END SCENE
Too much? Meh. It's been a while, and DDC enjoys an entrance.
It's been 1,398 days since DDC's last post, a November 20, 2017 recap of then No. 1 Denver and No. 3 UND splitting a series in Magness Arena. That was a fun one, by the way. Green and White were down 3-0 on Friday and came back to win 5-4 in wild fashion. Anyway, it's been a while! Let's catch up!
What's up?
Welp, not much has happened since 2017, amirite?! Right?? *Insert overplayed, lame 2020-21 joke here*. DDC has been busy. Right before and right as the world went nutty, a house was sold, a move to the in-laws occurred, a new house was purchased, a MBA was completed, and DDC baby No. 3 came along.
And, NOTHING. ELSE. HAPPENED. DDC swears. How about you? Nothing? Good. Glad all is well 😀
New season, new DDC -- well, old DDC? Idk. We're blogging, again
DDC swore he'd get back to his droves of fans once the MBA was done. It's done, so he's here. We'll be rolling this out again, at least once a week, during the hockey season, to chat about the good and the bad of our beloved University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks. *sigh* ok... he did it. He said it. Fighting Hawks. Time heals all terrible monikers, or something like that.
The Green and White have changed, a lot, obviously, since DDC has been gone, but the game stays the same. UND comes into the 2021-22 season as the two-time defending Penrose Cup champions as NCHC regular season winners and fully expects to compete for green banner No. 9, this year. The Hawks should be a physically dominant and defensive-minded team that, if the offense clicks with a hoard of new faces (transfers and freshmen), could be a real contender. More on that in the coming weeks as we inch towards the October 2nd exhibition against Manito... er, uh, Bemidji State. Wait, what? Yeah, we'll get to that. Stay tuned!
DDC is back, ladies and gentlemen. Looking forward to hearing from all of you.
