Any idea if this game can be viewed online for those people who don't have Big Ten Network?

According to Mel Kiper Jr., Eastern Washington has the fourth best safety prospect, Tevin McDonald, in college football next year.

Ausmus is not coming to UND. Heard through the grapevine that he is going to Duluth.

Any idea of the conference tournament will be on ESPN 3 or if it will be shown anywhere?

I actually was at the Bridgeport game yesterday and Nelson looked like himself. He intercepted a pass in the high slot and then fired one post-and-in to put Bridgeport up 3-2. He was excellent in all zones as well as the face-off circle. Based on what I saw yesterday, he would without a doubt be in the NHL if there wasn't a lockout.

UND got some love during the Kansas State-Oklahoma State football game on ABC last night. Hope they have a good showing.

I have a feeling the mcnaughton and broadmoor aren't the goals for this team. They are only looking at one thing.

Do we have any idea what the schedule will look like for next season? It is the first season in the NCHC and was curious as to whether or not there are any non-conference games already announced.

For all of the people on this board who have such strong opinions on whether or not fighting should be allowed in hockey, I would like to know what percentage has played or been a part of the game at a level other than beer league or watching your mite play hockey. I have been around the game for a number of years as a player, coach, and official and it really bothers me that so many people think they are experts on how to clean up the game by eliminating fighting and cheap shots but yet they have never been in that situation to know what it is. Believe me when I say this, there is room for the game of hockey to improve. I'm not saying that cheap shots should be allowed in the game, but they are going to continually happen. It's a lot harder to patrol the game in the heat of battle than many people think, and that is coming from being both a coach and official. Emotions get high and things happen that are not always seen. I would like for the people have all of the answers to step back and look at the game from a different perspective. There is much more to the game than the fans see and a number of people with such strong opinions don't understand that. End of rant.

I tend to agree with everything that Stromer said. Al was a saint in Devils Lake. If he did things that were so bad, why did they not get rid of him before. And it's not because no one wanted the job, people would kill for a head high school hockey program in the EDC.

I also heard that Chorney was not going to get the rookie max from Edmonton if that means anything.

I'm pretty sure he did not withdraw from school, just moved out of the dorms.

After talking with players that played with and against Mike Cichy, he will not have the impact on the program that many are expecting. From what I've heard, he can't even bench 100lbs. He is not a good team player and not liked by his teammate because of his attitude. Don't get me wrong, he has the skills to play at the next level but just isn't the type of player that many people like to play with.
