Right? Can't believe it's already senior night weekend. Regardless of what happens the rest of this season...it has really been a fun, fun season of UND hockey to watch. Just a crazy turnaround this year, Dane really brought Sioux hockey back and it's been a blast to see it happen on the ice. For seniors, we've been fortunate to get to see James and Strinden for four years in the green&white. And both of them have really stepped it up this year...career years already...both of them already surpassing their career highs in goals & points. We'll miss those boys next year.

From what I've heard Carels is already in the "silent commit" column. I'm hoping @beastandco is talking about a blue chippah CHL forward, because I think we're already gonna be good on D for next year.

Pretty decent drop off in points after their first three of Gross, Burnevik, and Hall. Gross has really exploded this year after two good seasons at SCSU. Wouldn't be surprised to see him sign as a free agent after the season, strike while the iron is hot. Burnevik has the really good shot. I remember Thoreson is their punk...he'll be the one agitating and trying to draw penalties. Hopefully the boys can take care of business.

Overhead view of the Wiebe GWG in OT:

Pretty impressive stats from the Sat night game.

What happened to Adam Ingram? I remember him being a highly coveted recruit. Seems that he has really regressed since his soph season.

Zakreski taking warmups!

Same as last week, Jubs comes in for Zmolek for the Sat game.

Croal

Hak gave the team a pregame pep talk and Young's dad was in attendance for his GWG: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-follows-dave-hakstols-pre-game-message-in-series-opening-win-over-miami

A couple converted breakaways and we have some cushion. Need to finish them off in the 3rd

Both kind of. Berry was recruiting him but he committed under Dane.

Nice article on James today. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/dylan-james-stayed-for-his-senior-season-the-rewards-keep-coming Side story in there that Jost’s mom told Dylan’s mom that he wishes he had stayed at UND for longer. "We have a lot of appreciation for guys who stuck with us when things were not looking great," Jackson said. "Some guys packed up and left, which is fine. But guys that showed that character and belief in why they came to North Dakota, and belief in the new staff, it means a lot to our staff." "I'm definitely glad I came back," James said. "Besides the success personally, just to experience another year of North Dakota hockey is something you can't really get more of once you're gone. And this team is unbelievable. I've had good teams here the past three years, but nothing quite this good and this tight. It's just so much fun to come to the rink every day."

She’s not with on this trip. Ain’t that the truth.

Negative! I packed my game worn Brad Miller Nike Black so wearing that.

Strinden

UND will be wearing dark jerseys this weekend: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-to-wear-special-warmup-jerseys-friday

Don't worry, Bryn is on it.

Injury updates on Resch, Zak, and Klee: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-trio-of-injured-players-getting-closer-to-returns Good news on all three, especially for Reschny...looked bad when it happened so good news that it isn't longterm. Would be nice to have all three as an option as playoffs approach!

Or maybe Zakreski is closer and they can get him back up to speed a bit?

Dang. If he’s anything like his dad’s tenacious style of play, Bryn should add him to the list.

Same I muted it for both games after the first period Friday.
