Agreed we aren’t going away. But we will need to change our recruiting strategy. I think we need to go older. 

In other words, load up on older players nobody else wants because they aren't that good. No thank you. We cannot accept mid-major status. It would be the end of everything we hold dear as a program.

What's the "we" crap?

I don't see you 'round the board room table studying "the white board of portals and roster management" and making recommendations and evaluations with @Wilbur, @stoneySIOUX, @Oxbow6, @MafiaMan, and @Blackheart. With me there's just six of us showing up, so we're getting tie votes. I'd rather, as board chair, only have to vote to break ties. Start showing up. And it's your turn to bring "refreshments". If you don't we're declaring your seat open and will be accepting nominations*.

 

*Beware: @Godsmackis quietly lobbying using the words "Grain" and "Belt" as his campaign slogan. 

Just want to say how thrilled I am to be working with the MafiaMan; it’s ALMOST a dream come true.

I was one, loved his game at East. Thought he was gonna have a Vandevelde career.

He was so iffy in the ushl, I had a strong hunch college would be tough for him

Caggiula wasn’t really an older player since he came in as a true freshman.

The Rink Live has listed another forward from Minnesota-Duluth who has entered the portal, but I cannot type his name. It hurts too much.

As board chairperson please feel free to vouch that I know very little and even less than that on most things.

@DrunkHockeyGuytaught me everything he knows.  And still I know nothing.

He walked out of a room full of Duluth fans into an empty hallway and the average IQ in each space went down.

We are all around you:  your milkman, the man who tunes your car, who rents you your videos, who repairs your shoes, who designs your check blanks.   We're everywhere, and our voice is strong, if just a little muted. .

Rent videos? Shoe repair? Dude, I know why you're missing committee meetings. You're trapped in 1978!

So we're a more mature group.   What of it?

BTW, please trap me, if you must, in a world where Elvis still lives.   Yeah, I know . . .

Newest episode of the UND hockey pod. Portal names mentioned:

Goalies:

• Haider, Persson, Moe

Forwards: (He reiterated, there isn't necessarily a Forward need)

• Berg

Defenseman:

• Warren
• Pyke
• Palocsik (He mentioned he was unfamiliar with him)

 

Nothing new necessarily. Small sample size and Schlossman's lists in the past have been bigger, but usually when he mentions names, the guy that ends up committing are part of that list. Fingers crossed. For whatever reason I feel really confident that one of those goalies will commit. I would be ecstatic with just one of those 3 D-man. 

[The Sicatoka]

My knock on the D list? Only Palocsik shoots right. 

With Moore plus five freshmen, we're 5L/1R right now. Only Komzak shoots right. 

My top two targets would be:
- Luke Krys (Brown, Jr) Second Team All-Ivy twice … Captain
- Tanner Palocsik (Dartmouth, Sr) ECAC Third team this year, all-Ivy League Second Team as Freshman ... Captain 
Both shoot right.

Every time I see another commit somewhere and UND still hasn't landed/announced one, I cringe.
