Thoughts on the new design of the front of the DU jerseys? @MafiaMan

Ugly jerseys are perfect for this bunch of goons.

Never liked the bent, stretched, and warped Denver wordmark jersey (last season's I believe) but the following is a good summary of the new one.

How do you manage to make a jersey that looks like a chinese knockoff of your own jersey?

Next thing you know they'll return to the "ketchup and mustard" jerseys of the 1980s and 1990s.

Or the ones from the late 90’s with the jelly donut logo on the shoulders!

He could be. I remember how Gopher fans used to rag on UND fans for our team being a bunch of 25-year-old Canadians. Years back, I remember Goldie holding a sign at UND vs. UMN game that said, Manitoba's Pride on Ice. Now it's different for them.

Preseason Media polls for Hockey East were announced:

1. BU (11) 156
2. BC (2) 135
Merrimack (2) 135
4. Connecticut 102
5. Providence 92
6. Northeastern 86
7. Massachusetts-Lowell 83
8. Massachusetts 79
9. Maine 74
10. New Hampshire 26
11. Vermont 22

Preseason All-Hockey East Team
F Cutter Gauthier (So., BC)
F Justin Hryckowian (Jr., NU)
F Alex Jefferies (Sr., MC)
D Lane Hutson (So., BU)
D Scott Morrow (Jr., UMass)
G Victor Ostman (Sr., Maine)

Even though he hasn't played a minute of NCAA hockey yet, I would guess that Celebrini will be on that All-Hockey East Team by the end of the season.

Ty Smilanic not returning to Wisconsin. Curious if he was welcome under Hastings.

When Hastings went to Mankato he forced a few players off the team “telling them they were not his types of players”.  One ended up finishing his career at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.

Weird to see Mankato so low in the CCHA pre-season poll:

 

[farce poobah]

Tough day at Bowling Green SU, when Lucia as CCHA Commissioner sends out a statement about (alleged) hazing.

Also the statement from BGSU:

Thanks Coach Hastings!

[farce poobah]

I would bet money on MSU Mankato finishing better than 6th.  they return 3 goalies plus 5 defenders.  Just need some scoring, or to win a bunch of 2-1 games.

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

The school is still reeling from this, there's a good chance they are overreacting while the ink dries on the check they wrote.

BGSU was starting to get it together as a program.
This is a setback.

How are they overreacting?  Not sure what you mean there...

Can't imagine the coach had anything to do with the hazing.

True, but he's in charge and has to know what's going on with his team.

No, they still do that, but somehow it is different if they have older players.

Had DeBus played a 4th season at Minnesota he would have been 26 pretty early in the season.
