Really interested to see how St Thomas finishes in the CCHA and overall national rankings. They're not super skilled but skate their a** off and work extremely hard all night.

The coaches in the CCHA think they’ll win it. very aggressive forecheck. Hurt them early. They move the puck very well. Maybe a blossoming new rivalry in the making?

There is something that went on with Berry and Jax. I am not trying to restart any speculation but it is odd how Berry is not really brought up in any conversations but Hak is all the time. I think Karl may have sided with the person who isn’t the coach now. 

😥

The depth should tilt the ice for the bottom lines in UNDs favor for the vast majority of the games. Defensively I don’t think there is a team in the nation that Id trade defense corps with at this point. Keep in mind we have a first rounder currently sitting out. Was hoping to see more from the top 6, but that will come. I was impressed with the coach interviews. Seems like this is a very demanding detailed group at the helm.

This really nails it for me...forward depth giving a definite advantage on Sioux 4th line; didn't see them scoring 3 goals but we'll take it.  Once that top 6 starts to move and groove a little more, UND could be looking at a nice season.  I know; don't get too excited...it's just one game!:D

The good:

6. Liked that Laurila wasn't noticeable, no terrible mistakes I remember.

 

The meh/bad:

3. Power play needs some adjustments

You think Laurila should replace Jubenvil as the 7th D when Emery comes back? 

PP was good at 2/4, what kind of adjustments?

Didn't watch the game, so looking for opinions from those who did.

Well well well....Karl Goehring and Brad Berry were in the rink and we didn't get a #fullsixty from our guys, some things never change....😄

Congrats to those who took UND at -330 tonight.  Vegas knew....

Just need to get Reschny, Zellers, Swanson in a better overall rhythm, feel like they should be automatic on the PP.

Nice work overall. Beat the Tommies to loose pucks, crashed the boards, solid goaltending, and nice passing on the power play. Still too many stick penalties but pleased with what I saw.

The standard for slashing was tightened up this year. Anything toward the hands will get called. 
 

same with hooks and other restraint penalties in the neutral zone .

Not sure on that from what I’ve seen. First they’re all not on the same PP. Swanson has been fine at ES but Reschny and Zellers have struggled mightily so far. Obv super early. I think Reshny needs a few games. I’m assuming they’ll split Zellers and Reschny up here soon.

How good was the crowd tonight? Hopefully crowd is getting tuned up for next weekend.

Sold-out crowd was announced. Decent atmosphere. Student section was into it early. Lots left in 3rd. Probably felt they were watch a BB team from season's past.

Fully expect next weekend will be electric.

The NCHC app on Roku progressively got worse through the night ... kicked us out once in the first period, twice in the second period, and probably 7 or 8 times in the third.  May need to just airplay it as has been recommended until it is fixed.

As far as the game, I really liked the hustle and effort of the entire team.  There was definitely a lot of sloppy play and Gibson did a really good job when called upon to make some big saves.  The two he let in were a breakaway and a rebound to an open guy on a PK.  That 4th line was really fun to watch tonight, they were so hard on pucks and on the forecheck.  The sloppy play can be fixed. 

Was it just me, or did the game appear to be played at a higher speed than in recent years?
