Popular Post brianvf Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2023 Guessing WMU will be looking for a bit of revenge after we took 5 of 6 from them in their barn. UND needs to play this series the same way they played that series and really try to limit their top line. They managed to shut them down in the previous series, and they'll need a similar effort if they want to take some points for the NCHC standings. I'm particularly looking forward to this series, as it'll be my first series that I'm able to attend at REA in over a decade! I'm bringing my son with (who's never even been to ND before)...it'll be a fun time for us! 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'm overdue for a trip to the Ralph so hopefully I can figure that out. Until that which will not be mentioned, I took the train back for a series every year for about ten years. Enjoy your trip brianvf! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels weird...I pretty much went to every single home game for about 8 years of my life...and now none for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Reading Schlossman's daily article, you get the feeling based on Berry's comments that we'll see Hellsten on Friday. Really hope they go back to DeRidder. Clearly both goalies have not been good overall, but my feeling has always been, if that position group has any chance of turning it around, it will be DeRidder. I don't believe they can beat Western with Hellsten in net. Hope he proves me wrong. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they can beat Western with Hellsten in net. Hope he proves me wrong. This has been my take as well. Hellsten can get wins against more mid-to lower tier teams but I don’t think we can make a serious push to the NCAA’s if he's in net. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw of him during the exhibition game....he looked better than Deridder and Hellsten....that's just me though. Will Hobie Hedquist be the goalie we see right away or will he be another Kaleb Johnson who rides the bench for a couple years while we bring in transfers via the portal.

I personally think he's worth a look, but I think it's pretty clear that he isn't ready if he hasn't been able to crack the lineup with how bad our other two have looked. Hedquist is likely not ready, but I think he'll likely get his shot in a couple years. We'll ride the portal for a bit unless we get a better recruit quickly.

Since Kaleb is listed as a red-shirt freshman, wouldn’t it mess with his eligibility if they were to throw him in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a "post-Covid" so he's under the five academic years to play four seasons rule.

My take on it is Johnson is a practice puck eater for 4 to 5 seasons while getting in a game at some point to get his Midco moment ala Tate Maris. Didn't have super great numbers in the NAHL, but did his due diligence coming to a lot of the summer skating sessions with former/current players that Bubbs brought him in as a walk on team guy. With the goaltending that the team has gotten this season if he was capable he would have been in the net by now. Sounds like a great teammate, always willing to take more pucks from guys working on things in non practice settings, and loves his cheese. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they can beat Western with Hellsten in net. Hope he proves me wrong. I agree with you completely. I understand why Berry may have lost confidence in DeRidder after Friday's game, but Hellsten wasn't any better on Saturday. If UND is going to make a run, it has to go back to DeRidder. I have no confidence with Hellsten in net against Western Michigan. DeRidder was a big reason why they got 5 of 6 points in Western. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
