  1. I was listening to the Bulldog Hockey Podcast, and Luke Bast was on and said this.

    "I was actually on the phone with my dad, a couple of days ago, and he was talking to a fellow father from North Dakota," Bast said. The fellow UND hockey father said, hey, 'what would you rather do? Fly on a chartered plane and not play or get left behind? Or would you rather fly commercial and play every night?' 

    Bast continued, "That was interesting. I think you take the commercial flight and you play every night. I think you'll have a lot more fun, and your college experience will be a hell of a lot better than staying home; rather than flying on a chartered plane.

    My question is, did the plan change at the 12th hour? Everything I heard about this was that Spicer (and his crew) and the coaching staff had different ideas of the actual plan. This is all moot. It is a bummer if there was a genuine misunderstanding. It would be worse if the plan completely changed without Spicer knowing it. My guess is there was probably a middle answer on all of this.

    I heard the same thing, coach Berry wanted him to play another year of juniors, he said no. UND told him good luck.

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

    Quote

    “You have to outwork them,” said Bast, who has two goals nine games into his career as a Bulldog. “At the end of the day, are we going to win with all our talent? Are we going to out-skill teams? Probably not, which is fine. The thing that we got is we got a group that's willing to win and do the little things that are going to win. You see it in the long run. Past teams here, you look at the roster, and you might not think that they're going to be great or whatever, but they come together as a group and they do what it takes to win.”

    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.

    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.

  10. From the Athletic

    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.

    From Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman:

    Quote

    The 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.

    Did Albrecht red shirt his freshman year when he never drew in?

    Yep, redshirt.
