Love Littler's game...if he can't find top 6 minutes elsewhere I'd love if he came back to UND. No way he shouldn't have been in the lineup against Wisconsin; come back Cade!
Any chance the coaches were already aware that Littler was leaving which would explain him not playing in a game I think people expected to see him in?

If this is it for UND what a victory. Strathmann is the best of the group and players like him are a dime a dozen in the portal or in the WHL

Pump the brakes on anointing Jan as the next coming of Patrick Roy

I thought thread was going to be the next Big start up? Wonder what happened all the Grand Forks CEDC guys were always whining and dining Josh.
Time for Pete to get the old food truck fired up again?

Horrible play calling. Lets keep throwing to the same guy who is blanketed by #5.

Gimme a team of Jameses, Strindens, Croals, and Littlers and I'll win a lot of games.
On stronger Sioux teams of not so recent past, only James would have cracked the top 3 lines. I like the others as players/contributors but they just can't be something they aren't.

If it hadn't already happened, this marks the unfortunate turning point of when UND became just another one of the good teams in college hockey, no longer elite. Given the current environment of NIL and portal it ain't coming back either. Boisvert is exactly the type of guy that used to define UND. Skilled and plays with an edge. Him leaving is an indictment of how far this program has slid back to the pack.

Not everything you find on the internet is true.
Good point. But another point is 5th year senior captains also aren't healthy scratches for not one but two games down the backstretch of a season especially when the team is struggling to maks the playoffs (at St Cloud series). Often where there is smoke there is fire.

Old news
Not really old news if.....assuming this info is true.....UND loses one or two of its best players via portal due to a 5th year captain that ended up being a cancer off the ice/in the locker room.

Berry has gone stale. A change is in order. I think he showed up at the right time to get the talent over the hump. But its not working anymore.

UND was outplayed. Two bad turnovers/failures to clear the puck were huge by Juberville and Perron that ended up in the back of UNDs net. Underclassmen for sure, but still those are basic fundamental plays that have to happen. Wish Boisvert stays another year but wouldn't blame him for leaving. Pretty much everyone else on this team is replaceable so might be time to blow things up....coaching staff included.

Keep same lines together, but put 29-8-27 as the 4th line on the line chart tonight. Come on Berry, show how you play matters, even with your super special Seniors.
3rd / 4th lines were by far the two best lines last night. Really want things to click for McLaughlin on the 1st line, but they aren’t. Croal should play every game. Who shouldn’t when Perron is healthy? Clearly 29.
I like 29-8-27 playing together. The line isn't necessarily great at defense, but instead of spreading 3 guys that can't score across 3 lines to drag them down you just bite the bullet and have one line you know has no chance of scoring.

I think when alot of people hear casino they have visions of Vegas casinos that are relatively clean....have nice restaurants and spas....and cool concerts/residences by slightly over the hill musicians. That's not the reality for the vast majority of native casinos in the tri-state area. Grand Forks does need growth but this wasn't the way to do it. The community dodged a bullet on this one. Any doubts go visit one of the area casinos sometime. They aren't exactly Circus Circus during their prime.

I honestly think Sacha’s advisor is already sniffing around to see where he can transfer after this season. He may already know or will know soon
Sacha has NHL written all over him. I just hope that when he leaves after this year it is to go pro. If UND loses a guy like hin to another program it's ominous for the future of UND hockey.

Pardon my ignorance, what is the inevitable that will happen?
When they start to look like the other ones in the upper midwest. Maybe this one would be different.

How does Dakota Magic down by the border work?
Obviously not near a larger population base, but similar off-reservation casino scenario.Well there is Thief River Falls casino too. Point being that most of these casinos/"resorts" aren't really that nice or kept up.....you can go down the list. But none of them are close to any cities at least not like the proposed one is to Grand Forks. This isn't an issue exclsuive to native American casinos but seems esprcially prevalent in the upper midwest. Now take that and add to it the fact that the city/state will literally be next to powerless to take any action when the inevitable happens. I'm actually pro-gamimg overall, and if a tribe wants to take a run at being one of the providers so be it.....but none of this sovereign land crap. It's asking for trouble.

Letting a large chunk of land near the city like that go sovereign to Turtle Mountain would be an absolutely horrible idea. Let them invest, see if they can get approval from the state for an exemption to build a casino, give them a long term permit if this thing passes, but for God's sake don't give up total control of that land.

If the tennis programs were losing a million per year they should have been cut years ago. How many of you can genuinely say you have been to...or know someone that has been to a UND tennis game...or watched one being streamed....ever?
