Week#2....Here comes the Q.

[Blackheart]

Their roster shows ten Graduate Students/Seniors combined so they are not lacking in experience.  With their stud goalie, kinda sounds like a Mankato recipe for building their team.

Too early in the year to take much stock in a 2-2 tie with LIU.  Should be an excellent early test for our boys.

Go Sioux!

Sounds like a fine reason for the heavy lines to dump and bang away at their defense.

Omg, I forgot about Rand Peckbold. Ugh, dislike that dude.

In all honesty, of all the teams we played last year, I thought they were the best. I haven't taken a deep dive, but I know their stud goalie is back. They played a crazy good possession game last year, so I expect something similar. 

We have plenty of guys who thrive in that possession game. Looking at Hain, Sendo, Jammer. It feels like we have more skill this year and if we can wear the game down and match their grind, I feel like this could be a good weekend. 

Would love a sweep, but anything more than one win this weekend should be well received. I say we win and tie... Take the 66% in the PWR with an OT winner. I'd be thrilled. 

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.  UND beating them last year on their home ice was huge. I expect a hard-fought series.

Speaking of Schloss.

Anything less then 1-0-1 is unacceptable

HC's coach was on the Q staff in Tampa in 2016. 

How do I know there'll be a call from Worcester, MA, to Hamden, CT, sometime this week. 

[fightingsioux4life]

I'll just leave this here.

PS: Please note the burning of an NDSU Bison t-shirt at 6:40.

Okay, be honest, how many had Chris Jandric to be the FIRST UND defenseman to win NCHC honors as a POtW?

Congrats!

and thank you!! for messing up The Q's scouting and preparation   ("which pair is their top pair again coach?")

Of the guys they got last year in the portal I was the most impressed with Jandric.  Love his game.  Keeps it so so simple. and he'd be top pair a lot of places around the country.  Being who he is will allow Johnson the opportunity to jump into the play and show us some of that offense that he is capable of providing from the blue line.

Next year we may be a bit thin on the d side of things, but they could probably just get two or three in the portal if we're being honest.

Is the pre game video before player introductions going to be the goals scored in the natty?

Rumor has it that the QU players’ wives and kids will be in section 312 on Friday and Saturday night.

I sure didn't. I wasn't the highest on him after last season, but he sure showed up last weekend. Made some really nice plays!

Can you share a link? I can't find it on their site despite it being legal in my state. 

[KCSioux]

I don’t think there is a link in the app to share.

 

If you click on the all sports tab at the bottom of the home page, scroll down to hockey, there are various hockey leagues including college hockey which takes you to the betting lines that are available. Not every game is on the board (last weekend UND wasn’t). Hope this helps.
 

Went 2-0 last weekend in college hockey, fun to throw a little cash on a few games. I already know Sioux fans will effect ASU game betting line when we all arrive in Vegas, I will have to hit that line early in the week. 

[FightingSU]

Im simply not worried about this game. Go Sioux. We will sweep.

I always stayed at the Townhouse downtown, had a bar and not to bad of a drunken walk from the pepper.

And now it doesn't exist.

Canad or bust. I enjoyed talking to the Holy Cross dads after the game at the bar last weekend, they were nice and honest that they sucked lol. I also got to meet Carter Mazur and his dad and Grandpa last year at Tavern United. This is the place to go since thats where the other team stays, its fun to laugh at them when they lose.

Q was ranked #1 for preseason according to which poll? It vaguely sounds familiar, but I can't locate what poll this would be in reference to.

On Schlossman's ballot. 

(Schloss picked DU to win it all last year.)

I heard that the Ambassador is a five star joint.

Too soon??? 

[gfhockey]

I always stay at Ramada. Nice bar and good food

I should add that this trip will include my 11 and 8 year old boys so as to try to reverse the UMD brainwashing process.

Then it's got to be the Canad Inn. Take 'em to the waterpark dad! It's a blast.
