And 21st assist as well....

UJ just announced the hire of Jim Zalesky as its new wrestling coach. WOW. Previously coached out at Oregon State, and Iowa State before that. In National wrestling hall of fame. NCAA champ 3 years in a row himself. Pretty good get it seems.

There are 3 Men's divisions and 2 Women's divisions in Club hockey. In ND there are D1 Mens in Minot and UJ. UJ and Mary and Bottineau have D2 teams. Its all about recruiting students to campus. Many students want to play, but can't at NCAA D1 or D3. Check it out here: ACHA Website (achahockey.org)

Upgrade? To Bucci/Melrose? The only upgrade is to get rid of Pierre McGuire......... Yet to see just how many games they broadcast live, not just NY vs. Pittsburgh or Boston vs Philly over and over. TNT holds better hope in my book.

Pinto- a rookie- doing D zone face offs on PK. And winning them... There must be some kind of confidence in his game too.....

Boeser had another sweet goal last night. Pinto had his 4th game, played penalty kill, had lots of shifts, still doing well on faceoffs..

Game was in Montreal but Pinto still got a first lap on the ice and first warm-up shot. Said it was an NHL tradition now. Commentaries were very favorable about him "power center- don't hear that often" and "he is a faceoff guy in college, and it looks like he's bringing it here too". He played PK and did well. His late game D zone faceoff went back to the end boards where it was picked up and after getting around the net, was shot for a 200 ft ENG and a point for him as assist. Very nice debut. JBD was a scratch tho.

Watched part of the debut of JBD tonight. TSN people gave him a few kudos comments, but nothing like Kierstads coverage with Florida. But boy, I 'm no expert, but Ottowa looked terrible, just awful. I felt bad for our boys. Hope the new blood helps turn that team around, they need help. No statement on Pinto start. Either Sat or Monday I guess.

Assuming Oct 2 as season start...only 174 days till puck drops.

Goalie runs now at 3 in this game. But no penalties on any. Why can’t I see some of this in nchc play?

This is (almost) typical St Clown tourney play. The only difference is choking in last game- not first!

While I really would like to see another NCHC champ for 5 in a row... the most satisfying thing is that it wont be Duloot. Now I can watch the game to see who the gets their first ever title and enjoy watching it- no pressure/anxiety. So (softly) go huskies?

National Championship Hockey Conference has one team in the final!

More: best shot-er. Uh Shooter basically OT- only 9-10 min left.

So far melrose-isms: minn st huskies mavs play in strongest college conf michigan st er minn st

Late 3rd period. Team up 4-1. TV guys still announce him most shifts. “No missed steps for the debut”. Say 22 teams tried to recruit him. What a debut for Kierstad. If he could score too....

Kierstad gets serious minutes in 2nd. Team up 3-0 too. TV shows him almost every time on ice. 1st intermissions had him in too. Numerous UND kudos too. Nice to have home announcer for first game.

East coast bias fix is in.

Denver is out. Sniff sniff? BooHoo? Nope

I can verify that Dean Blais was the same when I met him at a youth hockey camp when my son was injured, and Berry was very thankful and stopped to speak to my brother and I on the plane back from Anchorage a while ago. Both are great guys. Never met Hak myself tho.

Because you are normal. He is very hate-able. Very.

There have been some very insightful comments here on this board by knowledgeable fans warning we football idiots that 3 quality wins are not a full season, keep reality on the horizon, don't get expectations too high, etc. But doing so by very stating very specific weaknesses with insight in how to defeat this program is just dumb. How about pointing out things less specifically and let opposing coaches figure out how to attack on their own, just a bit?
