Thoughts from the game:
1) Very impressed with Stecher's play. He was very noticeable (in a positive way), which is hard to do as a freshman defenseman.
2) Not at all impressed with Mattson. He was very noticeable, but in a negative way. I'm still hoping he pulls out of his 'sophomore slump,' but this game was not a good start.
3) I think Johnson is going to be a very dynamic player. He also has some good chemistry with Parks.
4) Rocco is amazing. His goal was sick, and he did most of the leg work for Caggiula's goal. 4 points in the first game of the season? Not bad.
5) Can't blame Saunders for the first goal, as I think it deflected off two different players on its way to the net. But he definitely didn't look sharp. He's lucky his misplay behind the net didn't lead to an additional goal.
6) That's probably the best OD has looked in awhile. I'm glad he got the goal; hopefully, he'll get a little breathing room from the fans.
7) We were so spoiled by Knight's ridiculous face-off abilities. It's going to take some time to get used to not winning the vast majority of crucial face-offs.

Brad posted a picture of the Pattyn shirts on twitter. Not sure how to copy the image over here, but they look pretty sweet.

WOW. Interesting lines. Surprised that Schmaltz is out (among other surprises).
That is one hell of a third line!
-
Is there a highlight video of zach parise at UND around anywhere?
I'm sure you could easily find one by searching on Youtube. There's highlight videos of just about everyone who made it to the NHL.

Great quote from Pattyn on playing his brother this weekend:
"I'll throw a couple pucks to the corner, and we'll see who's more physical."
-
I was trying to remember some memorable moments against Manitoba. Was it against Manitoba where Evan Trupp made that great backcheck play where he dove and flipped the guys stick off the puck on a breakaway?
Yup. That was his freshman season and the first time most of us had watched him play.

Got my tickets for BU. Also just got tickets for four of us in Omaha (section 123).
-
Mac got called up the Leaf's last exhibition game. He got an assist and was named the third star!
-
I just ordered mine, and I was also surprised at how few tickets were left (though I didn't check for any upper bowl tickets).

You've just been waiting for years for the perfect opportunity to let everyone know about being a college athlete
You know it! And, if you notice, I snuck in the fact that I'm brilliant, too.
-
wouldn't he know going in what the expectations were in going to college? hate seeing guys leave this late in the game.
Probably not. I swam in college at a DII school (translation: significantly less time commitment than D1 hockey) and have always excelled academically, and it was way tougher than I ever expected to balance the two. Even if you can manage the two-a-day practices with classes, etc., it gets even tougher once road trips are involved.
I have tons of respect for all these athletes who manage to dedicate that much time to his or her sport and also excel academically (and even more respect for the ones that do it with a non-cupcake major).
Anyway, I say props to Vanelli for recognizing it so soon into the academic year.

Single game tickets for the series at BU officially go on sale at 10am on 9/27

Pretty sure I saw the other day that Knight had scored a goal at camp, too.

At the hoggsbreath there was a person or two looking for you....
Yes, I did hear that.
My parental units informed me that they intentionally kept their mouths shut about being related to 'keikla.'I don't know what all the fuss is about!
-
Wow, that's quite a compliment. I'm glad you like it. I think anyone spotted wearing one of these hats is certain to be hit with plenty of 'Hey, where can i get one of those?' questions.
I'm more worried about being identifiable. I should probably start being nicer around here!
-
Sioux-cia, Siouxman...I'm easily confused. At least the monikered hats wound up in the right place.
And just like that, we're back on topic! Well done!

MafiaMan...don't be jealous because I took a lesson from you on how to increase my post total via meaningless babble

keikla, here's an idea...why don't you pick up the phone and actually CALL Siouxman?
Just a thought...Hey that last reply was to Sioux-cia not Siouxman! Besides, don't pretend you aren't all absolutely riveted by my Nebraska vs Denver plans
-
Nix Omaha and go to Denver!!
I'll think about it! I would much rather go to the DU series, but since I have to drive instead of fly (I'm picking up a dog in Nebraska), January tends to present more weather related problems than early November...I learned that lesson last year when I moved out to northern Maine in mid-January. We hit a blizzard every stinking day!!
-
That is too early, although one can never tell. I thought the tailgating was for hockey, but after checking the schedule it must be for football. But, you never know. I could be in Grand Forks for football or take another five day trip to Omaha
for hockey.If I'm going to be in Nebraska (I'll let you know when I know), I think you should be as well. Hockey > football.
And it better not be another crazy blizzard, or it'll take me forever to get back to Maine!
-
Time and location please. Will be there with my new hat.
November 9th? Aren't you going to have something more important going on around that time? (Though if you plan on ignoring that 'something' and going to the UNO series instead, let me know cause I might be in Nebraska then).
-
There's a TON of Sioux alumni/fans in Colorado. I'd say start a thread in 'Tickets' (if there isn't one already) and get a bunch of people to get tickets as a group (thus bypassing the extra tickets rule). Better to put in a little extra effort organizing with other fans than to waste all that extra money paying to watch DU play crap games.

Nice recruiting class breakdown for this year
http://overtheboards...iting-rankings/
Also this last paragraph stood out. As noted by many here next years class is pretty amazing if they all end up in GF...Go Sioux!
....
"There are also three weapons up front in Adam Tambellini, Luke Johnson, and Wade Murphy, as well as an intriguing, talented goaltender in Matt Hrynkiw being added to an already deep (but soon to be less deep) crease. And in case you’re wondering, Coach Hakstol’s class next year is literally shaping up to be one of the best in college hockey. Ever. So there’s that.
For a more in-depth look at this class, our North Dakota Recruiting Preview comes out October 1."
They also added this about next year's incoming class:
1. North Dakota
Why: Most recruiting classes have one marquee recruit, maybe two. UND has six: Nick Schmaltz, Austin Poganski, Ryan Gropp, Shane Gersich, Ryan Mantha and Chris Wilkie. Trevor Olson and Winnipeg Jets draft pick Tucker Poolman are no slouches either. Suffice it to say the last thing UND is going to be thinking about next season is an identity crisis.

I guess this technically goes in the "former players" thread...Jim transferred to Vermont
UND Webcast
in Men's Hockey
Posted
Based on questions/comments in the live chat, yes. Mine froze then as well.
