From what I understand, he elected to remain home in Alberta due to family issues.

He has intangibles that you just can’t teach. His teams win - that’s not a coincidence. He’ll be a captain here.

Yes, but a lot of people thought he should of been coming initially anyways. He was ready - I get the impression he thought he was gonna be coming in, then they deferred him, and then Carter Huber decided to stay home weeks after they announced the freshman class.

I think there was some speculation here that he was injured. I saw him walking around during intermission at Friday’s game and didn’t see any noticeable casts, braces, foot in a boot... (which might not mean anything) I would think if he was healthy we would have seen him Saturday.

Haha. I’m really just worried about everyone standing near the ledge so early in the season.

Of course not, but judging this year’s team 2 games in based on last year’s results is short sighted. I moved on from last season, and would recommend everyone else do the same.

And that’s your problem. You’re still salty about last year.

You posted this at 7:30am. Could you let some of us have coffee first?

Jones had at least one of these three on his line most if not all of last season. I think they were hoping it would rub off on those three.

Who does everyone think are the top 6 forwards on this team?

That first line is the worst first line I’ve seen for UND in a long time. Also a bad 2nd line. This is how much I don’t like it. If they could prove me wrong that’d be great.

Look, I’m not happy about this game. But we have lost a season opener to Bemidji before. (Last time we ran off 10 wins in a row or something after the opening loss -see 14-15 season). Lack of scoring is a concern, but we are not the only team with this struggle to start a season. Who knows if it’ll be a season long struggle or will work itself out over the next few months. I think everyone is still a bit salty over last season.

If it makes you feel better on my birthday we lost to BU in 2OT at the Fargo regional in 2017.

From what I read, BSU is going towards a streaming based platform so they got rid of the TV option.

Merrimack we last played in 2009, and raised the MacNaughton Cup banner for that game. That must be what you’re thinking of.

Par for the course from them.

Manitoba plays Omaha tomorrow so if uno wins 7-1 you can bet their fans will be crowning their team national champs.

If it wasn’t an exhibition he’d play, that’s how minor it is, to my understanding.

1-0 UND. PP goal by Mismash (assists to Adams and Jones)

Yes we are. It’s on Brad’s blog for confirmed non conference games for next season.

I just read this article and literally noticed nothing weird. Except for when it said Cam Johnson was a freshman when we won the title, which was incorrect.

Also, Guch wasn’t the greatest defensive player either - he even admits it. They put him with Jones and that seemed to work out last season. I’m guessing they’re hoping for similar results.

Gardner is the NCHC Defensive Forward of the Year. Would playing with him not be helpful?

I think I saw a short videoclip of Gardner with Adams also on one of the TV station clips, but would need to view again. Agree about starting the season keeping the Jones line in tact - already know it has worked, so might as well keep going with it.

But this has been an eerily quiet offseason and an even quieter preseason, so... not just for UND, but it’s just seeemed real quiet across college hockey.
