Hmmm....I wonder why they have so much success? Bohl does such a remarkable job of having such a united team. A former student of mine plays for him and just beams about him. They truly all play for the one greater cause than themselves. I'd like to see that become a policy for the UND football team as well. Part of you being on the football team is staying around with the group in the summer time to get better together.

I go over to GPL for a laugh. Although sadly this forum at time resembles gpukelive more than we'd like.

From the highlights as well saw some good poise from the QBs. Although it may be easy to have more poise when you know you're not going to get hit at all. Hanson looks so small on the video. Glad they've got a Grafton kid on the roster, but probably won't see the field with who is ahead of him.

Just watched the highlight package put together at undsports.com. Wow did #19 have himself a day. We've been hearing all day about how he amazed today, and those highlights back it up every bit. They need to get that young man the football as much as possible.

Where did they use Golladay the most? The slot or on the outside? Hardin just kind of go through the motions today?

Nice recap. Do you think the offense will be better than last season?

I guess I really don't care who the QB is if he can effectively get the football to our outstanding receiving group.

I haven't followed this spring that closely, but I guess I'm either: A) Upset that Mollberg hasn't really pulled away in the QB competition from Bartels B) Thrilled that Bartels is at the level of Mollberg and will be pushing him for time this next season. Which one is it?

I'm not worried about the goaltending next year, but I think you need to bring in a kid that competes for the spot. Zane or Clark will be the guy, likely Zane. But I'd hate to see a situation where say Zane gets hurt, Clark is in there and can't stop a beach ball. Everyone remembers what happened way back when when Ryan Sofie was put into a game. Did alright, but not a college level goaltender. I'd like to have three goaltenders that can play at any time. Wouldn't mind a Brandt-Parise-Lamoureax scenario.

No goaltender talk, but another will be needed. I'm watching a NAHL playoff game right now between Minot and Austin, and the goaltender for Minot is a big athletic kid that is backwards, but takes up a lot of net. Last name is Parks, don't believe to be any relation to Mike Parks, but I've been impressed with what I've seen from him. Nice to have a guy like Tate, but at the same time it'd be nice to have three guys capable of playing at any moments notice. Likely won't be this Parks kid, but I wouldn't mind see them bringing in a kid that will compete right away.

I'm talking has gotten better from what was already exceptional. Thompson may be the best skater on the team next season, Rocco included.

Agreed. I think LaDue will play above being a Freshman next season. Give Thompson a year or two, and he'll be the best defenseman on the team. I'm excited to see if his skating ability has improved since the last time I saw him live. Of all the players in that group I think Thompson is the one with the most talent.

As a former coach in the North Dakota hockey world I wish coach Bina well. Tremendous person, absolutely tremendous. Yeah he had his run ins with players/parents, but what coach doesn't? Wonder who the next coach will be. Nick Fuher?

Gage Ausmus is an East Grand Forks kid who originally was headed to Denver, but backed out after Gwoz got the boot. Good defenseman, a nice addition if he indeed makes his way home.

Yup, thats where I got my start at. Loved visiting that site.

I was there too. Along with my dad.....and Sacred Heart.....and Goldy.

I once bought MafiaMan an ice cream cone, and he still didn't apologize to me personally for his role in ending the 1998 hockey season.

Rocco is more of a Dean Blais system player than a Hakstol system player. Dave likes the bigger physical forwards, Deano likes em small and just ferocious on the puck like little bees. I would take a full team of guys like Rocco. What he lacks on in size, he makes up with his heart.

Could you imagine UND hosting a super regional at the Ralph against like Minnesota or Michigan for the right to go to the frozen four? One word....epic.....

I didn't take any stance, I just asked you a question that you didn't answer. Ufff....ignorance....

People have their own opinions in the flood fight, thats fine. But are you honestly backing Ed's comments? PS: How does Scott Hennen have anything to do with this?

^This...... If you have the puck, the other team can't score.

Absolutely. An absolute embarrassment to our state.

Five guys with the philosophy of not allowing time or space when they don't have the puck. When they have the puck get it to the net as much as possible, and carry the puck into the zone as much as possible, even when they didn't have numbers. Last night in the third period Yale was forced to dump it by three QU players back after a change. It was a 2 on 3 rush, and whomever had the puck for Yale played a PERFECT lob dump into the corner where Miller could get it on his stick right away. It was like a flag pattern in football that Miller and his linemate played to perfection. Yale then kept the puck in the zone for about an entire shift and created two or three good chances from not giving away possession.

Unique. Usually you'll see that at like a DIII school or NJCAA school. I know that Williston State, MSU-Bottineau, and I believe Minot State have something similar to this on their websites. UND obviously needs to put something like this up at fightingsioux.com.
