Sandy's Dogs got one more point than UND did this past weekend. UND getting swept by the bye week, and Duluth losing Friday while getting an OT point while not scoring any goals on Saturday in Denver. Adam Gajan heads to Italy to be an Olympian while the Shaugabay, Plante, Plante line is no more according to reports. I'd assume any time there is a power play they'll find a way to put them all on PP1. We need to take advantage of their goaltending a man down this weekend. Coach Sandy probably a bit more collapse mentality defensively without his top guy, but they still can be stingy defensively as we saw Saturday at Magness. I think they surprise us one night and the teams trade points this weekend. I'll say 4-3 Dogs, then 5-1 UND. Denver and CC clash this weekend, so we are going to need @Godsmacks Springs city kitties to take a couple from the pios as well.

I think they have 24 total kids, so any underclassmen is probably expected to give a period or two of JV service. They played in the Winter Classic in WF a few years back and their JV was 85 percent their varsity with a lot of kids playing 5 periods to make both games happen.

Always the goalies....always.... If we score 10 a game from here on out we are fine...

UND jumps to 3rd in the rankings with Western taking a bad home loss to Stu and company. Really need to take advantage of the dogs not having Gajan next weekend.

First thing I said to the individual that relayed this to me (a higher up in the ND activities world) was, "There are going to be a few really pissed off teams about this." Two for sure in the Grand Forks Metro....

Would you say that period was on the softer side for the Devils?

Need ya here Simon....

In a conversation today I learned that all teams in the EDC will be required to schedule Mayport at least once next season for points towards the EDC standings. I know there is already a confirmed date with Sheyenne, others I guess will be required to follow.

Jays and WF Packers play tonight in Jamestown. You heading there coach?

Sheyenne and D Lake just had a war up in DL. 2-1 Sheyenne wins while getting outshot something fierce. Sheyenne with back to back 2-1 wins where their goaltender was outstanding. Looks like they may end up as the 3 seed in the EDC.

I'll take Red river, Bagley, North, Davies, Central, Minot.

Nothing is finalized as far as them getting assured EDC games next season. I do know that Sheyenne has agreed to play them next season, and I'd assume the relationships with GPR and Devils Lake stay the same as its not a terrible bus trip to either from the Mayville area and being a smaller school and getting non conference games is a bit of a nightmare in some scenarios. I'm sure they'd love to consistently get a RR, or a GFC on the schedule, but that will only happen with full membership into the EDC, and I'd assume there will be major pushback from those schools as they don't want to lose a Warroad or Bemidji and I guess in Central's case a Moorhead off their non conference schedule.

Mayport just takes the 10th seed into the EDC tournament and plays a full independent schedule. With the limited number of "non conference" games available, not a lot of teams will put them on the schedule in the EDC as they'd rather play Minnesota teams or "better competition" non conference. There are talks going on currently to allow Mayport to play one EDC game against each team next season. Believe the only current EDC teams that have played them are Grafton, and it looks like they have a game against Devils Lake before EDC.

I think it makes the most sense. Furthest bus trip is Grafton conference wise and you can play your non conference with Bismarck schools.

Big win for Jamestown. Hearing rumors that they are floating the possibility of moving back to the EDC. Would save on travel costs immensely.

Its going to take me a while to get used to the WHL commits. I thought Jundt would have more success in Calgary. Got some more time to grow as he's only an 08 I guess.

Just checked Grubb at Shattuck and pushing along at a decent pace for the prep team. If someone could talk to the Hale kid about his commitment to CC.....

I think he was completely fine missing the hand shake line. 99% of the time the official gets to communicate the fact with the coach he has been removed from the game before the coach leaves the bench. In his mind they come back and win 7-6 Friday night with the major, and his team blew a 2 goal lead when the game was played 5x5 and his top line was gassed. Someone already mentioned it, but they are legitimately a head coach away from becoming legit. Start recruiting the CA area hard and get a kid like Soller or other kids that hike up to Shattuck and they could very well be a top three program in the NCHC.

Busy week for Devils Lake. Had Central on Saturday, West Fargo tomorrow, at Red River on Thursday, and then makeup from mother nature with Sheyenne on Friday. Believe they play all their EDC games before they get Mr. Nelson back. They've been in every game minus the Central game since early January, but haven't been able to get over the top. Tied 1-1 with Red River until the wheels fell off with about 10 minutes to go in that one. At least they have Saturday to Monday to get some rest before getting Davies on Tuesday of next week followed by a trip to Grafton.

Western won and jump a point ahead of Denver, but Denver will jump back ahead when they get their three points from SCSU later this evening. UND will hold an 8 point lead into the break.

And WMU tied it.....

6 points. Now a week off and the Dawgs in Daloot.

Keeping it classy Powers. Well done coach.

Have yourself a night Strinden.

Minot kid Boser with a pretty good weekend. Guessing he's glad he picked ASU over Miami at this point.
