That writer is trash. His preview article was trash too. Could he at least try to be objective? The comments on Rieger (“actually a defenseman playing first game of the season at forward”), Bowen (“4th liner who was scratched for Saturday’s game”) and Weatherby (“1 goal, 1 assist”) were not at all necessary and there to display our “inferiority” to the Bulldogs.

Yes, Scheel started all 5 games of the win streak, but then he started when we lost to Miami and then rotation started again. Which, for the record, I was not a fan of. Should’ve never gone back to a rotation.

This is just how Berry rolls. Rotate until one guy stands out, roll him until he loses, then rotate again. I agree with you though.

Hoff, Smith and Casey Johnson. Pretty sure a lot of this team is Hakstol recruits really though.

No relation, actually

Dixon doesn’t have a brother though

I saw on Twitter that Harrison Blaisdell has signed his NLI. (Posted by the Chilliwack Chiefs)

The power play has been streaky for many years, long before Shaw arrived. Even the national championship team had less than 20% conversion on the PP. At this point I’m more concerned about the penalty kill.

He had 17 points last year and 21 the year before, which is still more productive than a lot of our upperclassmen forwards. Gardner’s career high for points in a season is 21 points for some perspective.

They are listed on Schlossman’s blog. “Tentative” but I personally don’t see anything changing with them.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but UND already has a full 11 non-conference games scheduled next season...

5 games.

I think there’s also a perception we may have missed on Minnesota kids (and maybe we have) because a lot of us who post in here are familiar with these players and seen them play and have an opinion on them, whereas recruits coming from Canada and other places there’s less of a familiarity.

I was just making observations - I’m not not trying to be one of the posters complaining about recruiting. I could care less where our players come from to be honest.

Article in the Duluth paper made it sound like Dubuque wouldn’t accommodate the before and after for him. Are we even recruiting in Minnesota? Pipeline is completely dry of anyone from the Twin Cities. It seems we have a tendency to keep pulling from the same junior teams, which I think is lazy.

Exactly. And I’d much rather the kid realize it before getting to campus. If you’re not all in, this isn’t the place for you.

Did you read Schlossman’s blog post on this? Donovan hasn’t responded with clarification on his commitment status, so to me that’s a sign of where things are heading.

Are we even talking about how bad this team is if the Western Michigan weekend hadn’t happened the way it did? Like, if we win another 5 games in a row is everyone back on the bandwagon? The next 2 weekends will tell us a lot more about this team than the previous 2 did, IMO.

Brock Nelson.

This is correct. I doubt many have 100% scholarship. My experience was there is quite a few 90% scholarships, very few completely full rides given.

Stratton will sit out all of next season and the first 10 games of the 2020-21 season before he can play. He can just practice.

Jumping in to mention that I believe I interpret this deal is good from 10-5 on Black Friday. (Would have to confirm ) Also, outside of that sale, tickets are $25 and Subway has a $5 off coupon, so maybe you could use both?

It’s happened before during the Hakstol years, so I didn’t think anything of it, I guess.

Shaw was out recruiting- so I’m not sure why we’d talk about it? Unless you know something we don't... if so feel free to share with the group

I was hoping you were right the first time, not gonna lie...
