From Schloss’ article today; According to multiple sources, center David Klee, winger Dalton Andrew, defenseman Andrew Strathmann, defenseman Jayden Jubenvill, defenseman Ian Engel and goaltender Gibson Homer are planning to enter the transfer portal. I’m a little surprised by Klee and Strathmann. All the more reason to believe Chyz has multiple big things cooking. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-hockey-players-expected-to-enter-the-transfer-portal

First off, if you don’t subscribe to the GF Herald, you should for this month. Schloss is cranking out great articles and doing his best to promote the culture, coaching staff, locker room dynamics, etc that will pay dividends with many eyes watching the program this week. To me, this quote highlights one the biggest difference from last year…playing the young talent throughout the year and letting them grow from their experiences (in the article today about Zeller’s history in Vegas); "They know I'm going to make mistakes out there, but they let me come back to the bench, let me know in a timely manner that I made a mistake there, but they also trust me to get back out there. They're not putting me down for mistakes, but they're coaching me. They've been unbelievable and have helped my game so much."

He acted like they got jobbed out of the 2016 national championship as well. They were outmatched from the start, had no chance against the CBS line, and lost 5-1. Tip your cap and move on without taking shots at the other team or the officials. I get it in a one goal game but take the high road when you were outmatched.

Who wants to own saying Croal should sit after the UMD loss? There were several on that bandwagon.

When was our first game in SD?

Also think you might get a few more fans in the building if you let people leave between games. Some will show up to watch the third but many will decide to skip to eat/drink at non-concession prices.

who in the arena and wants to clean the dark spot (center-right/lower) off of the main elevated center ice camera? Not sure how production can miss it.

Let’s stick to Schloss’ reverse jinx theme and keep highlighting how unbeatable Latkoczy will be in the playoffs. I don’t see him letting in a single goal all weekend. 😏

7:07/6:07/6:07 (if necessary)

And more importantly, a 99% chance of a 1 seed (Top 4).

OSU/MSU starting the 13th round of the shootout.

And while a highly physical series with Miami is fun (and we can certainly play that style); I’d prefer to avoid the heightened injury risk that comes with it.

I got the sense in interviews with Homer this week that a start back home seemed like a possibility in his mind. I’m sure the first step was clinching tonight but who knows all the factors in play.

UND has yet to be held without a point in a series this year as well.
