I'm worried because even missing some guys I think they are literally the biggest games of the season. Of course we SHOULD beat them. Mercyhurst is the worst team in college hockey and even allowing a Robert Morris like goal to go to OT would be a disaster. On top of that we're coming out of the break with no students in the stands. If this isn't a trap series, I don't know what is.

Honestly Denver has a few games to be worried about coming selection time OTW vs Air Force Loss to Lindenwood OTL to Anchorage

Sounds like there's a potential to be missing A TON of players for the Mercyhurst series if the WJC guys all made their teams. (this is a good problem to have by the way) The final game in Switzerland is December 31st and Friday vs Mercyhurst is January 2nd. If a doomsday scenario where everyone makes their teams and some crazy winter weather stalled the guys coming back from Switzerland we could be without: Forwards Cole Reschny WJC Ollie Josephson WJC Mac Swanson WJC Will Zellers WJC Defensemen Keaton Verhoeff WJC Jake Livinavage Spengler Abram Wiebe Spengler EJ Emery WJC Sam Laurila WJC Anyone know if Sandy and Homer/Spunar can play D? James - Rickwood - Kernan Croal - Klee - Strinden Menghini - Andrew - Littler Young Strathman - Zmolek Jubenvil - Engel

Bonus points if he did the Jordan Spieth “Go get that” to you 😄

Powers has to be the most insufferable coach in college hockey with his "no one believes in us" shtick, hope we steamroll these clowns

You mean unless one of them plays out of their mind, we'll see them both playing?

Dang, I was really excited for that. Worked at the old one back in the early 2000s so it's got a lot of nostalgia for me($5.25/hr but you get free movies and concessions!😆). If someone came in and did all the updates that were promised, the place would be packed.

That was before the extra teams, correct. Now it’s UMD

What’s the update on that? Thought we were getting a fancy new upgraded movie theater at the carmike location

Couldn’t take anyone serious in the 2nd half of last season that was lobbying for Hobie to play over TJ. It was clear who the better option. I understand wanting to start the development but Hedquist wasn’t that guy

UND now 5th

They’re just practicing for when they ask to transfer here

UND is currently 7th in NPI Just FYI Minnesota is 44th 😁 CC at 35th is the worst ranked team in the NCHC

Menghini was pressing so hard for a goal at the end of Saturday’s game

.973 through your first 2 college starts? Yeah we like that

If we're going by the eye test(yes I know my glasses tint my vision green) UND is a more complete team. UND rolled 4 lines all weekend from what I could tell and it felt like UMD put the Plante line back out at every available opportunity. So the Plante line and the goalie Gajan is what they depend on. And when they get stymied by an opponent, Saturday night happens.

60/40 if won in 3on3, if it goes to a shootout it's a tie. Here's a good breakdown https://www.collegehockeynews.com/info/?d=npi

Their exit interview:

Kid is becoming a force

Have a feeling Ollie is going to be a fan favorite

I mean, 2 years is a long time to laugh 😆

Don’t care how many points Perron has, he’d never fit the way this team plays. He’s not capable

Huh? We ended their season in their own rink last year

If that’s our biggest concern from the wkd, I’d say we are doing great

As much as I think Homer has great qualities if he could be a little more conservative coming out of net and figure out how to use his glove hand, the best situation is having Jan take the net and run with it. Start the goaltender development again and have Heil come in next year to challenge for minutes and off we go
