Hain and Blaisdell scratched in favor of Casey Johnson and Josh Rieger we’ll see how that one works out...

I actually thought it was the right move. I had mentioned it to a friend last weekend actually. He is good defensively but was also really struggling on Faceoffs (35%) and we have other guys who can win them right now.

Make that a no.

In the 2015-16 season, the Saturday game was in Grand Forks. Hyrinkiw’s first career start.

Well they got those 2 extra games to get their sh** together so ... not too surprising. Plus the other “favorites” in the league have underperformed at this point.

And RPI (wins/losses and strength of schedule). If you look at PWR on USCHO, the rankings at this time are pretty much completely based on a team’s RPI. So that’s very little to go on, especially considering the Ivies haven’t played yet.

I only glanced at USCHO, and am guessing it’s based on 2nd highest RPI, by the looks of things.

It sounds like Casey barely played, if he played at all, and I don’t think Judd played more than a couple shifts on Saturday. (I only saw Saturday’s game). Frisch was good on Saturday I thought.

Yes. Which is exactly my point. It’s way too early to know that much about anyone. I think I’ll wait until Christmas for my judgements.

You mean St Cloud, who is 0-0-2 and Duluth, who is 1-3? Further proof that it is waaaaay too early to be having this conversation. No one has any idea who is better than who yet this year. But somehow not surprised we are

Them too? I know they declined SCSU.

Student manager I believe. I assume he is still finishing up law school.

It’s wrong. We were 1 for 9 on PP

I cannot even remember the last time Mankato swept us. Must’ve been before I was a fan Funny how neither of them said why they think that...

I pretty much agree. I mean, Casey is the extra forward, it’s not like he’s taking up a ton of ice time. Same with Yon when he draws in. I would imagine when he draws in its likely as an extra skater. Though if I see either on the power play... that’s a completely different story. I would honestly rather we play an extra D over an extra forward, but that’s just me.

Lost a bet last year. There’s another one this weekend.

To see below for the video

Probably a better option than that stream. I’ve heard it’s not so good...

... and this is why I go to non conference road games

No non conference road games will be on NCHC.TV. Streaming rights for home games belong to the home team’s conference.

If Fargo is close enough, then yes.

Cloud is only ranked high because of last year’s results. They started out high at like #6 and will continue dropping like flies if they don’t get it together. While we did beat up on a mediocre to bad Canisius team this weekend (as a good team should) , I do think this team is better than people think. Just gotta keep racking up the wins.

I believe it’s streaming only (unless someone knows otherwise) and have heard the streams suck so... yay! This was a contributing factor in deciding on making the trip down....

Yup. This was announced by multiple people connected to UND both on TV, and on Twitter. The big series this weekend in Mankato had a lot to do with that decision also and making sure everyone is fresh and ready to go this weekend.

Wouldn’t shock me if none of them are at the Frozen Four.
