AJS Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 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 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlossman was just throwing out names that are probably at the top of the list for a guy who can play heavy minutes but there are probably also other targets.

With Warren playing so many minutes for BC, I am very curious why they didn't bring him back with such a great group of freshmen coming in. Does anyone have any info as to why he isn't going back there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Looks like our freshmen D will be asked to grow up fast. Hopefully, their on-ice IQ will enable them to slow the game down sooner than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me, that is like us not wanting a big minute eater like Frisch back. Just seemed curious, especially when you do have a young group coming in.

What happened at Minnesota last year would be the same thing as BC this year. The Boston College Freshman class is so loaded. There is no pushing back, they need to come in and play. Edit: These kind of moves from Boston College and Minnesota, answer the "what kind of program are you". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, BC’s incoming class is nice and appears to be nicer the following year if my memory serves me right…but there are sophomores, juniors etc that need the opportunity to play bigger minutes/better roles. Keeping a guy for that 5th year comes across with a bit of desperation from my angle. Especially considering teams like BC, MN, UM, BU etc recruit well year over year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm closely watching what happens with Albrecht / Portal Forward. If both happen, there's becoming a pattern that I really do think is damaging for the program long term. As I post this, Portz hits the portal. This is going to sound harsh, but I love this move. Kudos to Berry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Bets that Ports lands at SCSU or one of the Minnesota purple teams (StT or MSU-M). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a situation where you want to be sensitive a bit. This isn't anything against Portz in general. With what I can assume Albrecht coming back, that left this team with four (5, 11, 13, 20) I would say pretty interchangeable Forwards. Hoping this works out best for both parties. Portz gets more minutes, UND ups the talent level at Forward, while staying at 15 guys (Adding a portal forward). As someone who's been critical of Berry, this is one of those tough calls that I think he really nailed. Good luck Nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 A few data points for Cameron Berg: he took the fourth most face-offs for Omaha last year, winning 52.8%. Also, he was at 0.65 pts/game as a sophomore, he led Omaha in PIM, and he's a fourth-round pick (NYI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianvf Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 If a portal forward gets added (Berg?), the numbers didn’t add up. If Albrecht is staying, another forward needed to hit the portal too. This makes sense from a numbers perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those F didn’t play a minute. My guess is they will be back to the 15F formula again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
