He's a podcaster whose audience is kids who listen to him for this funny stuff. Your point is fair that both can be true. The fault lies with those, IMO, who are expecting he should always be buttoned up.

Embarrass who? The crew of older fans who get offended when a young person talks like a young person? The pearl clutching is just odd to me. He's done more to promote UND hockey and college hockey to the masses than nearly anyone.

Not gonna lie, I hope he gets signed to do broadcast just because of this aggressive take 😆

Interesting take. Back in the day, the WCHA had Michigan Tech, Mankato, and Alaska Anchorage. The NCHC has Miami. Hard to argue against the depth of the Big 10 right now, either.

First bolded part.... I've never once heard this anywhere. In person, online, print, anywhere. Not once. And if I did, I'd make fun of them for the worst attempt at a shot I've ever heard. Second bolded part.... Hahahaha. No. Absolutely not. Third bolded part.... My goodness, what a take. Do you honestly believe this?

It doesn't indicate a future result, like I said. Is there a higher chance from any other player that he could have an injury due to a prior surgery? Yes. But that absolutely does not mean it'll happen, like I said. You're right, it's more semantics than anything. All good. I want him to stay healthy for the team and for himself. He seems like a world-class kid and is likely going to be our captain, IMO.

How am I going with my heart and my gut? Like I said before, I don't think the two injuries were related, so I'm not sure how they'd connect and preclude a potential future injury. If they were, and I'm wrong, yes, I think another injury could happen at that same level. But at the same time, it doesn't mean it will.

No, they've had the logo on the shoulder for several years now.

In order.... C, A, A, NCHC ROY

Really? Man, I LOVE these. Simplicity is the name of the game. To each, their own!

I get what you're saying, but I disagree that a prior injury indicates future result. Makes sense about the prior damage, but he's young, healthy, and athletic and is, from all accounts, going to be ready to go. I could be wrong, but I don't believe the two injuries were connected. Anyway, I get the point, but I just want to give him the benefit of the doubt. Totally agree. He's a huge cog in that d-corps. He's as steady as it comes. We're so much better with him and will be all season if he stays healthy!

HA! Agreed

Totally agree with this.

I've never one to believe a guy is "injury prone" as injuries don't follow trends very often, so I get the sentiment. I think Big Z is a helluva player and until he gets hurt again, I'm 100% willing to rely on him as a player.

I assumed the announcement is related to new jerseys, but I can certainly see it revealing captains. Just not certain it is. I'll stick to my guess ☺️

My pick for what I think it'll be: Zmolek - C James - A Strinden - A Liver - A

Not an unknown right now. He's on track to be ready to go.

We absolutely were. But, MSU threw the bag at him. All the McKenna money lol

Not happening.

Hearing a few pretty special early reviews of Verhoeff. "Truly elite" was how one put it.

Eliminate 1

I'll say this... BU wasn't who I heard who was a favorite.

BU for Martone? Definitely not what I heard.

Man, that trust for Jax is such a big deal. We're doing some good, good things right now.

Oofa. Me likey hahaha
