Intent to injure.....100%. The definition in the hockey world of running the goalie.

So the.....wait.....OUR goalies need more help from the (damnit).....OUR defensemen and th....OUR forwards so as to increase the....OUR save percentage. I'm glad D zone has become the OUR focus. Save percentage is definitely a team stat.

Years ago (like 22 give or take) Bottineau was in Devils Lake during a holiday tournament playing against West Fargo. The Bottineau goalie was given credit for 86 saves in a 5-3 game that West Fargo won. That was back when it was 15 minute periods as well. I remember it because we played Bottineau the next game and beat them handedly, but only had like 45 shots on net and people were asking us why West Fargo (who had yet to ever make a state tournament at that time) could have twice as many shots as we did.

Sandy with a definite party foul when asked if he likes the white sauce on his Red Pepper grinder he replies that he likes "whatever it is they put on it...." It's war now.....

"So I beg of you....please....please do not let them have the puck right here with less than two minutes left in any period or @MafiaMan will never let me hear the end of it." #ferdamafia

Devils Lake has never done a great job of tracking shots at high school games. When Sheyenne was there earlier this year they had Devils Lake with 44 shots and Sheyenne with 50. So 94 shots on goal in a 51 minute hockey game? Or one shot on goal per team per minute....ummm...

Nodak black? Asking for a friend...

Your defense is dog $hit Kevin. We have to score every possession. We can't have negative cute plays that lead to punts because we can't put our defense on the field....

I didn't realize Morrow had 33 points last year from the blue line....Interesting....

I'm guessing there isn't any debate on what jerseys to wear anymore.

I like what you've got here, but if you're telling me that Bubbs makes these changes.....

They got whooped by Omaha, we gave up 10 plus goals to Western. Over under on Spicer scoring a goal this weekend? Over under on Johnson getting a start? Over under on the word culture being thrown around? Does 28 finally get a suit???? Lets talk about it keyboard warriors!

Truly remarkable that the team won 13 games with that defense.

Funny thing about this year was at no time did they get my hopes up super high. Not even after the Buffalo game. The defense was just too God awful all year long. Welp, next year as always Viking fans!!

If they blow it up it may be time for Kirk to go as well. Not worth paying him up the hilt if it's a rebuild they seek.

Oof. Way short of the sticks. And the Kirk haters will love that. Fun season. I don't think they were ever serious contenders.

If the Vikings happen to score a TD here I think I go for 2. Just can't have the possibility of the defense being on the field again for a prolonged period.

They'll get mauled by that San Fran line. Fun game so far today though.

There is just no chance if they win today....none. Kirk holding in there. I'll never understand the haters. I know it's a money thing, but the guy has been a rock this year even with all the picks.

Like I said. Hey, 13 wins this season, can't complain. Get some pieces on defense and a guy with a different philosophy on defense and next year we could be real superbowl contenders.

Third and 1 and that's the play.... A throwback to Kirk...

Extremely low point in UND athletics, much agreed. I'll be honest and say I'm all in hockey and football and can't name a single player on pretty much any other team. Not like any of them are doing anything anyways.

Johnson was alright. Not great by any means of the imagination. It was an all in on black attempt by Berry to get his team a spark. Practices hard, a great teammate, but he's not Matt Hrynkiw, and we don't have the support around him that Matt did. Hopefully it's a wake-up call to 34 and 32 because we can't start Johnson again. My opinion is that the success of the group will live and die with DeRidder. If he can find the form he had at Mariucci maybe there is some hope of a run to the postseason. If the season ends much the same as what we've seen to this point then at minimum we need to see two new goalies on campus next fall. Fortunately Hobie Hedquist has played really well his last 10 games up in the BC after kind of an average start to the season.

This is 100% correct. How in the world has it gotten to this? "How many goals do you think Johnson will give up tonight" a friend asked me when word got out. Minimum 5 I said.....guess I was wrong again.

We are so bad defensively. Cheese has been okay, but we just can't do the simple things.
