So, directly attack him on it in a public forum? Cool. Good for you, man.

Sounds like you guys are jealous you don't get to sit in the press box and get lots of access to our favorite team. You two need tissues? Maybe a bandaid? My bad, bandaids don't help hurt feelings. You do you, Goonie.

Don't know for sure, but I'm assuming it's a small, mental thing. Making teams come out through the student section.

Yes, permanent change. Visitors locker room is on the student section side so opponents will come out to them all year.

Definitely agree. But, the framework is there for sure. Also think we saw a couple players that can finish. I'm confident it's gonna come.

Solid contribution haha

Ok, so Canisius may be the worst team we play all season, but I cannot for the life of me see how anyone doesn't think that the PP isn't a massive step better than last year. Job done. Big boy games next week.

Wouldn't shock me in the least bit. I fully believe Bubbs thought he wasn't ready for college hockey this year and we'll see.

Ryder Donovan a healthy scratch for the Badgers.

Mine was good on my Roku TV. No problems with the stream at all.

My takes... - Pinto = stud. I'll call it and say he's the NCHC ROY. Kid is great in all zones. - Michaud is Rocco with a bit less skill. Crazy quick and battles so hard every shift. Gonna be key for us this year. - Dominant D. Allowing just 14 shot attempts is impressive. Scheel looked calm, too. Incredibly confident. - Tychonick looked so dynamic. Had a little shoulder fake that got to nice chance in the second. He's taken a step. - PP entry was perfect. Great change. Need to snap the puck a bit more and hit the damn net. - Great to see Mash rip one. Sorely missed a pure snipe last year. Need guys who can flat out beat a goalie with a shot. Mash has that skill. Need it consistently. Great start. Go get the win tomorrow.

Other than missing nets, I think there was a drastic difference on the PP. We entered the zone with ease and got right to work. Much, much better. They took away Mash from the point all game and that caused us a little fluster. Need to adjust and snap the puck around a bit more, but I loved the entry.

80-14 in shot attempts. Dominant defensively. Good stuff.

Hahaha business dasher. I love it.

Very clear difference in our entry. We got to our set up SOOO much better tonight than at any point of last season. Got too fine and handled the puck too much. Snap it around and fire. It'll come.

New change this year. Visitors come through the student section. Nice small touch.

Forgot to add who I think is going to score in my 5-1 pick. I'll go Pinto, JBD, Pooly, Mismash, Senden

Be safe out there all of those who are traveling to REA. Leave early and get there! We need the barn filled! Feeling good about this series. I think the guys are going to be very focused, but the Eagles are going to be fired up, too. Hit them early and keep the Ralph loud. 5-1 UND

I'm sure it's pretty glamorous for these kids to think about ditching the books to get paid to pay hockey. I feel like all of them realize, especially a fairly well thought of player like Kierstad, that they can skip Munski's 8 am lecture and make 90K a year playing a sport. With that said, I don't necessarily think UND's academics are that vigorous, in general, so I'd assume most leave because they think they are ready to make that pro jump and not because of academic stress. Kierstad could absolutely play in the AHL after this season. The NHL? We'll see. If he makes another jump like he did last year, he'll absolutely have a lot of pro offers.

I buy that. However, I don't think sweeping next week 4-2, 7-1 or 3-2, 2-1 makes any difference moving after that weekend. We play Mankato next weekend. They won't give a bleep how badly we beat Canisius.

We all know what happened last year. I'm of the ilk that this team does not need to bury this team, but just get the wins.... But, it would sure be nice to bury them. Huge for the PWR right out of the gate. Good start with the exhibition. Keep moving forward.

This makes me so happy. Mismash

Good.

Hopefully by the end of this season, we'll see last season as a stepping stone.
