Interesting that Noah West is your starter. Also interesting that the nominal third line has McGroarty and Brindley on it.
October 7th, 2023 at 6:22 PM ^
If he is the starter. Being listed on top doesn't necessarily mean he is.
[Edit] CHN live box lists West as starter. And umichhockey confirms.
October 7th, 2023 at 7:01 PM ^
I don’t think it’s that interesting. I assumed going in that they’re going to split time to start the year and hope one of them takes the job by the time conference play starts. Noah West has put his time in with the program and was solid as a starter his freshman year at Robert Morris. His profile is similar to Barczewski’s except that Barczewski stuck around the AHA while West transferred to be Michigan’s backup.
Barczewski is probably a bit better but I don’t think he’s so much better that he’s THE guy from Day 1 and gets the start every game like we saw with Mann and then Portillo.

Other game: ND has scored early in 2nd, 1-1.
October 7th, 2023 at 7:02 PM ^
They should really move this game to the day or something. I can't imagine what the attendance is going to be during a road football game, and it's unfortunate for the opener.
October 7th, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
You're understimating the traveling Friar contingent.
October 7th, 2023 at 7:02 PM ^

Huh, first three calls against our opponent? When was the last time that happened.

October 7th, 2023 at 7:20 PM ^

October 7th, 2023 at 9:05 PM ^
D'OH! Casey for Tripping @ 15:56.
October 7th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Seems like too many penalties and turnovers leading to odd man rushes. So kinda the same story but without four top five picks to bail us out.
October 7th, 2023 at 9:19 PM ^
Yeah, Warren had his 2nd Cross Checking penalty early in the 3rd @ 4:12, but they didn't score. They had a Faceoff Violation @ 6:42, but we failed to score on the PP. Casey got his 2nd Tripping penaly of the game late in the 3rd.

McGroarty assisted on Eernisse's goal. Casey & Schifsky on Brindley's.
October 7th, 2023 at 10:34 PM ^
Was at the game. It was a frustrating one to watch. We were sloppy with the puck and struggled with the Friar forecheck. Their goalie made a number of unlikely saves, and he also knocked the net off during about 6 different high danger chances. Hopefully Naurato calls attention to that for tomorrow.
October 8th, 2023 at 2:17 PM ^
Was it Portillo in disguise?
