The #mnwild talked to Bobby Brink after the game. He got the scoring started.

Happy Veterans Day from this Gen-X vet to all who served. I'd do it all over again. Without hesitation or a second thought. The US Army gave me a purpose and helped me grow up and become a man. It also became my family after having a brutal childhood at home. In the service I met a lot of great brothers and sisters. Yes, many of us have scars on the outside and/or on the inside, but we have survived. Maybe this made us tougher.
This We’ll Defend.

Was North Dakota’s win over Western Michigan an Upset?

UPDATED: WMU’s Adam Benák Suspended One Game
Was a one-game suspension enough, or about right?

Apparently, @UNDmhockey d-man Keaton Verhoeff is bubble player for Team Canada WJC team.
•There has been chatter among scouts about some tough games both Keaton Verhoeff and Carson Carels have had for North Dakota. Carels has been the better of the two, and I still expect him to play an important role as a returnee, but Canada hasn’t shied away from cutting returnees in recent years, and I get the sense that Verhoeff is a bubble guy at the moment. If they do bring him, expect it to be as a third-pairing or No. 7 guy more than the top-pairing/captain role he has played with Hockey Canada in the past.
What I’m hearing:
- Latest on 🇨🇦’s World Junior roster
- Some college commitment tidbits
- A new name to know
- Jamie Glance a 2027 riser 📈

Hey @UNDFootball360, I think there are grounds to be frustrated with the YSU loss. That was a winnable football game and you're not wrong for wanting the UND football program to evolve into top program. As a alum and a football fan I appreciate your analysis and want the program to take the next step.
Bye Week Thoughts:
With the week off I thought I would address some feedback we have gotten about our recent tweets, notably post-YSU game.
Apparently our tweet/show didn't go over well with some people around the area (embarrassing loss, breakdown of the end of game, etc).
Here's the deal: by now you all know how this goes. I am UND til the day I die, obviously. So with that comes 95% positive and 5% negative, give or take a few.
We didn't grow UND Football 360 by carrying water for the program and acting like every week is the same and everything is OK all the time. That doesn't do anything for anybody. Fans want a fact-based opinion.
Like it or not we are The Unsilent Majority.
The fact is this: reaction to losing tight games that should've been won are rooted in the fan base desperately wanting to get over the hump.
The angry reaction is not in the moment, in that game - it's a totality of the 10+ years of going 7-5, then coming up short, etc. So when we see a road loss like YSU the anger bubbles up again.
Unfortunately, at times the new staff and players need to absorb the fan reaction based on that past. They are working to improve it and we can see the effort put forth is starting to take hold.
I will be around LONG after others that aren't happy are gone. I was here well before and I will be here well after them - still giving time, money and effort for my alma mater.
A few times a year the filter get a hole in it and lets some stuff through. I am fairly certain we have done a whole heck of a lot of positive for this program over the last 17 years.
Let's take a week off and get ready for a playoff run!
The #skol has to pursue a better option at Quarterback.

I have an idea, lets call him a steal of the free agent variety. He's a hard-working forward that plays an honest two-way game. @SchlossmanGF
It would be fun to watch a few @SunDevilHockey practices. They're going to get into shape. There could be an occasional bag skate, too. I used to attend practices on Wednesdays, because I didn't used to get every weekend off and I remember one practice it wasn't going well and the media was asked to leave. Word has it, there was a bag skate. Dave Halstol is a good hockey coach, and the Sun Devils are going to be a force after he puts the team he likes together.
Dave Hakstol used ASU's Saturday off day to watch games around the NCHC and said his team's conditioning needs improvement to be able to compete with the league's top teams:
"It's high level. Our conditioning and our readiness can never be at a high enough level."

Six minutes into the second period and the #NHLBruins don't have a shot on net. They did hit a crossbar.

This is how the #NHLBruins have to deal with #flapanthers now someone from the Bruins needs needs to tap Sam Bennett on the shoulder. Good start for the B’s. Good to see Zadorov’s step up.
