Holy Cross @ UND - Season Opener

[stoneySIOUX]

Let's get this going!

Feeling even more excited about the team after watching the rookies look incredibly ready to contribute.

This needs to be and should be a sweep.

Mr. Blake needs to understand that time and space won't be like it was before college. He got one lesson in that from the Bisons in the second.

But also found plenty for himself. He'll learn, but he'll also turn some heads doing it!

Albrecht Kunz and Strinden would be a brutal line to play against.

And that was Manitoba.    But he will deal some pucks.   Just a little like Grimaldi, his linemates better be ready.   Hopefully, he has his dad's grit.

Heavily line 2.0. 

Then could still have a shut down line of Hain, Jammer, Senden. 

That’s some nice options to have.

Exactly. You need to keep that head on a swivel against the maroon menaces from Denver, Duluth, and UMTC.

The PWR implications are huge.

Must sweep or 1-0-1 series

We agree, but even though players from those schools will be faster and older than Bison players (I think), guys who grew up playing hockey north of the border probably did so in a culture that believed if you got your bell rung, no matter how loud, because you had your head down, it's all on you.  It's not that way so much in college hockey nowadays.

1-0-1?  At home?  Surely, you jest!

[Wilbur]

The line that got scored on was Senden-Jammer-Ha..Judd......

Come on coaches....Senden-Jammer-Hain.....

Split the goalies.....SWEEP.

Ness played well enough to be in the lineup Friday IMO. Not sure who sits up front but thinking Kunz will be in Friday.

Wouldn't it be great to have Strinden figure it out and have two centers on a 4th line capable of winning a draw on either side in the d zone?

Strinden needs to play Friday. He was the suprise of the exhibition game. Could definitely tell he has some upside offensively.

I’m guessing this year if anyone is dinged just a bit, Berry won’t hesitate to give them more time to mend, as there are a lot of guys that deserve to play, but may be the odd man out on occasion.

Pretty sure his grandpa is Earl Strinden who is on the board of Edgewood REIT and played a role in the Ralph as well as commissioning the Sioux head as the logo. Just saying.

Opening night healthy scratches will be very interesting…given the freshman class skill set and hopefully scoring punch (lack of goals last 2 years in postseason at even strength) some guys who have played significant minutes might be in suites.

In suits in the suites?

Curious is he is?   I know his son is an eye doctor in Fargo - wondered if he was his kid.

Curious if he had the "impish/evil" quality of his dad - there was something there both on the ice and in the face.   JasonB was a guy you HATED if he was on the opposing team but LOVED if he was on yours.  Thankfully he was on ours!  Hope that trait transferred also!
