program that is primed and ready to take from good to great.

Thanks for catching that! I updated the sheets.

I added onto the detailed current standing you've created with a sheet that will allow you to select the outcome of each remaining NCHC game and see what the final standings will be. You just have to select the outcome of each game in the column highlighted in yellow and the standings at the top left corner will automatically update and sort based on your selections.
