Esoteric Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 2 minutes ago, Esoteric said: I agree. The good news is that this coaching staff has a track record of turning out quality defensemen. Starting with Brad Berry’s Defensive skills that paid dividends in playing at Division 1 and NHL. Add in Dane Jackson’s experience playing at Division 1 and NHL as a quality forward helps defensemen develop communication and execution in transition between forwards and defensemen. The same can be said about the outstanding skill and experience of goalie Karl Goehring helping the defensemen and goalies work constructively together. Then the brilliant move by Brad Berry and the rest of the coaching staff to invite a highly experienced professional and former Sioux player to join the coaching staff. This should be a bonus to helping develop the defense. Oops forgot to mention the exciting new coach is Defenseman Dillon Simpson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the Western Michigan player who did the Twitter/X takeover at media day yesterday? He was asked about the preseason poll and he said he was “kinda pissed off about it.” UNO and Western Michigan just seem to need some validation for whatever reason.

And according to my research they won't have any other Scandinavians in the net this season either. I've got UND slotted in for a top three finish, but then again I did last year as well, and that wasn't the best prediction I've ever made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were pre-ranked nationally in the top 5. Duluth was pre-ranked really high too so people missed on them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically Cornell didn’t back out, it was just rescheduled for next season. But otherwise yes, you are correct. It was just an agreement for 2 games last year but so far no additional games against Lindenwood are announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t stand UNO fans because all they do is complain about UND’s team, UND fans, and the fact that they get to live in Nebraska instead of Grand Forks. They also have blocked me on Twitter despite me not following anyone connected to UNO 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
