Back in the day, it was the ONLY one with reputation 😉

Of course there is. I said it jokingly. I forgot the sarcastic font lol. Every team does it. With that said, my goodness, hearing things at Joe Black's is NOT worth anyone's time on here.

So, this would be tampering, so if anyone has any real background on this, that would be great.

Was it warm in there?

Combine this with xG and you will make @Oxbow6 implode 😄

Fair enough, man. I'm not doubting who or what you know!

Lol cute.

The conversation was about GMs and scouts guiding players away from UND and that players would leave at GMs and scouts behest. So, that was why I spoke about that.... you know, since it was part of the conversation. Goodness.

Patently untrue? I guess you and I are hearing from different people lol. I've not heard of one single scout who it pushing kids away from UND.

Sure, but the premise was that advisors and GMs are swaying players to leave UND. I don't think that's happening whatsoever. Leaving money on the table is one thing, but leaving just to go to another school is another. I have no reason to doubt your source. That doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Simply because Berry comes back? No. This isn't just my opinion, it's of what I've heard.

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but NHL scouts love UND. We're still very much appreciated as a program that develops players into pros. I have no doubt that that image will diminish if things don't improve, but as of right now, the NHL loves how UND develops players.

Just talked to two people about this this past week. Sounds like everything is currently on track for him to play next year. I will remain hopeful.

Care to wager?

Big Z is the obvious choice. Strinden, James, and Liver get the As.

LOL can we not do this? It's pure speculation.

No, no. Facebook.

I'm defending Berry in many situations, but I'll NEVER understand this. Why does criticism make someone not a fan? Such a stupid premise.

Are you saying you've heard this?

So pumped for him. I was disappointed her wasn't on the initial roster, so this is pretty darn cool.

Apparently "these kinds of things" isn't broad enough when I described situations. You're right. This only happens at UND. My apologies 🙄

It was onto Columbia lol. I won't say how I know, but I 100% know 😆

HA! I HIGHLY disagree with this. Indeed I've seen it first hand. Is this situation good? No. But good lord, let it be what it is. This kind of stuff happens every year with every program, but it almost never gets out. We've had situations like this in big time seasons before. Call a spade a spade... if we were winning, this situation is basically a nothingburger.

Nothing wrong with having hope despite the grossness around here the past few weeks.

Isn't that normal around here? LOL
