  1. Is it possible for Duluth’s or BC’s next two games to be declared ‘no contest’ (via positive opposing team covid testing) and they be declared champs playing only one game? I mean, Michigan backed out day of contest. Would suck royally, eh?

    How bout we be armchair hockey experts rather than epidemiologists.  I'm liking Caulfield's step up and think it could go a long way to giving us the coveted two genuine scoring lines. 

    The only thing that I am qualified for is to be an armchair hockey expert. Good point. Anybody else out there? Maybe time to find some positives around me.
    Love me some hockey!

    Wonder how many college teams have had numerous walk-ons make it to the NHL.  Phil Sykes, Matt Henderson, Jay Caulfield, and Cole Smith.  Any that I am missing? I know Caulfield had a football scholarship and was injured, but don’t think he had hockey scholarship.

    Wasn’t Ludwig a walk-on?

    He left the team high and dry if memory serves me correctly.  UND was nothing more than a bargaining chip until he bolted late for juniors.  Not this fan’s favorite.

    Reminds me of Garrett Clarke playing both Dean Blais and a QMJHL team to get to another Quebec team (Halifax?)

    Me too. This could be the case. UND didnt have a ton of room this year however Halliday has had a decent start to his USHL season.

    I will say this...every time a recruit decommits or has his scholly pulled, they rarely shine elsewhere.

    Boeser and Stecher were awesome decommits

  6.    Condolences on your family’s loss. His insight into the Bakken was very informative, always pro North Dakota and entirely optimistic. His information on up and coming college hockey teams was also tremendously optimistic. His search engine seemed to always be on to glean anything about possibly new & existing teams and their arena efforts.
       His positivity is sadly missed when so many are obsessed with negativity and blame. May our Lord’s light, mercy and peace be with him.

    Dragging back a REALLY old thread... can anyone help find a picture of this hit again?

    Found video of it in a 06-07 Fighting Sioux highlight  introduced by Pat Sweeney on youtube 

  8. St. Louis to me was a gritty town. Hope that Cardinals are playing next time around. Al Hrabosky’s bar for the pregame was ok. Tour of Anheuser Brewery was ok. Gateway Arch is a must do but will only kill an hour. I was surprised by a lot of the downtown architecture but that could only interest a few of us geeks. Best part of the trip: Duncan wins the Hobey and Lammy made a couple of Emmy nominated cart wheel saves.

    Anyone know if Halliday de-committed? Heisenberg doesn't have him listed as a UND recruit anymore. 

     

    He was also draft eligible, wasn’t he. Projected in the mid rounds?  Thought he was older than Jackson Kunz who was drafted.

    I can't speak for Mitchell or anyone else for that matter. I just know that in looking back their was a lot of things I did that I'm not proud of. I'm happy with the person I became, but their were a lot of ups and downs in getting to a place where I became a good husband, father, brother, son, friend, and coworker. Without second chances and people helping me along the way I never would have gotten to where I am now.

    Put me in your camp. Just because his discretions may have not been mine, does not make my own slate any cleaner.

    Have you had Boss' yet? It's pretty good but definitely on the spendy side. And i'm an unabashed huge Popolino's fan as far as my favorite in town.

    I’m with you on Popolino’s. Love their sauce and thin crust. I used to order identical pizzas to taste test from both Pops & Deeks to pick up on the way home from work. 4 out of 5 in the house favored Popolinos.

    Paging Casey's pizza for that in the GF area... they're on line 2.  Better pizza than Spicy Pie imo, but everyone has an opinion and their own pizza taste/preference. 

    I don’t mind Spicy Pie’s pizza, two slices and a 22oz. Busch Light for $6. With enough white sauce and hot sauce, not bad.

    I’m ok with their grinders also. I haven’t found any trace of oatmeal in their taco meat paste either.

    I live in the FM area, Casey’s whole pies are a good deal.

    Its amazing how quickly things can change, when you think of how tough it was to watch this team for a few years. Props to Berry, I always liked the guy, but I certainly had my doubts and was getting impatient not only watching us lose, but watching how we were losing.

    That is partially the product of being spoiled rotten for about 15 years where we were in the NCAA tourney every time, and in the Frozen four almost half of the time. A true testament to the quality of work that Hakstol did, except for the NCAA title eluding him. I was always a Hak fan and would still love to see him back at UND in some capacity in the future. The guy bleeds green.

    I'll always wonder what could have been with this year, but I'm definitely excited to see what is possible over the next few years.

      Great points all around. I believe also, that most of us fell into complacency watching our team make the tournament every year. A lot of our fan base, especially here, have less than 20 years experience. Myself? Only 40 years. A lot of you old timers have much, much more. Our fall remains at barely missing two tournaments.  It’s funny when Berry mentions to us how close the team was in most games. Coaches were confident but disappointed. Most on the message boards were only disappointed. The coaches and players seem cohesive and confident going forward and we fans appear to be back 100%

      We had some very forgettable years at the end of Gino’s time. Attendance was at 2-3000 for some of those games. Is there a half dozen traditional hockey powerhouses? UND, DU, UM, WIS, MICH, BC, & maybe BU. Will UMD remain relevant? Hockey is cyclical. We haven’t been cellar dwellers for decades. And never for very long. Some of the traditional powers have really struggled recently. At some point, they will be back also. Their traditions are too strong to stay down too long.  I too, feel that we are back and the future is bright again.
       
       Thank you coaches, players, the Engelstad family, REA management, and our knowledgeable and obsessive fan base.
