I thought last nights game was a close one that came down to goaltending and puck luck. The two goals cam let in weren't bad but very stoppable. He had clean looks both times. Their goalie made some decent saves and the pipe in the third period made me think it just wasn't our night. This team is good, just inconsistent. As evidenced by Friday's first period compared to the second period. If they can find a way to play solid for an entire game I still have hope!

Well he must not like staying in one place for very long!

So he's leaving early or after the season?

That is my thinking on him as well. He would be a fourth liner on the bottom teams in the NCAA. Sometimes it works out picking up guys that have potential and they develop into great players. Being from grand forks definitely landed him his opportunity at UND.

I agree that everyone on a team has a role. Simo is a junior, he has played 28 games, registered a single goal that was a slam dunk into an open net. As a junior I feel like he should produce more even if he's not considered a goal scorer. There are other guys on the bench that can do exactly what he does. The only guy I would consider sitting before simonson is Olson. All opinion though

That wouldn't cause fans to stop going to games! I would love to have Minnesota on the schedule every year again.

I liked both poolman and peski last night. Good things for the years to come with two freshmen like them

No kidding! The team as a whole is having a tough year, not just gage. I feel like he definitely hasn't played as well as I thought he would this year but judging him on his political views on social media is funny to me. If the team was winning would it even be brought up? Cripes stetcher was quoted after the championship last year that he was going to Joe blacks when he got home to get blackout drunk and I didn't hear much about that haha

I think Simonson should sit. He's played more than enough the past two years with little production. He has one goal this year on a night that UND scored 9 and it was a layup. Play some younger guys that have potential for development.

I care

Remember in 2011 UND beat umd 2/3 games during the regular season.

As enjoyable as Dave says this is to read comments towards him and the big ten, it is equally enjoyable for me to read as a UND fan. I'm looking forward to the Minnesota vs Duluth game coming up. That is sure to give nchc fans some message board ammunition!

This is definitely going to be a different series compared to earlier this year. Scoring is coming from more than just the top line and the younger guys on the team are starting to get acclimated to this level of hockey. Hoping for a sweep but feeling a split coming.

I'm excited to go and buy a new jersey with the new logo. 20 years down the road it will be history and all the negativity towards it will be forgotten! Go Hawks

Does anyone know the story why tambelini left UND early?

Agreed. I highly doubt they were begging him to sign. That being said, I can't blame him for going for the money

Change for more $. The strength of the nchc has never been a question or a reason to leave to another

I was wondering where siouxkid came up with that fact. It's all speculation on what the offer would/wouldn't include

Don't get me wrong I like the nchc and as a fan wouldn't want UND to go to the big ten but this is a no brainer. From a dollar stand point it would be a smart decision to join. There's more publicity=dollars. Big ten is more commercialized and with that comes more money. From a fans standpoint its not any better but for the team and university it would be a smart decision in the long run.

And gornall is waiting to see what Anderson is going to do.

Probably misread it. I agree with him though. I don't think anyone is waiting on each others decisions.

I'd prefer him to replace Jake Haha

Agreed but he did have a few good games here and there.

This couldn't be more true!lol green glasses all the way!haha

I agree, it could have been 2-2. It also could have been 3-2, 3-1. If I remember correctly poolman nailed a pipe in the first aswell. North Dakota did get the bounces but the bounces more often than not go to the better team.
