If I recall, Bast made some veiled potshots at "culture", so not sure I remember Tychonick doing anything out of bounds. 

Agreed. Rumors about Tychonick bad mouthing UND feels like All things Fighting Sioux Facebook group nonsense. That isn't a shot at you @hockeytherapy13. I've just never seen any.

This weekend feels like it could be a tone-setting type of weekend. Play hard, play smart, avoid bad penalties.

Hoping Strinden and James build on an impressive series against BU.

Minnesota Duluth is converting 36.8 percent of its power-play chances, ranking third in the nation. Nearly half of Minnesota Duluth's goals this season (14 of 29) have come on the power play.

UND will try to slow down that power play during their two-game series at 7:07 p.m. Friday and 6:07 p.m. Saturday in AmsOil Arena.

Hopefully UND can keep UMD's PP in check and at the same time get their PP rolling a little.

Best way to keep an opponent's powerful power play in check?
Don't give them power plays.

Bingo.   And one good way to do that is to beat the other guy to the puck

Which reminds me …. I’m relieved to have NCHC officials behind the whistles this weekend.  Hockey East refs can kiss my rock hard bubble of an a$&.

Basically all the big schools. Those schools you listed were in the discussion.

But I will say, sometimes It has to be done. If “said” recruit isn’t developing or putting in the work. Sometimes tough decisions have to be made. I was more shocked when this guy randomly named dropped Sandy has never pulling a spot/scholly from a commit. I’m guessing that’s a great recruiting tool if I’m a parent of a player.

Looks like Minnesota did this to make room for Gruba, as I don’t think Yakesh is in their plans anymore.

Yeah maybe. These bigger programs are in win now mode annually…unfortunately these are the outcomes. That’s why when a kid (like Eiserman) decommits, no one should overly frustrated…at least lately it seems to happen the other way around more frequently.
