Only 14F and only 4 of those 14 are upperclassmen. Very young forward group. They have a very talented d-corps and some talented freshmen coming in, but I could see some of their lower lines struggling a bit at first like many freshman forwards do.
Yes, he's quite the blue-chipper. Scored 15g in 59 games with the Lancers last season as a 19yo.
Denver had an open forward spot (so does UMN), so just needed a body. I would guess UMN will pickup another older forward recruit before the season starts too.
Yeah I read BU and UMN as well in a couple places.
That'd be a big get considering the weeks that those other two schools have had.
Full court press, Berry!
A few notes from watching that vid:
David Hoogsteen standing next to Sweeney...hilarious! Hoogsteen comes up to Sweeney's neck.
How did someone get a live gopher into the arena and then hold onto it for 2.5 periods?
Beautiful pokecheck by Goehring to breakup a great UMN chance at the 26min mark.
And that setup the gorgeous Panzer from Panzer 2-on-1 goal immediately after.
Debus made a few really good saves after it got to 3-3...it was all UND.
Kauk appearance at the 36min mark.
Man, were Blake and the Panzer bros fun to watch...so fast and skilled.
