OgieOgilthorpe Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'm more pumped for this upcoming NHL season than I have been for any other in the past. I can't wait to see how Jost and Boeser do in their first full years. I also anticipate seeing bigger things (35+ point seasons) out of Cags and Schmaltzy too. Then there is LaDue and Stech making noise on the blueline and solidifying themselves as key D-men. This group of guys seems to be the next big wave of NHL talent that UND has produced. For the most part, it seemed like there was a big gap between them and the Oshie, Parise, Toews, Stafford, Zajac era. It's exciting to see this many UND guys, with so much talent, all hitting the market at the same time again. It's an exciting time to be a UND fan. Of the guys listed I think it's obvious that Stech is set up the most comfortably (rightfully so) to be the most successful again this season. But I'm going to put my money on Boeser having the most success of them all this season, even more so than Stech. I know his 2nd year at UND was a little disappointing and made his stock fall, but I believe we'll see more of that true scorer type player out of him this year in the NHL. He showed it in the few games he played at the end of last season, and I only expect to see more of that this entire year. Jost will have a long career in the show and will have a lot of success, but I just don't see that happening with him this season. 1. because he could've used some more time to develop and 2. because he will be part of a frustratingly poor club. Thompson had a good season with San Diego, so I wouldn't be surprised if he got a small taste of the big league at some point this year. I haven't heard much on Luke Johnson. Anyone? Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Luke needed to stay in school. Jost pulling his groin the first day of avs camp is the most Avs thing that could have Avsed to the Avs Quote

Not everyone wants to go for a graduate degree, so if he wanted to get into his hockey career, whatever level that may be, more power to him. Don't think another year at UND would change his hockey path, so why not play, get paid and have your degree to fall back on. Quote

This shutout must have gotten him a contract with the Flyers. He is the backup for one of the Flyers split squad games against the Islanders. Very surprised to see this. Quote

He obviously won't play college again. Quote

cberkas Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Should have sent Tomek to the USHL instead of bringing him in when the coaches did. No goals in 92 minutes, looks like he's not signed by the Flyers yet. Quote

Also, it is not the coaches fault he was injured and he couldn't beat out a walk on player either. You have to have the drive once you step foot on campus, talent alone will not get you to the next level. 2 Quote
dden3 Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Avs send Grimaldi down to San Antonio again. I thought he had earned a spot on the big club - guess not. Ausmus was "cut" but I'm not sure if he ended up in San Antonio or if they will put him with the Eagles. Maybe neither. Haven't been able to track that situation. Quebec cut Vandevelde. Wonder if his NHL time is up. Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Colorado is a dumpster fire, I thought Grimaldi with Jost had some good chemistry. Quote
UNDPUCKS Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 More Stecher: http://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/kuzma-stecher-embraces-challenges-of-playing-at-home/wcm/24d85a20-dcd9-404f-b7dc-2444dc7e5c86 Quote
southpaw Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Vegas claimed Malcolm Subban from Boston when they sent him down to the AHL. That means Zane will be the main guy in the AHL and may see some decent time in the NHL as the backup. 1 Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 LaDue already called up. Poolman scratched opening night, unfortunately for Winnipeg none of their drrssed defenseman showed up either. ....maybe they play the Tucker next game. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 so when Tucker makes his NHL debut he will be the 98th Sioux Alum to play in the show. Theres been a ton to debut the past few years but looking forward , who will be the 100th former Sioux to crack the National League? K. Thompson, L. Johnson technically closest, but the 100th? Gersich, Poganski, Cam?, could Gage pull a Rowney route? Quote
