The ones that stuck out to me, didn't realize Matt Wellens didn't quote Bast in the 1st one(wonder why):
Bast said he respects that UMD took him out of the transfer portal to fill a void on the roster this season, not to push out any other current players or recruits. He also respect how protective the staff is of the program’s culture.
“Everyone talks about culture, like literally every program,” Bast said. “There’s some programs that actually walk the walk and other programs that talk the talk. What I’ve heard from Duluth is they walk the walk when it comes to culture. That was very appealing to me.”
There are certain writers that like to post inflammatory stuff in their articles to get clicks or stir debate. Especially, if they don't get as many views as they would like. I am not saying Wellins is doing this. I am not upset with his quote, it's how he feels, good luck to him. Whatever. UND has a passionate fanbase and the fanbase drives clicks.

Agreed. And in Luke’s mind, he expected more ice time but it was taken up by transfers.
Or said transfers were playing better than you? With the players that UND has coming in, would he have played that much this year, either?

...in walks Goon.
I was already in the bar, and I was in the process of leaving when I ran into my buddy Doug that was sitting with them, and he bought me a beer and then we proceeded to have about five more. They were pretty good guys. This was right before they played ASU, who was also staying in the hotel I was at.

Wodon is dancing on the edge on purpose.
The talks about ... whispers of tampering.
Then he mentions MSU and UND have been "aggressive" ... but then says there's no proof.
But the mental ties have been made.He's trying to create guilt by inference.
He danced right to the edge of defamation (libel, slander) but stopped just short.It’s also a click bait story, too. He knows that people will read it because it’s inflammatory. He’s denied on Twitter that he was accusing MSU and UND of tampering.

Hedquist hasn't played since April 19 when he left a game with an injury. I'm cringing.
I heard he had a lower-body Injury.

Completely agree here. Passing was an issue the past two years I think. Especially watching some other teams play. Much more crisp.
This isn't just a UND thing, the Boston Bruins were passing to the opposition all series long.
Ugh!

Although a couple of NCHC teams backed the idea of moving under the Summit's umbrella, others balked and it does not appear there's a large enough consensus to make such a move at this time.
jeez i wonder which schools want to do this (und, omaha, and denver (and st thomas)...and which ones don't ....CC, Miami, Western, duluth, and scsu?
What makes you think that UND wants to fall under the Summit?

CC is turning the corner. Mayotte had done a lot already with Haviland’s kids. They did advance to the championship game of the Frozen Faceoff and have shown a compete level they didn’t under the previous leadership. I don’t see CC going anywhere, not to mention, DU would not support getting rid of them either.
I think Mr. @Godsmack has a very good point, CC is headed in the right decision, their coach Mayotte is legit. I think CC will continue to be a valued member of our conference. Seriously! The conference isn't going to boot them out. Fenton is running the NCHC anymore. Doesn't sound like the NCHC schools are going to follow under the Summit.

cc hasn't been relevant for ...........decades?
Seriously, there's not reason to have this discussion, the NCHC isn't going to add Airforce. If the NCHC added Air Force Acadamy to the conference it would water down the league.

DU and UND aren't going to allow the NCHC to be watered down into an afterthought sport in a plucky low level also-ran league like the summit is in the grand scheme.
It's not happening, foolish to take it seriously.
FYP, and I agree.

who would you rather have as a conference member (remember you can still play OTHER schools OOC) ......as a fan and as a commish
Arizona State or UM-Duluth
Air Force or CC
Bowling Green or SCSU
pretty easy for me....
Air force isn't joining the NCHC, unless the NCHC added Army. Plus, they'd have a very hard time competing on a year-to-year basis in the NCHC.

Different sport with a bit of a back story, but Big Sky waived the exit fee for UND. In fact, they continued to help with scheduling for two/three years in football as UND moved to the Summit League. So, there can be a goodwill angle to things. If Miami wants out and they conduct business in a forthright manner I see no problem with it. The NCHC has plenty of options to backfill if needed. It could be a win/win situation and could be a model for hockey going forward. We all want college hockey to grow with growth comes conference movement why make it painful. Again, if a school doesn't notify the conference and goes about it the wrong way. The exit fee applies and a boot to the ass on the way out is fine with me.
I'd like to know why everyone is so willing to just let them go. Yes, it's apparent they add nothing to this conference other than teams having about a 75% winning percentage against them. If the NCHC does this for them, then it makes it easier for other teams to just pack up and leave. When the NCHC first started they the teams in the conference were asked if they were committed to this conference. Everyone said yes, I was told that everyone agreed to the exit fee. If they want out they pay. Also, I keep hearing how ASU is going to a great add to the conference. If we have a sharp commissioner, I am not sure we do, then she needs to relay to ASU, your one of eight or nine teams, you're not calling the shots. You will be like everyone else or we're not adding you. The NCHC holds all of the cards.

Any guesses how the TV situation will be worked out with NCHC.TV? Will ASU fully participate?
I don't think they're going to have a choice.

Is Schlossman covering the meetings in person?
You'd have to ask Schloss. I haven't been paying attention. Been focusing on the Bruins systematically taking down the Panthers.

Ha. I haven't anything yet. It appears that nothing really has leaked from the meetings yet.

Then, while we wait for another defenseman, maybe I can goose the process by saying: It might be early summer before we hear anything about another defenseman.
Well the coaches are in Florida this week for the Spring Meetings.
