DU / Notre Dame and MSUM / UMN should both be good early season games. Interested to see how the BSU / ASU game goes as well.

Phew.

Lindenwood leads UM 2-1

QU is going to be a test for UND next weekend for sure. Does BC look as poor as people have predicted for this season?

Lindenwood is gonna have a pretty good SOS by the end of this season. Start off by playing UMN and UM on back to back weekends. Sprinkle in a pair of games against UW, DU, and UND later on this year.

The two things that always stand out to me on that entire play are the initial pass off the boards to spring the rush...and how RPotulny absolutely just gave up on the play the second the puck was poked off his stick.

What do you mean by that?

Big kid for a 15yo.

Whenever I think of Kevin, I always laugh at the clip from the movie "He's Just Not That Into You". Featuring a short clip from the 2000 UND/Niagara NCAA tourney game. https://fightinghawks.com/news/2009/2/9/3666657.aspx Here's the actual clip: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/a862d317-a946-4580-af01-9565deeb097b I enjoyed meeting Speez once when UND played against Notre Dame at the Shillelagh Tourney in IL.

Schloss update says that all players are cleared to play this weekend except for Montgomery and Bast.

In suits in the suites?

Correct! Especially with their high ranking and high hopes of their fans...can't kill off those dreams just yet.

WMU/UAA tied at 1 now still in the 2nd

WMU 1-0 over UAA in 2nd

6-4 UMN final over Lindenwood

They must be afraid of playing in front of the big crowds. That will pose a problem for them if they reach the NHL. Unless they play for the Coyotes, of course.

Yep, hometown refs didn't want to see their beloved team be so close in score...back to back PP for UMN results in back to back PPG. 6-4 UMN now

You know UMN will pull it off, but it's currently tied at 4-4 in the UMN / Lindenwood game in the 3rd period.

Hopefully we can take care of business against ASU in a few weeks as well. After last year and the Penn St debacle...that certainly didn't help our PWR.

UMN up 4-0 over Lindenwood. Cooley already with 2g. Does MSUM have some issues in net to address this season?

A lot to like watching this first game. I know that Manitoba isn't the highest level of competition, but I was mainly watching the newcomers, and they all showed that they belong. If Blake, James, and McLaughlin can contribute and continue that level of play moving forward, that will add a ton to our offense. DeRidder looked ok with limited quality shots faced. Special teams looked good aside from the penalties committed at the end. A solid weekend is needed next against Holy Cross, as after that it jumps right into the quality OOC opponents with QU, UMN, and ASU. Hoping to start 2-0 against HC and then at least split with QU/UMN the weekends after that.

42-12 SOG

Our first 5min major of the year.
