lol he just flipped from Michigan to Michigan State a few months ago so I’m gonna go with no.

DeRidder got offers from over 30 NCAA teams, including UNO. Kucharski wasn’t UNO’s first choice.

Haha same. I spent way too long wondering who was going to be the center on that “line”

Why do you think they were logging minutes they didn’t normally? I’d have to see the ice time stats. Moore was moved to the top pairing in Kleven’s absence, so I could see that, but the other 2 were in the same place in the lineup they usually are.

I would literally gouge my eyes out with a spoon if we roll out those D pairings.

This game is apparently happening tomorrow. I saw Livanavage pulled out due to injury and Michael Emerson was added.

Yeah, I’m good with starting fresh at this point.

It’s been predictable for like 3 years.

His redshirt year has already happened. (Last season) You can’t lose it after it’s been completed.

This has been my take as well. Hellsten can get wins against more mid-to lower tier teams but I don’t think we can make a serious push to the NCAA’s if he's in net.

No, we weren’t even supposed to play them this year, since we were supposed to originally be playing out at Cornell, so I’m sure we didn’t have time to get a scheduling agreement put together. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it down the road though.

Yes, he’s listed as injured on a recent line chart.

Didn’t really have a choice since Rinzel hasn’t graduated high school yet from what I heard

Western Michigan is a decent team but they weren’t that much ahead of us in the PWR going into the weekend so I’m not sure how much we could have moved up even if we had swept. Just gotta keep banking some wins.

They’re active but when I was there a couple years ago I couldn’t understand anything they were yelling…

I think there’s a good chance at least some of those HEA teams in particular fall off since there is a few close to the bubble. Also WTF kind of world are we living in where MERRIMACK is a top 4 team in the PWR?

Haven’t checked today but last night in addition to the B10’s 5, there were 6 Hockey East teams that would be in the NCAA. Then the NCHC with 2, ECAC has like 1, Atlantic and CCHA just would get their auto bids.

If they want to be in the lineup it’s on them to prove they deserve ice time and neither has done so.

I mean generally when you expect high scoring games it seems the opposite tends to happen, no?

Wondering if they took the optional seriously and went without

I haven’t really been concerned about a couple years down the road, more concerned about the immediate future with incoming forwards for next year. But the Emerson commitment yesterday really helps for next year.

Grayden Slipec just scored his first goal of the season. Would be great if it could springboard into some increased production.

Cooper is a junior- he knows.

Exactly why I didn’t expect it

They were never going to give Kaleb Johnson his first career start in this kind of situation. If anything he would get a start in the U18 exhibition game and if it goes well, give him a start against Lindenwood.
