    At least Denver fans recognize our program's place as one of the blue bloods in this sport. There are Goofer fans that don't think we belong amongst the mighty Golden Gophers, which is part of what fuels the rivalry.

    If I had to guess, I would bet most of us couldn't care less what some clueless Gopher fan thinks. UND is a blue-blood program.

    I see where you’re coming from, but I’ll respectfully disagree. The 2019-2020 team was on a different level of intensity and skill as well. Guys like Colton Poolman and Cole Smith brought so much soul to that team that it bled through to the rest. It even carried into 2020-2021 as that team may have been even better in some ways. 

    I can see that side of it. I wonder what would've happened if they had been able to play in the NCAA tourney?

    Hopefully the focus solely on him creates some locker room issues.  

    Yes, he's a good player, but others are very good, too. It was like the NHL making Connor Bedard the R.O.Y. after one week in the NHL. It's embarrassing.

    A dang good article from Schloss about how UND scrambled to fill the roster spots for this season:

    https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/the-inside-story-of-how-und-saved-the-roster-this-summer

    Sounds like the coaches were traveling all over the US visiting with players, commits, and potential recruits.
    They certainly earned their paychecks this summer.  :)  

    This was the big news during the luncheon when Jackson spoke to the media. 

    Quote

    Jackson, Simpson and Chyzyk went to work. They used Dave Hakstol, a former UND coach and NHL Jack Adams Coach of the Year finalist, as a sounding board.

    Unless you have a kid, grandkid, niece or nephew playing for one of NDSU's teams, switching sides from UND to NDSU is treason. Period.

    I couldn't do it. Nothing would change my opinion.

    Enrollment cratered and they are cutting hockey. I jest but my money is on them being the first D1 hockey school to shutter.

    Didn't Schloss once say this during a podcast, too?
