The ability to pin Manitoba in their zone and also to track back and take pucks was unreal. I don't think I've ever seen UND, top to bottom, come out that hard and play that well for the entirety of the exhibition. It was very impressive. Feels like a team, especially upfront, that has a lot of swagger, moxie, confidence. Bodes well.

Totally agree. That was easily the worst Manitoba team I've seen.

Man, that exhibition got me excited. Can't wait for this weekend. How we gonna do?

Fri - Omac Sat - Gaber

Just not my thing. I prefer humble.

I always thought the schools did it, but now that I know the player or someone near the player did it for them, I like it a lot less. Feels like.... "Hey! Look at me!" nonsense.

Yes

That's a huge reason of why I love what UND is doing recruiting. Getting a great mix of really top end and solid 4 year guys.

Minny wasn't bringing him in this year, so I am not sure he's gonna be there until 24-25. Not sure about that, though.

I heard the report and legit thought it was BS. I'm blown away by this. Minny wasn't bringing him in this year, but the change to BU, I suppose they could. I'd think he'd come 24-25, but I also was surprised he bolted Minny hahaha

Apparently you're not far off. I was told just a bit ago it's BU. CRAZY.

Just to clarify, not a lot will need true development in terms of how to play the college game. All of the transfers have played a significant amount of college hockey and that was a major reason why they are at UND. The freshmen will of course need to develop. Gelling is the biggest thing. If this group gels quick, we're gonna have a great season.

Tendered! He's a nice player.

You speaking of Zellers? If so, he went 19g, 30a for 49 in 37 games last year with Shattuck.

Oh, I was just picking what I'd consider our "best". I think Panzer has a really good shot at being a quality, four-year college hockey player.

Just asked this question to a couple people and it sounds like with BU recruiting a lot of similar forwards to him, he didn't know where he'd fit. I'm certainly not upset lol.

2025-26... goodness James (Sr) - OMac (Sr) - Perron (Jr) Swanson (So) - Boisvert (So) - Zellers (Fr) Strinden (Sr) - Croal (So) - Emerson (Jr) Pilgrim (Fr) - Slipec (Fr) - O'Neill (Fr)? Zellers? Littler? Wiebe (Jr) - Zmolek (Sr) Strathmann (So) - Emery (So) Laurila (Fr) - McInnis (Fr) Heil (Fr) Cherry on top... Potter

Really? I'm not typically against fans of any team, with a few exceptions, but I've haven't had many positive experiences with UNO fans.

FYP. Ahhh, that was mean. They aren't meaning less

I want to play in their barn!

Hahaha yep. If I had rolled my eyes any harder when they said that, I would have lost them to the back of my head haha

Precisely. At least be MODERATELY knowledgeable lol. The talent, even on the back end, is pretty evident. Honestly, I feel like we could mesh quickly with the type of leadership that we brought in on the back end. Been hearing nothing but absolute positives regarding some of the new guys on D.

Same guys who said our weakness will be at forward and only mentioned who left our D-corps and not who came in when discussing that as a weakness, as well haha

Omaha fans feel like they are being slighted and whining about something, eh? Shocker.

Absolutely loving the mix of top end and four year players. What a helluva couple of weeks for the staff. Brewing huge potential.
