Certainly doesn't help that our best scorer and best dman are out longterm. But that would just close the gap slightly to DU at this point in the season.

I'm guessing the Schmaltz line will be paired up against DU's Devine line as much as possible.

TJ with the start. Every available skater is playing with no extra. Same D group as against UMD. Lines all scrambled. I'd bet that they'll be shuffling quite a lot throughout the game.

Have to scan the upper deck seats to see 1/3rd of them.

Berry had the boys attempting to block shots with their faces in practice on Tuesday. Needless to say, it backfired.

Yes, for sure. Just ridiculous the injury issues this team is already facing a month into the season. You hope that they are using up all their injuries now.

Couple Thurs night games tonight... UMN beat BSU 5-3 with an ENG and outshot them 39-25. Hopefully we can dispatch BSU in a couple weeks as well... Providence beat UMass 2-1...UND is still Prov only loss this season. That bumped UND to #15 in the PWR, up one spot. A win over DU would do wonders for UND...

Evidently Berry recruited a bunch of guys similar to Mr. Glass.

If ever there was a team that could really use a bye week, it's this team right now. Unfortunately they won't get one until after the SCSU series in mid-Dec. Berg will miss the crucial stretch of RMU/BSU/Miami where this team really needs to go 6-0...5-1 at absolute worst.

Berg out this weekend again now too. Last time we played a top 10 team without Berg, things didn't go too well. All these injuries are getting really ridiculous to start the season. I think that means that every available skater will be playing again.

Deaner! It's too bad what happened to Sutton...kid could have gone #1.

Go Monty Go!

Three current recruits were selected to the WJAC roster for Team USA. Heil, Laurila, and Zellers https://teamusa.usahockey.com/2024wjacroster Also, former player Matt Smaby is the head coach.

I think there's a solid group here that have played hockey. A good group of us used to play in a pickup game against the GPL group each year during the Final Five in Mpls. Those were good times.

Gonna be a tough series. DU is playing some solid hockey. Hopefully we can get a split...their SOS is considerably weaker than ours, so hoping that those tough earlier series can help.

It was kind of crazy that amount of players that whiffed on pucks yesterday for UND. Monty did like three times in one shift...luckily one of them ended up leading to Strinden's goal. Wiebe did it twice on one-timer attempts from the point. James did it a couple times, including once on a great 2x1 rush.

Zellers will be a special collegiate player. He’s a goal scorer too. Having a couple elite goal scorers like Zellers and Boisvert will be great with all the playmakers we have in OMac, Swanson, and Perron.

I see us and DU being front runners for a lot of the top WHL talent.
