I could see Poolman turning into a solid player. Casey Johnson is another one, who I would expect to show significant improvement between this year and next year.

ok, I was pretty hard on the team in most of my posts this past weekend. That being said, I think pretty much any criticism given was deserved. The young players looked inexperience and outmatched. Cam looked way off, granted he had no defensive help. Gage looked slow and lost. Shaw was terrible, 2 assists on Sat.... for Duluth. All around, we looked like Omaha did against us. Guys were just standing around. Credit to Duluth, they kept UND in check and gave us no room to operate. They pretty much won every puck battle. Looking forward, the team needs to forget about this past weekend, and focus on improving. The last time we almost missed the tourney was the 13-14 season. We had some ugly stretches during that season as well. I believe at about the same point in the season the team was sitting at (12-8-2) we are currently (13-9-3). Now we snuck into the tourney that year, but also made a run to the Frozen Four and even though we lost to the Goofs, we were playing Championship caliber hockey. If UND can get back on track this weekend, they have some very winnable series coming up. Won't be a year we are fighting for a #1 seed, though that doesn't matter as quite as much, as we would be in Fargo, which is a pretty nice advantage. Need to start playing complete games and hit the NCHC tourney hot. That tourney hasn't been to kind to UND, but maybe that changes this year. Obviously, it would be nice to be in a position to get an at large bid without having to worry much; but I would definitely like to see us finally win that tourney and get the auto bid.

NORTH DAKOTA vs. UMD - SATURDAY Gameday ********

Agreed, but playoffs are a whole different beast. Holy Cross didn't want anything to do with the Gophers. They're have been plenty of other scenarios where the big upset has happened. UND is always dangerous as a low seed, because the talent and potential is always there. Just like when we snuck into the tourney a few years ago. This is why the NCAA tourney is so awesome, literally any team can win it. -
Defensive recruits are making me a little nervous right now, especially with how porous our current group seems to be. I know we were pampered last year, but it would be nice to get the group to somewhere between where we are now, and where we were last year. Hopefully they guys are learning a lot this year, and step up next season.

I don't think there has been anything official yet. Speculation has been that if Arnell didn't receive one, Clive almost definitely won't. Never know with the NC$$ though.

Glad to hear Adeoti committed, and the new still sounds positive on Ott, though I'll feel better on signing day. A little nervous that we haven't heard from any of the OL yet. Obviously Bull is a long shot, as he was committed to Fresno State, but he still took a visit this weekend, which had to mean there was an outside chance. Rousemiller is a bit curious, as UND seems to be his only offer, other than a PWO at MN. I wonder if we'll hear something today or tomorrow. Maybe they kid just wanted to digest his visit and talk with his family. Getting this one would make me feel a little better though.

Wouldn't blame him. They play like champs. We would have lost to huntsville the way we played. -

Maybe this is the year where a team dominates us, then we beat them in terms conference or national tourney. Maybe? -

Agree so much. Cam didn't deserve the start or the record. Tomek or Rink would have been smarter. Cam needs a break for a while. Also thought cole should be. -

Serious question, not trying to troll ... but would a second half Hakstol team be more prepared than this, or is this purely a lack of skill? -

Cam needs to sit for a weekend. Looks like shaw does too. That's two turnovers by him that have turned into goals. -

We've seen this team play well and we've seen how good they can be. Based on this weekend, we don't even belong in the tourney. -

Should be more worried about his team's play right now. -
I thought FBS was all full, no partial. Not sure if bull was a PWO though

Uff, this team looks so bad this weekend. Zero pressure on the shooter there. -
Kelly was a Dink. So glad he is gone.

I voted for him, but, Trump is inaugurated and we play like crap. Obama was president and we won a championship. Sh!t, now I'm questioning everything. -

But we're North Dakota, everything should fall into place every year. Wasn't that is the Freshman handbook?
