New app to text former and current UND players, launched by Jasper Weatherby. Interesting. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/new-app-allows-fans-to-communicate-with-und-hockey-players?fbclid=IwY2xjawNSKUhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHhMHigVdVsk_iVinB2DivwYbzECb65G3wB6deStt6-V_wc8Uc5yu6lEqATD8_aem_Y81AAAeADAqGSK6EBneaAw

Big non-conference series this weekend...Fri at home and Sun at the Xcel. UND looked good against Manitoba. But hard to gauge too much in those exhibition games. STU beat SCSU in their lone game this past weekend in a back and forth game. Should be a good early season test. Need to get off on the right foot in these OOC games, as it doesn't get any easier with series against UMN and at Clarkson coming up.

Yeah, they'll pile up the stats in their four game stint against LIU and Stonehill. Stonehill? Geez. Will be similar to the Michigan/Mercyhurst games from this weekend.

Not as good of a night for NCHC OOC play. Losses from ASU, CC, SCSU Win from Miami Duluth game against UAA hasn't started yet.

Yeah kept checking for blood on an elbow that didn't come within 1ft of his head.

2 for elbow 2 for embellishment

And Tech outshot UMN 33-13 for the game. Dang.

NOICE!!

Wow that was a horrible 5x3 PP. Didn't get a single great look. And only took like 2 shots.

Assuming that UMN will be getting a late PP at some point, being at home and all?

All the players that liked to do that went to BU and Michigan.

Overall team speed looks to be noticeably better. I know it's just Manitoba and an exhibition...but the puck retrieval and puck pursuit looked a notch or two above what we saw last year.

Dang, SCSU scores a PP, SH, and 5x5 goal to now tie it up at 3 in the 3rd.

Zakreski SHG 7-0

MTU scores 2 goals right at end of 2nd, now lead 4-3 entering 3rd period. Let's see if they can hold on, unlike last night.

Other than the penalties, that was a pretty dominant period for UND. Relentless on pucks.

4-0 Andrew?

Our next opponent, STU beating SCSU 3-0

BU up 2-1 on a PPG from Boisvert from OMac. Boo.

Almost time to get Spunar in there?

Undrafted, and too old to be drafted
