Yon named an assistant captain for the Force and it appears Cakebread did not make the final roster. Was he traded or sent to the NAHL?

Think I saw a tweet that media day is tomorrow in the cities. Ausmus will be there as the captain.

Word on the street is that he was cut to get him focused onhockey, and not his girlfriend.

About a week to the exhibition opener. 

Somebody go and ring the bell.

Is the door still open for Cakebread? I don't know if I really ever see him coming to UND.

The way my ssource made it sound, it isn't likely he ever sees campus.

The first half of the season is going to be brutal. 20 games before Christmas of which 13 are on the road. We start with 6 non-conference games, 5 on the road. Then play the Number 11 (Miami- at home) , Number 17 (St Cloud- away), Number 5 (Denver- at home) and Number 2 (Duluth- away). Throw in away games at CC and Michigan State and home games against Wisconsin and you have an extremely tough schedule. Along with a new coach, new goalie, and 10 freshmen what are the odds we come out of the first 20 games  above .500?

Being realistic, I'm expecting us to be at a 9-11 record before Jan. 1. With enough non-conference losses to keep us out of the NCAAs unless we win the NCHC tourney or are unbeatable the second half of the season.

 

How USCHO could rank us at Number 4 in the country when bringing in 10 freshmen is beyond me. We need to hope for an Omaha like season like they had last year where their freshmen led them in scoring and they got great goaltending from a returning player that was so-so earlier.

 

I am still really looking forward to this season with so many unknowns besides our D.

 What?  You do realize other teams lose players as well.  There is no way we go 9-11 before Jan 1, have you looked at our schedule?  Pretty cupcake until the conference play.  Yes we are bringing in young players but several of them will make an immediate impact and one could be the best player on our team.  I am perfectly content with our group of forwards and our defense is easily the best in the country (and it really is not all that close).  The only area I am a tiny bit worried about is our goal-tending however bringing in one of the better goalie prospects in this year's draft should be adequate.
