Is North Dakota expected to be a good senior team? I am hoping we can expect alot of wins this year.

That might be setting your expectations a wee bit high.

Exciting hockey on the way, some even claiming 0 losses, could be tough to find tickets by February.

Good to hear. I am itching for the season to get going. Excited to have hockey back.

UMD Jan 20-21
@ DU Feb 10-11

@ St Cloud Dec 02-03 is always a difficult weekend, regardless of how good/bad we/they are.  Betting lines might start with them favored.

No that’s not the question  nor what I am  saying 

 which individual games, as of today,  would you say we wouldn’t be favored?  

seems like folks say we are loaded 

should add - just a fun question cause I am bored

Some of the people that think we are loaded questioned whether we could get home ice last year, and that we lacked talent.  It’s probably never as good as fans perceive, nor never as bad as they perceive.  It’s nice to have expectations but with all of the elements that come together on very special teams, it’s probably best to not get too high without seeing if some of those team variables are coming together like team chemistry, freshmen making the perceived impact, and maybe more importantly the other classes taking their games to the next level.

Should be some exciting hockey.
Are we going to hang the banner during the regular season?

I'd love you to be correct, but I'm not putting a lot of money on that. 

Could they take a legit run at "fewest UND losses in a season". Not unreasonable.

@Minnesota
@Western
@Denver
@SCSU

I don't care who you are, seldom is the visitor the favorite at any of those.

You've said it a few times on this thread, "college hockey is an upperclassman's game". We have some absolutely outstanding upperclassmen. Sprinkle in some new faces with A LOT of potential and we have a chance for a great season. But, until we see it happen, it's all just on paper. 

[SiouxFan100]

Good thing about preseason is that you can be optimistic

UND has faired pretty well historically at Western. I know we got swept there last year but prior to that, it’d been a while.
