I'm hoping the DII Council of Presidents will give us the best chance of winning. I would think they should be very concerned with the NCAA not following their own constitution in implementing this policy. DII Council of Presidents Roster DII President's Council Oct 27 Meeting Agenda They talked about UND's nickname issue but the "supplement" is only available in hard copy, unfortunately. We won't know what they talked about.

You're sorry? Thank you for your work!!

Every goalie wants to play both nights. So does Lammy, I bet. This early in the season I think it's best to give both guys time, and then worry about solidifying a #1 later in the year. You need to keep them both sharp. My suggestion would be to play Lammy on Friday for a while. Since the team seems to play so good on Friday, give the kid a break. Put Parise in on Sat. Maybe the team plays better on Sat, or maybe Parise can help cover up a few more mistakes. I don't know. But I believe for right now it's more important to make sure both guys are on their game then it is to worry about a few points. Winning the WCHA isn't the most important thing. If sacrificing the McNaughton is what it takes to make sure your "other" goalie is ready when Parise get's run for the 17th time, I think it's worth it.

Excellent.

You don't see too many A prospects from the NAHL. Being that close to UND it should be easy to keep an eye on him.

Do you think that fairly represents an individual player when there are 6 guys on the ice for each goal? I just have to wonder.

I'd like to welcome Michael Forney to the Sioux Recruits thread. Chris VandeVelde 10 games 5-1-6 32PIMS Jake Marto 11 games 0-5-5 4PIMS Michael Forney High School Football State Tournament

I've always wondered why people rail on Warroad so much. I'm curious. Since it's so easy to do in Class A, what other teams have won 2 of the last 3 MN state high school titles? I don't have the enrollment but I know Warroad is not a very big school. They are dominating their peers. What's so bad about that. Could they move up? I suppose they could. Personally, I think it would be cool if they did. However, ripping on their accomplishments because of which class they are in just doesn't work with me. They didn't move down a class in order to dominate. They were put in their proper class. They haven't opted to move up and play bigger schools. I'm not sure why that is held against them.

I will agree with critical, I can't go as far as equally though. So he rips on mn recruits for not being defensive minded and expresses disappointment about his "own" recruits who are said to be lacking defensively. Sounds balanced to me.

Ahem....when you lived in the same dorm as Scott Sandelin, THAT dates you.

Am I the only one surprised Leinweber is playing in the AHL. Good for him, but I wouldn't have expected that.

I just mean he's equally critical.

I suggest our coaching staff knows that he will either be so great offensively that he will negate his defensive liabilities, or that they can actually teach him to be a factor in his own end. I'm not going to worry about it. Hey, you gotta give Redwing credit for consistency, though.

There, now you describe me better.

I wonder the same thing about Marto. I know from an article in the paper earlier this year his USHL coach was not to hot on the play of ANY of his defensemen. Could be that Marto could use an additional year of schooling. Then again, it's a long season and he may make big strides yet this year. I wonder, should Parise maintain his stellar play, if he isn't also a flight risk after this year. Potentially he could be in a great bargaining position as an undrafted player. That could open some space for Cheverie. I like what I've read about him. I agree we could use another hard nosed player like Darcy Zajac who has some size. Seems like he could be a great fit. He's having a very solid year in the BCHL, but he should considering his age. I'm guessing he's a guy that won't require a full scholarship scenario. I'm interested in seeing how Chay Genoway works out, like you. He's not very big for playing D, so it would seem he needs to compensate by being very effective offensively. He's got modest numbers in the BCHL right now. Will be interesting to see how he works out. I don't think his offensive numbers at forward at Shattuck were earth shattering, though they were solid. Seems kind of like a "tweener".

It's hard to conjecture due to the variables. How many players leave early, how much scholarship $ frees up, how much is needed to get the needed guys, etc.

You make a good point about winning/losing meaningful games. Certainly that has happened with Denver over the last couple of years. Certainly the Paukovich/Bina situation was like poring aviation fuel on a flame, but the rivalry was building nonetheless. I know for me, I've considered MN the far and away biggest rival since I was in school. HOWEVER, at the end of Woog's reign, and the team wasn't all that good, and the Sioux were pretty much dominant, it was great to beat the gophers, but not like when the gophers are really good. I almost wanted the gophers to get better so the intensity of the rivalry would ratchet up. That they did, and it did.

I came in to UND right after the big games with Bucky in the early 1980's. Didn't really know anything about them until much later. While I knew Bucky was a big rival, it hasn't had the same emotional impact for me MN has. And now Denver is #2, IMO. I would imagine fans who've been around longer would have a different opinion. It seems like Bucky just hasn't been that good consistently for such a long time. It's hard to have a rival that isn't that competitive.

I thought it was the Excedrin headache I have.

Can't disagree. Last week after a win and tie on the road with #13 UNH they Sioux were stuck at 6th. Yet this week at home against #10 Denver and a win and a bad loss, we move up 1? Again, a reason I don't put much stock in the polls.

I imagine someone else will confirm but I would expect they will. I believe any time the Sioux are shown on FSSN Senser's will be playing the game. I pretty much plan on it and haven't been disappointed yet. I'll be deer hunting or else I'd like to watch these games and see how the guys match up with Bucky.

At this point in the season I have no issue playing both Lammy and Parise. Lammy is a good goalie. It's early in the season and all players who earn time in practice should have a chance to feel like they are contributing. As the season goes on, points get ever more crucial, and it's time to keep the sharpest players sharp, then decide on a #1 and a #2. That's my opinion.
