You were right, though.

I think they are working. We just aren't that good.

Average is exactly what we are. Average in talent.

I'm not sure that one is on him. Looked like a seeing eye deflection. A replay would show, I guess. But the boys are chasing and watching.

Us, but Dave is right.

I think this is a hard working team, but we can watch all day and just aren't going to see much high end offensive skill. They are well coached and play hard, but that's just the way it is.

If you care at all about us, you will wake her back up.

Whew! I was thinking I can't hold my scotch any more.

Thing is, it would just take one person telling him between periods keep the wider angle. Less work for him and better for us. Poor guy is learning and probably has no idea how bad it is. We should be pretty understanding: his camera work is like our offense.

this game is great for those who want to focus on play away from the puck.

As are our fans. Do you think for a second the conversation is this elevated on miami's fan forum.

Thing is, truly bad hockey camera work is almost always the result of trying to zoom in too close. Easy to cure that. Once simple instruction.

Tim's getting on in years.

Wow. Need dramamine with this cameraman.

As do I. There were some good guys on those teams, though. Jim Cahoon, Greg Cameron . . .

About the announcers on the UNO NCHC broadcast: They were heaping praise on UND all night and did not bitch very much when penalties were called on the Mavs. I wasn't crazy about their style, but they were certainly about as objective as you could ask for. Having not seen all of Friday night, I found myself wondering whether the boys played that much better Saturday, Goals Last night certainly could have been very different with some bounces one way or another. It seems like it is always easier to be happy with the performance when we win.

I could just kill myself

Hak's teams were astoundingly consistent over the years. He was vilified because he did not win a banner. Week in and week out, year after year, his teams performed at a very high level. The progress they made in the second half of many years was not a consistency problem. In fact, I'd say his ability to meld his players into very strong teams was very consistent. This year's team does not have a great deal of talent at forward. I still think they are well coached and are a team most other teams would prefer to avoid, but they will have to be lucky to go deep IMO. One thing's for sure: they are not good enough to take undisciplined penalties. Edit: I meant to quote willy's post regarding consistency. I have my own consistency issues.

Confirmation bias also comes in the form of colored glasses. Every team sells them.

What impresses me is that the word is out on him and he is no doubt starting to get a lot of defensive attention on the ice, yet he is still scoring. It will get tougher for him, though. That's what makes players like Crosby and Ovy even more impressive.

Another early departure risk?

It's a little amusing when the torches and pitchforks come out after a loss when everyone knew this team had a modest amount of talent.

thanks, speez

where do I get streaming radio. UND Insider won't load for some reason.

this game is a bit of a snoozer
