If tonight was any indication, they will be pushing the pace and involving the defense.  It seems like we have the group to play uptempo as well.  Lot of speed. Absolutely loved the line of Menghini-Strinden-Josephson, very fast.  Strathmann and Engel scored in the scrimmage.  Reschny and Klee on power play simulation. Zakreski, Menghini and Livanavage on 3x3, and Zellers was the only one of 10 that scored in shootout.

If they keep those lines moving forward a bit...that 4th line of Croal-Littler-Zakreski might be really tough for opposing teams to match up against.
(assuming line 1 is James, line 2 Kernan, line 3 Menghini, line 4 Croal from above)

Heck, that 3rd line is super tough too.  And a lot of speed on that line as well.
Looking good.

Yep!
We posted that at the same time.  :)

Coaches will have some tough decisions, as Klee, Zakreski and Andrew certainly didn’t look out of place.  Hard to believe Verhoeff just turned 17 a couple months ago.  There will definitely be some mistakes along the way, but they should be a fun team to watch.  Surprised how well and how fast they moved the puck on the power play. You can tell the skill is there, so hopefully they will really be a very formidable group by the second half of the season, and can do enough early to keep their pairwise decent.

TBH you can’t really tell anything about this team from tonight’s scrimmage. Hopefully Manitoba isn’t god awful again this year so at least on Saturday we can some what have an idea what the team will loook like.

You won’t tell a lot from Manitoba either.  St. Thomas will be a better barometer, but really, playing veteran teams will show us where we need improvement.  I am just encouraged to see us pushing the puck up the ice, and hopefully that will continue when we get into our schedule.

I'd argue you tell more from tonight's scrimmage than last year's game against Manitoba.

If all they have are those cheap replicas, I'll pass.

SiouxShop is selling authentics as well. TBH the CCM replicas are probably the best I've seen. I n bought an authentic and replica and not much difference.  The replicas are tackle twill stitched and not heat pressed and the material is heavier than the reebok and addidas.

Hopefully the goalies show up to play because that's what matters in a scrimmage 

Can confirm Homer showed up to play, Sandy and Spunar got scored on.  Homer didn't get scored on once. Highlight was a one timer across the crease that he spread out for then stopped 2 subsequent grade As.  He looks so big in net but was athletic while staying under control.  I'm really excited to see how he looks this year.  I remember when we played ASU thinking he's so dang big I don't know where you're supposed to shoot.

Those first three weekends will tell us a lot.  
St Thomas (picked to win CCHA), Minnesota (biggest rival), and at Clarkson (picked 2nd in ECAC).
Need some wins there, as that would be a huge boost to the PWR NPI at the end of the season.
