The regular season begins for real.
7:30 pm
Minnesota at St. Thomas
6:00 pm
St. Thomas vs Minnesota
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
The LiveChat option on this forum will be revived. Come one, come all to discuss the game in real time. It's a good time for those who can or cannot attend the game. 
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Should be a good series. Expecting St. Thomas to be competitive and they split with a solid St. Cloud State team this weekend with a pair of one goal games. Get off to a good start.
Some good news

Now we wait and see for Nevers?
Underestimate the Tommies at your own peril. Nothing more dangerous than a team with something to prove. They’ve always played hungry but now they have a splash of skill to back it up.
Bob says we’ll lose Nevers for a while. Injury bug already here and we haven’t played a game yet. Will be good to have Huglen back.
Edit: for a while might not be the best term. I’m thinking couple weeks most likely.
Now we wait and see for Nevers?
Based on what I heard last night, I expect Nevers will be held out of competition for a bit. It took him a while to get up after the collision and it looked like his head might have hit the ice without a helmet. The amount of vitriol on twitter about the hit is not necessarily surprising, but also makes me sad.
I posted a reply to JD about an NHL hit being the 'clean' way to hit someone with their head down... although even I wonder if this Trouba hit should be a penalty in the NCAA as it's more than just a hit to seperate a player from the puck, it's to intimidate and impose your physical will on your opponent... he still said there is some onus on the player to keep his head up. Agree to disagree in the big picture.

It's not like Trouba was skating from a distance to catch a player who's unaware. On this play, Trouba just comes to a full stop and closes off the lane to the center of the ice. I think it's a pretty clean play.
Gophers win 7-3 both nights which means Culvers again Saturday night. I was surprised St. Thomas beat St. Cloud, they are for sure better this year. The Gophers will take this season one game at a time and not overlook any team. I'm looking forward to them winning it all in St. Paul this year. They have a really great team this year and will only get better.
So tomorrow night's game is on Fox9's main channel, I know Fox9 has a live stream for their broadcasts, but do we know if that'll be blacked out or anything?
If I can stream those Fox9 games on their website this season just got way more enjoyable than last year's Bally induced headache.

I am very leery of this for us out of the metro fans. I have Roku, and it has Fox9 on it. The Fox9 that I get only has the local Fox9 news and their locally produced shows on it. I can not stream the Fox Tv shows or any sports events that were being shown on Fox9. I live in Mn, but in the Sioux Falls TV market so I'm assuming I get those blacked out because of that fact. If you are in the Fox9 viewing area you may have a shot. BTW, my Roku channel guide has the hockey pregame show on at 7pm, but then news at 7:30.... I hope my hunch is wrong on this.

If I look at their guide on fox9.com I do see College hockey listed. Now if that's a good indicator of if the game is going to be available for streaming on their website is up in the air, but it's at least something I can hope for, lol.

With how much of a blood bath the Big Ten will be this year, non conference games are THAT much more important. This is a big series for pairwise implications.
Finally, some pairwise talk. I thought it would never get started.
@chill-kessel Some people say not to look at until December/January but frankly what's the use in not panicking over early pairwise rankings?
So, don't want to panic about PWR, and it really isn't worth looking at before the holiday break, but, non-con games have a huge impact.
Exactly. You don't need to "worry" per se about the actual rating, but it's foolish not to recognize that NC games don't play a part and are a significant reason why the BT rated so high last year - because collectively the conference dominated NC.
My guide shows College Hockey on ch9 Friday night but oddly doesn't say who's playing.So tomorrow night's game is on Fox9's main channel, I know Fox9 has a live stream for their broadcasts, but do we know if that'll be blacked out or anything?

Either way, the Chat will be going tomorrow, as usual. 😉
Let's start this season on a high note!

So are we wearing the maroons tonight? Has anyone heard why they wore maroon last Sunday?
Happy official first game day!

Not sure if this works outside of metro, but in the metro. If you have Roku or cable and no 9+ just slap on an antenna from the store if you need one. Then switch from Roku or cable to antenna and scan the channels you will then have 9 and 9+
Has anyone heard why they wore maroon last Sunday?
Probably just to show off new threads just cause they're probably not gonna wear them at Mariucci again. That or don't wanna dirty the whites and make mom mad before the first real home game of the season. lol
Can’t wait to see the double header tonight! Fun day!!!

officially game day ? ?
IALTO

Sometimes you go with the most probable answer.
81 gets the first goal of the season.
tv guide is showing a pre game show at 7 on ch9. When's the last time there was a Gopher pre game show?
#22
As of now I have found a feed, but an 830 a.m. game time is not ideal given the S.O. wants us out of the house by 11 a.m. which means NO sleep. Someone needs to talk to her.
Has anyone heard why they wore maroon last Sunday?
I noticed in their jersey release photoshoot they only had numbers on the maroons so far. Not sure if they wore the maroons because those are the ones they had all set up, or if they made sure to set them up so they could wear them first...
Hoping I didn't mess this up, why do the tickets I just downloaded from ticketscrewmaster indicate a 4pm game?

Your ticket is good for BOTH the women's and men's game. That first game is at 4pm.
Do not like how this board is run?

I'll take a hard shot from the point from Luke Mittlestadt on a powerplay in the first period as the first goal of the year.

Nelson gets the first goal.
Phew...nowhere on the ticket or on the site does it indicate that. Thanks for letting me know.
It says pretty prominently:
Important Event Info: Ticket valid for both games. NO RE-ENTRY. NO In/Out
I’ll go with Rinzel on the PP.
Lamb from Kurth.
Mittlestadt
