I completely disagree I would love to have a d corps of Ausmus-Stecher, Thompson-J.Schmaltz, and Poolman-LaDue every game next season.

Looking back at when guys announced their decisions last year and for most it was about 4 days after the Frozen Four so hopefully we will know who is coming back and who is signing sometime this week.

Just think how different it all could have been if Providence would have been forced to travel to Fargo and play UND in the 1st round like they were supposed to instead of the committee keeping them home for attendance purposes.

Exactly.

Correct he is a solid player some Gopher fans might have expected more scoring from him but he hasn't been bad for them.

Cammarata did a lot of floating around the neutral zone getting hit for breakaway passes in the USHL and basically only focused on offense that was a big part of his high point totals in the USHL you can't get away with that in the college game.

I would expect his brother Matt to sign there after worlds are over as well.

My guess is Jephte Matilus. I just noticed he isn't on the Spring roster was an LB until last Fall when he moved to FB to try to get more playing time but ended up 3rd on the depth chart there playing some on special teams.

That's probably the right play by Schmaltz in that situation we had 2 guys on the puck you hope they win the battle and get the puck back to Schmaltz for a shot to the net. Its not like he was backing out of the zone and just trying to prevent an empty net goal he was in a position to receive a pass and get the shot on net but unfortunately our 2 guys lost the board battle.

Yeah that's it its not like it could have actually happened. Your genius adjustment would have probably been to tell the team to score more goals.

It was Michigan playing their best game of the season and Hunwick standing on his head with some help from the iron against UND and them playing an average game against Duluth.

You mean the Michigan game that we completely dominated and controlled what would have been the coaching adjustment you would have made in that game?

Comparing NDSU football and UND hockey doesn't make a whole lot of sense either NDSU football doesn't play at the top NCAA level of their sport while UND hockey does.

It also is a lot easier to land high end recruits when you are making the Frozen Four very often and getting to the NCAA tournament every year I would have thought a guy who "invests" so much into the program would realize that too.

The Gophers only have 2 FBs so I wouldn't think 1 of them would be transferring. Looking at the LB group one possibility would be Cedric Dicke who is a walk-on that will be a JR next year and has not played at all for the Gophers.

I would think Yon plays another year in Fargo.

Who do you consider the blue chippers because Hak has landed a number of them and there are more coming in next season? They created a number of chances off the rush as well as through the cycle game and had some real good shots last night. There isn't a lot I would have changed about the style of game we played last night aside from about 10 minutes in the 1st period.

Replay of last nights game is just starting on ESPNU if anyone wants to watch it.

So fans are settling because they aren't stupid enough to want one of the best coaches in college hockey fired? Everybody is disappointed we haven't won a title in a while.

It isn't only that people don't give him enough credit for 25+ wins it is that he has led us to the NCAA tournament every year and given us a chance at a National Championship is that something every UND coach for the last 40 years has done?

So Hak should get no credit for winning 25 games a year but also get all the blame when we lose in the NCAA tournament? That makes perfect sense Hak is a very good coach and will be a great coach when he wins a NCAA Championship. You can think Hak is "totally replaceable" if you want but it isn't true.

I agree with you I'll take my chances being contenders every year.

Yeah its not like he has any better idea of what kind of coach Hak is and what he can do than some poster on a message board that has never been in that locker room or been coached by the guy.

I don't think he had much of a choice he gave Cam a couple starts and if Cam would have been solid in those games he probably would have ended up playing a few more games but he really struggled in his starts and Zane even had to come in to finish those games.

It was a late call from the center ice official I believe to make it even worse.
