Supposedly. I guess we shouldn’t expect them to totally be lighting it up. Hopefully they’ll develop.

I think it’s in the eyes of the beholder. Clearly our recent crop of recruits haven’t been very effective so what might be a prized recruit at CC might not necessarily be considered a prized recruit elsewhere.

Given the state of the program, I don’t see it being very easy to win too many recruiting wars with the more successful NCHC programs.

Yah, pretty much all of CC’s forwards are little.

As an Air Force fan, I’d love to see them in the conference but I don’t think they’re competitive enough to recruit the caliber of players needed for the long haul grind of an NCHC season. Sure, they’ve definitely proven to be a tough out in the national tournament (just ask St. Cloud) but that’s a one-and-done format. I just think they have too many built in hurdles to recruit the types of players they’d need in order to be competitive in the NCHC.

Over on letsgodu they have links to the David Carle post game interviews and in the Friday interview a reporter asked why Hank Crone wasn’t on the trip. DC said he appreciated the question but was going to leave that internally within the team and the player. He’s been playing good hockey so I thought it was odd too that he didn’t make the trip.

Don’t know. Schloss inferred that gets would finish out this season with CC and go elsewhere next year.

Schloss just tweeted that CC Tiger Troy Conzo has entered the transfer portal last night.

Did Earl ever do much in the pros?

That’s a potentially good get for CC. With all the talk on the UND/DU game thread debating whether UND is dirty and chippy or has tough, hard nosed players, I’d say that CC could certainly use more size and toughness. They’ve been a pretty small and non-physical team during the Haviland era.

Was Gleason on UND’s radar? I believe he suited up for the first time tonight for CC.

You watch, those morons over on letsgoDU will moan about their goalie being run but conveniently mention nothing about slew footing our goaltender.

A CC fan posted on one of the CC FB pages that the Tigers just lost a prized recruit and is going to North Dakota instead. He didn’t say the name of the player. Anyone know who he’s talking about?

Yah, I’m not playing in it this year either. Was invited to play but it’s too long of a drive from Colorado Springs and I wanted to be home with the family and watch the UND series instead.

Is it true DU is forfeiting the games this weekend so they can play in the PBR Colorado Pond Hockey Tournament up in Silverthorne?

There’s that many Denver fans???

They do make a valid point in their story and comments that taking all these penalties could really cost us come tournament time. I think all of us on this board would agree that UND has taken way too many penalties this season and need to cut that out of their game the rest of the way.

Wilbur, AlphaMikeFoxtrot, TNT, BusinesssiouT, and KSSioux you’re famous! Letsgodu! selected you’re posts for their witty article.

I won’t bother reading fans’ comments on the stories posted on FB. I’m sure some fans aren’t happy about it.

Sorry I’m late to the party but anyone know what the rationale was in picking the Ralph to host the post season tournament? Particularly the Ralph over Omaha?

A buddy posted this on FB. Pretty much summed up the half time show.

Anyone remember the time Cole Smith got a 5 and a game for committing the crime of standing there in the offensive zone and a DU player wasn’t looking where he was going and running into him and hurting himself? Yah, that happened at Magot Arena too.

Sorry-was thinking the goal scorer was that was Miettinen was the goal scorer but not.

Western defender just flat out got beaten and out worked on that short handed goal from the freshman phenom.

Has Miami phoned it in for the remainder of the season?
