According to Kelly Friesen UND just landed Harrison Blaisdell

In Philly for the frozen four and unfortunately seen the same result I've seen at the other frozen fours I've attended the past decade. Hell of an effort and game by the kids tonight but yet again they fell short. Feel bad for them but I'll admit I feel worse for Hakstol. Guy needs a bounce to go his way one of these years. He has yet to be rewarded for the chapter he is currently authoring in unds storied history. I'll be the first to say he's a hell of a coach, recruiter, and alumnus. Make no mistake, every ounce of his heart is into this program. Hockey in my mind is the greatest sport in the world but she is unforgiving. She can sometimes leave you unrewarded for your efforts, but that's what also leads you back to her. Reaching the pinnacle of any sport will often require you to first have the ability to swallow its bitter defeats. But that is what makes the ultimate goal taste so sweet when you get there

Finally got my plane tickets this morning, 7am out of MSP thursday. Thank god, that was a close one.

Just can't help but wonder if the new conferences play a role in this. North Dakota will still play a lot of games regionally, don't know if that matters or not. But either way, it's always good to irritate our friends in Minneapolis.

Boston College must not realize that "M" stands for mercy! F$#& the goofs

Nope, it's based on early departures. Kind of like it we have forward departures, we have an option to bring in a couple other recruits there. Jones decision has no bearing on other recruits. Jones would be a bonus. When Ladue committed, he was 2013 unless there are early departures.
Seems reasonable
-
Agree to disagree I guess, but remember Ladue is listed as a 2012 or 2013 and that makes it reasonable to conclude that his status is based soley on Jones's decision.

can't resist:
Nelson-Knight-Kristo
MacMillan-Grimaldi-Parks
O'Donnell-Rowney-Rodwell
St. Clair-Gleason-Koules
Forbort-MacWilliam
Simpson-Schmaltz
Mattson-LaDue
Obviously a complete guess but with the energy Gleason showed the last month at forward I can see it being very tempting to leave him there, he may not have the scoring touch but he brings a hell of a forecheck to the table. The jones thing is a mystery so I think they'll end up bringing in ladue, He'll be 20 when the season starts I believe and he is having a nice year in Lincoln. Probably be a rotation with Panzerella but it seems LaDue may have a little more to offer offensively. I think pattyn, gaarder, and senkbeil may get some love early but young talent will be hard to leave on the bench when you are trying to develop it. Also MacMillian will be available in January and Dickin has experience too, so some of these freshmen "fillers" this year will be battling for pt as sophmores. Sounds harsh but a Hak & co. have to put the best lineup out there that they can.

There definitely won't be more discipline. It wasn't that bad of a hit.
I don't think there should be either, I've seen worse. But the league works in mysterious ways.
-
He glided, though. That's not a penalty. If he's taking strides into him it's charging, but when he just glides it should be nothing.
Kinda agree with your glide theory after watching it again, but I'm not sure if there is any "glide allowance" in the rulebook. Either way it was late and it was blind. We can argue all night on the perception of the hit especially since we see it different ways due to our respective allegiances, but if I know the WCHA he could be looking more discipline depending on the severity of the injury. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with more punishment but that's just how this kinda stuff always seems to work.

Honestly, I see nothing wrong with Rau's other than it was very late. Give him a 2 minute interference and that's it. I've had a few Sioux fans that are friends of mine call me and say the same thing. Rau doesn't leave his feet and hits Zucker in the chest. Probably knocked the wind out of him.

Edit: No officials put their arms up until they saw Zucker was hurt either.
He skated half the length of the ice though man and never slowed down
-
5-2 DU, although I can't get excited because I hate their guts.
Agreed, I think I hate Denver more
-
I wonder how lapanta and loser gorg would have reacted if that was a sioux hit on a gopher. Either way that was a cheap shot by a little bit**. DU won't forget it either, he better have his head on a swivel tomorrow
-
I wouldn't be concerned about Schmaltz de-committing. Now with his brother coming here as well, and with the UW debacle under him, I'd think he's coming for sure.
Now Matteau...that I'm not so sure about...
Agreed. I think Matteau is a big risk as Brad has reported: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=88314

Does anyone know why Brad hasn't added Luke Voltin and Luke Johnson to the Committed Recruits tab on his blog? Heisenberg doesn't have either listed on his recruiting spreadsheet either.

Brad just posted on twitter that Jordan Schmaltz has blown off Windsor and will return to the USHL next year followed by UND in 2012. This is a pretty major victory considering his stock is pretty high for the 2012 draft.
-
Hextall would be one I didn't see coming.
Me neither, that will hurt, he would be a big team leader next without a doubt. Would also be nice to Blood and Forbort together again next year too. But we could be on the verge of a mass exit.
-
Don't know if it's been posted elsewhere but Devils Lake's Keaton Thompson has accepted an invite to the NTDP next year. Big accomplishment for the ND product, and it's nice to know he desires to play for the sioux.
-
Jordan Schmaltz is leading all defensemen in the USHL in points and goals. Nick Mattson is tied for second in points for defensemen. Schmaltz seems to really have hit his stride and will only get better with another year in the USHL.
I wish Schmaltz was coming in next year. He turns 18 in October and like you said he has really hit his stride in the USHL. My only guess is that he must still be a junior in high school and not academically available yet. But with the threat of Windsor out there it would be nice to get him to UND asap.
-
Will be in club level with 3 of my best "Sioux" friends. Is it next week yet?

Big jump and big praise for Grimaldi in the latest ISS rankings. I think concerns about his size are fading and the concern about one and done my be increasing: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/12807/iss_top30_risers_and_fallers_february2011/
