I don't know about Philly, but we stopped getting high end recruits when Hak left. Sigh. Those were the days. Shame on burd for stooping to an emoticon.

I just want to see the boys play well in all areas. And where don't, let them fix it moving forward. Wins are nice, but if hard lessons need to be learned which will help them in the long run, then we will see if they can handle that. They may be elite college hockey players, and some of them will make a lot of money playing this game, but they are still basically kids, and they need to learn how to learn sometimes, hopefully quicker than I did at that age.

This series is just what this team needs now, and whether they win or lose, they will learn a lot about themselves. So glad UND is in this conference, where they are tested by the best college hockey has to offer and we get to watch it.

The only way they don't get the sweep is if they don't play a full 120 minutes.

The game seems just a little too fast for Kawaguchi still. Looks like he has a pretty big upside, though.

I'm glad we get to see them play 4x a year. Fun hockey to watch.

Larkin moves really well. Weak on Bowen's goal, though.

They are fun to watch. If you win.

Miami definitely has a skating edge.

That's true, and Miami was the better skating team, IMO. Though there are a lot of factors that go into which team "seems" quicker.

I'm still in too much denial to think Gornall won't get one tonight. Just as good a chance as the gophers getting #6.

Yeah, UND missed a lot of them. Just saying it would not have taken too much for that game to have a different result.

I really like this group too, but if Miami had converted on a couple grade A chances and one or two of our scrum goals not gone in, the outcome would have been different and I think a lot of fans would be complaining about the effort. Miami is a better skating team, and our passing was not particularly good. I'm happy with the result and the effort, just saying how outcome-centric we tend to be as critics of the boys' play. Really nice to see how well Thome is playing. Bodes well for this year and looking ahead.

Miami has good team speed, but we adjusted well after the first.

Jake Brandt is getting better at color. He's always been knowledgeable but he uses fewer cliches now.

With ugly sisters.

And thank Parise Minnesota didn't want him.

nope

You should get some of your fellow fans to come here for some trash talk and hockey discussion, #MAC. We always welcome furiners.

According to the horse's azz mouth, UMinn has never missed on a recruit they really wanted. So no.

there are other criteria. For instance, any recruit who turns down an offer from UMinn has his blue chip status revoked.

Very cool that he got the hatty, but it makes this alum proud that he gave his teammate the chance for the empty netter. That's either very unselfish or very smart or both. Either way.

Doesn't Patrick post once in a while?

Dang, Yzer. You about had us sold on you having good judgment, then you admit to two degrees from UMinn?? You were so close . . .
