I can't unsee that.

I know they've been whining about it since year one of the NCHC.

Leaving the NCHC costs around 1.5-2 million dollars. They'd suck in the CCHA, too.

Yes!

It sounds good. I am in. I am hoping the MN Wild don't crap the bed.

Not many teams have a beat writer who travels with the team everywhere. Schloss is the UND hockey reporter for the Grand Forks Herald. Granted, he covers other sports in the offseason (Racing, Tennis, Football, and other things when needed). There are a fair number of teams that don't send writers. The Forum Communications might be an exception. I remember Oliver Francis working for a team that didn't send their beat writer to the Ralph for a non-conference series.

I am with @stoneySIOUX Schloss, is a hard worker. He's up late working almost every night. He's focused and many NHL teams would probably love to have a beat writer with his drive. He's always working sources and his job isn't to go out and dig up dirt and nasty rummors. He covers the team and the different stories surrounding the team. Leave that to the anonymous sources. We’ve all heard the rumors coming out of this past season’s team. It was a mess. There's a new Sheriff in town and that's a positive. Attacking Schloss is pointless. I think we’re lucky to have him.

I don't think so, he was the extra player and I watched him play for the Force last weekend. He didn't play a lot and was unnoticeable when he did. I'd say unless his game picks up he has written DIII on him. Maybe.

This game is boring and I thought the first game was much better than this one.

He seems to be tuned in.

I am not sure how good your sources are, but Bryn was the odds on favorite for the position. Not much digging was needed for that one.

I just did, it's been a busy week. I listened to the presser again today; there was much to digest. F, yeah, comes to mind. Jackson is intense. He's going to work hard every day, and he expects the same from his coaches and players. Playing on a sports team is a lot like battling with your battle buddies. I don't feel they had that this year. It seemed like they had 23 guys going all different directions. You can't have people going in different directions. The culture is going to change.

Understand that, still I wouldn’t look too deeply into it. The former coaches Hak and Gino were there, too. I think it’s more of a show of support. Who knows.

Have to find some time first. I have a bunch of things today. Band concert.

I wouldn't look too far into this, Coltyn Sanderson was at the press conference, too.

I was happy with what I heard today, I am going to relisten to it, again. My link wasn't that good.

There were a lot of messages from today's introductory press conference.

That's where someone like Bryn comes in.

He also talked about watching the coaches Geno and Blais head out on the road to Sask, Manitoba and Minnesota to recruit the next day. Also, a message.

Coach just took a shot or two at the players the leave for money or don’t want to be there. Nice!

Ausmus had some really good points.

I suggest listening to this podcast if you haven't. We probably need to up our game. I stuck another quote in yesterday's post.

That's because you had too many Keystone Lights.
