There was talk of this happening or the idea of it happening in the future last year. I'm not against it happening, could bring in more revenue for some teams that don't make the NCAAs often.

An angle I hadn't thought of and worth consideration.

It also could expand the game. It's not a bad idea, us being UND fans, wouldn't like it because we expect National Titles. Where a LIU, most of the CCHA, and AHA this is something they'd look forward to.

That Cornell series is going to hurt us.

A loss and a tie with Bemidjj ain’t helping either#attheendoftheday

Due to when they decommitted from NMU, Western Michigan was the only school willing to lose a goalie late to the portal. They should have been trying to flip Hampton when he was at Fargo.

Hampton/his agent told teams he would only be playing 2 years of college before turning pro.

That’s 1 more year than the starter usually plays here, so don’t see the problem. #PortalU

I personally would love to see an NIT tournament. Is it a natty? Of course not, but it could be a fun experience for the players and fans. 

[Blackheart]

NIT?  NAH.

We win one of the Cornell games and we'd be 15 in the pairwise right now.

Same if they beat Bemidji one Saturday and beat RMU in regulation

Yeah, they left a lot of meat on the bone especially in the Bemidji series.

[burd]

That’s a murderous 10-game stretch when they get back from the break, but it will offer big time pw opportunities.

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

The what ifs never make sense to me. Can easily go the other way and say what if we don’t come back from down 2 goals against Miami late in the 3rd and win in regulation?  What if our dmen dont make 2 goal line saves last night?

Right now we’re a bubble team for the NIT.

[Wilbur]

The more the season goes on the more I'm convinced that the team is TJ's and will go as far as he takes them.  Doesn't seem like the coaches have much faith in Hedquist, and thus we've seen more TJ.

Guessing next season we see another portal goalie to go along with Heil and Hedquist.

If that happens, I think Hedquist will be "Headed" (pardon the pun) for the portal.

This fixation with portal players is not good for the program.

Well college hoops also has the CBI (College Basketball Invitational) for teams not selected for the NCAA's or NIT.  Maybe they could add a College Hockey Invitational as well.  Everyone could see the rematch with Robert Morris.

There’s still a chance that Heil plays another year of juniors too. 
If the coaches think that Hobie can take the reins, then maybe Hobie/Heil/Huson.

If not, I’m guessing they delay Heil and it would be Portal/Hobie/Huson.

Heil seems to be have playing well lately so that's encouraging at least but you goalies are always tough.
