Does UMD still preach diving to get penalty calls? Seems like that was a major issue with them a few years ago. Hopefully that isn't still the case.

Should be a good game between Maine and BC...both only with one loss on the season.

How huge of an upgrade would this be to those two clowns?

The new Through These Doors has it with TH's call...here it is with the timestamp already cued to the OT winner. TH is a little more excited than the homer BU announcers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALppp8x6YY&t=347s

They ended up losing to Sweden in the shootout, but:

Haha, nicely played.

They'll have to leave three players at home. My guess is Komzak, Emerson, and Johnson are the three that don't travel to UMD.

Speaking of NLI's...Croal, Pilgrim, and Boisvert all signed today:

Dang, out for the season. Ouch.

Pehrson will be back in the lineup against UMD: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/keaton-pehrson-expected-to-be-available-for-minnesota-duluth-series?fbclid=IwAR130h57GDYwElRc0TI9Y1DD69UVMBKx10EliHQSebEy5GA6tM7hJN2X4Mg

I'd take Hensler in a heartbeat.

Those Boston schools just offer better NIL money.

Ouch.

Agreed. His speed is certainly his best attribute currently, but he's gonna develop into one of our better skilled forwards when he's a upperclassman, IMO. If he gets paired with one of the top 2 lines at some point this season...watch out.

Blurb on Zellers and his great start to the season: Averaging over a goal per game and almost 2 points per game so far. Will be interesting to see how well he does in the USHL next year before coming to UND.

UND doing better at blocking shots this season: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-defensemen-are-blocking-shots-at-a-high-rate?fbclid=IwAR3Wg8dUnQJIETA-jdFRmNuAfEWNq4CyPThbgB3Mn-7-U-QMcm-Nb_N2mM4

Good article from Brad about how the majority of top US recruits are picking NCAA over Canadian Jr league the last few years: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/americans-playing-hockey-in-canadian-major-junior-leagues-is-at-a-20-year-low

I'm guessing either Hain and/or Senden?
