InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 16 minutes ago, Wilbur said: Thoughts: -If Hoff can play with Pogo and Gersich as the number one center this team seems all the more deeper up front. Freeing up Rhett to play with Mismash and Adams on the physical scoring line will give opponents matchup issues deciding who to put their number one defensive combo out against. -Loved the line combos, and Smith and Gornall weren't in the lineup. -Wolanin had a good summer, he creates so much space when he's moving his feet and is tough to stop in attack mode. -Speaking of good summers, Casey Johnson bounced a few Bisons around with the extra muscle he put on. -Liked Thome....big body, not overly aggressive (doesn't have to be) lets things come to him. I questioned Hoff on 1st line center but he at least looked pretty comfortable there tonight! Shaw had a rough game, Colton also made a really bad turnover. Gotta take care of the puck better. Flashes of what we have tho, so itll be fun to watch as the season progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDak Fan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 From what I saw, it looked like this Manitoba team wasn't as strong as past teams who played UND. Did anyone else get that sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS SIOUX Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Just asking since I’ve seen him play when he was a Topeka Roadrunner - Gornall? Is he hurt or piss off Bubs again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, MB has already played 8 games, previous to tonight. I was a little nervous when I read GF Herald this am: Michael St. Croix, the son of Winnipeg Jets/Manitoba Moose goalie coach Rick St. Croix, is on the team. If you remember, Michael was a highly coveted prospect during his junior years. He played on the Winnipeg Wild midget team with Brendan O’Donnell and I’m sure UND was after him. Everyone was. St. Croix was the No. 4 overall pick in the WHL draft, though, and opted not to go the NCAA route St. Croix had a big junior career in the WHL and was drafted in the fourth round by the New York Rangers, but mainly played in the ECHL after aging out of juniors. He did ink a contract with the Rangers. Another name that pops out is Zach Franko, who was teammates with St. Croix and O’Donnell on that Winnipeg Wild squad. Franko committed to Bemidji State, but pulled out to go major junior. The third name that jumps out is Blake Heinrich. He was committed to Minnesota Duluth and would still be on the team had he not jumped ship for major juniors. Heinrich was fifth-round pick of the Washington Capitals, but the Caps didn’t sign him. BUT.... the boys looked OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously some things to work on, but a good showing by the new guys! Looking forward to the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yon may even have been an extra last night. Adams, Kawaguchi, Mismash and Jones all look like they belong as well. May depend on what type of team they are playing against.

Say come MN in 3 weeks I want Smith in due to experience. A good problem to have going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Loved the fourth line....Smith works there too. I think at points you could see Olson as a healthy scratch and the line feature Bowen-Simo-Smith. Bowen might be my favorite player. Could use him anywhere and he'd have success.

Most versatile player UND has rostered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDtoGF Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 A recap and some thoughts. All four lines contributed. Also, Peter Thome looked good in the third period. https://seamoresports.com/2017/10/01/und-flies-past-manitoba-6-2a-recap-and-three-thoughts/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Janatuinen looked like a guy last night that could be in and out if he doesn't step up. He was the forward I thought struggled the most last night.

yzerman19 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Really pleasantly surprised with Hoff on that first line. I agree with JJ really being the only forward that was pretty invisible. D made quite a few mistakes, but I attribute that to first time at game speed this year. Based on what I saw last night, I think you have Yon and JJ duking it out for one spot when we are looking for offense, and Gornall and Smith duking it out for that same spot when we need grit. As always, any passengers in practice or on Friday will be in street clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
