So true. I was very, very happy he came here, but he's just not been good. Just isn't getting it done. Flat out.

How so? I'm all ears.

What's BS about it? We rolled for nearly all of that game. The five minute lapse cost us the game. No excuse for that to happen. Awful loss. But what he said was accurate.

It's a "third line" like we used to have back in 2016, IMO. Roll four and let that Sendo line set the hitting pace.

Big fan of these lines. Set the tone with the Sendo line. Play with pace, hit everything that moves.

Pretty crazy that we're 13-6 and near the top of the PWR. Feels like we're set for a deep run as long as we continue to improve.

Haha yep. I was thinking ... either this is going to turn into a motivated Cornell team, or a sloppy one. We'll see! Can't wait.

I can't/won't expand, but their morning skate lacked today. We'll put it that way lol

HA! Well done.

Heard Cornell had an interesting pregame skate today. Let's just say a staff member was not super happy about how they performed this morning.

Second half kicks off! Pumped to watch tonight. Urgency ... right from the drop. 6-2 win Sandy, Gaber, Juddy x2, Kleven, Portz

I don't see any reason why he wouldn't come back to UND for the stretch run. If he wanted to start his pro career early, he would have left after his freshman year, IMO.

Next year? Not a lot for D-men. Forwards will be fun with Blake, McLaughlin, and Strinden. We'll need an impact D-man from the portal, IMO. The next year we'll have Livanvage and Strathmann. Perron coming in for forward looks like he'll be a special player.

Minus the gold medal in last year's WJC?

I'm fine with his opinion and it's rooted in love for our team, but it's the frickin' Olympics lol.

I mean, it seems like your point has shifted a bit a few times, but yes, we all understand that it's a bit of "risk" to go there. The issue I have is that you keep glossing over the fact that this is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and making it about how you feel about UND's chance to win a national championship. If this was something a kid has wanted his whole life, worked his sack off for, and you don't think he should go because of your personal hopes, that is bothersome and why I say the thought process lacks perspective.

LOL let's not do that in this thread. No one honestly knows if the Olympics are gonna go.

What a wonderful reference. You win my gold star for the day. I legit LOLed.

Just out of curiosity, would you say any of this to this kid's face? We all want Sandy to help up bring home hardware, man. But, this thought process lacks so much perspective.

Todd Mileweski's tweet made a lot of sense -- if NCAA head coaches are saying yes, it's a pretty solid signal that the players will be on board as well.

I was told we're certainly trying and the current guess/speculation/stove talk is he's heavily considering Providence.

Spinning this as a positive, UND is still where they are in spite of this. I'll bet my house he won't do that again in the second half.

Consider this a quasi-recruiting visit.

World Junior Championships, eh? So much for this thread.

Absolutely. Kids experiencing this will definitely have a new perspective on what could happen. Nonsense all around.
