Met his mom(Jayson Shaugaby's sister FYI) on the night of the NCHC Semifinals vs UMD, very nice. She said communication with UND had been few and far between since Jax took over. She said of course he wanted to play for UND but didn't sound like he felt very wanted with new coaching staff(my words) and they asked him to wait a year when he was ready to be done with junior hockey. Actually mentioned they were going to visit with SCSU after that game but I'm sure Larson going to UofM threw a bunch of that in the air. Wish him the best.

Anyone want to bet against Zellers having 25 goals next season?

My biggest concern is replacing the 45 goals and 104 points put up by Strinden, James and Rickwood last season. Would need some guys to make some jumps next year if we aren’t getting a 15+ goal scorer in the portal

Littler gonna be a 1st liner at this clip

I'd say he brings a lot more to the table than this post did. Imagine saying an NCHC underclassmen that had 21 points, was the top penalty killer for said team, and is a 2 way 6'1" two-way forward(+9) brings NOTHING to the table.

Ok, just got even more excited than I originally was. Have our Zmolek replacement.

I love Littler but top 6? No way, I could see top 9

This program has proven they figure it out. While I know it’s not popular major props go to Bill Chaves and Erik Martinson for making the move when they did. I count myself as someone that was on the fence but after missing NCAAs last year I was ok with a change. It was not the obvious decision everyone on here make it out to be.

I mean, we beat Denver 5-0 and lost 3-2 while outshooting them 71-35 for the series

This is the way

Didn't think this merits an entire thread but anyone have a good UND Hockey playlist or songs to add to a playlist? Have a 5 hour drive late Wednesday night from Phoenix to Vegas I need to stay awake for.

Only acceptable answer

Id put a lot of money that Saturday will be the last competitive hockey game he ever plays

Tampa made me not care about 0.6… plus Union was a wagon that year

Blind squirrel… something something… finds acorn

Abso-freakin-lutely. No better feeling than just enjoying a hockey game you don’t have to stress over knowing your team made the championship game.

Felt the same way in Tampa, just happy to win the semifinals so I could fully enjoy the trip. Will be feeling similar in Vegas next week

It's tough for me to root for either of those. All are terrible options if not UND. I don't envy being a Gopher or UMD fan next weekend

You can't break up that line with Kernan IMO they were absolutely dominant.

What’s the cost? Haven’t got my email yet

Props to Jax for making the move on Verhoeff, still can make an impact but won’t be on the toughest matchups. Can’t lie though that pairing with Strathman makes me nervous

Right before gushing over 19th seed Merrimack some more

I was thinking that I hope UCONN score and then followed by 'no way they can score twice though'

CPS has been called

I think the most important thing is to get pucks on net with either a tip or a screen, we can't try to make this a highlight reel game. Can't be floating wristers unimpeded from the blue line and letting this goalie settle in and get comfortable. I was watching replays of the goals in the 2016 regional... as good as that team was almost all the goals and a tip and/or a screen.
