“It’s too much pressure playing for this team that can’t win an NCAA tournament game, if we even make it, so I’ll just transfer to the reigning national champions.”

Weird. 

Not sure if you're being dense or deliberately obtuse to not understand how much more pressure is on you playing for UND vs Quinnipiac.

I do not understand how UND has been swept this year by CC. UND has some good wins and yet has been easily handled by CC. They are the last team UND wants to play in the postseason. 

I don’t believe that to be true. Maybe for some fans, but not the team. They would certainly embrace the challenge to play them again this season.

Having a stacked team guarantees it, like 1997 Michigan, 2010 UND, etc… 

I’d love to know who would have won championships over the last 40 years if there were 5 game series instead of one and done.  My guess is we’d have picked up 2-4 others (including the lost year) and lost 1 or 2 as well.

Hockey has, statically, the largest variance in actual result versus implied result of the major sports (tennis is last).  You have to be good, but luck has to be on your side to win.

 

I’ve always said what you just stated/agree fully.

Neither.  But boy, I wonder how he’ll handle Detroit/NHL where beat reporters actually offer critical takes about the teams they follow; maybe he transfers to the Grand Rapids Griffins?

Question, when ESPN has the regionals on ESPN-U, historically have you been able to watch them on ESPN Plus or would you need to have the ESPN-U channel to watch it? I trying to time my Fubo TV month subscription so I get this weeks game on CBS-SN as well as the regional weekend.

They have posted Duncan's final skate. A special moment his kids will remember forever. 

It was so cool. Duncs was a helluva player, but he's a million times better as a human being. Deserves every bit of the praise he got

Good for you, Goon.   I thought it was very cool, and the players obviously did as well.   Who says he's old.

Blake having himself quite a year compared to past UND players and in NCHC scoring:

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/weekend-rewind-could-jackson-blake-pull-off-a-rare-feat-this-season

Quote

Blake now has 47 points this season.

The only UND players to hit that mark in the last decade were Brock Boeser (60 points) and Drake Caggiula (51) during the 2015-16 NCAA national championship-winning season.

Prior to that, Danny Kristo (52) and Corban Knight (49) did it in 2012-13. Others in the last 20 years are Brock Nelson (47) in 2011-12, Matt Frattin (60) in 2010-11, Ryan Duncan (57) and T.J. Oshie (52) in 2006-07, Drew Stafford (48) and Travis Zajac (47) in 2005-06, and Brandon Bochenski (60) and Zach Parise (55) in 2003-04.

Blake is up to 89 points in his career, making the Century Club attainable this season.

Blake just needs four points to set a new NCHC conference points record:

Quote

In National Collegiate Hockey Conference play, Blake has 32 points in 20 games.

He's just three shy of the NCHC record of 35, set by UND's Brock Boeser in 2015-16 and Denver's Bobby Brink in 2021-22. Denver's Henrik Borgstrom had 33 in 2017-18. Nobody else has tallied more than Blake's 32 in the 11-year history of the league.

One point per remaining game would give him that record.

Fantastic stuff here for UND. Chiclets and Grinelli are a massive brand for hockey and this partnership is a big deal, IMO. 

 

This is a big deal. I expect to see a Chiclets U episode on youtube in the coming days. I watched the Penn State edition and it was really cool.

They have done ASU, UMass, BC, Penn State, and UND so far.

Sounds like Jamernik has decided to come back for next season using the final extra covid year. He won't take part in this weekends Senior Day.

Fine by me. I like his game…plays his role well. Also, he only played a half year during his frosh season.

Next year's captain if Gaber goes, and I'm all for it.

I'm guessing Gaber goes. He's shown he can be the focal point of offense; he's shown he can be the supplemental star to someone else (Blake). His resume is complete. Not much more to do in the college game.
