He has one of the most memorable UND goals in my mind. I wanna say it was his sophomore season at CC. He went 200 feet and beat all five CC defenders and scored. It was a thing of beauty. 

But then, it's always a thing of beauty when they score against CC.

Thought you were going to say that backhander in the crazy comeback vs Denver last year. The stick salute game.

That's wild after losing Gaber, Blake, & Johannes

The quote saying we returned 83 goals, although true, needs a little bit of context. We scored 151 goals last year and Blake either scored or assisted on 60 of those goals, indicating he played a role in 40% of every goal we scored last year. We have a ton of depth this year, but replacing Blake’s points is going to be an uphill battle some nights because depth doesn’t always give you that go-to line or go-to guy that you can always count on when you’re trailing a goal or 2 in the 3rd period. Hopefully one of these lines pops off the page or maybe each one will be rolling a different night but there has to eventually be the one(s) you can always rely on.

I agree 100% with you when it’s UND scoring against CC! When it’s DU, not so much!

I was at that game. Crazy night! A buddy of mine who really isn’t much of a college hockey fan went with me and was just absolutely thrilled, shocked, amused, and happy to have attended that game in person! I guess DU got the last laugh at the end of the day but that was and is a very memorable game in UND lore for sure.

Do you know which one we would need to watch the game?  The cheap package has "Midco Sports", which should cover the game, but the middle package is what has CCHA TV.  I'm assuming I'd only want the middle package if I want all the CCHA games, right?

I'm hoping I can just sign up for a month of the cheap package to get both games.

I signed up for Midco and I am waiting to receive an email back.  The problem is I can not be home to watch the game live.  NCHCTV, Flo TV, etc. lets a viewer review the game later or even backup the game to the beginning.  This does not seem to be the case for Midco.  Does anyone have a working knowledge of how MIDCO accommodates or do you know of another location to receive CCHA games on a delayed basis.  I went to the CCHATV and it sent me to Midco.

Nice article from Schloss today on Mac Swanson.  Did not know he was Brian Swansons son....my feel old moment of the day.

Ha, literally just linked that in the other thread.  Great article for sure. 
Noticed that the article mentioned that he has a younger bro too that also plays hockey.  Maybe in another few years...

Thought it was cool the connection between him and Jacques Lamoureux.  I grew up with him, hockey is such a small world.

If Hobie is healthy, does he get a game in this weekend? I sure hope so. I’d like to see a 2 goalie rotation until February.

I’d like to see us rely on a non-transfer player portal goalie for the first time in a while. Scared Hobie leaves if he doesn’t get enough experience as a starter

Every interview I’ve heard from Berry so far this year Berry has pushed back on anyone who has suggested TJ is our starter. Which seems to indicate we are going to see more of a rotation. But we’ll see.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-defenseman-bennett-zmolek-returns-to-mankato

Ouch.  Zmolek might already be out with injury?  After one game?  That's no good.
His physical presence would be much needed against a big, heavy, and older MSUM team.

Quote

Last season, Zmolek had to miss the series against the Mavericks. He sustained an injury blocking a shot a week earlier against Minnesota and was unable to go against his old team. "It was pretty tough to watch from the stands," Zmolek said.

He hopes to avoid the same fate this season. Zmolek is questionable for the weekend series. He skated Thursday in Mankato — as did everyone on the roster — but his availability for the series is expected to be a game-day decision.

UND defensemen Tanner Komzak and Jayden Jubenvill were scratched for UND's 5-2 win over Providence in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game last weekend. If needed, one would likely slide in.

Reading between the lines here, I wouldn't be surprised with Hobie and TJ each getting a start this weekend.

Quote

"Going into the season, you always want to try to give guys an opportunity," Berry said. "With Hobie, what he did last year, he deserves an opportunity as well. T.J. has had a really solid start for us early in the season, but absolutely, we want to try to give Hobie a little opportunity early in the season. In saying that, T.J. is going to get an opportunity as well.

"I would expect to see both those guys in the net on a short-term basis here to start the season."

Does Midco Sports Plus have an app for Roku or am I going to be stuck connecting my computer to my HDMI? Either way, it's game day

[nodakgirl93]

So do we all wanna pitch in for a midco plus membership and get the game streamed on youtube? The only option is midco sports plus 2 at $25 a month?

Yes, there is a roku app.  Quality was fine last year for the Summit League content.  Assume CCHA product should be similar, although depends on capabilities of the schools.

I hate when they play at Mankato.  It's like a TV black hole.

Sheesh, can you offer to buy him a drink first at least?

Jammer looks at Sweethockey with a glare, pointing to his eyes, "Hey, eyes up here, buddy."

Certainly capable of sweeping them this weekend. Why not

True. It is one of my favorite road trips however.

We signed up for that pkg & went halfsies with alum friends in another community. You can cxl any month but it’s a good deal for us as we can all watch the football games too.

[Oxbow6]

Bennett out again. 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Littler is undoubtedly thinking he'd be dressing tonight had he stuck with his commitment to Mankato.
