I heard we were.

So the list of potential Judd replacements listed in this article has already dwindled. Colangelo is going to Western and Mahshie to UConn.

All signs point to Michigan State for him according to someone on USCHO. They said it’s all but official. They must be making a new team

I don’t really think Portz was pushed out to keep Albrecht. I think that has to do with other additions and potential additions. Im also not sure I think Albrecht is going to come back. Just look at the forwards. Plus factor in Judd’s replacement. He would basically be coming back to fight for a 4th line/extra skater spot and I’m not sure he’d want to do that.

No doubt. Plus Judd isn’t coming back just to play on the 4th line. (I don’t think he’s back though)

I don’t know that I expect Emerson to play center but at least the option is there. I know he played center in his last game but prior to that he had been playing wing for months. Depends what the coaching staff prefers.

You mean even more of them are going to block me on Twitter? Bummer

That is the rumor. So we will see.

I think one of the targets is going to be a younger guy with more than one year of eligibility.

That one is going to Boston College

Maybe I missed it, but has Berry even had the end of season press conference he always has once the season is over? I am waiting to see what questions are asked then.

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.
