Guesses for the final standings of the B1G?

I'll start:

1. Minnesota
2. Wisconsin
3. Michigan
4. Penn St
5. Michigan St
6. Ohio St


Maybe flip flop Wisconsin and Michigan since Wisconsin won't have Nyberg till second semester.

How good is Pitlick? Are we looking at an impact player as soon as this year?

Well, he dominated at the USHL level.

But, as we've seen with the likes of Cammarata, that's not always a guarantee of NCAA success.

But, being that Rem was content going back to juniors, I don't think he came in to be a bottom 6 player. So I think he'll have ample opportunities to prove himself.

Gotta be careful with that strategy. It can definitely backfire.

They'll just go out and get more if they leave

When your coaches are G2O yes

 

[keppel146]

Where's the B1G tourney this year? I've enjoyed it at the X when it's there.

 

[Ban Hammered]

NCHC decides not to expand at this time.

Talk about gouging fans.
North Dakota-Minnesota single-game tickets are now on sale. Price is $100-$130 for seats, $90 for SRO.

Yeah that's ****ing ridiculous.

I love Gopher hockey but there's no way I'm paying that to go to Mariucci.

So even less people will go. Ugh. For me if it's B1G or North Star Cup, I'd rather see the North Star Cup. While it's not really there either, more atmosphere, seemingly more fans and better hockey conversations.

Don't look at what the tickets were for the Vikes game Sunday night I went to......

 

[Digitalbooya]

Interesting.

Solid looking goaltender.


Awesome.

$75 to see Wisconsin take on THEE Ohio State at Madison Square Garden this winter?

[gphr513]

Ohio State picked 2nd, eh?

I highly doubt they will finish second.

 

[Woodhouse]

Among many exhibitions vs CIS teams this weekend, there are five games that count, including UMD with a pair vs MTU and Colgate opening a new arena vs Army. I'll probably tune into the respective CIS games for BU and SCSU, aka catching an early look at the alma mater and then some prospects (R.Poehling, Ahcan, Borgen, Peterson).

 

[Digitalbooya]

Kunin just scored in the second period to make it 5-0 Wisconsin over the University of Victoria in their exhibition match.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Kunin makes it 7-0. End of the second period.
