The old Ralph vs the new Ralph is like when Mom got new carpet and furniture for the living room…it just doesn’t seem like you should bring a badger in there now. But I’d love to see it.

Some day-after musings. Britt looks like he really knows what he’s doing. The d-men moved the puck up-ice quickly and effectively. The forecheck was just relentless. We look significantly faster than last year. Perron. Our third and fourth lines could be really good. There will be serious competition for playing time, especially in the forward group. Hopium level: high.

That was the funnest exhibition game I’ve ever watched.

Attaboy!

Uff da. Looks more like a football score.

This is my biggest hope for this year's team: Play as one.

IMO, being an especially physical presence has not been part of Kunz's game. He's got the size for such a role, and I'd love to see him become a true power forward, but I don't know if that's his game.

Right. You can’t overstate the importance of playing as a connected five-man unit. Quinnipiac, for example, had elite connection last season.

At least we didn’t lose?

Zellers barely a week into the season and already with double-digit goals.

Sacha Boisvert pots his first two goals of the season tonight, the second assisted by David Klee. The Muskegon team has a number of UND connections: three UND commits (Boisvert, Klee, and Cody Croal); Evan Trupp is an assistant coach; and Coach Berry's son Bauer is also on Muskegon's roster.

Britt sounds like just the kind of defensive defenseman this team might lean on, especially early. I believe Britt led his conference in blocked shots last season.

Not doubting the Tweet, just wondering why EP has him listed thusly.

EP has Zellers listed as committed to BU. Is this a misprint or had Zellers committed to BU previously?

That's funny. Is there a way to make it say "Minnesota University Gophers Womens Hockey..."?

I guess I'm always excited for whomever wins the Ironman, but there's something about Strinden that I really like. Hope he has a breakout year.

That would be a fascinating set of results to see. Question: have they always done/do they always do the same set of tests?

That’s awesome! Hope you can find some good stuff.

Woog and Micheletti: two Gopher legends who had/have a completely opposite effect on me.

What are the prospect gurus saying about Zellers? Like first-round draft-pick potential? Where will Zellers play this upcoming season?

And if I guess incorrectly, do you have to take mine?

I heard that dude was a real baller.

We've had good luck with d-men from Moorhead.

Bonds, as in Barry Bonds?
