Anyone know of any Pre-game bars hosting UND events in St paul before puck drop on Sunday?

Agreed on the Kernan takes. Was very impressed with how he played plus he looks massive and can fly around.

Thoughts from the ASU game in person. Until the 3rd I actually liked Hasley for ASU in net haha. (Thought he held ASU in the game until they got their legs, his 3rd period was definitely not good but thought he showed some flashes of why he had 11 shutouts last year) Dowd I actually thought had a rough game defensively just struggle with being out of position slightly and letting guys with more range scoot around him based him being smaller. (Just 1 game though) Gadowsky I don’t think is a hobey top 10 player last year if he plays in a legit conference. McKenna - has great vision but like someone mentioned he doesn’t really have blazing speed. I don’t recall him once taking a guy wide with a burst of speed. The lack of that might make it harder for him to rack up the points people have projected him at. He did seem to pass up a couple shot opportunities so he might be paying a little too passive to start. The “generational” tag might have been premature. We’ll see

Duluth from my view has lost the benefit of the doubt based on the past couple of years. I’ll give the benefit to ASU to finish higher in the conference.

Hak was already a legend in my book personally. Seeing him help support the program in the ways he has these past few months since March has been awesome. There's only a small amount that gets reported about but seems like he's been willing to support the new staff alot.

Saw that both games this weekend are actually streaming on YouTube so it should be free thankfully

The “description” is wrong UND will shoot on the goalie at that end in your snip twice on an unrelated note it’s a little annoying that they divider the rink in half like they did. Anyone that attends a game would want it typically be on the side their team shoots on 2 times. (Not how st Thomas labeled the seat map though unfortunately)

I think it might be? All session tickets we already on sale i'm pretty sure

Would definitely enjoy seeing him play over Bogosian thats for sure.

On a note related to Flo Hockey All WHL games are on victory plus for free. They have an app for Apple TV as well so it makes streaming pretty easy

I confirmed with the st Thomas ticket office 108-112 is the end UND will shooot at twice the Ticketmaster note is incorrect

If you’re just picking 3 forwards for first team (and not filling out 2 wings with a center) I personally don’t think it’s crazy to put Boisvert in over Eiserman. If he takes the anticipated step in his game I think he’s bringing a lot more to the table than Eiserman Also wouldn’t be surprised to see Jackson Smith not make the all rookie team. Have heard some comments on pods that he’s gona have some adjusting to get up to speed with the college game.

Ask how involved he envisions the defenseman being in the offensive zone to make it a 5 man attack. (will it be more regularly or just more out of desperation if they find themselves trailing)

Michigan got a random 1st place vote which was pretty bizzarre

This is the only reason I could be talked into care about it. Superstition hahah

More or less a super aged out junior player like the others that have done this recently. It makes headlines that they are "former pros" but its not much different than any other aged out JR player coming in as a freshman. What is interesting is that it sets a precedent for say an Ivar Stenberg who is playing 1 year pro over in sweden this year before he's drafted in 2026. In theory I don't see how he cant get the same exception and play in the NCAA starting in 2026 if he would want to.

Ivankovic isn’t a sure thing either from what I’ve heard. He’s played well in the big international events but in the regular season he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire

Hope the recovery goes well and yes, think it makes it an almost certainty that he will come after being drafted in 2027. It seems like they'll need to bring in 3 "capable" top 6 players next year to replace (Rickwood, Strinden, and James). Williams and Simpson seem to fit the bill but the 3rd guy definitely seems to be up in the air at the moment.

Victory plus is pretty solid actually watched the mem cup on it and didn’t have any issues also have friends in Texas that use it to watch all home stars games

That was his argument yes. Granted I think red deer didn’t have the greatest team surrounding him and if he didn’t get hurt this year there’s a good chance he’s pretty close to a point per game.

Listened to the whole segment with Sutter and he triples down saying it was a BAD decision for Ollie to leave the WHL early. I'd assume that is just not even remotely the case. (so more or less he's trashing the player, which is pretty petty)

With Schultz likely coming in next year I'm curious if UND designated at least 2 players as "cut" players that are grandfathered in and don't count against the 26 man scholarship roster? If they were to do it to try and gain max roster flexibility I'm assuming they'd pick one sophomore D and one sophomore forward. That way they'd in theory be able to have 28 players on teams for at least 2025, 2026, and 2027. (then by the time 2028 arrives who knows, roster limits could be expanded by then anyway - 26 is a slim roster if your team gets banged up throughout the year)

Schloss and others have said Duluth is going to have a "great squad" the past 2 years and they've flopped. At this point they've lost the benefit of the doubt for me personally. ' Granted maybe 3rd times the charm who knows.

NCHC Tiers this upcoming season for discussion purposes Tier 1 Denver WMU UND Tier 2 ASU CC Tier 3 St Cloud Omaha Duluth Tier 4 Miami

A little interesting to note both Homer and Zmolek are listed as "Graduate" students in lieu of being listed as "Juniors"
