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.
