Here is Dubays follow up post. Crack must really screw with ones head. I knew my post about North Dakota hockey would bring out the hatred from the fan base but I defy any fan to dispute the facts presented in the post. Obviously I editorialized when I called them thugs and a disgrace but everything i backed it up with is factual and unimpeachable. It amazes me that the fan base will forever deny something that everyone indside college hockey has acknowledged for years. North Dakota plays a style of hockey that goes over the line more than any t...eam in the game. But as I also mentioned, year in year out they are absolutely loaded with talent and an elite program by every measure. To be honest, I'm not sure why the fans bristles the way they do when this topic comes up. Again, read the post from yesterday and find a factual misrepresentation. There are none. Embrace what you are, an elite program that plays an in your face style that at times goes much farther than the college game should. Still don't believe me? Hakstol really did send a thug onto the ice in the closing seconds to pound on an opponent. That story is true and it's a disgrace at the college level. Dubay is a disgrace to college hockey.

Came across a whiny rant by Jeff Dubay on facebook. What a complete azzhole. Oh the butthurt. Here it is: Watching the Frozen Four title game and have seen everything I KNOW about North Dakota hockey completely reinforced. They have dynamic talent bordering on overwhelming at times and they are as classless a collection of thugs and assholes that you will ever see at the college level. It's an institutional problem. They're coached to be that way. I've seen former coach Dave Hakstol send a goon defenseman to line up at wing for a meaning less center ice faceoff at the end of a game long since decided so he could jump on and pummel his opponent when the puck was dropped. I've seen a team captain instigate a fist fight in the handshake line. TWICE! Never seen it before or since in any sport. And now I've spent twenty minutes watching them take every liberty possible against Quinnipiac including numerous borderline hits intentionally targeting an injured opponent, going specifically at the injured body part multiple times. They could very well be a couple hours from being the NCAA champion but they are, were, and always will be a fucking disgrace. Fans can troll away, I'm not dumb enough to read your crap or respond to it. I've spoken to coaches and referees from the old WCHA in very candid, off the record conversations and I've heard them say things about that program and the way it's run that are far more critical than anything I've even said.

Gary Thorn is my pick

How the hell can he be one of the best 4 refs in college hockey?

They both suck.

That could of been a major spear on that BC player. Right in the nut area.

They did pick up a couple of studs for the playoffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xB7YGXXNj8

Beep beep beep. The sound of the Wild backing into the playoffs.

And make that 4 losses in a row for the Wild. Really peaking for the playoffs if they make it. Most inconsistent team I can recall.

They won't play Chicago in the first round. More than likely Dallas or St Louis.

I agree but he did have a nice interview with coach Berry.

Berry was on the PA show Thursday I believe. PA did a good job and referred to UND as North Dakota hockey. Did not mention F'N Hawks until the end if the 12 minute interview.

Cags

Since he is having an in house hearing the minimum it can be is 5 games.

This has to be at least 5 games. Stupid as stupid gets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKp4gzFIzO4

5-0 against the Hawks this season after beating them tonight 4-1. That's a season sweep.

Ferris St with a whopping 5 shots on goal in 25 minutes. Yet are only down 3-2.

Since Torch took over: 14-6-1 (T-1st, wins) Goals-for: T-2nd 5v5 GF: 5th PP GF: 2nd Goal-differential: 3rd Sv%: T-4th 5v5 sv%: 7th

I agree. Great hire for Bucky.

Sources are saying Tony Granato will be the next Wisonsin coach.

Rewind DVR until it matches up with raffia feed

I love Dubnyk.

Up and downs of a goalie. It won't be the last time I do it.

Torch has now coached 20 games. In those 20 he has three 4 game win streaks. Parise with a hatty tonight and down the Flame 6-2.
