Well, if playing our best hockey at year's end results in better NPI and some hardware on the side, I'm all for it. Ultimately there's only one trophy the team wants at the end of the year and you need to get to Vegas to make that happen. Vegas baby!
I apologize. That one should have had a smiley.

I like our chances as long as @MafiaMan is not in the building. Sioux don't have a great record in the state of Michigan when Mafia is in attendance.
These are complicated times. On one hand, we want to pick up critical NPI points, and this series is a perfect opportunity to do that. On the other hand, we want nothing to do with chasing misplaced priorities and winning the Penrose. We made that mistake too many times in the recent past.

Great TTD episode that recaps senior night as well.

What a recruiting tool, and not because it’s an effective spin job. It’s authentic.

Box/suite should be named after gfhockey and the GOBC. Nothing happens without their say so.
And if we don’t get that, we never wanted it.

I haven’t sold any vip wristbands yet, but making a killing at ASU and Minnesota 🤣
They say that when it gets below freezing the iguanas fall from the trees in Florida. Must be raining Ledgies in Minny these days. 😀

There’s gotta be a ledge somewhere in the building. 😄

You don’t go into the reigning National Champions’ barn on the last weekend of the season when the conference title is at stake and come away with points—not if they’re legit champions. Western sweeps going away.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.

Often after rereading a post I’ve already written, I feel like I’m coming up for a gulp of air and realize I’ve been in the kiddie pool all along. That ever happen to you guys?

The thing this team has not quite figured out is passing in the difficult areas like break-out and neutral zone transition. They seem to be passing to fixed targets too often, which is easier to defend. I get that those are problematic for most teams, but this team has more talent than most. I wonder if some coaches like Carle are just better teachers of that aspect. I wouldn’t trade Jax and staff at this point, though.

IMO, there’s nothing at all wrong with needing to win at Western next weekend. It’s nut-cuttin’ time, and if they can’t avoid getting swept in Kazoo they aren’t ready to win in the NCAAs.

Hats off to Cloud. They came to play. Can we lease Gross for the playoffs—just on faceoffs?

The forum is acting as lethargic as the teams play in the 2nd period last night.
Would have responded to this post earlier but was late getting to it.

A lot of gliding into puck battles. SCSU moving their feet at all times.

James and the dudes:
Is there a certain quality one must have to be considered a dude, even in hockey? Dudeness? A Big Lebowski thing?

I was pretty young then, and I just thought that the ‘87 team was a normal Sioux hockey team. Dominate everyone, 100-point scorers, NHL-caliber goalie, brilliant coach, national championship? I guess that’s just how we do things in Grand Forks. Little did I know that that team was exceptional even by UND’s high standards. We were spoiled.
We were. Being old doesn’t make one wiser—certainly not smarter. But having been an adult Sioux fan over a period of time spanning 6 different head coaches does give a person perspective.

I don’t recall who covered college hockey at the Pioneer Press at that time, but I remember him writing in the lead-up to the FF that he couldn’t see anyone beating the Sioux, whether they got a lucky goal or two or not. Found a small bar in Onalaska, WI that carried the game. You’d think Badger fans would have been pulling for MSU, but that wasn’t the case. Being a fan from afar was very different in those pre-internet days. Newspaper sports sections were important.

So they would supplant Denver at 8? Doesn’t Denver have something to say about that?
You think east coast bias is something only humans have?

For seniors, we've been fortunate to get to see James and Strinden for four years in the green&white. And both of them have really stepped it up this year...career years already...both of them already surpassing their career highs in goals & points. We'll miss those boys next year.
Big time. There’s a lot of very important hockey yet to be played, but starting with his commitment to stay last summer, James could be this team’s mvp. I know nothing of locker room leadership stuff, but he appears to have been an on-ice leader all season long.

I have heard UND is in good standing with a specific player if he decides to leave his CHL team after this season. Nothing is imminent but there is mutual interest.
Define “in good standing.”

Sure. He is a Western Michigan player, so the refs knew he had no balls.
