Telling people not to swear at a hockey game is like telling Prpich or Greene to play nice with the other team. Its simply absurd.
I will remember that when I am trying to explain to my five year old what the swearing is all about.
Thank you for you folks taking the initiative to wake up the REA. You guys are doing the right thing. I hope the fans can come through for you where the REA rocks without MOST of the swearing.

I like those lines
I really like the line of Bochenski, Lundbohm, Porter.
I am with you - lines look great. Bo and Lundbohm have the potential to be huge much like Murray and Parise. Watch out for the third line as well as that line has some speed with Fyling. Love to see Fabian get his first goal.

Interesting to see that it looks like the Sioux are going to change some line combos again this weekend. It would seem to me that at this time of year it would be nice to have some stability and consistency within the lines but who am I to judge. I think having Bo and Lundbohm together has the potential to be as dynamic as Parise and Murray. With that being said, Bo will probably be back with Parise and Murray after the first shift on Friday night. Should be a good weekend for the Sioux to get back on track!!!

Lets cut James Massen a little slack, he is a decent player...
Agreed he is playing on one of the most deep teams in college hockey with a lot of talented players.
-
How many UND games have you been to this year then?
Most of the home games as we have season tickets.
-
Apparently SFSioux doesn't know what he is talking about, he is probably one of these rookie band wagon Sioux fans or a student at Lewis and Clark Middle school in Grand Forks.
Ok, So I will make it simple for you, first off, James Massen had two (2) pretty strong seasons at UND, last season he had 35 points, this season however has been a struggle for Massen, James suffered a Groin Injury and has had trouble getting going, sure its tough to crack the line up with so many good players. If you have ever suffered a Groin Injury you would know that you really never heal from this injury until you give it some rest...
For your information, I grew up in Grand Forks playing hockey, played college hockey, coached hockey and have continued to be a Sioux supporter even though I no longer live in GF. I have read this board for several years but never got into posting messages. I now see why I have never posted - anything said contrary to what you believe is open season for ridicule. I thought this was supposed to be for Sioux fans to express their views in a fun fashion. This will be my last post - thanks for a very pleasent time.

Out of respect for other members of this board, this will be the last post I contribute to this thread:
Simply citing articles that may contain quotes and then attributing them to the coach does not further your point.
You ask who should Massen replace? Well, it appears to be a ridiculous question considering he played both games last weekend, and when weighing the importance of the series, apparently DB felt he deserved to be on the ice, but evidently he forgot to consult you.
As for his skating, when he broke away from everyone as a freshmen in the Ucch box score and scored his goal, DB said after the game that there are only about 10 skaters in all of college hockey who could score the goal that he scored. High praise for such a poor skater - from the coach nonetheless. I have a copy of the tape if you care to see the goal.
That being said, I will agree to disagree. JM is clearly not UND's strongest skater, but he clearly is not their weakest. With his combination of size and skill, if he can get on track, he should be a very nice contributor.
Hey buddy kMA - bottom line is that he does not skate as well as others on the team. You need to get a life. Have you ever laced up the skates in your shallow life.
-
Such as?
Articles written in the Herald have indicated this. Watching him in relation to other skaters on the team has indicated this. The scouting reports of the days back when he was in the juniors indicated this, and the lack of playing time also indicates this. You tell me who Massen should replace - right now the fact of the matter would suggest that he does not have the same skating ability as those ahead of him on the depth chart.
-
I think he skates well - he certainly did at Mariucci as Freshmen when he blew by everyone on the ice and went topshelf scoring a goal with a backhand shot. And he skated well last year as evidenced by his play against St. Cloud at REA when he zipped up the right side and blew a slapshot over Moreland's glove for the GWG.
If he is having some skating issues, that may go back to his injury earlier this year.
Disagree - when you compare him to a Stafford, Porter, Fylling etc.. he does not skate near as well and therefore has not had the opportunity to play as much. If you go back to comments Blais has said about Massen it is pretty much verbatim as to what I am saying.
-
He certainly has the capabilities to be a very good player as shown by the first-half of last year. He is big and strong, and when on his game, good with the puck and around the net. Perhaps his groin injury earlier this season set him back more than any of us realize and has made him a bit tentative? But, when he is playing well, he is fun to watch.
Here's hoping he is saving his best for the last eight weeks of this season.
Great Hands and a great shot but it just does not seem that he has the skating skills of other players on the team. With the talent this team has this year, that has really hurt his chance to play. It just seems he has a tough time keeping up with the pace of the game at times.
-
A bit sensitive don't ya think? You can honestly say a trip to Grand Forks is like going to Boston or Denver or St. Louis or Detroit or St. Paul? It's an event. When there's no hockey, people want to do something besides playing blackjack in the hotel bar.
Last time I checked GF had the nicest hockey arena in the country. Contrary to your shallow beliefs, GF has alot of attraction - folks like can watch the game from the sports bar in the Mall of America.
-
I am a dire hard Viking fan and Sioux fan - hopefully there is not a pattern here. Someone please tell me that the Sioux are in a "funk" and they will get their act together as we near the games that really count...

Feel that on your neck?? That's BULLDOG BREATH!!
My 2nd post - go to the bulldog board. Bulldogs no doubt have a great program but it pales in comparison to ND.
-
Go Wisco!!
Sorry to make this my very first post but why don't you go to the bulldogs forum. I am sure they don't have one - muck like their hockey team!
