Q and A article with Shane Gersich on mnhockeypub.com: Link: http://www.mnhockeyh...cle/show/173473 Gopher fans talk pretty highly of Gersich. Be quite the get if he commits to UND. Has very strong family ties with the Gophers though so I don't see it happening. I do like that UND is the only school he name drops as one of the schools that he'll be visiting.

Maybe it has been explained but from this so-called reporter what is the definition of the pageview stat? Cause if it is just a pageview then it literally doesn't mean sh*t. If they aren't going by unique visits then it doesn't mean anything. If it was just pageviewing that can easily be inflated simply by a person refreshing a page they are viewing or visiting the site/blog multiple times a day. Either way, I do agree it is ridiculous. I'd actually be more interested in the unique visit stats of SiouxSports and Bisonville. The webmasters would have to be willing to share that sort of info though.

Per Schlossman: Link: http://undhockey.are...es.com/?p=91350 As a resident of Minot, this would absolutely be great for the town as well as for western part of the state in general if this happened. Minot is 95% UND fans(and I'm being generous towards the so-called NDSU contingent here ). You have to wonder if Mr. Reggie Morelli is involved in trying to make this happen.

I have nothing against Sweeney but listening to him call UND hockey games was like watching paint dry. I usually muted my tv and had the radio on Hennessey. Stagnant and bland are the words I'll use to describe Fighting Sioux Sports Network broadcasts. I'm looking forward to what Midco will bring to the table since they have the possibility to take UND broadcasts to a whole new level which FSSN couldn't. I will miss Jim Scanlan's occasional "OHHHH BABY!!" when a Sioux player would score a very sweet goal.

I don't see the advantage of that. It'd just be fragmenting discussion in my opinion. There's only so many threads that can be or are worth discussing in regards to conference talk. You'd be looking at maybe 1-10 threads per subforum if that.

Guessing it's for moderator's to send warnings to a user when they are breaking the rules. My bet is you rack up enough warning "points" and you'll get get banned temporarily or something like that.

Zemgus Girgensons signed with the Buffalo Sabres. That's a blow to Vermont. Even if the kid would've most likely been a one and done. Schlossman says he'll most likely end up in the CHL.

Just like Willy, I was baffled by that comment as well. Bjugstad is good but he isn't even close to Toews' good. Bjugstad has lots of time to get better though.

Bjugstad returning is a good thing for college hockey even if he plays for the rodents. Should be an interesting final year of the WCHA. I can see UND and MN duking it out to finish first. The only two games they play each other should interesting to see how they match up against each other.

It isn't youtube but FSN puts up all highlights on SnappyTV. So if you're just looking to view the goal replays you can do so here: http://www.snappytv....ta-vs-minnesota I went through them and still puts a smile on my face seeing shocked and dumbfounded looks on the Gopher fans and players!

My point still stands either here or there. Saying he was one of the worse D at UND is even more absurd.

So you are an oldie who enjoys acting like an ***hole on the internet? Congratulations! You deserve a cookie! This confirms that some people don't mature with age.

You really do enjoy making ignorant comments don't you? You probably didn't even know Genoway played for Houston. That is the only logical answer if you say he was the worst there.

Most likely. We'll see how he does for Medicine Hat. He showed a lot of potential prior to this year. I certainly don't fault him for not coming to UND. He wasn't going to get a whole lot of playing time his freshman year. Education isn't a big concern either considering his father can pay for his education with ease. So I understand why he decided to simply focus all on hockey. Though to be honest, I still don't see him making into the NHL. May be able to toil in Europe or the KHL.

That's surprising considering all the times I've seen Koules play I'd barely notice he was on the ice or played in the game.

Midco will be able to air the hockey games no matter what since it's regional. CBS College Sports has exclusive rights to the national broadcasts. So even if they don't air a game of ours, FCS won't be able to pick it up.

Part of it is about room on Wisconsin's blueline/roster. Based on the chart that Chuck Schwartz posted at USCHO.com's forum they will be pretty be maxed out on the blueline in 2013 when McCoshen is expected to play college.

Did I hear PP clock mentioned? Viewership ratings are going to increase just because of that alone! There will be a lot of "Ooo's and ahhhh's!"

It'll also reach most parts of South Dakota and some areas in Minnesota. Unfortunately, I believe that is as good as it'll get. With the deal that the NCHC made with CBS College Sports, UND can't have any sort of deal like it had with FCS to expand viewership area.

Except in North Dakota. Besides Fargo, the rest of the state follows the UND hockey team religiously. NDSU football? Not so much. Hell, the closet fans in Minot barely came out when the Bison won the title. Leave the confines of Fargo area and head west, everyone is more interested in UND hockey.

Hakstol was at the draft last year when JT Miller was drafted. He got interviewed and one of the funnier moments was Drew Stafford pretended to be a media reporter and it took a while for Hakstol to realize Stafford was next to him.

Jordan Schmaltz drafted in the 1st round, 25th overall by the St. Louis Blues. Congrats Jordan! Hopefully Oshie can be a good influence on Jordan getting him to stay 3-4 years at UND. At least play a year with Nick!

Must we all forget that watchmaker49 is the know it all when it comes to all things UND? Shame on you cutter for not agreeing with him even though it is obvious that watchmaker must've been watching some other game.

Wow. Speculation is fun. Pretty sure the talk was they brought Saunders into the fold because it was a foregone conclusion that Dell was leaving after the year. Especially since he almost left the year before. Hakstol needed to bring a goalie in to help share time with Gothberg in the event that Dell would leave early. I'm so sure that Dell is just shaking in his boots of the prospect of less ice time. Funny thing is, all UND players know they have to earn the right to be in the playing lineup. If Dell stays, it'd be good to have Saunders and Gothberg around cause it'll push him to maintain being a solid/dependable goalie.

I find it hilarious that Bison fans still have their panties in a wad over this. I can't believe this is still being discussed! Why should I be surprised though? Bison fans love talking about UND. NDSWho?
