If you would have told me we'd be 3-2 going into the Cornell series when this schedule first came out with Providence, Mankato, and BU to start, I think I'd be happy with that. Not perfectly happy, but certainly not mad about it. I thought that .500 after ten (or eleven) games would be OK. Not great but acceptable. Quote

A 3-2 start against three ranked teams, one being No. 3 in the country, I'm not upset about it. I agree. I’ll take a 3-2 start against some of the best college hockey has to offer over say, CC’s 4-0 start. So far, home against NMU and two on the road at Anchorage. No disrespect to those programs and credit CC-you play who’s on your schedule but given their non-conference opponents this year, they better hope to win most if not all their games against some very low ranked teams or it could hurt them down the stretch if they find themselves on the bubble. UND’s schedule is as we know just absolutely brutal but hopefully it is preparing them well and setting them up for success as they enter difficult league play. 2 Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 One thing I've learned from previous seasons is the teams that play the hard schedules in the beginning of the year grow at a much quicker rate than those that don't. And it shows itself in spades come NCAA tourney time. I'm not as concerned about UND's record through the first 10 games(to a point obviously, I'd panic if we were 2-8) as I am about seeing the team develop and find an identity. 1 Quote
