I’d love to see it, but I doubt ASU is held to only one goal all weekend. Their PP is potent.

My thoughts as well. Homer has looked better his last few starts when compared to his early season. It's still Jan's net for the foreseeable future, but I can see Homer getting a start one of the games.

Homer returns to ASU wearing green this time: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-gibson-homer-an-elite-learner-on-and-off-the-ice?fbclid=IwY2xjawPfxUBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFjajFONG1NWHNsdzhxUHhoc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHndIcqgbj3iGBafD2D0Flu23bnHcCIQSu5BERyFhsOstsn7ZBi5az2MB-GXF_aem_duzr8dIJbp4WFTcL_20HyA

Yeah Schloss mentioned that on his weekly podcast.

Potter is a loss for ASU for sure, but Schimek and Lucius are the two I fear more on ASU's roster. Those two on the PP is deadly. Similar to UMD's top line, if you can keep those two off the scoresheet, I like our chances.

Maybe next year they should go 100% USports instead of 60% like this year.

UNO is desperate. They just added a dman to their roster in late January. He was previously playing this season in the ECHL and AHL: https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/483627/ryan-mccleary

I hope so! I see him again on Friday for pre-gaming before the ASU game. Maybe if he gets a few drinks in him, he’ll loosen up a bit with his responses.

Carels and Preston would be my “dream duo” as well. DuPont if Carels somehow falls thru.

Like ships passing in the night. Bummed I’ll miss ya on both this trip and for the Miami series!

I'll be there on Friday night. My first time at Mullett.

Carels was one that I mentioned specifically when he said that. He just smiled but didn't confirm either way. He knows, just didn't want to tell me names. Yes for this fall.

Heard from a source close to the team today that a couple big name CHL guys have "silent commits" to UND that will be announced after their seasons are over.

Yeah it was on the last TTD episode after the Fri night CC OT loss.

Yeah. Wonder how his timeline will work out…probably 2-3 more seasons before he’s at UND depending on how he progresses?

Wiebe's rights have been traded to Calgary:

Totally.

Who's obsessing? Simply stating that we're at #3 now isn't obsessing, it's just stating a fact. We're still in great position...and a far better position than we have been in since the Kawaguchi days. Team looked good this weekend despite the split...deserved more than 3pts. Work on fixing the PP and a few mental lapses and all is good. As you said...chill out.

Move down to #3 in the NPI with the loss. Now UM and MSU at the top.

This, for sure.

Dang. Now that’s a prediction. That series against Western will be tough. And the UMD series as well. But I like your thinking.

Agreed, that was similar to the ASU loss. Dominated them for most of the game, but a few miscues end up in our net on their limited chances. Keep moving forward.
