Until something happens of course it's speculation, and that's why I didn't share any names, because I definitely agree that's not real fair. The point is that there's considerable unrest in the locker room and if it doesn't get under control, there could be significant fallout. The players (or at least a subset) have lost faith in Brad and have more appreciation and respect for someone else, and that too is adding to the drama of the situation. If Brad can show true leadership and right the ship, more power to him. I don't want anyone fired as much as I just want to see the program thrive in a positive environment.

Not from any players directly but from someone who has discussions with players. I won't share any names because who knows absolutely how serious any comments might be, but a couple of the names I've heard are people we don't want leaving. Heard some other things about player dissatisfaction that paint a pretty unpleasant picture, which is pretty depressing if there's that much angst.

Berry has lost the team. Sounds like an absolute dumpster fire. People wonder if him going away would hurt recruiting but at this point, for this team, him staying might hurt as much or worse. Open discussions among players about desires to transfer out, and if that happens does that also scare away incoming recruits?

Crazy to see this type of thing referenced twice in the past couple of weeks. I was watching a game the other weekend, maybe ASU/DU, and saw the same thing called. Player was let out early and they stopped play and penalized the team for too many men. According to your posted rule it shouldn't have been a penalty but perhaps NCAA is different.

The problem with the speculated situation is that it messes with the brotherhood of the team and can create division within the room, whereas some of those other situations are just kids doing dumb things that probably got mostly laughed off by the teammates and perhaps even strengthened the bond in the locker room.

For me it’s the stability and positioning, staying upright and in position as much as possible and not flopping into his belly like TJ is prone to do. When push comes to shove, give me the guy that can at least be there to get hit by the puck instead of the one who ends up completely out of position.

These guys really need to do some proofreading before sending stuff out. "horned" to receive an offer? Maybe that'd be a fun play on words if it was regarding the Bison, but doesn't fit the UND context. At least it didn't say "horny"!

Trading Places

Wait, if you always pick UND to lose any game in the tourney, and the team has been having problems with first round exits.....maybe it's time to pick them to win and use that power you have to influence outcomes!

It was announced at the Ralph, along with the passing of a handful of former Sioux guys, and there was a moment of silence. Indeed, Augustana might have been playing for a little more tonight and some extra motivation that had then flying around the ice compared to UND.

"usually 100%" doesn't add up. Either he has always been right (100%) or he's usually right (less than 100%).

Uff, and similarly on the game-losing goal he again didn't protect the slot and didn't do much to prevent the goal. Small sample size and he may be an outstanding player, but if so this wasn't a good game for him.

He has shown some flashes of talent in today's game but has also been a bit sloppy at times.....and I think that was him who could have defended better on the Cathedral game-tying goal late.

Umm, the opposite of what it says I voted for. haha. Should have kicked.

Crap, I hit the wrong button!

Agreed. The stats don’t look great but the eye test was decent. We’ve seen most goalies struggle mightily in their first couple of starts in the Ralph, and by comparison I’d say HH looked plenty solid.

Right. Skill is pointless if it is used carelessly and results in turnovers that go quickly the other direction. Use the skill to set up grade A chances, not dangle and spin around until one's pocket gets picked.

Yikes, don’t care for that at all. The lettering in general looks poor and cheap, and are the STATE letter larger than the ST CLOUD letters? The husky seems awkwardly squeezed into the space and also looks like a Cracker Jack tattoo or like a 4th grader drew it onto the jersey with a sharpie. Tweak the relative sizes of things and have a color-filled husky and maybe there’s a chance, but as is I say hard pass.

What refreshing statements from the rabbi (about forgiveness and "not canceling people") and the JRC as well in that article. I want to compare/contrast that to another situation we're all familiar with, but there's really no point in going there.

Ottawa D Chabot seemingly injured, so Kleven might get a shot Thursday. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/35993800/senators-d-thomas-chabot-likely-miss-rest-season "In Chabot's absence, Tyler Kleven is expected to make his NHL debut against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday."

Or maybe it's a private/personal matter that's just not any of our business. It feels strange indeed and I would have liked to see him get some chances over the past couple of months, but if there's something going on that's more than level of play or practice performance, that can be kept private. Maybe Schloss isn't pressing Brad or reporting anything because he actually knows something and is just being kind to keep it out of the public spot light.

Overheard at the Ralph, from folks who seem to have some form of knowledge of the family, was that Tyler has been pushing his studies each semester and over summer, to be able to possibly wrap up his degree early. Who knows how true that is or if he'll accomplish it, but that might play a role in his decision. It sure sounded like the general idea was to move on after this season, but ya never know how things can change. And it's possible that my general eavesdropping was misinterpreted as well

I thought the Chrona flop was embarrassing, but the last one where the DU guy ran into the Western guy (and then flopped) and drew a 5 takes the cake. What a joke. And that has single handedly ruined a good game because of the now 2 PPG on the major.

Say what you want about Berry and staff but someone made a great decision last night in OT. Gaber had just been out for his shift with OMac when Blake and Jammer hit the ice. Once they got solid possession going in the O zone and Blake was buying extra time they snuck Gaber back on after only a short rest to pair up with Blake and win it. Don’t know if it was planned to try that or seat of the pants call on the fly, but it was brilliant.

In Denver, wasn't that Kleven's 4th game misconduct? I thought that would by him 2 extra games now, per this rule: 22.2 Suspensions - A player who receives three (3) game misconduct penalties in the same season (including exhibition games) shall not be permitted to play in the team’s next regular-season or tournament game against an NCAA member institution. For each additional game misconduct penalty (e.g. four, five, etc.) assessed to the same player in the same season, the player shall be suspended for one (1) additional game. This shall not be part of a progressive penalty structure. Exhibition games cannot be used to fulfill the suspension for this violation.
