Just good natured ribbing. I think Gardner was one of the first to greet Boeser coming out for warmups in one of his first games in Winnipeg.

Seems to me that Fargo has seen their fair share of restaurants close lately as well.

Obviously, not a very realistic prospect, but thought this article was interesting, especially under the "Weighing Options" section where it says his brother is going to Denver. Don't have an opponent recruiting thread that I saw, so he is technically still a prospective recruit, albeit very small chance. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/teen-phenom-matthew-savoie-sidney-crosby-1.4500318

No drive thru?

For some reason, Bowen has gotten a pass from scrutiny, maybe because he always seems to be working hard. Could have used that hard work on that back check when Duluth scored to go up by 2 on Friday after we gained the momentum. If I'm not mistaken, his +/- is down near the bottom as well. Need him to step it up on both ends of the rink, but I guess that can be said of everybody.

The narrative is much different after the losses at Duluth last weekend. Those were the first times we had lost the entire season when we scored 2 goals in a game. It appears to me that this board would be so much more optimistic with at least a split in Duluth. To be sure, we need to score more than we have going forward, but we also need to get back to being able to say that if we score 3 goals we will win the game almost all of the time.

No, we need more guys to produce, regardless if they are drafted or not. How many people were lamenting our drafted guys, and still are because they haven't produced like they should?

But weren't those guys a failure in your eyes because they couldn't win a Natty. Wait, that is all on Hakstol.

Casey Mittelstadt at 102nd on that list, and the BU diaper dandies aren't up top either. It's all relative if a high round guy isn't scoring or a four year guy isn't scoring. At least you know guys like Adams, Kawaguchi, will have the chance to grow before they are gone in a heartbeat.

He's going on the first round as the standard.

But wait, Michigan has a few of those players, why are they not the best team in the country. Come to think of it, they had Dylan Larkin, Jacob Trouba, Zach Werenski, and Kyle Connor too.

Tell me who is going to be a first round pick in 2 to 3 years? Remember, at one point people were talking about Mitchell Mattson as a potential first rounder, and many on this board were super excited about his verbal. People are complaining about guys that are years away, yet many of those complaining barely gave Nick Jones a second thought coming into this year.

That is the thing, we don't know what Karki did. I've got to believe it is more than just drinking or something of the sort, otherwise you would think he would have been committed elsewhere in a hurry. If we know one thing from U.S. Women's gymnastics, some of these programs like to keep stuff in house, even if it shouldn't be. That said, I don't want to make it sound like he did something equivalent, because I obviously have no idea.

We gave up basically one goal last weekend that wasn't a power play or empty net goal, so they need to get back to the penalty killing they had early in the year and take fewer penalties, and take advantage of a power play ourselves every once in a while.

This should be of some concern to the Athletic Department, because it shows at least a small degree of apathy that is prevalent in many college hockey venues, and college sports as a whole. It isn’t that far removed from those out of towners that can’t make it every weekend deciding whether not breaking even on tickets is worth the season ticket expense, especially when cheap tickets are available on the secondary market.

And they will be!

So I assume I won’t see you speculating on any pairwise scenarios before the season ends.

If the season ended today we would be playing them in the first round. Better get the special teams figured out, and quick.

Most Blue Chippers are committed their sophomore year in high school or sooner. The team has problems to be sure right now, but I would say you have bigger problems to worry about in life!

Until he doesn't do what the "experts" want him to do!!

Less than a year before everyone calls for his head because he didn’t fire a coach!

Even if Stick is a caretaker quarterback, he is a winner, because that is what they ask him to do. Who knows how good he could be if he needed to open it up all the time. People kept talking about Joe Mollberg’s talent, but look how far that took him, as the turnovers kept him from reaching his potential. Stick did what he had to do for the Bison to win, which makes him a winner in my eyes. UND actually needs more guys like that, instead of guys that try to be the hero when it isn’t warranted.

Hey, I would love to have the women's hockey program around still because I went to games occasionally, but I don't want it around because of the expense it created. What they started out paying Brian Idalski was ridiculous, considering what other coaches were being paid.

You beat me to it. The hypocrisy is staggering. Seems like they just all spew the Schlossman talking points.

Exactly, to whom much is given, much is expected. Mismash was fairly invisible against St. Cloud and Omaha, and three games is too much to not at least be fairly noticeable. Can’t say I remember how Adams played against St. Cloud, but he has the talent to be more of a consistent threat as well. Sure, everybody was bad, but some have the skill to be much better.
