I think McGroarty might be out for awhile. He was carried off the ice on a stretcher and they showed an update of him in a hospital bed. Hopefully the kid is alright.

Wait...wasn't it also Loheit that injured Schmaltz in the UMD series last weekend? Color me surprised, he's at it again. Strange how these UMD players keep injuring opposing players: https://www.uscho.com/2023/11/18/nchc-suspends-minnesota-duluths-loheit-one-game-for-major-cross-checking-penalty-nov-17-against-st-cloud-state/

Very early look at the PWR, the top 16 breaks down like this: ECAC - 1 - QU HEA - 6 - BU, BC, Maine, UNH, Prov, UMass NCHC - 4 - DU, UND, SCSU, WMU CCHA - 0 B10 - 4 - MSU, UW, UMN, ND Indy - 1 - ASU Some surprises in there so far. The highest CCHA team is way down at #27, Mankato. All 6 HEA teams are in the top 11. I imagine that 1 or 2 of those teams will drop out of the running as they beat each other up in the regular season. Michigan down at #22. The current B10 standings would have been hard to predict entering the season... MSU, UW, and ND lead the way...with Mich at 4th and UMN down in 6th. Gonna be a fun season to watch play out!

Cooper Moore with a 4a game tonight for QU in their 7-4 win over Colgate. And check out Hellsten's season stat line for UNH: 5gp: 3-1-1 // 0.99 GAA // .951 save % It's good to see these former players do well with their new schools, unless we're playing them. Of course, I might have a different opinion of that if we weren't currently having a good season.

7 blocked shots tonight for Zmolek? Damn. Nice effort. Agreed on that being Gaber's best game of the season...he had an extra gear tonight.

Man, SCSU is gonna have a really nice advantage in the NCHC standings to start the season.

Funny how Perron was labeled as more of a playmaker before the season started...yet he doesn't have a single assist yet...just a pile of goals and posts. And seriously...how big of a portal pickup was Johannes?? I don't think anyone could have guessed the impact he'd have on this team already.

Dang both Maine and Wisco swept. Both those teams were red-hot.

That was a heck of a finish to that period. Simply awesome pressure after a few minutes of lackadaisical play. Blake and Gaber are something special.

Blake will be back. I wouldn't be surprised to see him stick around all four, simply due to his smaller size and his love of UND.

We almost lost FS4L after Miami scored that goal.

Weird to say but I wouldn't mind seeing a UMD win tonight.

It'll be interesting to see how many Hockey East teams make the tourney. Right now they have 6 in the top 10. But once they go thru a season of beating each other up, a lot can change.

Maybe Emerson too to get his confidence up.

That was super slick. And he had Gaber streaking down the middle too if he wanted to dish to either.

Owen’s wrist was in a brace during last nights post game interviews.

And you thought Persson had a rough save % tonight...BSU lost 5-1 despite outshooting Mankato 32-15. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/box/final/20231117/bmj/mns/

Would be a huge blow for Michigan if he is out for extended time:

Duluth keeps sliding and Cloud stays on top of NCHC.

6-4 Final 42-13 SOG Couple screened goals for Miami that I'm sure Persson would like back. But a win is a win. And the final score doesn't show the true gameplay IMO. Persson's save % took a dive on this one...

6-4 now couple screen goals for Miami

2nd breakaway for Perron with neither going in.

PPG for Miami
