One of Schmaltz's better weekends. He has been tremendous all weekend.

Thats the definition of charging the goaltender. Face off needs to be outside the zone.

Omaha goaltender out...... UND might need to take a timeout to give Schmaltz a breather here.

Schmaltz has been on the ice about the last 3 minutes here.

Blais going to pull his goalie at any time here.

Well you've got to think that its Schmaltz, LaDue and Stecher the rest of the game.

About 11 mins left. 3-2 UND. Simpson hasn't played for a while.

About fifteen minutes left in the third. 3-2 UND.

Pocket change for Deano....pocket change!

Would've been nice to get to the third period with a two goal lead. 20 minutes left. Find that elusive win fellas.

DRAKE!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!! I'M ALIVE!!!!!!

Parks scores the night after I have him in the survivor..... Come on Drake....I need to win the thing once in my lifetime....

I like the fact that Clark is in, and I hope he plays well and earns another start. Still think Zane is the guy though.

I can't believe I made round four....bout time. But getting there by default two rounds....yikes....

Northern Colorado is terrible.....but they're better than Valpo. And I mean a lot better than Valpo.

Two years after that season.....

I was going to throw out a comment about Frazee and the bar scene, but Zane's scholarship dollars probably makes that comparison too.

You know....the Zane-Frazee comparison fits......yikes.....

Yeah, the line combos had me a bit confused. You need to put Mitch on a line of guys that are muckers, and aren't going to get up and down the ice. He proved last year he couldn't skate with Kristo and Knight. Here's My take: Rodwell-Pattyn-Mitch Mark-Johnson-Parks Rocco-Drake-Chyzyk Murphy-Gaarder-Sanderson

You've got to think they'd take this worst home crowd of all time into account when looking forward. Its all about dollars in the athletic departments, and I can't imagine that seeing 2,000 people show up in a facility that holds more than five times that sits well. If Mussman is back next year I know a handful of current season ticket holders that will not be renewing. And thats only out of ticket holders that I know. Buy him out. Get some excitement back with some new blood in the program, and fill the seats back up with people who are anxious to see improvement with the football team.

SCSU beats Miami 2-1. Methinks those two teams will be at the top of the league for a while this year.

The third year guys have me scratching my head a bit. They've got to set the ship straight because they're the foundation of this group. Four losses in a row.....

Some thoughts (only from what I heard from TH) ~Zane has to figure out the weak goal thing. He is too good of a goaltender to let it be a consistent thing. Its gotten to the point where I expect one a game. ~I think if you're looking to add some speed to the forward group you think about Thompson playing forward. Too much talent there not to have on the ice. I'd rather see him on a wing than Mitch. ~Talk about spreading the wealth on the lines after the top unit. Guess if they want to play four lines it may have to stay that way. ~Someone needs to step up and be the difference maker Sunday. And I'd better go out and say that a Dean Blais team blew a two goal lead.....but I guess they still won.

Hak post game: ~Played a good second period even with bad goal. ~Good hockey game decided by the players. ~Played hard. ~Just came up short. ~Hak not happy with the officials on the Gaarder penalty. ~Good games from Johnson, Schmaltz.

I'll stick with Drake. Unless he plays with Mitch again. I mean come on Hak, give him a guy that he can work with.
