doubt my linking abilities will work, but watch for the crowd shot.
That first goal should be a lesson to kids why they dig their azz to the net when the Dman is about to shoot the puck. JT dishes to the D, then immediately fights to get to the goal before the puck is even shot. He hustles just a little less and there's no goal.

Spot on. I'd rather be big man on campus playing in front of large crowds vs riding a bus and playing in front of smaller crowds.
You have to remember, though, that these guys have been playing the step-up game since they were in pee wees. They've had to leave teams and schoolmates many times to further their dream to play for money--sometimes against the odds--and their moves have all been successful up to this point. I'm sure they all love their life at the Ralph playing the game and hanging out with teammates, but for some of them the school side of it is probably something they would rather do without.
And we can't expect them to be as old and wise as we all are.
But boy, what a great bunch of young men this team has. Win, lose, or draw, it's been such a pleasure this year.

You snort a line with Deano you are in for some fun times, let me tell you.

I may be stating the obvious to some here, but do people not realize that gfhockey's sole purpose here is to get under people's skin & derail threads? Yet people still engage him in this cat & mouse, back-&-forth talk like they're going to get somewhere with him, year after year after year. And it's usually the same people who keep trying to put him in his place & talk sense to him. Played! I know I'm pouring fuel on the situation as he thrives on attention & I won't address it anymore, but I thought it funny how some guy is able to toy & tick people off around here like a maestro; using otherwise very smart people like a tool. Which he enjoys doing immensely, obviously; his schtick is to come off as a dumb one, but he's clearly getting the last laugh on each one who replies to his posts. Anyway, it's funny to read, it's like he serves as a subconscious release valve & bull's-eye for Sioux fan's latent angst....Personally, I find him funny & refreshing to read sometimes; yet find it hilarious how he plays with people's heads all the time. If he can get away with it & people still bite at this posts, no need for him to stop.
Longest post I've ever seen gfhockey get out of anyone.

gfhockey is taking night classes at UND to improve his writing
-
I will start the one vs bu but will not be giving Und the advantage vs uno
I want a heads up game. Coach vs coach. Team vs team.
If you don't want a nattie for UND, that's on you.

Pretty hard for college programs to complain about the pros preying on college age kids when colleges are recruiting kids who are still teething.
That said, I agree a lot of kids are making a mistake by leaving early.

I just wish Minnesota had wanted him.

Yes it would, big time. At the same time, however, every fan on this forum knows what Dean Blais is capable of. And he's on that other bench now. And you better believe I will fear him if it's UND and Omaha on Saturday night.
If they do meet, I hope Hak and the team aren't as weak-kneed about Blais as you are.

This team strikes me as very mature, exemplified by Pattyn. They are all talented at that level but our team does have a bunch of guys who need to understand their roles and work very hard in order to succeed. That' partly why it's been interesting to see how N & J S jell with the team. They sometimes seem a little aloof, but they just appear to be quiet kids. I'm sure you guys closer to home know about the team dynamics.

The Panthers must have needed a person to hand out towels in the locker room.
I enjoy hearing folks give Rau sh!t, but you know, I'd have liked to have that guy on my college team.
-
It's true; we were struggling to win faceoffs, especially on the pk. They've obviously been working on it.

I'm one who questioned whether they could "hit reset" after the conference tourney in which they "Sucked" (again, Hak said that per ESPN). Well, not only did they reset just fine, they even fought through several guys having the flu, according to stories today. Apparently, Pattyn was on IV fluids before the game.
Great comeback. 7th Frozen Four in 11 years under Hak. Could this finally be the year?
I know we all want to win the final game for once, but 7 FFs in 11 years? Amazing.
This year is no different in that it will take some breaks to win out. But this team has one quality that increases the chances, IMO--they are a hard team to beat. There's a stubbornness about them. They haven't been mowing the opposition down this year, but they are just hard to put away. A dam fine quality in any line of work.

Spend your time thinking how to hit Eichel or any fast, skilled player and you will probably find yourself sitting in the box watching him score. The Sioux have shown good restraint this year, mostly, and I hope they keep that up. This time of year a dumb penalty could cost a banner.
Though I agree with 357 that Eichel and his sisters need to understand the boards and corners will not be a comfortable place to hang out.

A lot of fans quit on this team last week, but they showed again that they never quit on themselves. What a bunch.
Whether they will be able to contain BU is a question to be answered, but they have really proved their character once again.
-
Never count this group out. Something a LOT of posters did all week and every other chance they had after a loss.
-
They appeared to play energetically that period & were all standing on the bench when not on the ice....
That's good to hear. Amazing what good meds can do if you have the guts to begin with.
-
Plus, SCSU played about 3.5 periods yesterday & aren't as deep as UND...
Depends on how much flu is on the ice for the Sioux
-
Not much buzz in arena tonite compared to last nite
Wtf
Maybe you just can't hear it over your own buzz.
-
Flu in the locker room is not good, but if I had to pick a Sioux team to gut it through sickness and injury, it's this bunch.

Do you see coded spy messages in the GF Herald?
-
Quinnipiac is going to let you skate the puck in on the power play, stop dumping it in.
Hennessey is saying the opposite--that they are lining up at the blue line forcing a dump. Not that he is always right.

Someone please tell Ole to stop the "yup" 'yeah" "yup' while Tim is calling the game.

I gotta hear what a "PC-oriented player" is.
