While they're re-routing it'd be cool to get a course designer in there to add a little flare to the course. Liven up the course with some template designs. I'm not asking for Tom Doak but maybe a young local-ish guy that wants to make a name for himself.

It was quite the accomplishment to bring a prominent college hockey coach on your podcast, ask him for his stance on the regional sites, then when pressed on the details of your side you <gesture vaguely at the past> and say I've brought these points up so many times before. I'm not sure he could be more unlikeable if he tried(maybe that's the play for engagement). Truly an old man shaking his fist at a cloud.

Didn’t Carle do this once before? Wodon just a glutton for getting his ass handed to him repeatedly on this topic?

I think the assumption is he'd be able to get as open in the NCHC as he did in the CCHA to get as many shots. I just pictured he'd be more of a Carter Wilkie. And I'm not knocking that, he'd be a great 3rd liner on our team but not top 6 material.

But he didn’t make this decision 2 weeks ago… and also any mention of the coaching change is absent from his statement. Just went back because MTU is “special”. The coaching change gave him the opening to transfer back once he found out he’d likely be 3rd line. Not blaming him, just my opinion.

Funny how he wasn't interested in doing that back in April

My thoughts as well, have we seen someone come from the CCHA to NCHC and light it up? They're usually decent depth, two-way forwards. I think all of our perspectives have shifted a bit when we saw what Chyzyk is able to bring to this program on the recruiting trails.

What was everyone so high on Gordon about? I just trusted there was other factors because his stats dropped off significantly. Was he playing injured last season because he went from 18G 18A to 7G 19A? A nice player for sure but assuming everyone assumed he'd regain his freshman season form while transitioning from the CCHA to the NCHC...

My Laotian wife has never had it but said her friends love the one in Fargo

If Verhoeff is even as close to as dominant(and more importantly bought in) as Sanderson was his sophomores year at UND I will be ecstatic

Thanks for the input Eeyore

Minnesota leans too far to the culture side? Since when?

What a huge get, this really helps fill a gap in a MAJOR way. Unbelievable job to Jax and Chyz

I'm not getting as high on CHL recruits as everyone else until I see them produce. I believe there's been comparison to guys that have played USHL and CHL generally being able to produce at a much higher rate in the CHL after struggling in the USHL.

Haha I love KG and what he’s contributed to this program as a player, a volunteer assistant and an assistant coach. I wish him nothing but the best.

Wish the best for Hobie but he had his shots and could never consistently stop pucks. I think people railed against playing TJ late in the year simply because he's a transfer because there's no way you look at those 2 goalies and say Hobie should've played over TJ. We already have more of a pipeline in Jax' first month of being a coach than we did in the last how many years. Heil and Spunar are both exciting prospects and I look forward to watching goalies develop once again. I wasn't a fire berry guy but a weak spot I always agreed with was that we weren't developing goalies well enough.

Disagree

SS.com thrives on this type of conjecture. Create a rumor then start getting worked up over a made up scenario. It’s like an old ladies knitting circle

Menghini giving off Johannes vibes with how excited he it to play here, hopefully that translates to on-ice performance like it did for Hunter

This is my vote. Ralph would be rocking

One of the wildest tournaments I've seen at any level, so for it to be at The Masters to complete the Career Grand Slam is unfathomable. You couldn't write that script because no one would believe it. And look out Quail Hollow in a month for the PGA. He's freed up and has won there 4 times in his career.

The thing you miss in this is, all of this success benefits UND. It makes us better throughout the season, it helps with recruiting for all NCHC teams, and it makes a huge difference in post-season success(7 of the last 9 titles). If conference success didn’t matter, we may as well be in the AHA right?

Are you suggesting a pattern of "heightism" from Goehring? If true, those are very serious allegations.

I remember thinking he looked formidable against us. Excited to have a big goalie in net.

No way a first year coach wins a national title at UND
