    I'll take the Northwood excuse, but going all the way to Aneta just to come back to Sharon? Why not drop to Hatton then over to Finley. Nice little pub at Golden Lake in the summers. ;) 

    I also should say that being the good person i am.....or was, I would sometimes stop and vist my Grand Parents and then meet my Uncle and Cousin at the Brass Rail for one.

    FYP. ;)

    And no, no, no ... down to ND 200, Mayville, Portland, west edge of Portland south to Clifford, then county highway west to Hope then ND 32 then south to Helmer's ... I mean Oriska. ;) 

    Parents are from Northwood originally so was conditioned to this route. Not sure why I said North instead of south?

    Everybody who's anybody knows that ain't in the patch.

    That's Helmer's Bar (and Strip Club) in Oriska, ND. How do I know that? I've driven ND 32 a couple times. No further comment. 

    @NDRA is that what you were thinkin'? 

    IYKYK

    May have stopped there on way home to Bismarck from UND a few times.....depends who is asking.

    Shortcut home. Thompson exit, HWY 15 west past Northwood, North on 32 through Aneta, Finley, Pillsbury and Oriska...last buidling on the left before jumping back on 94 and heading west.

    How many coaches have left? Still looking for an answer.

    Interesting that numerous posters here advocating to hire young up-and-coming coaches who move on after a few years for greener pastures.

    Pawlak -- by all accounts a young talent -- moves on from und after 5 years and the sky is falling.

    They aren't moving on or up to greener pastures......just moving to a different part of the pasture.

    So this also applies to Eric Schmidt then too right? Jake got an offer to go to the Alabama of FCS.....just like Schmidt dumped his new school and position to go to Alabama. 

    I'm sure every one of us in Jakes position would have stuck at UND when Bubba is probably gone in a year and OC is probably gone too....verses go to the top dog with more security and more money. I'm sure we would have all stuck loyal to our new job we had for 8-10 days and say screw the amazing opportunity. 

    It totally sucks for sure, but I can't blame him. But I sure will rooting against him hard when playing SU. 

    Pretty sure Schmitty is in San Diego.

    I got the notice of the weekly Champion Club lunch in GF this week. I didn’t notice DU coach Carle on the speaker agenda. I live out of state and have never been to one of these lunches, but remember seeing that the opposition coach was sometimes invited. I saw a video of Gwazdecky speaking to the group once. 

    Have made afew of these.

    Pro Tip--if we are playing Air Force in hockey that weekend, do everything you can to make it. Serratore is highly entertaining!

    I missed being able to watch most of the game and I noticed the clowns didn't get a single penalty. Did they get away with stuff or did they genuinely play clean?

    Probably got away with a little but they did have the puck most of the night so we probably got away with a few as well.

    Didn't the color guy do the color on the Dodgeball movie?

    Geno is pretty funny. Used to play softball against him and his brother back in the day. Can't be easy doing color while simultaneously explaining rules and simple terms to your play by play guy.

    Disappointing as it is we don’t have the horses this year to make a run. Especially with our forwards committed to not playing D for one second. We do not have one single tough defenseman. Frankly, not even one good one. Not one single guy on this team plays like Genoway, or Stecher, or Pattyn, or Spirko, or Parise, or Sanderson. Who’s the heart? No one. Unless I’m blind there is not one single try hard on this team. We need try hards.

    We do not have, and will not have in the future, ever again, the way recruiting is going, gopher talent that beats try-hard talent. Think about what our D looks like next year. We need talent that simply is not here or coming here (or ever coming here) and that’s assuming the whole back end doesn’t transfer out again. Johannes is our toughest player-what the hell is going on here?
     

    Where are the Blood and  Finley and tough SOBs that are apparently not recruited, but maybe they don’t exist? I know the NCHC didn’t let Kleven play, but does that mean we can’t ever hit again? (No offense Stoney, and I love ya, your optimism here is something needed and that I love-I mean it) but Brad: 1) has recruited exactly 0 first round forwards in NINE fucking years—imagine that happening with Hak who brought in 1-3 most in years (and when he didn’t, D were at least studs); 2) has brought in exactly one gamebreaker, Jake Sanderson, in nine years, who despite being one of the best college hockey players of all time, had the misfortune of being injured at inopportune times;); and 3) does not have studs, and will almost certainly not ever have studs, to compete with the other blue bloods the way things are going, because he is simply unable to recruit with the top schools like hak was. And more importantly, he is not, and has not, ever gotten the best out of his players. Losing in close playoff games is not some sign of competence like most people here seem to have accepted. 
     

    UND should not be a second rate school as far as recruiting goes and it is exactly what we are under Brad. If it is NIL-which it is not as far as I am aware-Dinkyown hasn’t really caught onto yet either. We need a coach who can rally the donors to get on board with NIL mongo stud recruits. We do not have the horses to fix this next year, or the year after that. We are getting murdered in recruiting by BC, BU, MN, Michigan, Michigan State, Denver, and frankly second-rate east coast schools. This is indisputable-15 years ago our alma mater was THE spot to go, it is not anymore, and I wish we had a coach who could sell it like hak. Schloss  spews his “look how 0 first round players won the last couple years championships” without ever mentioning the talent in 2016. Or that Rand Pecknold is a great x and o coach-which Brad unfortunately is not. I know I am not alone in feeling this way. Brad Berry is a great person and anyway who has ever met him knows that. But that is not enough. Winning the conference of 8 does not matter to most of us. In Bismarck the alumns have had enough of schloss’ obsequiousness to take it seriously. Winning one tournament game in 9 years is simply pathetic and Brad should have been fired after he demonstrated his ability by bringing in 18-19 classes highlighted by Joel Janitunniun and Ludwig Hoff

    Great video on Tyler Kleven.  It is not what I expected just reading the title.  Nice piece on Tyler Kleven… 

     

    Belleville and Toronto had a interesting game tonight. Toronto won 8-0 to end Belleville's 7 game winning streak. Their was a combined 159 penalty minutes in the game and Tyler Kleven accumulated....checks stats, zero penalty minutes.

    AD doesn't set the lineup. 

    They concentrate on getting a few coaches from the main seasons in progress (hockey and WBB this week) and sprinkle in minor sport coaches to fill it. 

    Bubba will likely speak after the next signing day. 

    Had fan luncheon at Suite Shots in Fargo on Tuesday.

    Had Sather, Vahrenkamp, Boysen, and Goehring.

    From what I’ve heard he told them when he was drafted he didn’t want to play for the Flyers. 

    Not what I have heard. They contacted him before drafting him and he indicated he was excited to be a Flyer. Later says in interview that with his style of play he was born to be a Flyer. 

    I think he expected to sign after his freshmen season and when he found out that wasn't the plan he skipped the prospect camp and hasn't spoken to or communicated directly with Philly for at least 3 months.
