I'm guessing that Poolman is playing this coming weekend. I wasn't soley focused on him however I didn't really notice the mistakes some of you are pointing out. I remember someone saying Ladue didn't look up to snuff early last year and that was clearly wrong. Poolman is the type of player that should get drastically better each game early on.

Parks

I definitely think Nick will be better than Rocco I simply am not awarding him that after one exhibition game. I mean, the kid was a first round draft pick. However, Rocco was our best player last year in almost every game, in almost every situation. Our best player tonight was Jordan and it was very apparent. However, Nick's vision and passing was ridiculous and it is evident why he was a first rounder. I hope he brings that game consistently. This season should be a blast, him and Cags need to stay together. I also think Thompson needs to move up, he was noticeable. I also noticed Murphy and O'Donnell a bunch. Anyone else think Sanderson looked ok? I thought he looked pretty decent. I didn't notice Poganski all that much and MacMillan and Parks played pretty average. It's early.

Hit the brakes. But it was fun to watch nick play. He's not very strong on the wall but his hands and vision are filthy. Him and cags looked awesome tonight. Jordan was absolutely dominant. I wish we could have seen johnson a bit longer because I thought Murphy looked good on that line. I believe I called the final score however they should have scored 7 or 8.

No audio?

Agreed pretty shocked Thompson isn't higher, but it's early. Also, the olson sit has to be because of the drinking incident. Looks like Hak is seeing if Murphy has improved, I have nothing against that.

4-0.

Solid move by both teams.

OMG....that game is so bad. Our game better not be that bad.

I like both line. curious to who plays on the third.

UND's style of play is not that drastically different than what teams in juniors. Dump and chase is dump and chase. Playing the walls is not drastically different.

Which year was that?

Looks like MacWilliam, Kristo and Knight were sent down. That sucks, I thought Kristo and Knight may get a chance. Looks like Kristo was cut before Potulny (who is still at camp however will most likely be in the next round of cuts).

Agreed, we need Cags up in that range and I think he will be up there.

I feel many of our first half let downs had more to do with consistency, preparation and effort than anything else. They always turn it around, which is great, however I'm hoping they hit the ground running this year.

The und vs Miami games will be good. We should beat them almost every game however I guarantee we will get lazy a game or two (which will be Saturday's) and their O will take over.

I was talking about a period spanning 5-10 years. One that comes to mind is the st Lawrence series last year, or the Canadian club team. If I do more research I could list 10-15+ more games.

This is my first attempt....Harvesters? That's bad. I'm so bad at this. Valley ....something?

I wasn't a fan of the article either. What he is forgetting is that we had a ton of freshman playing key roles. He is almost acting like those freshman will continue being the players they were last year. Players typically get better each year, if that's the case (which it will be) I think our squad will be able to score goals. I'm not worried about scoring goals this year. The consistency of effort has always been what I worry about with Sioux teams.

I never said I was for it....don't shoot the messenger I actually laughed the first time I heard it too, however I laughed at all other ideas too. This isn't going to be easy.

Thanks

It was mostly a tongue in cheek comments. However the fact he was left off is quite shocking, and you even said it yourself. The gophers have at least one player in every column (forwards, defense and goalie). We had only one player show up in all three columns and that player is raw and didn't play much last year (not a knock on Keaton I am too expecting a big jump from him). However I could name a few others who may have made the cut.

Wasn't Prairie Wolves approved...or was it just Wolves. I heard Prairie Wolves. I did hear about Rough Riders, I would have liked that had RR not already had that nickname for the last 50.

I agree it has nothing to do with the conference, however, I guarantee it has everything to do with what team he plays on.

The Manitoba game will be broadcasted through the new NCHC.TV site correct?
