Regarding his improvement in play, I was speaking about his defense. His offense is fantastic.

I'll say this... he's been really playing lights out the past few weeks. Maybe that changes the equation and he comes in? We'll see.

Exactly, so I just don't understand why he would listen to you, or anyone else for that matter, as he makes the decision. He and the staff are on the same page. I understand there's some precedence, but those previous two situations seem very different than this one. This isn't a shot at you, in the least bit. It's just a confusing conversation. He doesn't think he's ready, his advisors don't think he's ready, and UND is completely fine with him staying another year. He comes in this season, he's in a suit nearly every weekend, burning a year he'd be here. Another year of seasoning and he comes here next year with plenty of ice time opportunities

He's the one who wants to stay. He believes he's not ready. UND agrees it's smart he's doing this planning.

Solid run for me lol

Nope. That's exactly how the portal is supposed to work. Coaches do not initiate contact unless the player is already in the portal. They have a good idea of who could, however.

I personally wouldn't trust Rand Pecknold.

Feels like the intention was to say that Michigan isn't the only team that's being aggressive, but the entirety of the article was discussing an accusation of cheating. So frankly, whether it was intentional or not, it came off as the author accusing UND and Michigan State of the same thing Michigan was doing.

Certainly looks like this kid can take things over. Some have knocked him because he got a lot of his points playing with Celebrini. Well, he's gone at the U-18s....

My guess is that he got knocked because he played with Celebrini, but it's laughable to think he's not all-USHL.

LOL ok.

How about a space where we don't say the same crap, over and over and over and over? That's what I'd like to be safe from.

Yo, Mods.... this is way off track. Watching every hockey thread devolve into this is getting old.

Legit not worth your time, unfortunately.

Dude, are you ok? My goodness.

Nope. Only Bubs. Nope.

HA! Not sure how I missed you. I actually have you at 39 and I counted a few times, but math is hard. If you have yourself at 38, let me know what I'm missing lol. I've updated the standings.

Leaders through 4/24 1) @Blackheart - 50 2) @Goon - 44 3) @andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! - 41 4) @The Sicatoka - 40 t-5) @sioux rube - 39 t-5) @iluvdebbies - 39 t-5) @petey23 - 39 t-8) @tnt - 38 t-8) @nhockey30 - 38 10) @stoneySIOUX - 34 11) @farce poobah - 26

Yep. We all know. We've been told DOZENS of times.

I was bored today, so here you go. Leaders going into night 5: 1) @Blackheart -- 27 t-2) @Goon -- 26 t-2) @petey23 -- 26 t-4) @andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! -- 21 t-4) @sioux rube -- 21 6) @iluvdebbies -- 20 7) @stoneySIOUX -- 18 8) @tnt -- 16 9) @nhockey30 -- 13 t-10) @The Sicatoka -- 12 t-10) @farce poobah -- 12

He had a recruiting visit. Just give Bubs credit. It'll be good for you

22 home games, 14 away in the regular season. That feels odd. Am I wrong? I'm not saying I don't love it, but it does feel odd.

Also a pretty great recruiting tool and a way for players who need some ice to get some shifts after the break. Who cares what the dummies like us say on the forums?

You sure? Seems like HG thought Pilgrim was a slam dunk and Bubs didn't do much, based on that comment. Whatever, not a big deal. Just think Bubs deserves his roses every now and then.

In his defense, he did have question marks next to those names, for a little CYA
