University of North Dakota Hockey 2016 - 2017 Season

BC is too high IMO.  They lost like half their roster.

4 out of top 5 in one conference. I can see 5 in the tournament.

They still have a lot left.

John Buccigross Tweeted his CawlidgeHawkey preseason top ten. Gave a lot of love to the NCHC, with UND in the #1 spot. I was surprised to see two Big Ten teams on the list. Here is the list with his commentary about each team

1.North Dakota - Tyson Jost (Avalanch #1 pick) joins @BBoeser16, good D, & a goalie

2. Boston U - Cue The Verve Pipe. @CMcAvoy44 has Hobey Baker potential

3. Denver - Trevor Moore's summer signing with Leafs hurts

4. Duluth - No comment

5. St. Cloud - Twins, Jack & Nick Poehling with brother Ryan form "Bro Line"

6. Minnesota - From almost a buyout to extension for Lucia

7. Yale - Kevin Stevens son, Luke, is wagon material. Incoming Freshman

8. Boston College - Colin White (@Senators 1st rounder) could be in 60pt territory

9. Providence - Scout: "I think Providence has a chance to be really good"

10.Notre Dame - No comment

 

 

I see one B1G team, Notre Dame doesn't join for another year. Quinnipiac not in his top ten is a bit surprising, I can see them making the tournament at the end of the year.

If it has not been mentioned, the "Before UND" sections for the freshmen have been populated on UNDSports.com.

Boeser with a nice snipe, on the power play, in a 5-1 win over Canada in the World Junior Showcase.

Canada looked really bad.

Jost took a bad penalty.

Couldn't believe when I checked the mail on Sunday when we got back from the lake my season tickets were in there! Seems early, but I can't wait!

You killed Kenny!

(Mine weren't in my mailbox just now so that's why you got that.)

[bigskyvikes]

Interesting....

Buccigross must not remember that we lost three defensemen including our top pair when he says "good D". How our defensemen gel together is my number one concern going into this season. I know it will be hard to replace Schmaltz and Caggiula but if we have a steady defense and a good goalie you usually have a chance to win games.

Completely agree, but the returning four in Gage, Tucker, Wolanin and Shaw certainly make them a "good D", IMO.

Seriously Dave? This is ridiculous. I agree with your top two but that's it. I know you're a homer for your new favorite team and conference but I expected more out of you.

Kidding, right?  Wisconsin hires DiNozzo and you have them down at 8?

Um.....I think you missed it.  He has the entire B1G in the top ten, pure sarcasm.

Will somebody here please be so kind as to give me advice on how to properly go about being a homer? C
