Our arena is better? Idk... I guess I didn't have any idea how much they'd cost, but the atmosphere alone for those games feels like it's worth the price they are asking.

It's a premium ticket, man. What did you expect?

Might want to wait on their ticket policy. Didn't they do that asinine deal last year where people had to buy 2 other home series to get UND/DU tickets? I'd assume you can buy from scalpers at the very least.

These are the exact same jerseys we've had, but just changing the script and changing the ND to a Hawk. So, were the ones we've been wearing boring, too? I think these are fine. I 1,000% agree, less is more and this is just that.

Definitely, just annoying that a NHL writer doesn't understand how college hockey, where 30 percent of the players come from, works.

I'd be really surprised if we had it for 30 years. I'd be willing to bet it gets redone in the next 3 years.

Ummm. No. Not Strinden.

Yeah, I already was told he's working successfully in Calgary, which I did not know. Thanks for the snide comment, though. Much appreciated

I agree as a whole, but DU, UND, SCSU and UMD should still be TUCs.

Yeah, probably not, but maybe he's got something he can do back home and then get his foot in the door in the coaching world?

Well, there ya go. Didn't know that.

Wasn't he doing grad school at UND? I could be wrong.

Yup. He or Eidsness.

What you hearing/where's he going? Source?

Hahah yeah, definitely not sad.

Ok, so I'm working and today is again slow, so, let's talk breakout seasons.... who has them? Who takes the biggest steps, this season? Do we have a freshman go nutty in his rookie year? I've got Wolanin and Bowen. Christian showed glimpses all year and was absolutely dominant against BU. I'm looking for 12 goals, 23 assists this year. Bowen also grew up a lot down the stretch and scored the GWG against BU.... yes, I said it... 10 points from him last year.... let's go 25 (13 goals, 12 assists) this year. Lastly.... I've got Chris Wilk..... uhhh, nevermind

I'd be pretty surprised if Gersich played center. I'd pick Mismash there, for sure.

Yeah, I don't know. Glad I'm not anywhere near making this decision

They definitely did.

The bottom 6 was way hard to peg.... I just don't see Simo sitting. He's too good defensively and with several young bodies on the ice, we need that stability, IMO.

Slow work day, so I'm gonna give this a shot: Gersich -- Gardner -- Pogo Mismash -- JJ -- Bowen Hoff -- Simo -- Kawaguchi?/Adams?? Olson -- Smith -- Jones/Gornall/Yon Where does Adams go?? Pooly -- Wolanin Shaw -- Peski Bast -- Johnson/Kierstad/Rieger Cam Thome Anderson I like this. I WANT there to be competitions in our forward groups. Guys like Hoff, Smith, Bowen all need to work their tails off because guys like Kawaguchi, Adams, Yon and Gornall are going to be battling to take their spots.

I've been told by a couple people that Chartrand isn't coming back.

This times 1,000,000 woooooooo

SUCH A GREAT IDEA
