78 Million....sign me up as a bust.

Who were the other finalists for the job?

Hard to say with hockey as a bad bounce can turn a game and in a 1 game eli mination that can end the season. If i was a betting man, wait I am, I would have had UND at 2-1 to win the national title in 2020 and Cornell at 4-1 and the field at 20-1.

How about Sparklers?

I was in school during the Hrkac Circus championship team. The following season we had quite a bit of turnover as we lost several players early to Professional hockey. People forget that Hrkac, Joyce, Belfour, and Kidd all could have returned for the 87-88 season. The 86-87 team averaged 5.5 goals a game and gave up 2.6. In 87-88 we were a .500 team going 21-20-1. Team scored 4.2 goals a game and gave up 3.7 goals and save percentage was under .895. IN 88-89 we were 22-18-1 and scored 4 goals a game while giving up 3.3 a game. Jason Herter, Dixon Ward, Dane Jackson, abd Justin Duberman were all freshman on this team. In 89-90 we were 28-13-4 and scored 5.6 goals a game(more than the Hrkac Circus) and allowed 3.8 a game and the goaltending was not good. Greg Johnson and Dave Hakstol arrived on campus this season. In 90-91 we were 24-17-2 and scored 4.8 a game while giving up 3.9 a game. Lost Blais and Serratore as assistants and didn't really bring in any big recruits. Goaltending remained an issue with save percentage under .880 as we still have not replace Belfour 4 years later. Gino's dual role as athletic director has caught up with the program and the loss of great recruiters would set the tone for the final 3 years of the Gasparini era. I will say that Gasparini did hit some home runs in coaching hires for men's and women's basketball, baseball, and football during his tenure. We also lose Cary Eades as an assistant. 91-92 the slide really starts as we go 17-21-1 and scoring drops to 4.3 a game and we give up 4.9 a game and save percentage is under .880 92-93 is the bottoming out at 12-25-1 as scoring drops to 3.6 a game and our defensive numbers are n ot even posted on Hockey DB. 93-94 is the rock bottom as we go 11-23-4 and scoring drops to 3.1 a game and we give up 4.3 a game. 2 seasons for Blais to right the ship and we are back.

Smart play by UND. CC goes with 1 forward and 2 dmen for the opening shift. UND gets control, sneaks Blake in and a couple nice rotations and movement and we still get Blake isolated on a forward.

NCHC officiating was focused on sticking it to WMU last night.

Yes. he plans on transferring to a D1 school. I have afriend who refs that conference and he said he sticks out tlike a sore thumb in that division. I would love to see him at UND but would also think it would be cool if he landed a P5 Scholarship somewhere. He certainly fits a school like Craighton.

Good info. I wasn't sure if they broke the tie for fourth first?

Yes. Need NDSU to lose. I think the tiebreak goes to record against the 4th place team. If NDSU wins I don't think we can get there. Would need USD to lose to UMKC and Denver to beat Omaha which would create a tie for 4th-5th which USD would win since they were 2-0 against ORU and DU was 0-2 against them and we split with USD while the bison swept them.

Beautiful this time of year!

It is amazing they haven't already offered to be honest. Hometown kid and all your neighbors are checking him out.

Anyone know if UND is looking at Jackson McAndrew from Wayzata? 6-8 Junior with range. Father played at UND on our best D2 teams. Is a 3 star and has interest from Northern Iowa, Craighton, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Xavier, and others. His father has strong ties to Craighton(McDermott) and N. Iowa(Ben Jacobson) but it seems like this is a kid we should offer just to hopefully be in the mix.

Always thought the phone in the shitter was a nice touch.

With the only shot of getting in by winning the conference tournaments and since we are traveling anyway I would much rather travel to Omaha and play on a regulation sized sheet instead of the Olympic ice at the Herb. Last week of season could be interesting with potential back to back matchups sinc UMD finishes regular season at SCSU and could very well return their the following weekend and UND hosts UNO with a vry possible the following weekend in Omaha.

Davies wins it

Davies and North heading to 4th OT

Just the FB people I believe. That is a college hockey CFB major. In the NHL/AHL the ref just looks at the guy who turns into a hit he knows is coming and calls him a dumbass.

is 7 too many?

Half?

Do you? After this weekend, 27 of 33 games(counting exhibition games) have been on NCHC TV. 2 games on Bally's(road games at Minnesota) and now 3 of our games on CBS Sports Network and 1 game was at Bemidji with no TV.

Father

Not too mention that the value of a college degree, other than very specific fields of study(accounting, med school, law school, engineering, etc.), is decreasing by the day.

I was talking about the penalty on Friday night. As far as Saturday night it was a penalty in my opinion. The only question I had was how as it called? Was it a linesman informing a ref or was it a challenge from the Denver bench? Have not heard which if either of these things led to the penalty call because both referees obviously missed it.
