Exactly. Lots of intensity and a lot of fun for all involved.

Kind of hahaha

I'm having withdrawals. We need a UND vs. US Under 18 thread.

NHL.com writers picking the U.S.: https://www.nhl.com/news/usa-predicted-to-repeat-as-2018-wjc-winner/c-294287360?tid=281266438

I just don't agree. I'm definitely not enthralled with Dylan Sandberg. Whatever, I guess.

As you should. This is the crap that makes real claims look like garbage and make us all doubt these things. Plus, now Bucci has this stain on his life forever. Just awful. Exactly. Makes me sick.

I sure hope so.

I like our chances. It feels like Monty and Granato have eyes on the NHL. Berry probably does, too, but I don't feel it's as urgent. To me, this feels like a big advantage.

See this is the disconnect... what defines dismissive in this situation? It's asinine to compare UND and SCSU side by side and to say that are on our level. It's simple facts. However, I've yet to see one indication that anyone is silly enough to suggest SCSU shouldn't exsist, just that they aren't as good as us now. Could they get to that point? Yes. What is being said of these "have nots"? That they don't compare to our history? If that's it, some on here are way too thin skinned. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to lie and say were not one of the best. That's stupid.

Any rumblings as to where he's going?

Ok, good. Thanks for clarifying

When better sign Rizzo soon so this madness can end. Can we be arrogant if that happens? Or can we not because that can't happen in college hockey? I'm really not sure anymore

I'm still wondering where you're seeing this arrogance. So, does any program in college hockey have the right to be, then?

Ummm, is this facetious?

Definitely not disagreeing and I think this is probably a VERY common thing in the sports media world that is wholly driven by males. However, these two situations look completely different and to me, it looks like she's grasping for straws once she realized her Bucci nonsense got called out.

Na, not really.... seems like she's trying to change the story. She got busted when ESPN called her bluff and released the texts. Now, she's making it about ESPN's "culture".... attacking something that neither side can prove. Not saying Bucci is a saint or this whole thing doesn't happen, but this woman is proving to be a pretty vile human, from what I am seeing.

I've literally never seen this. Not calling you out, honestly, I just want to know what you're seeing as we posters saying this. What IHTINB said is not inferring, nor suggesting, that SCSU shouldn't exist, it's just saying our tradition is stronger and that's carrying through.

Just the A, huh? Dang.

Chris Porter?

OK, so what's the problem here?? NOTHING IHTINB said was controversial. He made one wise crack about it being adorable that a recruit would pick another program over UND, but that's it. We're all so worried about what other fans think about us. We should be PROUD that we are who we are. We are one of, if not THE premier program in our sport and no, a team that has less national tournament WINS than we have NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, is NOT on our level ("On our level" is different than how they are doing this year) and is NOT a powerhouse (Being a powerhouse program is a reflection of long-term success). Can St. Cloud get there? Absolutely. Nothing was said to the contrary.

I don't even know if it's chemistry, per say, but just that Rocco was just always a half step ahead of the play and his linemates couldn't ever catch up mentally. Rocco was always going full speed, no matter what and that got him in trouble, at times.

In short, he realized he can do better. Not necessarily a slam on ASU, just is what it is.

Yeah, I think he'll be 19-20

Welp, if the kid works as hard as he says he does, he'll get that pull up in no time!
