I remember when we only had 17 healthy players, they did well and some players stepped up who had not seen much ice that season. But, how many can we carry on the roster? I do not mean to belittle Albrecht. Keene is a valuable forward who we will count on next year. Reiger may be in a defenseman numbers crunch if it comes down to losing one of our D recruits. So, how many we can carry on the roster? Is that a viable option to the numbers problem we may face next year. Carry more than we need and make everyone earn their ice time? It is just a question that I do not know the answer for.
My understanding is that teams are limited only by the number of scholarships they can award. But there is no limit on the number of players on the roster. But I am no expert.

Not necessarily in these positions but this team without new blood would make the top 15 pairwise: Three lines that would play on any team in the country and two sets of D that would also play major minutes anywhere:
Mishmash-Adams-Guchi
Weatherby-Pinto-Caulfield
Hain-Senden-Blaisdell
Keane-Albrect-Reiger
Kierstad JDB
Frisch Bast
We’re pretty sure of some who are coming in but not all, Berry has some difficult decisions to make. He will have to do his best to convince someone(s) to hold back another year. I know there is a limit to how many can dress, but what is the limit of how many he can carry on the roster. If he does not know what to do with one of his returnees or recruits can he carry an extra player (defenseman) who may not see much ice unless we have injuries? Albrecht, for example, is a practice player and it appears he will not see ice time except for an exhibition game, how many can we carry like him rather than cut a returning player? Does he shorten the number we can have on the roster?
It was not many years ago we could only dress 17 due to injuries. Guys like Albrecht and Keane and Reiger are a surprisingly indispensable part of the equation.

The Sioux beat the Gofers on a late goal from Travis Zajac back in January 2006.
That is quite the lineup card with a future HobeyDuncan on 4th line. Who were the two centers i cannot see?

Went into the Grocery Store today, just so I could bang on the Plexiglass in front of the cashier to feel like I was at a hockey game....I was respectfully escorted out
Was it a “Target’ grocery store?

Playing in front of their fans has to be a big draw, Western’s got to have the best fans in the country. I know that we love our team at UND, but their fans are crazy and their arena allows them to be lunatics. They have a very good coaching staff and they have proven to be successful getting players ready for the next level.
Do not underestimate the value of Puck Boy.

Hopefully they’ll also pick up on known lib Rosanna Arquette blaming the virus on...
...wait for it...
...Israel.
Rosanna Arquette has as much credibility as Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh. What kind of people take these ‘entertainers’ seriously.

One of my favorite memories is watching Brett Hextall draw three penalties between puck drops. At least that is what I am remembering.
Guy must have had a way with words.
Anyone else recall this or recall who we were playing?-

Reza is a good friend of mine. His bar has been closed for almost 2 years. My wife and I even had a few UND watch parties there in post season. Reza is a NDSU grad, but even he got into UND hockey. Sickies usually has some fans there and play the games.
I have met Reza in my visits to Bismarck. Do you curl with him?
*between period banter...

UND 3. OMAHA 1
Any Bismarck friends know of a good establishment in the capital city to watch the game??? Asking for my wife....
Sorry I am late, Rez’s Pitch is an unofficial UND hockey spot. They are a soccer bar but have UND hockey. Great burgers.

In the US roughly 46K killed and 45M infected by influenza since October this flu season but let's keep pumping up the hysteria. How about the media advocate getting a flu shot even at this stage if one hasn't already?
Definitely get your flu shot. Those of us that do get the shot protect a lot of people (besides ourselves) who don’t get immunized through “herd immunity”.
The issue with Covid 19 is that it early on seems to be MORE contagious than this year’ flu. Couple that with a mortality rate that seems to be 2-3% as opposed to the 0.1% this year’s flu is exhibiting and the epidemiologists are rightly concerned. It comes down to algebra.
Don’t panic, but don’t give this virus a chance gain a foothold anywhere.

IIRC Hain scored the OT goal against the broncos in Kalamazoo.
-
They swept #6BC early in the season. It is going to be tough for BC to flip Denver.
-
If the Broncos can get enough points against Duluth and In North Dakota in the next 3 weeks to get to third place, they will have EARNED IT.

Looking at the 4 teams in the running for the last #1 seed and their RPI and PWR, it still looks to me that the NCHC frozen faceoff game between DU and UMD will be for “which team gets the last change in Loveland”. And of course, for a shot at the University of North Dakota team Saturday night.
i am sure if I dusted off my monte carlo statistics program I could tell you the probability.

There is a great Air Force museum at the airport. Of course, I am an Air Force veteran, but it was very enjoyable.
I am not an Air Force veteran, and I found it enjoyable.

For those going, there is a bar called Nisker’s that is a Hockey Themed Sports bar. I believe Nisker was a minor league hockey player from K’zoo. We will probably end up there after the Saturday game to watch championship college football games.
