    I don’t believe we ever recruited the older brother, now a Maine commit. And I don’t believe they are overly tight with the program now from what I gather. But they are directly related to the MacKinnons that played at UND a long time ago.

    Teammate of Greg Johnson?

    It’s fun. This team has struggled out of the gate at times. That has cost them games. Fair criticism doesn’t make you a ledgie. Calling for Dave’s job or benching Homer, because the defense can’t defend, would be ledgie behavior.

    A Ledgie, by any other name, would sound as sad.

    Can’t believe there were a few ledgies that popped their head up in the 1st period of an exhibition game. We sat a ton of guys and yes weren’t super sharp early but chill guys, consider the context

    Ledgies need to be up there to feel whole and will head to the elevators on moments notice.

    I think we should settle on being mediocre. Need to tell Bryn to quit getting all these good recruits.

    Totally agree.  Big time recruits raise expectations that nearly always end in disappointment.   With so little in my life that is fun, I gotta be careful about shattered expectations.   Give me competent mediocre.   Funeral potatoes.   Comfort food.   

  5. OK, I better come out on this.  Polls mean just about everything to me.  Just like natties, good ratings raise UND hockey in the estimation of others, bringing prestige, admiration, and bragging rights.  My personal life is sadly lacking those things, so I am forced to experience them vicariously through UND hockey.   As long as the Hawks muck around outside the top 5 or 6, I got nothin’.  Don’t send money.  Lots of rich people are hockey losers.  And if you’re a hockey loser, you might just as well cheer for Omaha.

    Kid is becoming a force

    He is.   Gotta have some snipers.  Teams must have had fits defending against both Blake and Gaber when they were on the ice together—or even apart.  Especially when they had teammates who could dish.

    Think they were shaking it up around the covid year if I remember correctly 

    Since he kind of took ownership of the name, Hammer has the creds to issue a statement on the subject.

    Saluting after a win is fine, live for the moment and make every game memorable. Saluting after a loss is definitely not something a blue blood does.

    I just think Ledgies shouldn’t be allowed to use the elevator more than 2 times per weekend.    If they wanna be up and down as the breeze changes, fine; let them use the stairs.

    This.....

    A sweep should be the expectation every weekend at Home.  Anything less than that should be a disappointment.

     

    These are predictions, not measures of what we fans should be allowed to expect.   A chance to take the glasses off for a brief time.   I’d like to expect even the most committed fans to be objective at times, but I won’t always predict it.

    Unfortunately, my nephew played there. I think it's a good thing to hate the Pioneers. 

    Must have been proud, though, Goon.    He was, and is, a hell of a hockey player.

  11. Back in the day, I used to cheer a full 60.  Then I started to cheer about 50 and sort of space out for 10.    Now, I might cheer for 25, space out for 10, and biatch for 25.   I worry a lot and have performance issues of all kinds.  A sweep would have helped.   If we don’t get the split, I just don’t know— maybe switch to Duluth.
