Agreed. I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance here. My view of Gwozdecky is changing.

OK, he's not a Sioux recruit, but Carolina drafted Michal Jordan. No pressure there. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?page=DraftStats...l&year=2008

Not really. The NHL is drafting guys based on the player's skills and contribution in say 7-10 years. Where he is TODAY is what determines when he comes into UND. Think Joe Finley - first rounder a while back indicating potential. The path to realizing that potential, in his case, is to stay in college well past the time other first rounders from that year are in the pros (somewhere).

Trouble is my middle name.

Uh, yeah. Pretty much.

Xactly!

Play Hard. No Quit. No Regrets. Sioux. Tradition.

Terrific. Hockey at its finest.

I just think that there's no way Eidsness can beat out a guy who had a 0.00 GAA this season.

I have no inside information, and no idea what really happened. But I can judge for myself which explanation better suits the public facts, and the Reusse version is a better fit than the Lucia version.

Smail, Doug and Taylor, Mark The best short-handed penalty killing I've seen in 30+ years of Sioux hockey. And there's been a lot of dang good penalty killers.

Reg Morelli.

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Quesada, Tony - the best-liked opposing goalie in the history of the program. (Frazee comes close.)

Adding my voice to the chorus. Thanks TJ, for your distinctive and unique addition to our beloved UND hockey tradition. Yours are big shoes to fill.

Badger Bob has probably rolled over in his grave. His Badgers were just about the toughest sob's around. The Mike Eaves Badgers are just wussies. They should just wear pink. (on average, red+white=pink anyway)

Woo!!!! Gerbe signing means the whole "North Dakota is Collecting Money So We're Sure Buffalo Signs Gerbe Fund" can be spent on other things.

You can say that again!

Chay Genoway - older brother "Behold the Power of Colby" Genoway played hockey for UND.

OK, but seriously, nobody in their right mind would leave the WCHA. And, I can't see the WCHA adding teams (borderline too many already). The most that can happen is the scheduling agreement with Bemidji so their program can stay afloat until a viable conference choice comes up ...

I heard that the WCHA traded Alaska Anchorage to Hockey East. In exchange, the WCHA gets Maine.

Maybe my ears are better than when I'm young, but I don't remember so DA## many advertisements over the PA. Not to mention doing it in the middle of a sieve chant, as happened against Denver in the 3rd period. Let's sell the home ice advantage for a few bucks, or for a 5th reminder about the Sioux Kids Club. We heard you the first 4 times. If there's one easy change I'd make to improve atmosphere, it would be to suspend PA advertisements in the 2nd half of the game, and let the band and the fans boost the home team.
