  1. I know we have one of the greatest home-ice advantages in college hockey, but I have a feeling these guys are pumped to be going on the road, and it will be good for team chemistry. 

    Also, I have a feeling we will see more structure this weekend with it being a road series and not a home series against a team we're "supposed to beat."

    I like UND 

    I LOVED Fighting Sioux Hockey bought lots of stuff

    UND Hockey was OK but never bought ND or UND only stuff

    Fighting Hawk Hockey I love but not as much as Fighting Sioux & don't plan on buying F H stuff

    For me it was never about the University 1st & I bet most Season Tickets holders are not UND Graduates

    It has always been about good Hockey &  (closest thing ND will ever have to pro sports) & now Fantastic facility 

    At the end you state "It has always been about good hockey...."

    But at the beginning you say how your love for the hockey has changed with the nickname/merchandise/logo. 

    If it has "always been about good hockey" to you I'm having a hard time understanding your position. The hockey hasn't actually changed even though the nickname has.

  3. Does anyone know if any of the other MN schools have ever tried to bid for a regional at the X? Why is it always UMN's regional?  Why not Duluth...SCSU....MSU....BSU?   Is it simply a matter of the X making the call on which school they place a bid with?

  4. I was in and out of the broadcast last night; but the play of the game/turning point for me was in the first when Duluth was getting set to go on their 5x3 PP. Stecher was forced to take the draw after LJ was tossed. He immediately drew a penalty after working his butt off at the drop of the puck.  The 5x3 goes to a 4x3, and consequently we go into the intermission with a 2 goal lead instead of it being 2-1 (or worse) and Duluth carrying all the momentum.

  5. I believe the bigger mistake is trading away Hamilton. He's a top four defense guy. 

     

     

    I agree 100%.  Sweeney ended up making a good situation out of the Lucic deal.  I wasn't too happy with it at first, but it's been rumored for a couple years that he might be traded.  For what he ended up getting for Lucic in the end, that's a good deal.

     

    The Hamilton trade on the other hand, and how the draft unfolded with picks 13, 14 and 15...........UGH! 

     

    They mentioned on NHL network last night that BOS offered 6 years somewhere around $5.5 AAV to Hamilton, and he ended up signing for 6 and $5.75AAV with Calgary.  It's possible the writing was on the wall that Dougie was looking for a change and they got what they could.  The money wasn't that far apart.

  6. We play way too many schools from that state for it not to be brought to their attention if we chose it. I for one would think it would be more embarrassing to steal a rival state's nickname over that of a local high school.

    If we were the North Stars maybe we could get an invite to the mid-season college hockey tourney at the X named in our honor!

    Roll Ridas!

  7. I think that's the place. Been a while since I've been to GF - store closed a long time ago, right?

    Yep, it has been a while. I wanna say mid to late 90s.
