The magic "two or more goals" point: Make it: 18-8-4 Miss it: 0-5-1 Of the "make it" sub-group: If seniors get two or more: 10-1-0 If seniors get less than two: 8-7-4 It still is pointing at when the seniors show up.

Weren't there other signals, like not being on the U-20 WJC team?

This season, when UND gets two or more goals in a game from seniors they are 10-1-0. (The loss was 3-2 to CC at REA with McMahon getting both goals for UND.) If the seniors don't chip in two or more they are 8-12-5. Final ride boys. How do you want to go out?

My guess would be that you don't boot a guy at this time of year unless (a) he's earned it, and (b) it'll be better for the team in the long run.

I felt this one deserved a thread of its own. Congrats Brian! http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/sports/11069742.htm http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=85219 And congratulations to TJ Oshie and Chris VandeVelde for providing stiff competition for the award.

Yeah, just one ..... three-peat.

Some haven't all year. Why would they start now?

Hak wants a new office door? Mr. Reaney is a July '84 DOB. He'd be 21 at the start of the season and as such wouldn't he be limited to just three eligible NCAA seasons? EDIT: Guess not.

The numbers on hockey: Men: http://www.uscho.com/news/2005/02/28_010122.php Women: http://www.uscho.com/news/2005/03/01_010126.php The UND women are "N/A" because the program hasn't been around long enough to have a graduating class.

Using Chris Heisenberg's site as a reference, I've added notes to where recruits have committed to (if they have).

There's still only one puck. Who didn't UND land because they didn't want to be in Parise's shadow? Who won't Minnesota land because they don't want to be in Kessel's shadow? Hockey remains a team game.

Thankfully Mike Eaves' "Clinic on Running the 1-2-2*" is leaving Grand Forks with the Sioux having 3 of the 4 weekend points. * Also known as "Eaves' Cure for Insomnia".

As it sits right now, if UND gets just one point or UMD fails to earn just one point UND gets the home ice. Put another way: UMD's only way to achieve home ice is sweep Wisconsin and have St. Cloud sweep the Sioux. Here's another thought for UMD fans: UW wants to hold onto third place (as in no play-in game at the Final Five) in the league standings. They need two points to guarantee that.

redwing77, don't fret it. Someone just doesn't seem to like "sudo"-reporters for US College Hockey Online.

Don't you hate it when old guys wander off?

I perceive that "Gopher" means "dirty, rotten, cheap @##%&@#%!" Is that what Gopher means? (<--- That's rhetorical. ) People will always have their perceptions. Fact and reality matter.

Central in the final. GFRR up 4-0 with one period to play for the other birth in the final. The more things change ....

Read the whole post linked to. An expert in native languages says it doesn't mean that.

Are you sure that's what it means? A fairly reputable source would disagree. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...indpost&p=44780

You're about 20 hours premature. (ND HS hockey semis are in The Ralph tonight.) If you were The Sioux you'd take another stupid penalty and be down 5x3 for good chunk of that.

Assuming they have the skill, here's some light reading for "duckies and bunnies". http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mhocke...RELEASE_ID=3360 http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mhocke...RELEASE_ID=3367 And here's what all that means: http://www.national-letter.org/

Doofi? It must be the plural of "doofus". I like it!

Don't the Gophers have some, how shall we say, "track record" or "history" in that area?
