Brad SchlossmanHOST
Tyler Kriptzoff came back up to Anchorage and stops 15 of 16 in that game to get a win.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Johnny Hicks won the other game as that's all he's done in his college career.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Shocking.
Jayson HajduHOST
15 straight wins now for the Pioneers, unbeaten in their last 19.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Tyler Krycskov came back up to Anchorage and stops 15 of 16 in that game to get a win.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Johnny Hicks, um, won the other game, as that's all he's done in his college career.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
[laughs]
Jayson HajduHOST
Shocking.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
6-2 and 4-1 wins for the Pioneers, but both games were a little closer than the final score might indicate.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
But, uh, out of part of that, Johnny Hicks continues to improve his college career record, still undefeated in the net.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
Uh, and both games, uh, started out, uh, close and tied before it was opened up late by Denver.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
And that seems to be the hallmark of Denver, at least it was going through the playoffs last year, to be able to play its best hockey in the third period.
Cam DyerHOST
And then, you know, that weekend where we played them and, you know, looked really good on their ice.
Cam DyerHOST
And then Johnny Hicks goes in and doesn't lose and breaks the... goals against average and almost breaks the save percentage record.
Cam DyerHOST
And they win the national championship.
Cam DyerHOST
This happens all the time in hockey.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
Denver ended the season on a 17 game unbeaten streak at 16-0-1.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
Denver goaltender Johnny Hicks' career record is 16-0-1.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
In fact, David Karl was asked in the media day for the NCHC if he expected, uh, Johnny Hicks to ever lose a game, and he said, "Well, eventually it's gonna happen." Uh, but North Dakota won the regular season and made it to the Frozen Four.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
Minnesota Duluth, they were a little bit of a surprise last year maybe, but they get Hobey Baker winner Max Plant back, plus, uh, his two kid brothers are going to be with him.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
Zam Plant returns, and then St. Thomas joins the league as the 10th member.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
So you get to, to January, and you're like, "Mm, maybe this isn't their year," and all of a sudden they're, they're hugely competitive at the end of the season.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
That may weigh in on that as well.
Ed TrefzgerHOST
I guess m- my interesting, my, my most interesting thing to see from Denver is how Johnny Hicks is going to be this season.
Cam RobinsonHOST
Ryan Lynn
Chris PetersHOST
... adding more experience, adding other players, and, and still bringing back so many from last year, including Johnny Hicks, who was their goaltender, um, in the national championship game and really just felt like he came out of nowhere to become one of the best goalies in college hockey over the most important stretch of the season.
Chris PetersHOST
Over at Michigan, you're adding Cameron Reid to the mix.
Chris PetersHOST
You're adding Landon DuPont, but then you're also bringing back Michael Hage, which was not a guarantee that anybody thought he would be back for his junior season.
Matt WellensHOST
First off, I don't know if I'm ready to call North Dakota and Denver goaltenders proven.
Matt WellensHOST
Johnny Hicks did go on a, a heater at the end of the year last year, but we haven't seen him for a full season.
Matt WellensHOST
And Yan Spooner, not great in the postseason I, I thought for, for North Dakota.
Matt WellensHOST
He struggled a little bit.
Zach SchneiderHOST
It would mean they're a number one seed in that NCAA tournament, uh, most likely.
Zach SchneiderHOST
So all, all good things if you win, uh, but not the end of the world if you don't, uh, by any means.
Bruce CiskieHOST
Yeah, and on the goaltending side of it, I mean, I- I picked Johnny Hicks on my preseason All-League ballot.
Bruce CiskieHOST
I, I think that having a .957 save percentage over, what was it, 16 starts, whatever, I think that's good enough to, to make me think you've got a goaltender there, but I get what you're saying.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Like we, you know, who would, I don't think anybody would have guessed that Jan Spooner would be the goaltender of the year in the NCHC last year.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
And so I really think it's, no one would have guessed Johnny Hicks would have been the frozen for MVP.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Imagine telling you that in January, um, sometimes I, I It's like I'm almost just going to stop guessing about goalies because I just don't know.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
But I do think Caleb Heil's ready to play.
Ryan KennedyHOST
And these are high end defensive prospects, but they haven't played college yet.
Ryan KennedyHOST
So what does that look like? Also you got Johnny Hickson net who had literally the best season.
Ryan KennedyHOST
I mean, technically it was a half season, but, uh, He didn't lose.
Ryan KennedyHOST
He still has not lost in college hockey.
Jayson HajduHOST
Sam Harris is back.
Jayson HajduHOST
What does Johnny Hicks do for an encore? They bring in some really high-profile freshmen, especially on the back end.
Jayson HajduHOST
Looks like another loaded Pioneers team this year.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
Yeah, they're really loaded up front.
Jayson HajduHOST
Yeah,
Brad SchlossmanHOST
they're bringing in Quentin Miller from Denver.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
After Johnny Hicks took the job there, Quentin Miller goes in the portal, goes to Western, so they don't have Hampton Slakinski.
Brad SchlossmanHOST
I think Quentin Miller's a very good replacement there.
