  1. Cam has been great for us over the last 2 years, but injury or the possibility of it is precisely why Hrynkiw or Tomek should have been getting some starts. My opinion, but I have to admit I trust our coaches' opinions a lot more.
  2. I know CC has not played well most weekends, but what is the best part of their game. In the past, you could always expect some explosiveness from their offense.
  3. Can't believe the amount of space they gave Nick on that one.
  4. Was Matt Jones a high draft pick? Quietly one of the best pure defensemen we've had in "recent" years.
  5. Even with Jost, the Hawks are not a sure thing against anybody. Just have to hope for the best this weekend and get Jost healthy. They will not go deep without him. They may not even get in without him. All that said, I'm glad we have the coaches we do.
  6. Yours too?
  7. B1G regular season trophies end up in the equipment manager's garage along with other things which have no value but probably should not be put in the trash, like used motor oil and broken blenders.
  8. I think most UND fans think we are just not that good at this point and that the goal, which is not a sure thing, is to get into the tournament. We lost to much to be a favorite to win another banner. Sometimes being the underdog is OK.
  9. Since Dave is so desperate for attention, we should conduct a survey or poll to determine why. I'd go with harsh toilet training coupled with some kind of abandonment syndrome. The abandonment syndrome might explain the need for attention, and the harsh toilet training would explain the whole gopher thing. A middle school counselor would be very familiar with Dave's behaviors.
  10. Agreed. My comments were more along the lines of "one drooling moron to another."
  11. And Minnie could not sweep #27 Wisconsin? Pitiful. But then, the gophs always promise a lot and choke when they have to beat the good teams in April. Huge school, lots of in-state talent to choose from, and they just don't seem to be able to figure it out. Between them and Michigan, which has been irrelevant since Hula Hoops, the B1G is just there to take money from sucker fans who don't know boarding from roughing the passer.
  12. Suter definitely. Quietly MVP material.
  13. They didn't test for drugs, I'll wager.
  14. Depends on who else I have around them, but Stetcher before Forbort.
  15. Their goaltending that weekend was the worst I've seen in a while.
  16. I'm stocking up on Dramamine in case the floating tiger heads return.
  17. In the 50s, when the pucks were Mason fruit jar lids, Michigan won year after year.
  18. Yeah, with last year, I'd agree. Despite our title drought, it's been an amazing run.
  19. It is a good post. Using BC as a comparison model is not very useful, since they have pretty much been at a level all by themselves since they lost the NC to us in '00.
  20. I'm still trying to figure out why the B1G's SOS is so weak. I mean, I know they play each other more than anyone else but . . . wait . . . .
  21. Get up off the floor and quit crying.
  22. Going by pairwise, you gotta say UND. Probably the same answer using other metrics. Now, if you ask who would stand the best chance of getting to the FF if they make the tourney, you might say UND has a better chance.
  23. CC should not be seen as a softie. A win and a tie AT Duluth, two ties at Miami, and two 3-1 loses in home and away with Denver. They are not last year's team.
  24. Here's another very good way of looking at the strengths of conferences. The following is the current KRACH SOS ranking: 1. Duluth 2. North Dakota 3. Denver 4. Miami 5. SCSU 6. CC 7. Western Michigan 8. Providence 9. BU 10. Vermont The reason for that total dominance is pretty obvious. Can't imagine why the B1G is a no-show.
  25. I'm sure Dogs fans feel that way, but things happen in the NCAAs, as we all know. That is why we fans have to learn to enjoy great college hockey when we get it in our own rink, whether we get a banner out of it or not. In fact, we should also be ready to enjoy great college hockey when it comes to our rink. Time is too short not to enjoy this game, and when we get too bent out of shape when we don't get what we want, we lose something that is very good.
