Frankly, I think they could have had two more, if they wanted, in Jammer and Kleven. So every upperclassman should have a letter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a big deal…I guess if it was the case in 2016 it worked fine…just think too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil a good meal.

I mean, when the most recent example of us doing this many letters was 2016, I am willing to give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneySIOUX Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Pretty cool for Sendo. First time in UND history that a player has worn a letter for three seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had this many letters last year. And the year before that. And probably a few other years besides 2016, who I believe had more. So I don’t know why people keep bringing this up as if it’s a new thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senden - C, Frisch - A, Sandy - A, Hain - A .... who am I missing? EDIT: Started with Jasper.... and added Ford when Hainer went down. Also, in 2016, we had SIX letters, not five, so I think your premise is spot on, Siouxforce. I don't see it as a problem whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for context, since 2000-2001, we've had: 3 captains -- 9 times 4 captains -- 9 times 5 -- 3 times 6 - 1 time (2016) Definitely not uncommon anymore to have more than 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...what you're saying is that they better add another letter in there this year if they want a repeat of 2016. Get on it, Berry!

Kid has seen A LOT of rubber in his NCAA career. He will also have the best defense he's ever had in front of him. Feels like he's even more proven than Cam was in 2016. He was the supposed Achilles heel that year, too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for his save % to be as good as it was last year with a mediocre team ahead of him is a great sign. And whether some want to admit it or not, the big 10 was good last year and had some offensively gifted players, therefore, he’s stopped skilled guys. So once this goalie settles into how ours guys play in the D zone, I think he’ll prove to be a great snag from the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he hasn't played at UND? The Big 10 is a mediocre defensive conference, but a solid offensive one. His numbers are pretty good playing against teams that are absolutely gunning night in and night out. Again, I know for a fact he's never played behind a defense he is going to play behind this season. There's been nothing to indicate he can't be a solid, solid tendy for UND. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 DeRidder? Unintuitive as this sounds, can he make the adjustment from seeing 35 shots per game at MiSU to 25 per game at UND. Fewer shots means each one is more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his stats, he has a better save percentage than any returning goalie in the NCHC that has enough games to meet criteria. I find it funny that many have high expectations for freshmen coming in and are putting some of them high up in the lineup, but a goalie that has played quite a bit is a big concern. Not saying either is a given, but there seems to be some inequity in the thought process. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I am supremely confident of the D in front of him. I am expecting DeRidder to be a very, very good addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we provide our goaltender with more goal support then we won’t need to nitpick the goaltending as much *by “we” I mean UND* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
