Missed one with Wiebe. But, not too shabby 😉

It's going to be interesting to see how Jax manages a much different roster.

Are you talking about this?

That is only conference games

Also from the website:

Thank you all. I want to clarify that the schedule I was referring to is the one with the hotlinks for the video feeds. I still have not heard back from NCHC.tv, and the hotlinks have now disappeared from the schedule entirely. I assume the schedule is still under construction. The attached picture shows the schedule I am referring to.

It's one thing to construct an excellent roster like he did this summer, it's another to have every player buy-in & play like champions. Time will tell if he can pull a Ferschweiler. Can't imagine it being anywhere near as dysfunctional as it was last year -- the talent is deeper & a few guys have taken their uninspiring play elsewhere -- so there's optimism.

I do remember. Poor defensive play and structure. You can’t score goals, spending half of the game in your own end. Off your meds?

I’ve yet to see a game where the team scoring the most goals lost. But I’ve seen many games where the team with the most “structure” didn’t win.

This is a big test for UND and a test they can't fail right out the shoot.

Hopefully we out-structure them. 😉

Someone help me out here is many of you have more expertise than me.  But is western going to be that good again I would bet money in mich state and Penn state being 1 and 2.  And I think UND is top 10.  Thoughts

I think putting WMU at number one was more of a ceremonial placement to honor them for what they did last year. I do expect WMU to be 1 or 2 in conference this season. Pre season polls are all based on subjective talent and doesn’t tie in the element of how well the team works together. We will see how they do. Hopefully good

On one hand, we have a new coach and lost a potential Hobey candidate in the portal. On the other, our incoming class is deep and well-rounded. Behind tOSU and UMass seems questionable.

Maine and UConn have to prove they weren't flukes. Michigan isn't top 10. I hope we sweep the Gophers and they end up top 10.

Ivankovic isn’t a sure thing either from what I’ve heard. He’s played well in the big international events but in the regular season he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire
