Well if that is the case let me be the first to wish Seth all the best and thank him for considering coming to UND. Even if he doesn't come just the idea that he narrowed his only college choice down to UND speaks volumes.

It is totally reverse psychology. I would say our chances of landing him are better than 1%. If that was the case he would have never come on an official visit. We have just as good a chance as Everett and it really probably comes down to a few reasons why one way or the other.

Well the U-18 team won gold and now it truly is decision time for Seth. I suppose in the next week or two we will know if we got him or not.

I would love if we could land Seth but I have a fishy feeling that he plans to go WHL because he will feel like it is the fastest path to the NHL.

From a business standpoint this makes sense. I know I have green colored glasses but I have never understood why REA is not talked about as much for a possible option to host. I know other options may be more attractive but I would find it hard to believe they couldn't fill the arena for most games.

Well Seth had great game against Canada. He scored a goal and was huge defensively for team USA. Here is a link to a recap of the game and the stars. http://unitedstatesofhockey.com/2012/04/18/u18wmc-getting-bye-usa-can-recap/

Mario is a great captain and I also thought Chay was great too.

. My questions is do you think the same rules apply to Major Jr. fans from tweeting said player? Probably not.

Or a johnson or perhaps even hrkac himself.

Kind of think it will be Eades but hope it is Guentzel. It will probably be neither.

You can probably even find some people who say he could go 1 or 2 as well.

One thing that will be interesting is to see what happens to Kato's assistant coaches. Blue and I can't recall the other. Blue's contract expired with Juttings next year and the other coaches was this summer. In watching the Press conference I think it was the ad who said whoever the coach is I hope that he keeps the two assistants. Will that be apart of any contract? Perhaps not but could get interesting. From what I understand both are solid coaches.

I too agree and I am perhaps guilty of being harsh on Lee which looking back on it was probably in poor taste. I do agree that he certainly was not the worse defenseman we have seen and actually did a pretty good job. Was it 1st round? That I suppose is debatable. I do agree with geaux_sioux about the heart. I don't care if you are a walkon or a 1st rounder if you come to UND you better have heart, enough said. I am not sure if the Sioux coaches were looking or offered Jon Lee a scholly but I think the way it turned out we were probably better off without him.

The last 10 years BC has done a fantastic job in the tournament. They are a good team but lets not forget last year they got smoked by CC when they had to leave their beloved Worcester Regional. They are a good team with a great coach but parity will find its way to smack them in the face sooner or later.

DiPuma is taking classes but not sure on his status with the team.

I believe he was offered a contract by Montreal but decided against signing but I am not privey to the details of that offer. Could it have been more or less than what he is currently being offered. Yes. I guess only Dell knows that.

I would agree but I would have thought he would have signed last year when the iron was super hot

I guess my thoughts for today are we will probably hear something on Dell and perhaps Kristo today. Yesterday UNDSID said he expects to hear a few more things from a couple more Sioux players after Brock signed but the end of the day passed and UNDSID said no more news for today. I expect to hear something on someone today.

He is more than likely gone. Last week I said Kristo was the only one who I thought was leaving early then Brock leaves and now word of Dell and I am sure Kristo is not far behind. I am happy for these guys but hope they don't think the grass is always greener on the otherside. Sometimes these things don't work out like we hope and want them to. Brock would have had a monster year if he had stayed and been healthy and would have probably been top 3 in scoring in the nation if not number 1. In my opinion he needed to stay one more year to add the muscle to that skill. Anyways good luck Brock.

Couldn't agree more.

I suppose Kristo is probably all but gone too.

Sounds like Brock Nelson has agreed to terms with the Isles. Really to bad as I felt he could have used one more year. Good Luck Brock

Well this is the Final Four week and I just thought I would add my predictions and see if anyone else would perhaps guess who they think will come away Champion this weekend. BC v UM I am going with BC on this one. They know how to get it done when they get to this point. Union v Ferris I am going with Union in a very close game. Perhaps OT Championship Game BC v Union As much as I hate it, BC will be champ once again but would welcome anyone other than Minnesota to win it.

That is to bad about Troy Juting. I thought he was one of those characters of hockey. I suppose they needed a change but best of luck to you Troy.

That makes sense. I think however you want to slice it he will be a solid #2 if Dell comes back.
