Good point, but at least that was on the road.

His constant slobbering over UMD is what irritates people the most.

Bottom line, we should not have been swept at home by Cornell. This weekend was an unmitigated disaster.

He should lose his starting job. Period.

Time for the freshman to get a chance to start.

I believe Denver is also private.

I agree, but some people on here talk like we should move down to D-2 and join the NSIC. They cannot win the argument if this realignment takes place.

I thought this was the greatest team ever assembled? More like the softest team ever assembled. Another reason why we should never join that crap-hole conference.

No and I want to keep it that way. The NCHC is the SEC of college hockey. And I want us to remain there.

Isn't it your wet dream to join the Little 7 Hockey Conference because you think there will be a big pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? #simplequestion

That would be great.

That doesn't matter at UND, where winning is optional (sarcasm). But to answer your question, no. He needs to get this team into the playoffs the next two seasons and make a serious run at getting to Frisco. Otherwise, I don't think he should get an extension.

Then why should they care if this kid wants to transfer out? They have this mentality that kids would rather sit on the bench at NDSU than start for UND. That was the point of the post you are responding to; they shouldn't care one way or the other. As for whether it will pay off for us, that won't be known for a year or two. I certainly hope the kid fits in here and can contribute.

I recall the same thinking back in 1986. That obviously changed the following decade. We should focus on what we can control, which is quite a bit.

He's probably going to Michigan or Denver, if current trends are any indication.

I for one never blamed Hakstol for the problems in Philadelphia. That franchise is a mess because of management incompetence and bad ownership.

We are light years away from a "natty" or anything else right now.

I for one am not interested in becoming another Michigan State. The 2016 team hung a green banner with skill up front and on the blueline, not copying Mike Freaking Eaves.

Me thinks there is more to this story than is being reported.

Agree with the first paragraph, disagree with the second one. We do need guardrails put on this (and on NIL for that matter), but not supporting your team(s) and school only hurts the student-athletes who stick around. And they are not the ones causing the problems.

An NCHC split on the road is fine with me.

What do you think means?
