I'm hoping for ESPN so East Coasters learn that the best hockey in the country is played out west. Even with NCHC winning all the natty's it seems they still haven't learned. Certainly their announcers haven't.
Pretty sad when playing in the finest hockey facility in the land in front of the most dedicated fan base in all of college hockey (at home and on the road) ain't cuttin' it.
Totally agree. But on the flip side, OMac and Perron were not the kind of players that used to define UND. Boisvert will be missed...those other two guys not so much.
Advice to UND. Take a lesson from Western Michigan and Sioux teams of the past. Stop recruiting spit weasels. We just lost a couple of those. We need size and muscle in the college game.
The problem I have with the non-conference schedule is that it's at the beginning of the season. This disadvantages teams with new players who improve drastically as the season goes on.
