He has been suspended since January. No one knew why until today. Figured it had to be pretty bad… There’s also this circulating from who appears to be a soccer player at Western Michigan. Not great.

Well that’s not the official line chart. They don’t have the right guys listed at center. Looks like the players listed could be accurate, just not listed in the right spot.

The only NCHC game on CBS tonight is UND’s.

I mean he was arrested for rape so pretty sure there’s at least some evidence of his guilt…

It’ll be really interesting to see which guys on other teams decide to take a 5th year. Sounds like the pro opportunities for college free agents were really slim last year which is why a lot of guys ended up taking a 5th year. Be interesting to see if that’s changed since last year.

Like it’s different when you lose a lot of guys like we did last year and transfers make sense. This year is completely different. Very small senior class and looking like minimal early departures so it doesn’t seem necessary to be looking at transfers.

No. I’d rather bring in our recruits.

Didn’t think Benoit would be here next year anyway. We have no senior defensemen and so likely just losing Sanderson.

Oh they sure do lol. Unless they have changed since 2019.

Miami is my favorite road trip in the NCHC. I haven’t made it back in a while but it was my first NCHC road trip and nothing else has been able to live up to it. Granted, I went when Miami was challenging for league titles so the atmosphere might have fallen off since then. Unpopular opinion but I don’t see so much of the appeal of Western Michigan. Everyone raves about their student section but I couldn’t even understand anything they were yelling about. I also got sick there so that may taint my opinion lol. Omaha fans are annoying. One year I had a cowbell lady behind me and the other were a bunch of fake fans wearing Huskers shirts. Denver fans are stuck up snobs. Duluth has a fireplace on the concourse lol. SCSU is appealing just because it’s a quick trip. If it wasn’t not sure I’d go back. Just wasn’t anything to write home about.

Denver is not a great road team. I think they’re like 8-6, so I’m not sure they can sweep Omaha on the road. The only NCHC road sweep they have was at Miami and one of those wins was an OT win so they didn’t get the full 6 points. So it wouldn’t surprise me if Omaha steals some points from them.

They updated the highlight video this afternoon if you haven’t seen it. I thought it was an omit on UMD’s end, since I figured they compiled the video highlights, but they (NCHC) tweeted me the updated video to include Jamernik’s goal.

Obviously we should just not lose any more games

I’ve never really thought any of these guys would be here next year, since I thought Singleton was behind the USHL guys anyway, and Slipec is too young, but as far as Hedquist goes, if he’s ready, bring him in, but if not, I would leave him in juniors because we will already have 3 goalies on the roster next year. I’m not sure if we are planning to carry four every year.

Calder is playing tonight according to the line chart.

Yup - Which is pretty much where we have been for the last 3 weeks.

… and where are people seeing 15th in the pwr? I see 12th everywhere.

Jody Norstedt. I went to high school with him. Good guy.

I mean it depends how the rest of the regular season shakes out. SCSU might not even make it to the Frozen Faceoff if they don’t get home ice, which would probably put their NCAA hopes in question. Especially if they don’t knock out some wins down the stretch. So we’ll see what happens with their upcoming games. I, personally, am rooting for a UMD/SCSU first round NCHC matchup.

I think their only win against a team that is top 4 of the NCHC so far is their 8-1 win against us in December. Explains why they are 5th.

Trevor Bruess. There were several incidents with him. Kaip evened one of the scores but then a season later after Kaip had graduated he broke Derrick LaPoint’s leg and got no penalty. (But we did!) We won that game though.

I think pressers are Wednesday. So no

I think if Jamernik and Senden are both out, may need to think about moving Costantini off that top line to center the 2nd or 3rd line so we can keep Ness on the 4th line. Hate to suggest it, but we are running low on guys who have played center. Otherwise I’d suggest double shifting Ford.

I was at this game. They called back a goal for “goalie interference” and gave Cole Smith a major penalty for what looked like running into a DU player who was clearly playing injured.

Oh thanks I didn’t see that. That’s good news then.
