You beat me two it.
Also according to Schloss, the Sioux turned it around turkey day weekend, let go boys! Go Sioux!
As I recall they had a guy called Frattin who turned into a beast that year. This team has a lot of talent, but not that kind of power sniper IMO. Still, it is possible for them to improve to contender status. They have played some very good hockey teams this fall.

No worries, he won't be talking about it for a couple weeks now.
That gusher was a shallow well.

kind of hard to chat when we have a oil leak going on

just dirivng around making $47 an hour....
Does your wife's divorce lawyer read this site?

gfhockey wears figure skates and has a lot of compensating to do, so give him some slack.

Overall another disappointing weekend…this weekend should actually be the season low. This team is getting worse and worse each week.
They get much worse, they might get 70 shots on goal

SPARKY!!!!

Does anyone think it matter that Hak didn't play on a winning team at UND? Did he win a championship at any level as a player? Does it matter to have a winner like Eades or not?
Nope. Blais? York?
-
It was an excellent hockey game. UND played extremely well and controlled play for long stretches, something I've never seen them do against Wisconsin. The got out goalied, and UND's goalie had a stellar game herself.
There were a few occasions when skaters tried to do too much individually, but they put together a very nice game. This team is much better than last year's IMO. More players have talent, and they are not sitting back to see what the twins will do.

meanwhile the women are playing the kind of hockey we would like to see from the men. The women can play.

If his base salary is $300,000....then, the buyout for four years is $1,200,000.00. That is without bonuses. I would assume that the clause is in there, but I am also guessing that having a poor season is not a reason in the clause.
How about the clause stating that he goes if he does not pass the ss.com test?

They'll have to console themselves knowing a freakish 10 of the 62 were against the team who snapped it.
At least these teams are willing to face off.
I think what's remarkable about that streak is how a few bounces and some good goaltending can cost team a game on any given night. For them to avoid that for 62 games is just outstanding.
It will be good to see these two teams meet again with more on the line.
-
Geez, one loss by the women's program after their huge streak and you blow a gasket.
Calm down man, things will be...ok.
It's who they lost to that hurts so much, Brian. Just hurts.

Righto again chief.
Tremendous arrogance to be honest, forthcoming and up front with a potential recruit. Better to lie and promise her ice time and tell her she should ignore all her other options. Gee, I wonder if your personal acquaintance is an oh so infrequently encountered angry, bitter hockey parent because his daughter wasn't Minnesota's top priority in her class.Fargo kid seems happy enough with the recruiting methods.
Scandinavia's pride on ice.
Maybe you should actually take a gander at the UND roster at some point.Dubber!! Back from your time out?

Gfhockey is on the women's site demanding that Idalsky be fired. He has a poster of Donald Trump on his ceiling so he can . . . you get the picture.

There was a WCHA prior to 2006 however.
Of course there was, but my point was that when Wisconsin was the dominant team in the country for 4 years, they did not seem to be labeled with the kind of arrogance that was pointed out earlier in this thread.
-
Not too familiar with the WCHA women prior to Wisconsin success under Johnson I guess. See UMD and UM history prior to UW championship teams.
In a four year stretch beginning in about 2006, Wisconsin won three NC and was second in the fourth.
-
und up 3-0!!!
go get em girls!
How are you getting the game, gf?
-
Wisconsin completely dominated women's hockey for many years up until Minnesota's recent run, but they never seemed quite so evil. Maybe it was Mark Johnson's class.
-
Arguing that fans who are more patient don't care about winning a NC is a both a red herring and a gross oversimplification. We all want a banner, but to oversimplify the matter and say that Blais has won and therefore we need Blais, or the same for Sandelin, is just knee-jerk frustration. I wouldn't swap Hak for Lucia or Eaves, even they have won one or more, nor for Sandelin. But if Hak does not show he can adjust to the smaller, faster skillset the team has now (and seems to be getting next year), it might be that they have to look for that young, energetic, and innovative coach. That is a difficult task.

I'm concerned that Hak and staff might not make the most of this roster (and next year's), but no way would I take Duluth's last 10 years over UND. Not even close.
At this point, I wouldn't take Blais over Hak either.

Last time I called out the predictability of Hak's team (RW 5x5 zone entries, etc.).
This time I'm calling out the complete lack of spontaneous play. Everything is shoveled back to the D, in every zone, where they settle it down, look around and allow the opponent to set up their trap or defense in front of the net.
How about a forward actually picking up a a puck and bringing it out of the zone before the opponent can set up their trap at neutral? I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw a UND center push the puck back to Simpson, et al, in the defensive zone tonight when they had a lane to carry it out themselves.
This slow, ponderous play isn't generating offense, and it gave up a bunch of goals tonight to a team playing quick.
I think Sicota's observation explains a lot of things. The Dogs were not outhustling the Sioux to in the first period, and they did not have more jump. But they knew exactly where every pass was going, and most often the breakout pass went to a player standing still by the boards. The Dogs were all over that. The Dmen are taught to hold hold, hold, hold, PASS. Watching UMD use the middle of the ice on the breakout and watching creativity their forwards used in the neutral and O zones was a complete contrast to what our boys were attempting.
This team is not big, and it does not have a couple of studs who can power a goal in the zone. I has a lot of talent up and down the lineup and good quickness and hands. Pretty soon, players like that who are told to grind it out and wait for a mistake by the other team are going to lose heart or get so frustrated they commit bad penalties. You didn't often see Dog players going out of their way to "finish" checks--they had most interest in getting the puck and making a play. Very discouraging.
Hak has done a geat job at UND, and there are not many coaches out there who do a better job of developing players. But game coaching is a different thing, and this group needs a different scheme. Grimaldi, who has hustled his butt off, IMO, must be wondering. And with the skill level we all hope is coming in next year, I hope it is not too late to see some hockey that resembles BC more than it does Wiscconsin.
Granted, I don't know shytt about coaching the college game, but it's becoming painful to watch.
How many freshmen did UMD have on the ice?
-
No way Rodwell sees the ice next weekend
-
The only reason you say this is because we have nobody up front that can do ANYTHING.
We can't--UMD knows exactly where we will be passing to, and they are a step ahead. We, on the other hand, are reacting. Their flow uses all areas of the ice, we don't or can't
-
Actually I would like to see a lot more chips of the glass than they have been doing so far this season. Granted I am probably talking about a different kind of "chip of the glass" than the kind your are talking about here. None the less, I just wanted to mention it The 2011 team made a living off the little bank-shot passes through the neutral zone and into the zone. I would really like to see more of that this year.
I think you're right--not the best choice of words. I'm talking about their repeated attempts to chip it up to a covered winger who is stationary along the boards.

They had the greatest coach in Olympic Hockey history--a man who knew enough about college hockey to tell God himself what program to choose.
