I mean, at some point a random icing attempt by the other team will hit the net, so he'll get a few saves a game, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was starting to think a while ago that he will play more than some people might expect. Namely because I don’t think we are going to play 2 freshmen on the bottom pairing if we don’t have to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can guarantee with how many big games we have to start the season that Britt will be in every night for at least a month. We have potential to get buried in the pairwise if we flop early so having a guy with experience will be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britt sounds like just the kind of defensive defenseman this team might lean on, especially early. I believe Britt led his conference in blocked shots last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when you look at the impact and steadiness that guys like Ferner and Sidorski have provided the last 2 seasons, the writing is on the wall for Britt to make a huge difference out of the gate.

The Sicatoka Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Who are the top five centers. Will Bubs adopt a 9-3 mindset and not the traditional top6/bottom6. Do you put former USHLers together (OMac-James; Perron-Emerson) looking for past magic. Will there be a go-to face off guy. Who runs the point on the power play. All these new faces; so many open questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, not a lot will need true development in terms of how to play the college game. All of the transfers have played a significant amount of college hockey and that was a major reason why they are at UND. The freshmen will of course need to develop. Gelling is the biggest thing. If this group gels quick, we're gonna have a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these new faces; so many open questions. Berg, Schmaltz, Jamernik and OMac have all played center, but with the 9-3 mindset you mentioned do you put either Schmaltz or OMac at a different position to have them at a spot higher in the lineup? The way it sounds, I wouldn't be surprised to see Albrecht and possibly a few other players split time early, so maybe Emerson could be splitting time early. If Albrecht is looking good early like Schlossman said, I would guess he might see some more time in the big games where a veteran presence could help. So with the competition level both at defense and forward, what position do you use to fill the extra spot in the lineup each night? If Berg is centering Blake and Gaber, is line 2 either Schmaltz or OMac, centering Perron and James? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 An interesting data point would be "total career NCAA games" of the defense corps going into last season versus this season. Last years team would have a broader distribution (over eight guys) but the total (yes, over just four transfers) would be interesting.

brianvf Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-to-simulate-game-situations-in-hour-long-scrimmage-open-to-public Quote "Back when I played and even when I first came back (as an assistant coach in 2000), we had a Green-White game," UND coach Brad Berry said. "It's a first look for the fans before the puck drops on the season. We've always had a Fan Fest, but we're going to incorporate a game-like atmosphere because we can get in an extra rep before we drop the puck for real." UND is planning to play a five-on-five scrimmage. One team will have three lines, the other will have two. It will then go down to four-on-four and three-on-three. UND will practice special teams situations — alternating power plays between the teams and even a six-on-five situation. The session will end with a three-man shootout. Quote Former UND defenseman Mike LaMoine, a member of the 1987 NCAA national championship team, will be the new color analyst on the radio for home games this season. He will join play-by-play commentator Tim Hennessy in the booth in Ralph Engelstad Arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I seem to recall in the most recent podcast with Schloss that the league is reducing the # of tv timeouts per period, anyone know more details about this? I think this is excellent news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
