Gers Jost Boeser Janny Gardner Pogo Hoff Simo Olson Smith Bowen Gorny Gage Tuck Wolanin Shawsy Casey Johnson/Colton Cammer Hrinks Shocked at the last O line and really hoping Cam can pull one out tonight. Lets go. Business suits?

Guaranteed it's not Hak. If he hasn't played in college games, there's no way they'd pull him up. Especially with three years (two years playing) of eligibility remaining after this season. I hate to see these rumors fly with Matej knowing how highly touted he was coming into our school. Injuries set athletes back though. If he's gotta pull a Senkbeil, let him.

There's not one good excuse out there for our level of play last night. It was a good start, but the slop is the reason that we were unable to hold a consistent lead through the full 60 minutes. I've said it, you've said it, we've all said it- our defense as a WHOLE has a lot of work to do. Even Tuck slipped up last night. We have captains not honing the leadership that's expected out of them, and when the boys hold themselves to a lower level of accountability, this is the result. It's not a loss. But it's not a win either. I don't know about you guys, but when I see the word unbeaten it drives me nuts. Great, we haven't given up a loss yet in non-conference play but being referred to as unbeaten makes me cringe. We need a much better effort. If last night's tie wasn't enough to get the boys on the horse tonight, it'll be another week of much needed GRIND in the Ralph before we have Denver come in. For all we know we'll be seeing a much better team out of them than we are the U.

Good lord Cam

YOU LIKE THAT?!

We weren't expecting flashy as much as we were technical. If we focus on the latter with Tyson, we're getting exactly that. He's a great athlete. Leave the scoring up to Brock, Gersich and others..let him be a Schmaltz type to set up goals for now and let Josty form his mold before asserting domination. I have a hunch we're going to unleash hell in the second half of the season, and he'll have some influence.

We've been on th D side far too much, and SOG speaks testament to that. Offense needs to produce more. Bury pucks first means we bury carcasses later. Let's go

Don't believe so.

Beer at Judy's watching the game and typing on my iPad to keep up on here, good effort right off the bat. Great goal. Let's go Sioux

Still think Holl got away with a high stick with the U's attack coming into the zone...but it doesn't matter anymore. Wilcox was absolutely lights out that game and had an incredible season, but that doesn't take away from our squad that year. Great group of men. Hoping a good week of practice has our boys reinvigorated for one of the biggest series of their lives. Very very excited to see what happens this weekend.

...it IS a troll.

No, it's a Friday-Saturday series. Besides Vegas I don't see any reason to commit to one game with the Gophers, ever.

Goaltending is not our issue. Cam makes mistakes and lets bad ones in just like all other goaltenders, elites included. I don't mean to beat a dead horse but our defense DOES NOT look good. I really do believe we came out firing last night and carried the game for the first period. We just can't put together a full 60 minutes and this point in our schedule is where we really need to get better at it. If we don't here, we're going to go down early and as we saw time and time again with Hak, we're rebuilding in the second half because of more losses and ties in the first. Hope is not lost here. Lessons were learned from this weekend. The Dogs deserved both wins, but we'll be right back in our building tomorrow and have one hell of a week going into Mariucci and the Gophers next weekend. This is not an expectation by any means, but I'd love to see our boys show why the Don didn't deserve an extension. Let's bury them.

Supplemental to what C said, here's schloss' article from areavoices about that player. NC$$ really messed that up and again refused to hold themselves accountable. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103799

Both on the ice and in the FSN booth apparently, first few minutes we came out firing but not so much since.

Probably day to day if he didn't go into any detail, but then again...I wasn't able to hear his show today. Let's hope. That's another valuable loss on our blue line.

Your source? This would not be good at all

Gersich Jost Boeser Yon Gardner Poganski Janatuinen Hoff Wilkie Olson Simonson Bowen Ausmus T. Poolman C Poolman Shaw Cas.Johnson Peski Let's do it up. Big fan of these lines.

Hopefully a better start tonight. Love to see a quality 60 minutes from our boys; we've clearly struggled with that this season. We have the momentum to get that big Sweeeeeeep we've been waiting so long for.

I'll speak for myself. I'm not casting doubt on UND. At all. At the same time, I'm not setting any expectations. Perception is based on past experience, and in this context, past experience (especially in the last few years) has formed a respectable opinion of Tommy S and the Beavs. It's reasonable. Call it farfetched if you must.

Bemidji is playing just as well on the ice as they are on paper. What's quoted are opinions believed by many, but they are truly playing quality hockey. That's in no way discrediting the success that OUR boys are experiencing, but when we're talking about BSU, it's because at that time BSU is the primary focus. I've personally assumed the mindset of Bubs and the boys by saying this is one game at a time. We're expecting a fight out of Bemidji as they've brought one in years past. They are and have been a rival and they will always approach this series with a hungry mentality. Hopefully we can get the sweep, but we certainly can't expect it to come easy.

Serratorre always brings in tough teams, and as many of us know the Beavs are off to an incredible start. Great goalie in Bitzer too; it'll be fun to see our boys really work to put some pucks in the back of the net. Kicking off a very competitive stretch going into the break here. geaux sioux

I agree wholeheartedly. I was talking to the Nanne family between 2nd and 3rd intermission (Louie and I grew up together in Edina) and when hockey was the discussion, I had to give it to RPI- we were playing pretty sloppy, with a few notable moments in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Even though we kept lighting up the scoreboard, the defense has had some inconsistencies (i.e., play that led to Wood's breakaway goal). Early mistakes can be remedied though and I have full confidence that we will have a strong D corps going into the second half of the season.

Leading me to believe that they used a few replicas or trophies specifically made for presentation purposes for the ceremony. That's just me though.

Not quite sure that any trophies were replaced...
