To take that further.... i have Gopher fans that label UND as cheap hacks but when i mention Westrum, they smile, laugh, and take pride in the fact that MN had a guy like that. the contradiction is what frustrates me in this argument.
hey, we agree on something! So, do you think UND as a whole is "cheap" or "physical?" i'm only asking since you pointed out that every fan base would argue that UND is cheap.
i know someone that is good friends with him and Westrum himself admits it with pride.
There's a big difference between "cheap" and "physical." examples of cheap: Westrum, Schaack, Prpich, Canady physical: MacWilliam, Greene, Oshie, Commodore..... i can't think of any guys for your team.
I could get behind this idea. when is the last time they wore green at home? probably throwback jersey's in 2002-03-ish? Prpich fight vs Paluso from UMD?
I like it! guys have to battle for spots each week. glad Panzarella and Jim are in. I'm not one that thinks Jim should be put in jail for last week's hit. He brings energy and size that works on that line.
Can't wait for Parks to get back too.
Agreed. Good thing Saunders had 2 years training in getting tons of rubber thrown at him each night. have to be the aggressor tonight on the forecheck, win puck battles, and establish own cycle game. Spent way too much time in our own zone the last couple of weeks. Gotta find some grit, which is weird to say since its been the fabric of every team the last 10 years. Sweep would be sweet!
