Interesting as Bubba was in Fargo today and said Luke's MRI was this afternoon at which time they will determine if he needs surgery, rehab or both?

Derek Forbort is the only one I can think of.

Tomek just sat out a year so if he transferred he would be out another year unless he went back to juniors.

Not sure I agree with Boeser/Schmaltz take. I think Boeser has a more dynamic game and he was certainly able to be dominate against college players as was Nick. The difference I saw between them that would tell me that Nick is slightly ahead at this point was how their respective games translated against elite players at the World Juniors this year and I think Nick certainly looked more comfortable in that setting against elite players as Brock sometimes had trouble finding open space and getting his shot off. Just my opinion and I think that staying would not hurt either one of them. If Stecher gets a max contract offer as a free agent it is probably in his best interest to sign now and I would wish him the best as he has gave UND everything he has for 3 years. For the drafted guys, Keaton, Poolman, and Ausmus it really comes down to how much the teams with their draft rights value them and the relationships they have with them currently and if they are worried about them going the free agent route. All 3 would definitely benefit from another year of college. Of the 3 I would guess that poolman is the biggest flight risk due to age and Keaton should stay partially due to his young age.

Average goals per game by conference Big 10---7.1 Atlantic--5.6 ECAC---5.1 HE---5.5 NCHC---5.7 WCHA--5.0 Michigan scored 5.4 goals per game in Big 10 play and 4.1 goals per game outside of Big 10 play. Minnesota scored 3.8 goals per game in Big 10 play and 2.9 goals per game outside of Big 10 play.

Now on a different network!

If I have time I will run the numbers again, but off the top of my head there was 1.5 more goals per game in big 10 games compared to the rest of the country so that is 4.5 gravy points a game for the taking.

$275k is a nice chunk of change.

Brock Boeser ‏@BBoeser16 3m3 minutes ago I am looking forward to coming back to UND for my Soph season to defend our NCAA National Championship!

Yuck. Only thing worse would be if they went to Pittsburgh. I was hoping the fact that they have Boeser's rights would make him consider staying and going the free agent route.

Dude. If you are getting schooled by Darrell it might be time to sit this one out or at least take a lap.....Christ, that has to be embarrassing.

Maybe they grabbed a different flight. Schlossman had reported that him and Tomek were ill and did not fly with the team on the charter?

He was ill and didn't make the trip.

It's like a watered down version of a watered down beer.

Bring my friend here a Chocolate Choo Choo with an umbrella and tell the waitress not to giggle this time. #girldrinkdrunk

Other than Dell in 2011 and Zane in 2014....no. Lamoreuax, Parise, and Zane all had their worst games of the season and in a couple cases of their careers.

And he is 22 and about to be 23. I would love to jump on the Gopher bashing pile here but this actually looks to be a case where a kid is making the best decision for himself and his future.

Well. Baseball is more of a thinking man's endeavor.

This is a big story. And all of the players that had the opportunity to work out in front of all the NFL personnel yesterday(I heard some didn't make it due to weather and flight issues) can thank Carson as he could have held a pro day where he is working out since he had already been to the combine. Normally if 1 or 2 players at a school like NDSU have some NFL interest you would see maybe 5 or 6 teams show up and a few other guys get an opportunity to get their numbers and measurables on paper. I haven't seen Will's numbers from yesterday but I know he had some pretty solid numbers when he worked out at Minnesota's pro day. If you think Will should have had more publicity then maybe GF should have sent more media. This is Carson's showcase and he has been pretty gracious and handled it all pretty humbly. I wish the kid nothing but the best and can't believe the nitpicking over this. The people that matter got to see Will in person and that is a benefit to him.

Larry "The Axe" Henning--Gophers Iron Mike Dibiase--Nebraska Rick Steiner-Michigan Bob Backlund--NDSU...not Big 10, but local Randy Gust---UND...another local who jobbed a few matches in the old WWF

This was part of the reason that UND and DU looked to form the NCHC because they had lost the voting block in the WCHA with Wisconsin and Minnesota leaving. There are other financial factors in a league besides scholarship commitment such as advertising, marketing, league staff salaries, etc......so you can close the window.

Financial commitment.

I agree.....but it would keep the Big 12 out of that television market on the East Coast because the Big 12 will take UConn if they don't.. And Notre Dame has been marginalized by the new NCAA playoff football format so remaining independent does nothing for them anymore.

Since we are speculating. I am going to go on a limb and say that the Big 10 will add UConn for hockey and an announcement that Notre Dame and UConn will be joining the Big 10 in all sports.
