Goon

He was given top-six minutes at the beginning of the season and didn't produce. If you go back and look at the line sheet he had his chance.

Nope Costantini has been invisibile for most of the season. He's had multiple opportunities to prove himself and hasn't.

Must be a slow day at the Credit Union? No one is happy with the status quo but let’s be reasonable. We had fans that want to fire Hakstol because he hadn’t NCAA title. Last time I checked, Hak was coaching in the NHL. Then, we have coach that wins one and fans are still calling for his head. Is anyone in the fan base ever going to be happy? Last time UND wasn’t at the Frozen Faceoff, I had a media member from a newspaper ask me if the fans really wanted Berry fired. This is worse than the Montreal Canadian fan base.

And look what they've done since.

What are you suggesting? The University fire Brad Berry who has a .643 winning percentage? He has won four regular season titles, in the toughest conference in college hockey. He did win one more NCAA title than his predecessor. First, he has three more years on his contract. Who's stepping up on the expensive buyout? Maybe someone from the Good Ole Boys can afford to write a big check. Who's going to replace him? Do hire a new coach from outside the UND family, or someone inside the family? That's a big question right there? Who do we hire to replace him? Can you imagine an athletic director firing a coach with his record. Is anyone happy with this season? No not at all. It's been tough to stomach. It's been an F'N dumpster fire. However, I am not going to let it ruin the rest of my year or ruminate on it all offseason. The players know this is not UND hockey. Like @stoneySIOUX mentioned could lose a lot of those in coming high-end recruits, if our AD was as jumpy as some our fans and just fired Berry. I see people comparing Berry to Scott Sandelin, his record is 440-363-95 .542 winning percentage his team have missed the NCAA playoff 11 times in his 23-year stint. He didn't win his first NCAA title till his 11th season behind the bench. Based on those standards were seeing applied to coach Berry, Scott would've been fired a long time before he won an NCAA championship. In the 11 seasons leading up to his team winning an NCAA championship, Sandelin had 164-187-46 (.471) record. He would've been run out of town on a rail.

The same playing style that won back-to-back-to-back Penrose Cups. Now, can one make the argument that winning said cups emptied the tank? Maybe.

I ask my wife once a month if can move to Texas. She’s says no every time.

One thing to remember, while UND has the best facilities in all of college hockey, destination is still a concern for some recruits. Not everyone is going want to live in Grand Forks or in this climate. Not dissing Grand Forks, but the weather is absolutely horrendous.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the two remaining goalies leave.

I was wondering if you could get on that, see if you can persuade him to stay.

Schmatz has been a great pick for DraftKings lately.

And Hellsten isn’t coming back?

He didn’t get a game misconduct.

I think that @Dave Berger's prediction is reasonable.

That guy was fast. I enjoyed watching him play.

IIRC Stecher was also a player that decomitted from another school and came to UND.

Here's the list of decomitted recruits. It was Miles Koules. His dad is Oren Koules.

I am not sure we're thinking about the same kid.

Brendan Lemieux de-committed I am glad he never made it here. There was another kid that committed and decommitted, his dad was a producer for the Two and Half Men Citicom until Charlie Sean left the show. His name escapes me.

'We're a Much Different Team'

Actually, it wasn't too bad. I am back at work after five days off. I was bored while I was at home. The first day back at work my incision was swearing at me.

That's a good question. I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it because I am recovering from Carpal Tunnel Surgery. I will take a look at it.

Here's something to consider.

For example, here's Bobby Brinks inStats from this season.
