I think the atmosphere in Scheels Arena is going to be incredible. With all the standing room areas, people are going to really be into the game, and with all the fans packed into a smaller arena, it is going to be loud. Hopefully that atmosphere translates to the adrenaline on the ice.

Would think Taylor Ward is a realistic target.

I'm with the person who said there is no shame in missing something in a fast paced game, as I regularly see things one way then see replay and notice that I was missing an aspect to the play. The key is getting an important aspect such as a goal right on replay. That is what irritates people. I would recommend reviewing major penalties as well, but I'm not confident they would get that right either.

Would there be the same comments about Pete Carroll if that last play works in the Super Bowl? Yes, there are circumstances when UND still could have taken care of business, but it doesn't excuse the horrendous calls. It is just easier not to get so bent out of shape about it when it doesn't cost you the game.

As it stands now, I believe we have the tiebreaker against Omaha, and if we split with Miami we would have more wins than them should the 4 games before that come out even. Our winning percentage is better right now than both, but that obviously can change.

I guess when you say clipping, I understand it in the context of cheap shots, but I also enjoy the lost art of the Curtis Murphy, Glen Klotz hip check, which many times turns players head over heels. It isn't easy to get below the knees and stay on your skates. Now if you submarine someone with the sole intention of taking out their knees, it should be a major and game automatically.

I'm of the opinion that if you're going to take the time to review it, at least go in with an open mind as to what you see on the review.

But the rule changed this year, so it stays inside the zone. They don't want to punish teams for attacking.

Exact hit except Seguin had the puck and a split second got rid of it before the hit. Caggiula wasn't close to having the puck.

Since it is against CC and not one of the leading pack, I agree!?. But since that would basically admit they screwed up big time, it won't happen.

Somebody should request from the league office how Don Adam graded his officials this weekend. I personally would like to know.

I will add another. Mark Mac got cross checked across then neck early in the 3rd when it was still 3-1, but since they officiate by the scoreboard there was no call. Again, player safety my...

Really? Pretty sure it was a joke.

Assuming this person knew what was going on and his attention wasn't focused elsewhere, I agree. I am certain he has already been embarrassed to the point he won't want to show his face because of all the negative attention. I don't want to become pitchfork nation as Dan Barreiro would describe it, because if we want to take classless even further, we can boot a lot of the student section on any given night for chants. The students even booed when they announced Jim Montgomery as coach, but it is o.k. because they didn't know his dad died. If he was drunk does he get a pass like many people do when they are obnoxious beyond belief and some think it is hilarious. Classless behavior obviously has different levels, but who is going to be the judge of that. Hope nobody decides wearing the Sioux logo meets that standard. Not trying to excuse this jerk, because frankly there isn't any excuse, but that can be said of a lot of behavior and how people are treated.

Maybe if he wasn't so cocky about his belief that Boeser would choose Minnesota, people wouldn't take such glee in him being wrong. That said, we have lost many high end guys to Minnesota, and we seem to always do well. Perhaps Minnesota could use a few more guys that have to work hard in order to crack the lineup. Sometimes when you think you can rely on talent alone, you think things are going to be handed to you. Hakstol said that when the guys came to the realization that is how they had to play night in and night out to win, that is when they started having success. Sometimes it takes a while to learn that lesson, like our Senior class this year did a while ago. Hopefully the guys that remain can impart that to the rookies next year, because if you have a bad start to a season, the catching up can really wear on you.

Did he ever make that visit to UMD?

... And we get the same old refrain from GPL, "Grand Forks sucks". What does it say when someone from the Cities doesn't want to stay and play there? Guess he wants to play in a hockey city.

True, as we've seen, top end talent doesn't guarantee you anything, but I think anybody would be excited to get a possible first round pick that will most likely be here a couple years.

Schlossman also tweeted that Gersich, Boeser and Wilkie are 1, 2, and 5 in goals per game in the USHL. We will need them all to chip in to make up for the experience we lose.

He was trying to accelerate his schooling from what I heard. Schlossman isn't sure if he'll get that done or not. If he isn't doing that then he will go Major Junior.

Nice. Now they can let Yon develop more if they so choose. Wouldn't mind letting another player develop too if we could land Matthews. Saw Wilkie had a tweet that just said yyess!

Mollberg couldn't hit a wide open receiver early in the year either. Just look at the threads on people wondering why Bartels wasn't put in. And both those guys had the expectation that they would be playing. Studsrud was thrown into a situation and basically fed to the wolves, so I am with the philosophy to see how he does in spring ball.

I see former UND recruit Brendan Lemieux is also part of the trade.

Yeah, people don't deserve second chances. You should have been off this board a long time ago. Why the administrators saw fit to give you a second chance is beyond me. Given the second chance, you still rehash the same tired refrain.

... and you have the job of translator. It doesn't pay well, but it will indeed make you laugh.
