From the top camera angle you really couldn't see that the puck was in the net until Knight jabbed at the puck/pads. The puck, while sitting just across the line, was covered by the goalie's glove. Immediately after the play the goalie started pointing at Knight like he was sticking the goalie's pads. I bet that the refs were not aware that the puck was already in before any of that occurred, and thought that Knight was the player that scored the alleged goal. From the other angles it was clear that the puck was in before any of the other activity. Thankfully it didn't end up mattering.

Belfour was a first team all-american and first team WCHA. You can't compare his numbers to current college goalies. That would be like comparing the top scorers from that era to the top scorers now.

Friday - Kristo Saturday - Genoway I guess I agree with that Scorpio guy

The gopher's goals against average, if I remember correctly, hasn't been that bad, or hasn't jumped that much in recent years. The offensive numbers on the other hand have plummeted. That may have something to do with the D's ability, and the offensive points the D have put up, but their issue has been putting the puck in the net.

I've always been intrigued at how differently people react to awful terminal illness. Some make the situation so much worse for themselves and their loved ones by the way they fight and handle the illness. I am always amazed by people like Perry who, despite facing adversity, are strong and are a source of hope and strength for those around them. Nobody wants to lose a loved one, but it is such a comfort, blessing, and source of inspiration to see the dignity and love in which Perry dealt with his illness. He brought together what death can't tear apart. Seeing character like Perry demonstrated makes me a better man, parent, and husband. RIP Perry

I have two degrees from UND, have always supported the University, and am deeply saddened to see the name go. But, I can't fault the ND Supreme Court or the Board. Like it or not, the Supreme Court made the right legal decision on the issue which was presented. The decision, in the end, has little to nothing to do with the name being retired. Also, what was the Board supposed to do? They were backed into a corner and there isn't an option to fight. To not change the name would cripple the University and athletics. To keep the name at this point would be cutting off our nose to spite our face, to say the least. I completely agree that the political correctness is crazy, and that a very small yet very vocal minority should not guide the ship. If I were a member of Standing Rock I would be outraged. No matter what the results of the vote would have been, the members as a whole should have had their voices heard. I see that as the biggest disappointment, and much more offensive than the name Fighting Sioux. True to the name I believe we Fighting Sioux fought the good fight. The political climate was just too much to overcome. RIP

In the modern era this conversation begins and ends with Hrkac. It was a different game in 1987, but the way he dominated the college game was crazy. Toews, Parise... will have much better pro careers, and Patrick/Christian... had better pro careers, but Hrkac is my pick in a blowout. I was a huge fan of Casey and Eddie the Eagle, but I think that a forward would be the most memorable.

This is typical WCHA. Screw up the Genoway suspension, suspend Lammy for nothing, and do a complete makeup call to suspend Marvin for 3 games. The Wisconsin hit didn't come close to warranting a 3 game suspension. It should have been a two game suspension for the Genoway hit. The refs should have been told going into the UND/SCSU series to let them go if they square up and drop the gloves in a fair fight. Both players should have then been given the usual 5, DQ, and sit a game. The Wisconsin hit should have been either a 2 or 5 with nothing else. The WCHA is making this much more difficult than it should be.

The other exhibits are just foundation to admit the test result. As was already stated, reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle and problable cause to arrest would be dealt with in a pretrial motion. These aren't proper issues for trial. If a defendant does well on the field tests, and the test isn't overly high, it isn't uncommon to get an aquittal. The jury has to answer two question, (1) was the defendant under the influence and/or (2) was the test .08 or greater within 2 hours of the stop. The intoxilizer is a devise which is easy to poke holes in. Without an expert to explain the test the jury is basically left with a sheet of page with a number on it with no real explanation as to how the number was obtained. If the test result doesn't sync up with what the jury sees in the video there can be reasonable doubt.

A guess that leading the WCHA is GAA isn't good enough for you? The problem this year is on the other side of the ice. I heard the quality scoring chances on Friday were 22-6 in UND's favor. Saturday's had to be pretty close. I completely understand being very upset at the results, but I don't understand saying this team is getting outplayed. And to say that defense is the problem makes no sense. I'm not a big fan of a few of the D-men, but number-wise they have done a great job giving this team a chance to win.

College hockey is goofy. The last two championship teams were not nearly as talented as some of the non-championship teams. I believe that scoring depth, a lock-down checking line, and a strong PK are the most important aspects. Top notch college players don't produce at the same level as top NHL players. An elite college player can put up better NHL numbers. That's why it is so critical to have the 3rd and 4th lines chip in 25 goals. The top college scorers light it up on the PP, not so much at even strengh. Rolling 4 solid lines is key. If you have a checking line that neutralizes the other team's top line ES you have a huge advantage. Not letting the other teams elite players score on the PP is critical. Most teams have a talented first line. Not everyone has Henderson-Calder-Ulmer to completely shut them down. I like the way the team is shaping up. I think the components are there. I just hope that a couple guys step up and say, "I want to be on the ice against Schroeder, and there is no f'n way he is getting on the scoresheet while I'm on the ice." If our 3 can batter their 1, I like our chances of rolling our 1,2,4 against their 2,3,4

I don't remember, but how many players were drafted on the 1997 championship team?

I'd love to see a true checking line in the mold of the classic Henderson-Calder-Ulmer line. They could score and they absolutely shut down the oppositions top line. I'd go with Malone-Zajac-Lammy to fill those spots. They have the talent and the right attitude to get it done.

DaveK - if you had any credibility you just lost it when you say that Gretzky was great in all aspects of the game. Count me as someone who thinks he is the greatest hockey player of all time, yet I will freely acknowledge that he was a subpar player in his own end. He was just so incredible offensively that it didn't matter.

By that definition Gretzky was not a great player because he was not a strong defensive player. AO is a hard nosed player and demands 2 or 3 guys accounting for him at all times. His career stats are nearly identical to Crosby's, and he hasn't had the talent around him like Crosby. If you take Crosby out of the Pitt lineup they are still a competitive team. Without AO the Caps are awful. They are both elite players. To say that an argument can't be made that AO is better is crazy.

I almost always pull for the ex-college kids to do well in the NHL, but I certainly pay more attention to my favorite UND players. I wasn't a Kessel or Vanek fan, but it is good for the college game to have them succeed in the NHL. There are also ex-UND players that I don't really care for. I don't seek out a Bruins game, but I do seek out the Devils, Blues, 'Hawks...

Osh should have gotten the hit of the year as well for the 2nd Nash check.

The money line and DOT were great, and Toews, Oshie, Stafford, Zajac and Parise will hopefully have better pro careers, but the Hrkac Circus is without question the best line in UND history. The game was different and the talent level in college hockey was different, but that line was off the charts in comparison with the rest of the league. They dominated. Joyce, as memorialized in song, owns the boards. Hrkac had 116 points in ONE YEAR. They won the league and NCAA. As far as the best COLLEGE line, and I'm pretty sure that UND is a college (University), Hrkas wins hands down.
