Scratch

For me its a crapshoot, sometimes you can pause at the beginning and be good to go, other times it decides it wants to go straight to live if you hit play

Not feeling good about this weekend, I’ll guess loss and tie. Duluth will probly only need to play well on one side of the puck to win. For us, defense will have to refrain from their tendency of getting burned in transition all night long, which I think they are capable of. But to get a win I think the offense will also have to score 3 goals, and I have no confidence in that. Duluth has a top-5 looking first line and we don’t have a first line

I think your right that about Verhoeff maybe being a detriment in DuPont's eyes but hopefully the staff makes it clear to DuPont he's #1 from the first day. I think we're gonna get him

I’m guessing that’s because we got spanked by clarkson on Friday then eked out a win in one of the most boring unskilled hockey games ever

I ask this seriously-Is there a reason on power plays everyone at that the point plays their off side? I think it started with Gaber, which worked for one season then cratered for two years. Why are we eliminating the possibility of one timers? I’d guess there’s about a 50% chance that a loss tomorrow eliminates us from the tournament. Great

I agree that gophers played well and we didn’t, but I’m not sure if the gophers are any good they’ve already lost to Michigan tech who I still think of as the doormat. This teams offensive prowess at a minimum is unproven so idk how questioning it could be considered incredible

They looked good against st thomas, but the schmaltz highlight they just showed makes me think I haven’t seen any high end moves yet from anyone this year. Our supposedly best in the country D has been burned about 15 times this weekend in transition. Offense was a general concern going into this year I thought and idk how that has been put to bed by Sioux sports by beating st thomas when it’s clear at least to me that being down 3-1 with 10 left in the third means game over

Just one guys opinion. How you see it?

I’m with him though, this team lacks offensive talent big time. So far it’s been James and Zellers and that’s it who have looked good. Reschny has been surprisingly bad for the 18th pick

Nchc nickel and diming the commercials like the nfl

Reschny looks panicky

It’s appears strindens sophomore year was the crescendo

Good win. Even though we didn’t do anything with them the gophers got hosed with those penalties. Anyone know why jax gave Simpson the power play? To my recollection it was only bad when we had no talent in the janatuinen ford type years

Don’t get how the sit down with Budge hasn’t been killed yet

Is the reason we haven't hit anyone in 3 years because Kleven got 5 and a game for it every weekend

Unfortunately it cant inform if we'll be good, but it can tell you if we're going to suck, like last year

Just tried to buy tickets to the gopher game on ticketmaster lol. For maybe half a second, there appeared to be at least a thousand tickets. Then poof.

Because there are new Canadian leagues with talent that also need to be watched. Every minute watching the NAHL is a minute spent not watching 4 vastly superior leagues where nearly all our players come from

Can anyone explain to me how bringing in NAHL players can be construed as a good thing? I can’t fathom why Chyzyk would even be watching that league at all. Our August recruiting pull of this and Merrimacks scraps while everyone else is piling up first rounders seems like the berry recruiting method

Not that it really counts cuz there were like 16 teams, but 1950-1966, 15 in 16 years. More legitimately - from 1973-1983, 10 titles in 11 years. WCHA won something like 60% of all titles over ~60 years. The NCHC has been great out of the shoot and hasn't hit a lull yet, but it will eventually like every conference does. If the NCHC has won 60% of titles after 30 years every member of the forum can mail me their oldest shoe and I will eat every one.

I feel the same. I’m sure they’ll be soft as usual but might be the fastest team this year. Which Nathan Gerbe taunt me is a formula that can be pretty good unfortunately

Great conference, but doesn't hold a candle to the former

My guess is a depth nobody transfer

WCHA had its doormats for sure but it had four blue bloods which made it a challenge to win every year. Now all UND should have to do to win is catch Denver on an off year. I'd agree that the big ten is looking more legitimate, in large part because of fucking Pegula money round 2.
