Fitzhenry’s highlights from last year. Pretty impressed with how good he is on his backhand for passing + scoring.

Cooper Williams seems like one to watch this year with how his year goes in the WHL. He seemed to be a guy slotted to play likely in the top 6 at UND but if he’s not ready to jump in and make an impact it changes things Dane and staff seem to be really narrowing in on guys that will jump in and make an impact from day 1 up and down the lineup. Really good example is them taking Connor Davis this year instead of bringing in Pilgrim, etc.

I will give Pronman credit in that he'll give you his logic for his decisions. (granted sometimes its far from the majority) The Zach Benson ranking is pretty wild but he did break down his logic with being concerned about his skating and assuming he might plateau in the next few years while a bunch of players around him keep taking steps. (Its just a major stretch to think that many players would pass him by though. Hard argument to sell there haha)

Link below - You need a password is the only catch. (Once you purchase both nights the password is used up - so mine is toast hah) I think if you called their box office and let them know you are interested in tickets for that weekend they might be able to sign up your email and send you a fresh link with password You might be able to sign up online to get ticket updates as well and that might work? Not exactly sure though https://clk.gophersports.com/e/er?utm_medium=email&elq_cid=1243977&RSRC=Email&RDAT=9353&ehash=d90d686ebd770a18f8030a9b23481a3f8d996ca24ca1891b88c5ab8518db34ef&aid=16098&pid=minnesota_email_eloqua_eloqua&rid=9353&s=2414213&lid=8530&elqTrackId=4E9531815562396E6AA30B0021527D14&elq=99595d9d7e4c422a8e9127f4828fd992&elqaid=9353&elqat=1&elqak=8AF50201F76977F1B4CB92EB57929DCDBE253E945DAF57A76560A13B4E066B3D08AE

PSA - Think tickets just went on sale for the gopher series. If you signed up to their ticket alerts you should have gotten an email this am Prices werent too bad $70 per ticket thursday and $90 per ticket for friday

Based on the limited inventory present day the resale market isn't too bad currently. (hell its ironically better than trying to get tickets to the ASU series in Tempe) I'd assume face value is $100 per ticket and some resale tickets are going for $140 - $160 right now on seat geek.

After I mentioned I was excited to see the arena filled with Kelly Green I didn't get any more email updates from their ticket office That's on me - shouldn't have bit the hand that feeds lol

While on the ticket topic - the Gopher ticket office had mentioned in an email the UND vs Minny single game tickets will go on sale some time in late August before the rest of their single game tickets go on sale Have not seen an updated date sent our from them yet though... Not sure if anyone in the know has heard that specific on sale date?

A little over 1K all in for a pair of upper bowl tickets on the end that UND shoots at twice for a reference point. Would assume much more pricy for lower bowl tickets

If we go on to sweep them on their home ice this year, After a few cocktails I'll be making some "not up to standard" remarks.

Agreed on both. I get that moving on from Rholick might be risky but might as well give it a shot. (In his defense though, that game day atmosphere is brutal for the most part. Hard sell in recruiting I’d imagine)

Was thinking he might play as a draft eligible player as well. Will be an interesting case study because college hockey even compared to when Macklin played has gotten alot better overall. I feel like Joey isn't as put together as Macklin/Eichel were but maybe someone can correct me on that

US didn’t even play Chase Reid either which was a surprise since Canada decided to mostly play everyone. There are some players like Reschny that hate to lose on Canada but not enough + their goaltender didn’t make nearly enough saves (granted no way will he be the starter over Ivankovic. Assuming they wanted to see what they had)

Should add Keaton looked pretty solid as well. Looked very confident with the puck and was making plays . He had a little rust at moments but was great to see him playing with a little swagger

It’s summer hockey - but Reschny looked like he’s already in mid season form during this game. Just seems hyper driven right now. He put a Fin right on his ass during one of his faceoff wins. Already seems to be a step faster and stronger on the puck as well.
