Yeah, I read those too. I find it hard to believe they didn't have anything in the print edition that at least gave a synopsis of where the game was at when it went to print.

Pinto with a goal and assist today. Ethan Bowen with 3 goals the last two games, while Blaisdell with a goal and two assists in those 2 games.

The defense really came through tonight, but you don’t normally come out on top against a top team if you go a quarter and a half without moving the ball. Glad they had the cushion, but it isn’t a requirement to run on second down when you have an incomplete pass on first down. Glad they finally took a few shots down field.

How so?

Shane Pinto with 4 assists in a 6-2 Lincoln win tonight.

Per Schlossman, Minnesota is talking to former player Chris McAlpine as a possible Assistant coach replacement for Scott Bell. Well, at least this time they can pay him above board instead of leaving money for him in a pre disclosed location.

It would be like going back to a girl who dumped you for someone else, then when she gets dumped, all of a sudden you are back in the picture. No thanks!

Brad's twitter shows a proposal that RPI would be tweaked to give a team that gets to overtime partial credit for a loss. It would be a 90/10 split for winner and loser. I personally don't like because if you lose you lose, but it looks to be going toward the NHL path of getting credit for getting to overtime. Sadly, just like the delayed offside rule, UND once again is one year too late to take advantage of a rule like that, as with all the ties we had last year, we surely would have made the NCAA tournament.

Do you mean the CC vs. UND series?

Trying to do too much would be my fear for Ketteringham as well, especially against good competition and in close games. If our defense plays the way we hope, that might be a problem, if they don’t he may need to fit it into tight windows.

Gotta tell ya, NDSU isn’t exactly a cure for arrogance.

I agree, they looked better in the second half, but it is hard to know how they would fare against a team that doesn’t continually beat themselves after they get in scoring position. How many motion penalties did #78 have, five or six? Lot of our guys hadn’t played in game conditions in a year, so hopefully they have steady improvement. Since they didn’t know what to expect from MVS, I think they played less aggressive in the first half. They were playing off the receivers quite a bit early, then got more aggressive after half.

Well at least he gave us a preemptive warning, as if he needed to do that for us to know that he would be ripping on people for taking away positives. I am sure the coaches are hinged on every one of his ultimatums.

That can work both ways. If you get a lot of ice time, you have more chance to score if you are talented. Also, guys like Jackson Keane might not see as much ice time because there is so much talent on Penticton. Is Rizzo's draft year next year as well? Blaisdell must have a lot of talent if he is mentioned and Rizzo isn't, if that is the case.

If Blaisdell is drafted high that most certainly would be a no brainer bringing him in, but that will probably be contingent on taking a step forward in production now that he is a little older. It will be interesting to see how many points he puts up this year compared to Rizzo.

Stratton will be here but won't be eligible, and I would guess Caulfield and Blaisdell may wait another year. Would guess it is more certain that Costello will wait another year.

This said he was injured in the playoffs. http://www.inforum.com/sports/hockey/4475776-former-moorhead-standout-randklev-has-lived-ups-and-downs-hockey-last-year

There are a lot of things you classify as unacceptable, but apparently the hockey world finds it acceptable, so you're going to have to deal with it. I hope I don't look back and see you commenting on Christian Wolanin's slap shot shootout winner.

Thought you weren't suggesting it. Sure sounds like it to me. Gotta love that designated hitter gimmick though!

Come on here and tell me I told you so when it does.

Because like the NHL, you can't play until the cows come home in every game in the regular season or you won't have any players left for the playoffs. It may be a gimmick but most of us don't mind because the equivalent of kissing your sister, a tie, isn't that appealing to the majority.

Yeah, and here I thought all the problems of the football program were due to the evil hockey program.

I think that is correct.

Yes, this is Sioux sports, but it is a non collegiate sport, and the thread name should allow you to not partake if you don't want to. I'm not big into soccer, but some people are so I just don't open that thread.
