I don't know what it is but when I see statistics like these that end up being mentioned by journalists time and time again, it drives me up a damn wall. No, I'm not calling you a journalist, but other than bragging rights I have a hard time tapping into their true significance. Great, streaks get run up, and if it helps the stat, seldom do we see the mention of it outside of Jayson's Gems at the games. When we lose and it's something that "significant," it only cuts deeper and that's the last thing fans, much less the team, need(s). Not to beat a dead horse, but we need a turnaround tonight. Every aspect of the game. More focus, less cockiness, better overall effort. One of the most difficult games I've ever been to. On the bright side, that Boeser one-timer got me real fired up. Happy to see him back; great to see his sacrifice panning out like it has.

Embracing a new tradition, no matter long NoDak's been on his radar and he being on ours. Good for him. Along with many I'll always see us as the Sioux first and the ripple effect may have little influence on Sioux lifers but I'm happy to see future athletes take a step forward in regards to the nickname.

Duluth to #4 in PWR. Great team, good weekend for them with high compete but props to CC. Very very cool.

If you're attempting to troll, you, my friend, are doing a darn good job.

Don't know about you guys, but I personally have had more fun watching Shane's development these last couple years than I did watching Rocco trying to be flashy and highlight-reel his in the latter part of his UND career. That doesn't take away from RG's talent at all- he's an awesome hockey player but Gers playing a clean, quality game and producing as much as he has this year and the end of last season is a real treat.

But but but but what about Kaaaaaaaarrrlllll

Also still listed on the Schlossblog.

Also, big congrats to Zane. http://theahl.com/december-monthly-award-winners-announced

Sad to see him go. Stand up guy that played some quality hockey.

As a current student, I can say the same for them today. Puck bunny personalities here are nothing special.

Gonna agree with your comments about Spencer Foo. He deserves a lot more credit.

Don't wanna be too serious, but honestly every game means everything during the second half. Can't get caught slippin' now. especially by a team lesser in the pairwise.

Thanks for the catch! Under the impression it was Lowell.

If UAH were to somehow pull off that win that'd be a good nudge for us.

We're gonna need a W tomorrow. Tie wouldn't be the worst result but with this being the last non-conference game for us this year, as far as pairwise is concerned we really need that boost.

Based on first period play, there was a chance. Defense ended up being terrible all game.

If they beef up on D, Slovakia actually has a chance.

FYP - UND stats was going to Men's overall.

And you, yourself, seem to be utterly convinced that a major conference realignment is in the works, when there's no apparent reason (based on all the facts presented within this thread) to realistically believe one is actually coming. Again, NCHC member institutions were delivered the expectation to stay committed to the conference, and moreover their own respective hockey programs, when granted membership initially. Jumping ship this quick would be a slap in the face to the conference, especially with so many positives that have come of the NCHC since its inception. Success is measured by more than what's reflected in the win and loss column, and I'd say all of our teams have found a great benefit in being a part of the NCHC. Some schools might have greater costs, sure, but it doesn't seem to be enough to say adios. Hellraisers, I tell ya.

Exactly my point - SiouxVolley is on a roll with the speculation.

Why do we have any reason to believe WMU and Miami want out right now?

Aliexpress has been a hotbed for UND students that still want to get their hands on Sioux jerseys for cheap. All sorts of discrepancies with patches and you know it's a fake when you see it, especially in the white and black SIOUX lettering. Up until this year they were easy to find but now you actually have to dig for them on the website.

Couldn't agree more here. It's been a while since I've visited this thread so I'm not sure what has and hasn't been mentioned as of recent, but when we look at conference numbers, the NCHC has the second smallest membership among all conferences in NCAA Div1 Men's hockey, in front of only the B1G. We're only in year 4 and look how well we're doing recruiting-wise, financially and moreover the conference's impact on the college hockey landscape in general! It's astonishing, and I can only imagine a greater influence what more will come of the future. Growth at some point is inevitable, but Fenton has kept a strong spine about building and maintaining a solid hockey conference.

Could be a tough pull to Nodak seeing that his dad and cousin both played at the U of M. Personally I'd love to see him here; Stillwater is my alma mater and I know besides Hayden Shaw we haven't pulled a lot of guys up from the northeast suburbs of the cities in the last few years. Before Shawsy it was the Connelly brothers out of White Bear and that was 15 years ago.
