Matthew Knies was the Big 10 player of the year. Kind of hard to win the Hobey without winning your conference’s player of the year award if past winners are any indication.

If we land a top 6 center type in the portal I think it’s a given 27 is going to be the 4th line center. (Or it should be). He’s pretty good on faceoffs and on the PK. I think he knows his role, which is why he’s leadership material.

Guess I don’t need to pretend I didn’t know this was happening anymore…

Campbell is going to Northeastern

I’m guessing there’s a right shot D we are targeting not mentioned. Schlossman was just throwing out names that are probably at the top of the list for a guy who can play heavy minutes but there are probably also other targets.

Caggiula wasn’t really an older player since he came in as a true freshman.

Exactly. We can’t just snap our fingers and have a commitment. Gotta successfully recruit them first!

Yup. I was thinking about regionals but I’ve heard they’ve opted to move away from bidding on those in favor of bigger events… like Frozen Fours.

In 2016 Minnesota hosted and didn’t make the tournament but the Committee sent SCSU to that regional (and then they lost to Ferris State and Denver advanced) and UND went to Cincinnati. I think that’s the last time Minnesota hosted a regional.

If one of the first things Minnesota’s social media person thinks about after advancing to the Frozen Four is UND, we’ll that’s just adorable!

Can someone explain if he is really from Fargo? Because his bio on the UNO website lists his hometown as White Bear Lake, MN.

Yeah they definitely thought it was in the bag. But they were the only ones who did. I met some Boston College fans after the semifinals and they thought the Gophers were going to get destroyed by Union.

That was the NCAA tournament they only got in by like 0.0000001 or something.

Does QU have white jerseys? I’ve only seen them wear gold when they are home.

I’ve been saying it for months that turning over basically the entire d core may be for the best. Fresh slate!

Well he’s coming in so…

Win the faceoff, keep the puck should be next season’s game plan…

I think the plan has always been 2 years of juniors for Croal so if they can avoid bringing him in I would guess they would and just find a guy in the portal.

Yup. I was told this yesterday and immediately started looking at portal D lol.

As far as D, one of the guys in the portal that ON PAPER would seem to hit all the boxes the coaches usually look for is Tanner Palocsik from Dartmouth. Captain, right shot, pretty good offensive stats, NCAA ice time leader. But I’m not sure about getting a kid from the Ivy League to come to UND. I would imagine once regionals are complete there will be more to choose from.

Well that series is at the Ralph so…

I think Kunz could be a third line guy.

Moe only has one. Persson and Haider have 2.

I also do not like Blake and Gaber together on a line for the exact reason you said.

He wasn’t healthy scratched once I don’t think. Wasn’t he out sick in those games he missed? I don’t think there’s any chance he goes in the portal. I’m actually not seeing many freshmen go in there. They usually give it until at least end of sophomore year.
