As long as we were going with a bird we should have been more specific. Peregrines Fastest bird on the planet. They have had nests at UND and around the area.

We had to settle for his line mate.

I am aware he has visited schools and has offers. I know his famly has close ties with UNI and Creighton and his father played at UND. That is why you make an effort and have a conversation with him and let him know you would love to have him at UND. You never know how things change with coaching changes and the portal options.

I didn't think much of it. I did see Several Gopher staff, like their equipment manager and others thanked and commended the UND staff on their running of the regional.

I am hoping we at least offer his teammate(McAndrew) although after the state tournament he just had he is going to be getting a lot more looks...hell, the Gophers might even notice him. We should at least offer since he is a UND legacy even though I am guessing he will end up at a higher profile school. Tibbits is interesting. He plays a pretty quiet game, takes care of the ball, controls tempo, gets teammates involved and you check the stat sheet at end of game and he has 17-18 points, 6-7 assists, scores pretty efficiently.

Watched a few Century games this year. The first game against Minot he was the best player on the floor. Couple of nice games against Mandan. Century had quite a few blowout wins this season but it seems like in their close games he was their best player in those games.

+7 in a 7-4 game.

Didn't have the heart to tell them that Alaska and Michigan Sate would have been next in, then Notre Dame and Northeastern but I saw one guy thought they should expand the field to 20 for us.

As was I. As Barry Melrose said "If UND and Michigan played 10 times, UND would win 9. Unfortunalely for you guys the one was last night."

Looks like my over under of 11.5 for Big 10 goals in the Regional Finals is looking to hit the under.

Qunnipiac was on power play.

true but I think their huddle was to decide if they wanted to call penalties and make it 4 on 3. What did he embelish? Answer--the late cross check after the whistle. Love tap or not.

Hersey and Sullivan.

So now the NCHC officials use common sense and discretion in making a call.

It might be cyclical as the coaching jobs at the USNDT have become a revolving door to the next coaching job. I know Michigan and Michigan State have pretty close proximity to the program and have several connections so it seems like quite a few kids seem to end up at those schools. Boston U seems to get quite a few as well. Many of the kids playing there are from Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts. A few years back it seemed like many of the kids were going the Major Junior route. Also, many of these kids are not from hockey hotbeds as numerous Minnesota kids have turned down the invite to play there and instead opting to finish their high school careers. The old saying is even more true today with internet, streaming and digital options available....if you are good, they will find you.

There have been several articles written about it. One of them referenced info from Minnesota Athletic Department.

Not when the player on the other team commits a penalty with intent to in injure. And it was a 5 minute so you pretty much roll all your lines anyway.

Kleven, Caulfield, and Frisch ran camps last summer and Kleven was the Rink Live athlete for UND this year. The camps can be a nice chunk of change but by the time they pay their teammates for helping out and renting ice time they are not getting rich.

NIL for hockey even in the Big 10 is minimal at this point. A couple teams have collectives but they don't really generate much. Across the board in college sports you have about 4-5% of Athletes raking in the vast majority of NIL money. At Minnesota, Men's and Women's Hockey and Baseball combined make up less than 5% if NIL money that their athletes take in.

Good catch, but they actually thought they were in a do or die situation to get into tournament that game.

I had a couple Gopher fan friends reach out to me to see if I knew where they could maybe find some tickets. I told them I would look for them because I did not want them to see that Facebook page because of the Embarrassment by Association....Thankfully I did discover over the last couple days that Minnesota has a facebook page as well with a similar cringe factor.

Depends on the penalty is my philosophy. Tripping or Hooking penalty, give some 4th liners some power play time. Slashing or roughing penalty or guys taking runs at our players and I am rolling top units out there.

True......However UMD won the National title in 2017-18 with 1 sophomore and 5 freshmen playing D and a Sophomore Goalie they found in the NAHL who had played in 2 games as a freshman(1 start) and gave up 2,1,1,and 1 in the NCAA tournament after UND beat them for the NCHC title.
