Whenever I see one of these lists, I'm reminded of Chris Dilks who used to have some pretty good write ups on prospects, but usually butted heads with North Dakota fans on a variety of issues. Whatever happened to that guy? I haven't seen anything from him in ages, and his old Twitter account seems relatively dormant.
I talked to one of the guys that wrote for that site, and after it was shuttered, he said Chris kind of disappeared. He doesn't post on social media, either.

Dabo.......I mean Bubba doesn't get beat down like that.
Hey @Oxbow6 I'd like to be proven wrong and eat my words, but I've seen nothing that indicates that this team has the mental makeup to go on the road and win against a top-10 team.

James is our best 200 foot forward and has been since the end of last season. Hopefully he can find his scoring touch but his speed is a problem for most teams and he is phenominal on the penalty kill.
He's one of our best penalty killers because so fast and is pressuring all of the time.

Since UND beat NDSU, I haven't seen a complete 60-minute game. Albeit, they've suffered some injuries to key players. I am thinking 47-10 SD.

Caron looked shaky to me, left a ton of rebounds and got beat high quite a bit
I wasn't impressed with him at all. If there's a weak link on their team, it's their goalie.

Yeah, but we're spoiled here. Midco has an outstanding production for UND hockey. It's NHL quality, honestly.
I think that all of UND's sports broadcasts are really good. Spoiled is right.

Did anyone else have issues with the volume of the BU play by play guys? It seemed muted but whenever they’d go to commercial the volume was really loud. (We’d gotten the ESPN+ subscription)
Yes, it was a brutal production. Good picture, but the PxP announcers needed to turn up their mics. They were absolutely brutal, too.

These BU announcers do a lot of whining. I’ve not been impressed.

Ditto.
ESPN+ is the best bang for your buck for any sports fan out there.
For 10.99 a month you can get basically the NHL package, College football and college hockey. I watch UND football on it.

Then you didn’t like Archibald, Blake, Hextall etc. plenty of chirping goes on in hockey.
Exactly. Chirping is part of the game.

Pretty sweet view of the Johannes game tying goal and celly:
I wish they would've gone a little father and shown him chirping the MSU bench. That was classic.

This is good and complete opposite of the initial ESPN story.
The Athletic is a good source for information. I usually go there first.

The suspension will retroactively be set to begin on the first game of the Senators’ season. Pinto won’t be able to return to the lineup until Jan. 21 in Philadelphia — Ottawa’s 42nd game.
As a 10.2(c) RFA, Pinto has very limited rights in free agency but does not need to be under contract by Dec. 1 in order to be eligible to play during the 2023-24 season, as Group 2 RFAs do.

Didn't see that one coming!
I don't think any of us saw that coming. I had to read it a couple of time to make sure that I was reading it correctly.

From Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman:
QuoteThe NHL will suspend unsigned Ottawa Senators centre Shane Pinto 41 games on Wednesday for violating league gambling rules, multiple sources told Sportsnet.
Critically, the league did not accuse of Pinto of wagering on NHL games, as a memo sent in March 2022 reminded all league and club personnel — including players — that wagering on any NHL game, even where legal, is “absolutely prohibited,” and will “constitute conduct that is dishonourable, prejudicial to, or against the welfare of the League or the game of hockey” under the NHL’s constitution.
The memo added that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is authorized to “discipline individuals determined to have engaged in improper gambling activities in any or all of the following respects:” expulsion or suspension a definite or indefinite period; cancelling any contract that such individual may have; and/or by imposing a fine. “The League will act swiftly and aggressively in penalizing any League or Club personnel determined to have engaged in acts in violation of the NHL Gambling Policy,” the policy states. -
This might shed some light on the Shane Pinto situation.

Did Albrecht red shirt his freshman year when he never drew in?
Quote2019-20 (Freshman): Redshirt season ... Dressed for the exhibition game at the USNTDP U-18s (Dec. 28) ... Did not see regular season action ... Earned NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete honors and NCHC All-Academic accolades ... earned a varsity letter.

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

He’s most likely leaving….but it wouldn’t be a terrible idea. I’m guessing he most likely won’t carve out an NHL role…he’ll play a ton of AHL hockey and European hockey. Which is great to be honest. Why not play another year? I get it though, players need to chase their dreams.
I agree, Gabert is currently 24 years old, the chances aren't good.

There was one power play in the third period for UND that comes to mind where they did all the right things but score. I recall Berg camped out in front of Close and getting a couple nice looks where Close just stoned us.
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.

Someone on GPL is saying both the NCHC director of officials as well as two of the on ice officials are UND alums (insinuating home cooking). Can anyone verify the validity of that claim?
I can confirm that Mike Schmidt was in the press box this weekend.

An old WCHA foe comes calling. They just got swept by UMASS, we split with the rightful #1 team.
Thoughts? @Goon wants a sweep, I just want everyone to have fun.
Hedquist on Saturday after we win 5-1 on Friday? Ja?
@Wilbur I agree with you; everyone please have fun and enjoy the season.

Good for Luke Bast, but who would he be playing over this season?
