Back when Mickey Krampotich wore #8 (83-87), he talked about living up to the reputation of #8 - the last 2 jersey wearers, Dave Tippett and Doug Smail had both made it to the NHL AND been major contributors at UND. He even went back to the '60's when Merrifield and Kell wore it. So yeah, I would have put Doug Smail on my Mount Rushmore of jersey wearers for #8. 1 Quote

Collin Adams Would have been great to see Adams come back for his 5th season this year. He would have been a great addition to the offensive production. Quote

A lot depends on ranking criteria, but yes I would put Commodore in that Top Four to wear #8. His presence kept UND's small and speedy guys from taking cheap shots (Alex Brooks from Wisconsin paid the biggest price/damage in that regard!), and his ability to play a strong and keep-it-simple game in his own zone was key to UND success and got him many years in the NHL. He also played 3 years at UND, one more than either Tippett or Schmaltz. And he won an NCAA title (as did Smail, Tippett, Hoogsteen and Schmaltz). 1 Quote

Yes, the more I read, it is physical conditioning. I hope the young man is ok and can overcome the setback, but it sure doesn't appear that its going to be in Columbus as to getting a shot..... Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 ufff... The avenues to AHL camps run green with the blood of alums this week. Poganski, Mismash, Kawaguchi, Scheel.... in addition to Gersich, Adams, Colton P, and Cam... Jasper Wetherknee remains the only former UND with a chance to make a team out of camp and make his NHL debut. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 ooof.... somebody slap a tourniquet on this thing.... Buffalo just schwacked Aaron Dell to the waiver wire, I'd say nobody picks him up it might be the end. Quote

Buffalo just schwacked Aaron Dell to the waiver wire, I'd say nobody picks him up it might be the end. He had a bad preseason with Buffalo, and last night was his last chance to show he belonged. Did not do very well, and did not look comfortable. Buffalo does not have the greatest D in front of their goal tending, and Dell did not help his case. I am surprised that McIntyre did not get a look by an NHL team. He had a real good season in the AHL, but I guess his time has past to give him a shot. Scheel may get a shot in Dallas if his season with the Texas Stars goes well. Quote
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 LaDue sent down. Just like on the Capitals, Chara takes a spot and LaDue ends up in the A. Quote

It's a tough road for tendys to get to the NHL, Dell certainly has a story and should be very proud of what he has accomplished. Maybe they both rebound somewhere, maybe somewhere with litlle expections, maybe some great coffee and grunge music, maybe a familiar face. (I fully understand the irony of insinuation Hak being a familiar face while at the same time his english estate manager facial hair may make him anything but recognizable or familiar) Quote
