Godsmack

Sounds like Schloss was on to something last December when he wrote this about Pinto last December. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4543083-und-commit-shane-pinto-rising-nhl-draft-boards

And yet, despite all of Sandelin’s successes, he still will make less than Coach Mike Haviland at C.C. I do not say this to brag, in fact, I think it’s downright ridiculous that he’s one of the highest paid coaches in the country and he hasn’t accomplished anything during his tenure at CC.

I met Peter Stoykewych at a Colorado Springs Sky Sox baseball game of all places. He and some other CC players were there signing autographs and they saw me wearing a Winnipeg Jets shirt. Very cool guys. This story Peter shared about college hockey is one of many reasons why I think it’s the greatest game on earth.

I can dishonestly say, I was one of the few!

Nick Olczyk left the CC program. Going to pursue a career in sports broadcasting.

Kennedy is an a hole IMO but the CU Boulder folks are even bigger a holes so I’m glad he got elected as the next CU system president.

So what happens with the old scoreboard? -Will it be sold to NDSU?

Where’d you find my senior pic?

This is a classic look as well.

No, I meant lucky in that many of their stud players tend to stick around longer than expected (Larrson notwithstanding). I wish we had guys of the caliber of Gambrell, Terry, and Lukosevicius sticking around to at least their junior, sometimes senior seasons. Jost was gone after one season.

All I know is, the DU hockey program collectively has one huge magic horseshoe up their arse.

Any rule that says we need to go after a UND hockey alum? DU seems to do alright bringing in non-DU guys. Mannino to me seems intriguing, if especially if what someone on this board said about him being a great recruiter.

As a Jets fan, no I am not.

Until fans return, then they’ll raise ticket prices back up. Supply and demand.

Yep, I mentioned that in my post. I meant that he lost his head coaching position when they elevated to the AHL.

I think bringing in a guy with bonafide experience and success in the broomball league like @MafiaMan is the route the team should go. @MafiaMan‘s broomball team had the #1 powerplay in the entire metro twin cities area!

He was awfully successful with the Colorado Eagles, winning back-to-back Kelly Cup championships. Why he wasn’t retained once the Eagles were elevated to the AHL is beyond me but I guess he’s an assistant there.

Peter Mannino left Omaha last summer to go to Miami and now he’s out of a job?

That sounds like a classic 1970’s or early 80’s hockey name! I think the Sioux had a player in the early 80’s by the last name of Chadwick. Paul Chadwick maybe?

I’ll never forget DU goaltender Sinuhe Wallinheimo from the mid-90’s. He had most! I remember him skating out to center ice at the WCHA Final Five and staring down the opposing goaltender. Fun times.

To quote the coach of the Hamilton Mustangs, “they (the Avs) could’ve skated around with a carton of eggs and not broken any.”

I went to the Avs game tonight and Makar looked very comfortable out there on the ice. It helped that the coaches put him in some safe, comfortable positions. He made a lot of safe plays, didn’t get himself caught out of position, kept his shifts very short, and yes-he even managed to score his first NHL goal proving that Duluth has a better defense than Calgary!

I believe UND was the third heaviest team in the nation so by that, I gather we were also one of the slower teams as well. Will we get back to having smurf-like players (think 1997 team) with a few big bruisers mixed in (Commodore). We were also one of the more penalized teams in the conference (a result of our bigger, slower players, perhaps?). I think we need to get smaller and faster.
