Goon

From Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman:

This might shed some light on the Shane Pinto situation.

Yep, redshirt.

Here's some of the older players on the team: Keaton Pehrson, 24, Hunter Johannes, 25, Garrett Pyke, 24, Carson Albrecht, 25, Ludvig Persson, 24.

I agree, Gabert is currently 24 years old, the chances aren't good.

Justen Close was really good this past weekend. He was very sound positionally. Berry gave him a lot of credit in the post-game pressers both nights. Both goalies were really good.

I can confirm that Mike Schmidt was in the press box this weekend.

@Wilbur I agree with you; everyone please have fun and enjoy the season.

Yep, 100 percent; "anything less than a sweep is unacceptable."

And stronger defensively. They also seem to be more committed to blocking shots.

He tried coming back but must have been pretty banged up.

Berry talked about him not being able to finish the game. Sounds like he's day-to-day.

Zmolek blocked a puck and went down the tunnel and didn’t come back.

That could be too.

I thought he made some good saves.

Are you still drunk? This year's freshmen and the incoming classes are going to be very good. I recommend listening to Schlossman's podcast. He's has a pretty good handle of the recruiting.

If you go back and watch the fourth goal, Persson made the save, no one was near or challenged the Gophers shooter. They didn't clear the puck. That can be fixed. The Gophers played well last night, they got in the lanes and challenged the UND shooters all night long. I expect things will be better tonight.

While it wasn't a rivalry game per say, the regional game between Minnesota and Holy Cross. I remember going to the KFAN remote out at the Long-Haul Saloon, and everyone on the Gopher side looked past the Crusaders. It was on and on about UND had no chance the mighty Gophers and Michigan was probably going to win. I remember, the game, I went with a buddy of mine that was a Gopher fan. After the Gophers lost in OT, I remember going to the bathroom. I was trying to use the facilities and this pathetic Gopher fan comes up to me, and says "we would have won." I laughed at him and said, Skippy your team is already on the bus ride home. Please go away so I can finish my business. I remember how loud the arena was after the game and it never quieted down. Michigan came out and UND drilled them 5-0.

I told someone, UND needs to stay out of the penalty box and not lose their heads.

Does this concern anyone?

Just think, if there had never been Covid, we would've never got to see him wear a UND sweater. The guy brings a lot of positive energy with him.

I've gotten to know Virg over the years, and he's got some great stories. The guy is an amazing historian of all things UND hockey.

He! Fire Entz to save the program.

I can think of two shots that were just wide of going in the Badgers net.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.
