2018-19 NMU Hockey Season

Re: 2018-19 NMU Hockey Season

It'll be interesting to see how this team responds to having expectations placed upon them. In years past that hasn't been a good thing. Can't wait to see how our volatile fanbase reacts as well :o

Wonder if we'll get a "boot_grant_potulny" soon.

Until then, we have a guy who is never sure of the news he posts. FUN!

I think the guys probably expected to have some attention on them after last seasons success. I don't think they pay much attention to polls, especially in the preseason. It will be interesting to see how teams play against NMU this season now teams got a taste of the way NMU plays now. I look forward to seeing this team and Grants recruits out on the ice.

Well, season's over :p

Not the weekend we wanted, but if SCSU is truly an elite team, this weekend was probably a learning experience that will pay dividends in March. We'll just need to move on to the Beavers this weekend. I think we'll see what kind of resiliency this team has when we see how they come out of the gate on Friday. Bemidji should be a winnable series before another two weeks of top tier competition. I'd be curious to see where NMU ranks in Strength of Schedule come Deer Season. Bemidji will probably be the only unranked team with SCSU and Cornell being Top 10. That's just a brutal start to the schedule...

Come on these early rankings mean about squat. The KRACH and Pairwise mean even less.

Regardless of how elite SCSU "may be" I was a little disappointed on how slanted the games were. Long season, see how things evolve.

In the 15-16 season, MSU-M went up to St. Cloud and got shut out twice. We still went on the get a share of the MacNaughton and to reach the conference championship game that season. St. Cloud is a top-notch program and that's a tough place to play. You guys will be fine.
