Dan Hammer's hockey knowledge.

It'll be the norm to just keep adding kids like Gropp to the list. We'll see maybe one or two more off the next class. Would not be surprised if Gersich jumps ship.

That the Packers will still roll the Vikings without their two best receivers in front of a national TV audience.

So let me get this straight? As soon as he's ready to go Josh Freeman is the starter? So does that mean that the Christian Ponder era is over?

That its my week off but my wife still made me get out of bed and get the two year old ready for daycare. PS: And my neighbors leaves falling my hot tub. One day I'll get a chain saw and solve the problem.

Won't be going but would love to hear a Miami fans overview of their team. Obviously your first line is absolutely tremendous, and two young goaltenders with a full year under their belt of CCHA hockey. I apologize to your fan base in advance for picking Miami to win the national championship last year.....killed any chance they had.....

I'm bothered that others get to play golf while I chase around a two year old.

When a backup QB goes for 36 plus points against you in fantasy football. That really bothers me.

79 yard touchdown passes bother me too.

The Vikings are bothering me again today like they always do..... What else bothers me is that Josh Freeman is going to be the quarterback when he's ready.....so they are they pulling the plug on Ponder? Which doesn't bother me.

I've always thought...."if you aren't somewhere near the edge there is no way you can see the hockey.....ohh you're just here to be seen."

This series will show us where UND is defensively. Miami is a lot like Yale. Puck pressure, and they buzz around the offensive end. I'm thinking Simpson will be out there whenever Riley Barber's unit is. They need to take away that line's time and space or we could be talking about an early season sweep on the road.

To me its too simple. Watch Mark play with Parks. I know they don't want to be a one unit show, but they aren't this year. Heck, Johnson doesn't have to be with them. Put OD with them. But those two are just too good together to keep them apart.

Ummm....you meant his career right?

Hak knows more about hockey than I'll ever know. I guess I'll just sit back and let that chemistry show up at some point in time.

Alright....thoughts: ~After week #1 the #1 goaltender is obviously Zane. Played very well, and made some big saves when they needed them in the third period. ~They can't have Mark play with Mitch. If anyone who watched disagrees I'm all ears for why it some how works. ~Rocco and Drake will draw a lot of attention. Thats why Parks-Mark-Johnson will be that much more potent. ~Keaton Thompson learned what it feels like to get undressed in front of 12,000 people. He'll learn though. ~Stecher again was solid. ~I like the grit Pattyn plays with, but at the end of the game you can't take a penalty in the opposite end of the rink. Hak said it best last night. That group can't take penalties. Series went how I thought it would. On the road next week in Miami! Ohh wait....the one in Ohio?

I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. Just responding to a post asking if it means anything. I'm very glad they do it even in the non conference games.

I enjoyed the referee explaining to the Vermont coaches why there would be a shootout. And the Vermont coach making sure the game would go down as a tie.

Nope. That was just for show. Didn't mean a darn thing.

Parks and Rocco both score on the same move..... ZANE WITH THE SAVE!!!!!! And its a tie....

"If Drake scores here its over!" Wait.....no its not....

Goodness Rocco.....

And a shootout that will mean absolutely positively nothing. But still a nice added moment for the fans.

And we've got ourselves a 2-2 tie.

Ufff Pattyn......the fine line between gritty and dumb. UND lucky to be in OT. Zane made some great saves to keep it tied.
