I like it.

Really hope that Swanson takes off this year.
You know he has it in him with how he did in the USHL.

Apparently he's been a standout in practice.

Great to hear...hoping it translates to the games as well!

Regarding fish bowls vs bird cages: 

Last I remember is as others have: C. Sanderson in '16. 

Each has pros and cons. 

I don't understand the "all bird cage" rule of late and I'm glad to see player preference return.

Quote

UND defenseman Jake Livanavage, an All-American pick last season, received more votes than any player on the preseason all-NCHC team.

Livanavage was on 25 of 30 ballots.

Who are these 5 media members that left Jake off their ballot?  

And...per requests on the bubble making a comeback:

Quote

The segment of UND hockey fans who want to see one of their players wearing a bubble instead of a cage on their helmets may be in luck.

Two players are experimenting with it in practice this week — freshman forward Will Zellers and senior forward Ellis Rickwood, who wore one at Clarkson last season.

Do we care about the bubble?  Is there some sort of stigma wearing it?

Why does anyone except the players care about it?

[TwamleyShuffle]

The one advantage of the birdcage is a better likelihood an opposing player grabs it which is a major

Look at who arrived in summer of 2018. That's why there were no more bubbles.

Fish bowls are for entitled east coast elites.
