We have too many dyslexic fans!

Yes, the trifecta!

Exactly, lawyers and politicians.

Watching the gophers and all of the odd, 71, 81, & 91 numbers, was wondering at what point UND allows those numbers. With a lot of leagues, and especially Major Junior donning those numbers, I am guessing it is a matter of time.

UMass needs to jump on Minnesota early before they shake the rust off.

There were stories out there when he decommitted from Miami.

Mismash.

Pretty sure he was kidding.

Too bad our players didn’t know they were as well!

Cue the Schlossman article on how UND had a super tough schedule with Cornell on it.

So does Minnesota State require their coach to have no neck? Hastings, now Strand. Does Motzko lose again to Minnesota State, and get banished to coach there? Maybe Gorg gets into coaching.

Remember when we had the hard line to make life miserable for opposing stars?

That would be more insult to injury, Minnesota using the Fargo regional to get to the Frozen Four the last two times! Didn’t Duluth use the Fargo regional twice to get there as well? Glad we can flip the bill for other area teams to make a run.

Of course Western will lose because it will make things a little easier for Minnesota.

Were they worse than the Mitchell Miller issues? I would think that our culture would really been able to help him become a good citizen. Seriously, depending on the issues, sometimes it is better safe than sorry, especially after the black eye with the Miller fiasco. Hindsight is 20/20, but it sure worked out well for Western, as no issues and he will be gone after this year.

Yeah, don't go through the dog and pony show for appearance. At some point, people from outside won't even bother applying.

Even though I was hoping for real change, I am willing to give Jackson a chance. I do wonder though if all the players and Alumni that are throwing their support behind Jackson are willing to buck up the buyout money if things look poor a couple years down the road. And yes, I say a couple years, because I don't give someone that has been inside the program while it has deteriorated the same grace I would give a new coach.

I often think if they were constantly told to have consistent effort from start to finish of the game, and they failed to do so, I get the impression someone like Blais would make them hoof their gear to the city arena for practice to get them out of the cushy confines of the New Ralph and back to the roots of what built the program.

Not saying either are the answer, but what were Gino and David Carle’s credentials?

Too bad Zmolek isn’t a forward, we could put him with Zellers and Zakreski, and call it the “Sleeper” line. Also too bad Luke Toporowski who played for Spokane a few years ago wasn’t available to form the ZZTop line.

He did take some very undisciplined penalties, but maybe Jackson could have cracked down on that. Not going to be a make or break loss, especially if they can round up a talented replacement.

I'm with you. Was thinking of deleting the post due to the excessive lameness.

I always thought he was an Older MacDonald!

...and part of that is going to need to be results in developing players to the next level, and having a real shot at winning a Championship. If we get tangible results on both those fronts it makes it a lot easier going forward. Hopefully another part of the equation is the brand of hockey we play.

But even then, I think it was a better brand of hockey to watch. Of course winning is the most important, but at least with guys like Romaniuk, Ward, McLean, Bombardir, etc. they played an up tempo game.
