Minnesota has 10 defensemen on their roster, which seems crazy to me.

We are short forwards too. It sounds like Blaisdell will be back before the end of the pod, so unless he’s able to play tonight, there are no healthy scratches.

Technically he left off last season as a healthy scratch...

If Western gets Brandon Bussi back, they’re likely a more competitive team in that division and could take some points. Miami has been more competitive so far than I thought they’d be. I think SCSU and UMD games will probably be as competitive as the UND and DU games are so I think that might be a wash.

Yeah. Everything I’ve seen indicate that Nate Benoit will play for Tri City in the USHL next year. He’d be age eligible to come in, but USHL will be better for his development.

I realize there’s a transfer portal and the whole additional year of eligibility situation throwing everything up in the air, but does anyone else think we still need some defensemen for next year? I did the math and I feel like we need between 1-3 more defensemen for next year. Especially considering potential early departure flight risks.

Yeah, same here. Caulfield has been pretty invisible to me so far. Blaisdell plays on the PK so I think he’s been more valuable to the lineup there. I also don’t think either line they have played on has shown much offensive chemistry as of yet.

He got hurt last game so not exactly surprising though.

Yes, he was a late add after the BU players had to withdraw due to COVID

Honestly, Moore and Rieger on the same pairing is something I don’t care to see at this point in the season. So hopefully we can figure out a good rotation.

4th actually.

We had 9 D with Miller, so I’m thinking they felt we could make do with 8. We also only had one recruit we could’ve pulled from juniors, in addition to the timing of it being mid semester.

I think everyone is waiting for the NCAA to tell everyone how the tournament field will be selected since Pairwise is useless this season.

Lol I was gonna ask when Western scored but i just saw it - must be my delay

I just know he decommited from Western Michigan

I, personally, don’t understand why there needs to be all this media coverage every time there is kneeling during the anthem. I think it’s dumb. I’d rather know about the actual game.

No one.

I have been undecided all off-season on lines 2 and 3. I have the same players but felt like there were multiple combinations of these six players that would work. Can’t wait to see what we go with.

No, you can only stream hockey on NCHC.TV since they have exclusive streaming rights.

Hennessy will be there.

I don’t question the President’s decision either. I do not think if it was up to just Berry that he would have made the same choice though. Also, I just saw on Twitter that according to one of his friends, Miller wasn’t permitted any communication with the victim’s family and they had a restraining order on him. So if true, and I am not sure it can be validated, could explain some things. But now I’m very confused on the mother’s wish for a direct apology. What a mess.

I read this yesterday. His mom threatening the victim’s mother was a big yikes for me.

I’m going to go with absolutely not on all of those forward lines. Sorry.

Yup, these are all questions I have as well. Fact is this bullying could have and should have been stopped way beforehand. I know Berry knew during the process because the university investigated, but I’d like to know what made him come to the conclusion he deserved a shot. I’d also like to know about the letter MM claims to have sent to the victim that the victim says he never got. Is MM lying? Did he really send it? Did it get lost? Either way, UND has handled this poorly and they will have to own it.
