No Blaisdell today. Interesting

Ryan Chesley down time UND and the goofs

Well I guess I’m confused then

Here it is. It would be tough for this to be a lengthy activity. It would make too many local folks upset.

I'm not sure, I've never felt so strongly about something that I would approach any sort of activism activities. I do understand why they've chosen this time....just asking a question whether there would be a better time as to not create any sort of further divisiveness. Are there issues with inequality in this country? Sure, but it's gotten a whole lot better than it used to be (I understand this isnt the greatest take). But to stick up the middle finger at another group of people isnt the solution...from my perspective. I know one larger donor in particular that is seriously questioning his donation...to the point where he's questioning why these two weren't sat. I attempted to inform him that Berry's hands are tied and that it would be terrible PR to sit this boys....but nothing really got through. I'm somewhat hoping they back off the kneeling.

I definitely understand that they aren't trying to disrespect the flag, or the country, by kneeling and more using this specific time to draw attention to another cause. However, I simply wish these folks would choose another time/place or platform to call attention to these social issues. By selecting this one specific time (i.e. the time our society has chosen to respect the freedoms we do have) I think it creates more divisiveness. It's not very well thought out at all....it's almost as if they're looking to "poke the bear". My 2 cents.

Agreed. He’ll be much more dominant...these guys are just knocking the rust off. Some of those forwards need to wake up a bit.

Sloppy third, oh well first game. Some guys looked good, others I was unimpressed with. On to Friday

Yep...Gaber looks like a top 6 guy from the get go

Lineup is interesting...not what I would have guessed

I have never understood the whole kneeling thing...but for the sake of the program, I’m hoping Bubs would never sit them or it would go national quick

Anyone else not have their auto renewal go through? I just noticed they didnt auto renew me even though my card is still current. I've tried to reach out and no one is responding.

Oh really...it means he has a good first pass out of the zone. Good attribute when evaluating d

This ones interesting, I’ve never heard of him

Owen Power looks to be a cheat code, haven’t seen a frosh that dominant since Eichel.

A touted freshman or touted freshmen?

Yep agreed. Just pointing out that the UM team should be super fun to watch this year (unless it's against us).

? Beyond stacked.

This

Playing in the pros? Again this is a 4th round draft pick. The odds of a 4th rd player playing in the NHL is not that great.

That's 100% accurate.

Interesting, but not surprising these days. We'll see what Bubs does now.

I do agree with this. A 13 year old should have known better. He was punished though...whether it was enough we don't quite know yet. Bubs has felt this kid could fit in, I'm fine with giving him a shot. As I've said 2-3 times before, I'm sure his leash is really short. Just because of his circumstances doesn't mean he shouldn't be given a second chance to pursue a dream.

Everyone is making assumptions...I'm sure Berry HAS made character assumptions and has done some due diligence on all this a couple years ago and continued to follow up. I am going to say this again, Mitchell Miller is a solid looking prospect....but he's no blue chip. Berry would NEVER have taken this kid if he thought there was a high level of character/culture risk. I'm hoping Bubs takes the Nick Saban approach on this.

Again, this "two years ago" was a he said she said type of thing. No one really knows what happened. We do know he bullied a developemntally challanged kid in middle school. Everything else is from the mom (who know one knows). All his former coaches said he's been perfect the past few years. Bubs does not take "bad apples" and if one slips through the cracks (and there has been 1-3 the past 10 years) they are sent packing fairly quickly. I have pretty decent intel into several situations where he sent kids packing. Bubs is always known for passing on high end kids for not fitting the character of someone who fits in at UND. Let me point one thing out....this kid is good, but not THAT good.
