Watching Cooley leave 2 months before the season starts:

Probably not but glad they got it hammered out in time for recruiting to open up in a couple weeks.

Big deal for competing for recruits vs Big Ten Schools, great news and great timing!

Got an option to change seats to have all 4 season tickets together in section 102. Which way to seats go up if that makes sense? The seats are 17-24 and I’d like to be closest to the aisle

I'd say more like the Harvard of Stearns County, slight leg up on Sauk Centre

Imagine Fantilli taking Weatherby's spot on that '21-22 team https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/hobey-baker-award-winner-adam-fantilli-says-he-nearly-came-to-und-as-a-16-year-old Could have been the difference we needed to raise #9

Took the words right of my mouth. LIV as a product or a business model was an abject failure on its own merits. It was a vehicle to pump enough money into the sport to leverage the PGA Tour into getting the PIF a seat at the table.

This isn't a merger so much as the PGA Tour absorbing the LIV and it's financial backing. LIV may not even exist going forward in its current form. The insane thing is that none of the players on either side knew about this before reading it on twitter. Talk about a heel turn by Jay Monahan, went from LIV guys are paid by the backers of 9/11 to being completely fine taking their money(I'm guessing it was a lot).

You're misinterpreting what I'm saying, that's cool. Not worth losing sleep over, have a good one

It’s not that deep buddy, I’m not worried about the “history of North Dakota”. I’m wondering what Luke’s experience was actually like at UND. Also, it’s the off-season.

So you don't think Bast was talking about UND in those quotes?

The ones that stuck out to me, didn't realize Matt Wellens didn't quote Bast in the 1st one(wonder why): Bast said he respects that UMD took him out of the transfer portal to fill a void on the roster this season, not to push out any other current players or recruits. He also respect how protective the staff is of the program’s culture. “Everyone talks about culture, like literally every program,” Bast said. “There’s some programs that actually walk the walk and other programs that talk the talk. What I’ve heard from Duluth is they walk the walk when it comes to culture. That was very appealing to me.”

Am I being overly sensitive or was there some veiled shots in those quotes?

It'll be interesting to see how his numbers fare without Shaugabay on his line

Should be no issue for Pilgrim to continue his 2.97 PPG once he gets to UND...right?

Also, they haven’t won the big game despite some on here thinking it was a foregone conclusion either MN or Michigan already had the title in hand.

Last April we were probably already arguing Sioux vs Hawks so it's an improvement.

As much as we bemoan the portal, it sure does make the offseason more interesting around here

Yes, and a crushing end. I believe you can have both. But not finishing will haunt them similar to our 2010-11 season.

I might get that checked

Perhaps the shakeup in Mankato has Berry making a few calls...

The combination of his size, his legacy at UND, and I imagine a dad who tells him exactly what it takes to play in the NHL will keep him here. Probably for 2 more years if I had to put $ on it.

Yes OMac has to be a top 6 guy IMO Schmaltz has to show something next yr

That was kind of my thought too
