How about this! Foosball rules! The linesman throws the puck in from the timekeepers bench. Each team has 3 forwards, 5 ‘middies’, 2 defensemen and a goalie. The players CAN’T move!!! If the puck enters a dead zone that no one can reach, they throw in another puck! After 5 pucks, if no one scores, the move on to a spelling bee. If it’s still a tie, we go to beer pong to decide the winner!

Let's go back to 5x5, 10 minutes. Win=2 pts Tie=1 point each (if the favorite has to win by playing a pick up game then they don't deserve it) Loss=0 points. I don't know why it changed from 2 pts for a win to 3, but it's just stupid. The NHL was this way for DECADES. Why the change? Who the heck knows...

---- 'em.

I think ‘Bidnitsuits’ would be betta!

Say what you would like, but they are a young team that had they not taken a bad weekend to begin (Niagara) they'd be 8th in the pairwise. I agree that they are our 'best' chance but they are far from average.

Cage match! Chroma and Kleven, final minute of game two! Winner goes to the AHL, loser goes to Germany.

He should be suspended for that crap. Contact with the head (intentional) with the blocker and the stick.

Yeah, those losses to Niagara really messed up their PW

3-1 good guys. I am not sure what happens after that…

What does omaha have to do with this weekend? Stay focused!

Glad I missed that! Geez-Louise, not sure I could have weathered that storm! Not sure I even played around on the Insultnet back then. I just want everyone to put down their Monster Energy drink and relax! You know western Minnesota is kinda laid back, don’t get too worked up ‘round here. Too busy fishing the ‘hard water’…

Never said that, but the negativity on the board is reaching epic proportions. There is little wonder that our opponents are enjoying this, given the behavior when we are winning. I’m just saying things are neither that good, nor that bad. BB isn’t on the ice, not responsible for their play, merely for their preparation. Everyone drooled at the incoming year after year, these are different players, not raised like us. They don’t respond to tradition, hard work nor ‘frank discussion’. The stars ARE the problem, not the solution. I see a lot of individual play, no more than that. Shuffle the deck, start over, from the ground up.

More like Jan Brady University. I get pride, I get expectations, but this is getting old…

I have a better idea… how about the players generate the noise through brilliant defense, power offense with sweet passing and brick wall goaltending. The rest will take are of itself. Go Sioux!

Saw a clip on Twitter of Pionk's play on Cam years back. Still not a fan of Duluth, nor of their style of play.

My old boss told me that what I did was easy (I was a Category Director for proteins). Got to a point where I retired rather than listen to his crap all day. Turns out that he got demoted because he couldn't "do my job". I still chuckle over the details. Life is good!

and that is exactly the position that puts us where we are. What other teams are doing directly affects how we are playing. If North Dakota coaches realized that, they might actually evolve and try something different.

By studying our tendencies and developing strategies. Innit what dey a-pose tuh do?

I just hope they don’t show up in their ‘Leisure Suits’! That would be telling

Personally, I hate the Covid year. It’s killing college hockey over 4 years in terms of recruiting and development. Seniors, maybe juniors, but all the way to freshman? Nahhhhhh…

Is it possible that while ‘we’ have remained the ‘same’, other teams have changed, developed, studied and evolved?

All 25 is doing is developing bad habits. He needs to go to the next level to learn life’s hard lessons and grow. Cross check to the head = fist in the face…

Well, 9 and 17 were going to be so busy scoring that they didn’t need to help on D. (Dripping with sarcasm)…

6-4 good guys, big second period.

Remember though, they moved up because of what they didn’t do, no because of what they did…
