That would be a decent name and fun to be able to play Garryowen, but the ironic part is, while we can't be proud of Sioux culture, the NCAA wouldn't allow us to be proud of ours either. Such is the pathetic society we live in today.

Yeah, don't know if I like the kind of element growth has meant out west. Don't want more of that making its way to the Eastern part of the state.

I think that can be said of a lot of the restaurant joints people point out. Some people swear by Red Pepper, while others don't get it. I think a lot of the reviews are based on nostalgia.

The guy really needs to get some priorities. With all the rioting and such in other areas of the country, and this is what he is going to make his decision from on where to live. Wow. To me it's just as bad as the people that find a way to be offended by a nickname that has been a source of pride.

.. but both of them made a first round exit too.

... and it also allows the Grand Forks Herald, which has used the Fighting Sioux nickname controversy to continue on with the nonsense you see now, urging people to tell people their love for the nickname. Yes, the organization pushing the evils of the nickname is trying to keep the controversy alive.

Berndsen and Lecavalier have decent numbers with 9 and 7 goals respectively, but the 16 year old Amy Potomak has an incredible 45 goals. Usually numbers don't tell the whole story, but in women's hockey a difference maker like that can put you over the top. Really need to use all the advantages of our facilities and hockey atmosphere to get a few more big time players here. Competing against the bigger name schools is a little different in women's hockey though, as education seems to have the main focus.

Anyone know anything about the two new verbals, Sarah Lecavalier and Breanna Berndsen? I think they both were with the Pursuit of Excellence program. I wish that would help with Amy Potomak, but I believe her sister has already committed to Minnesota.

Same could probably be said of Gaarder, as he was heading for division 3. The fact that he's a captain suggests he could be a Panzarella type player that will do anything for the team. As we've seen, it takes a special player to sit game after game and then be ready to go, as Panzarella did many times. Perhaps that is what this guy offers, when others might be complainers behind the scenes because they came with more credentials and think they deserve time. Who knows, but the coaches seem to have a knack finding those guys who can add to the team chemistry, rather than detract.

This just in, College Hockey News to change name to College Hockey Enquirer!

Key word here is "read"!

So would he not have met requirements for the Air Force, and they directed him to someplace they knew loved character guys, or did he have a change of heart about the military requirements? Would be interesting to know if UND became interested because of possible losses, or when approached said sure we'll take a character captain with no risk, but an upside of extra depth.

Would Tristan Fairchild who visited recently be a recruit for this fall? He has a nice highlight reel on Hudl.

Christian Wolanin with 2 goals and 6 shots tonight to lead his team to the Eastern Conference finals against Hayden Shaw's Dubuque team.

Exactly, some people would love us to be the equivalent of a weasel.

I think they have to sound diplomatic because as much as UND coaches have to have a good working relationship with NHL teams, the NHL teams need to maintain a decent relationship as well because coaches with the respect of their players can sometimes have influence on player's decisions.

What is even more mind boggling is that when confronted with this mistake, he still doesn't admit he is wrong. Never been a big fan of him before, but now his arrogance appears to be reflected in his inability to correct mistakes, which in my opinion deters from any journalistic credibility.

What about Connor St. Clair? At least there you could say they confused two players names.

I think we have to wait until all the early signings wash out before we really know what the league is going to look like. Miami already lost two big pieces to graduation with Blake Coleman and Austin Czarnik, with the possibility of losing Barber. I would guess they think Kuraly is going to stay though. I'm sure a few teams have the same situation going on as UND, not knowing what's going to happen in the weeks to come.

Didn't you see Kollars Twitter post, saying how could O'Connor give up a goal like that, then said oh, wait...

Curse of Brad Schlossman. So now, not only do we have to confront the question, is it nice to be in it every year with the chance to win it sooner or later, but is the great coverage Schlossman gives us, worth the possibility that he is cursing us with his presence at the Frozen Four!?

Have they stayed on this long with post game stuff in the past? I know years ago they wouldn't stay even for the handshake!

Yeah, can't remember NDSU losing players early to the professional ranks, nor recruits at the last minute or mid season to another competitive league. Dynasty's are more likely in divisions where that doesn't happen, that's why Alabama staying near the top is fairly impressive as well.

True, but we relied on Zane quite a bit as well, and he could leave. Top that with the fact we lose 7 seniors as well, and it's all about what you get with the incoming freshmen, and that's a crapshoot.
