DU trailing 2-0 late at UMass. Guess the demise of Minnesota State due to an exhibition loss to Omaha were overstated. 1

brianvf Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 BU hands UM their first loss of the season, 3-2. Notre Dame beats NMU, 5-4.
cberkas Posted October 17, 2022 Author Posted October 17, 2022 Watched the stream of the UAA vs UNLV games from the last two days. UNLV looked like a club team in the 8-0 loss Friday, but looked like a team that can hold their own in the Saturday 2-1 loss I feel the move might be coming soon with two arenas they could use for home games.

I do not think Omaha and Western will be as good, and I don’t think CC is quite there to challenge either UMD or SCSU in the top 4. I don’t think they’ll be bad or anything but with all their turnover I just would not have had them as a top 5 team nationally at this point in the season.
The Sicatoka Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 UMD is a case not of "how are they ranked so high" but instead "who else you going to put there?" 1

Top five, no, but I think any team top 3 in the NCHC should be a top ten contender. Don't remember where they had us last year with 14 new guys, but it was probably top ten. I think Western might surprise a bit, as I think they are well coached and still have a nice talent base.

fightingsioux4life Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Screw the polls, all that matters is the PWR starting in January. 2
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 I get that polls are a good conversation piece but I have a really tough time getting worked up about them. UND could be unranked in the USCHO poll and I could not care less. 2

brianvf Posted October 19, 2022 Posted October 19, 2022 Quote Frank Nazar, a Blackhawks 2022 first-round draft pick and University of Michigan freshman center, will have surgery to address a lower-body injury and will be out for the foreseeable future, Michigan interim coach Brandon Naurato said on Tuesday. Nazar already was injured when he arrived for the school year, Naurato said. Nazar participated in Team USA’s World Junior camp and attended the Blackhawks’ development camp earlier this summer. Naurato said Nazar will soon have the surgery and that his recovery timeline isn’t fully known yet. Nazar could potentially return in February, but there isn’t any guarantee he’ll return this season, according to Naurato. https://theathletic.com/3705134/2022/10/18/frank-nazar-injury-blackhawks/?source=emp_shared_article

It always is the officials now isn’t it. They’ve gotten away with so much over the past 5 or so years that a by the book officiated game would appear to be a ‘travesty’ to them. They are honestly my least favorite team. 1
