Love a dual threat quarterback in college, especially one who can read exactly when to pull the ball on read options. Just so much more difficult to defend and game plan.

Yeah, don't see St. Louis taking a chance at losing him to free agency.

A guy can dream and hope someone get's pushed back to make room for a Matthews or a Boeser, or both.

They could be a lot better by the end of the year, as they have some young talent that is high end. I guess we will see. Don't feel too sorry for York that Sonny Milano was a no-show.

I assume the nickname Supersonics has some kind of copyright to it, but with the Aerospace department at UND I am wondering if you could use the term Sonic as an adjective to something else Aerospace related and come up with a cool logo. Not only that, but we could have a Drive-in chain as a sponsor.

When I saw the gophers and BC, I thought that there had to be some people in his ear since both said they wouldn't hold to the gentleman's agreement. Don't know if that is the case or not. Was Wisconsin holding to the gentleman's agreement? If they are, they might change their mind in a hurry.

What do you mean?

You wouldn't think so, because how could Alabama pay anywhere in the ballpark of Nick Saban's salary, and why would another coach deserve that kind of pay.

Agreed, it is going to be very tough this weekend. Sioux can't afford to get complacent, and hopefully they remember that horrible game against Miami at the Frozen Faceoff. The fact that they end the season having to travel to Miami, I really hope they can get at least a win and a tie to have a little cushion in a very tight league before we get to the end.

Hopefully Notre Dame still makes the tourney and if Minnesota doesn't have to play us in Fargo, they have to get through Notre Dame at their home rink.

Yet, there are many on this board that would rather win that one Natonal Championship and be irrelevant for years at a time. Can't wait until Hakstol wins an NCAA title and see how many stick to that premise.

Yeah, getting out of that stretch at 4-2 or better would set them up well for the rest of the schedule.

I think it is time to boycott KVLY, as it only mentions UND hockey as an end of broadcast score, while taking a whole segment for Bison football. Others have said they mention other Big Sky scores except UND's at halftime of games. Appears to me that they think if they don't cover Sioux hockey the popularity will suffer. Well you lost one viewer for such stupidity.

... and UND swept CC on the road fairly easy, who in turn swept Huntsville. Anyone can come up with some argument by comparing scores, so unless you actually play head to head, you never know how good you are, and even then it's when you play someone. Usually playing UND early in the year is more beneficial than playing them later, and then you also have injury factors.

Are you talking about a highly ranked St. Cloud team? I would say St. Cloud is a lot better than Bemidji State, and UND hasn't exactly lit up St. Cloud recently. We have a common opponent and they swept, while we split. I would rather they keep that early season bullseye.

Agree. He has flashes of using his speed and stick handling, but looks a little anxious at times trying to finish with a shot or a pass. Reminds me of O'Donnell on the Kristo, Knight line. Hopefully he finds a comfort level somewhere. I'm really good with St. Clair getting back in the lineup too, but like you said they'll probably need both players next year when there will be that same adjustment level for the freshmen and some may take a while. Excited on how good our lineup can be this year when Poganski, Olson and Simonson get more comfortable and confident at what they can do at this level.

I guess I might be in the minority here, but I'm not willing to give up on players as fast as some. Guys like Jeff McClean and Kevin McKinnon started out barely noticeable and came back being major players. Chyzyk's first year wasn't great either, including off ice. Guess there always has to be that player fans love to hate. I like St.Clair in the lineup as well, but think Murphy might have a bigger offensive upside.

Someone should ask Hakstol, but it seemed weird that they didn't call contact to the head, elbow or charging instead of roughing, because it makes it seem like they thought it was a good check but just too dang hard. I don't want refs determining if a clean check is too hard! Unless they just didn't announce it was roughing, "contact to the head".

Really? Then why didn't he get a five?

I see both Jost and Fabbro have been out of the Penticton lineup the last 2 games, anybody hear why? Some kind of tryout camp or international tourney or something? Perhaps college visits? Seem to have done well without them, 21 goals in two games.

How great would it be to have Nick Schmaltz setting up Auston Matthews next year. I think that set-up would go a long way in moving Matthews to the top of the 2016 draft, nevermind the puck-moving defensemen that could do the same.

... and the fact that we were only told we could get them online is a joke.

But Schlossman said they had the best non-conference record of any league going into the weekend, and considering how bad they were last year, and the first weekend this year, I'll take that.

I assume he is fine, as he was in warmups but they just used Murphy and Poganski.

Actually they haven't this year, but the rest of our non-conference opponents for this year have been brutal so far this season.
