I’m just thinking double shifts, short shifts, etc

Yeah—one. My bad

I’m thinking some coaches are better at match-up strategy than others, particularly as home team. It will be interesting to see how Jax and staff handle that Saturday. They have to figure out, first, which players would be most effective against the Plante line, then make those match-ups happen, despite Sandy’s efforts prevent that

It couldn’t be about just one line. I like Jax Attack.

Tell me if I’m completely lost: Managing the last-change advantage is probably more important against teams with one or two lines that are extremely talented and require good personnel matchups—teams like UMD which have one line that is the core of their offense. In addition to this weekend, UND could meet up with UMD two more times but would have last-change rights for all of those due to superior ranking and home team designation. in fact, the home team designation and accompanying last-change rights may be the most important part of the discussions about ranking, site locations, and matchups. ??

When are the conference final and first regional games? I know we want to do nothing but win now, but am I a disloyal weasel for thinking it might not be such a bad thing to miss the conf final, even without possible illness considerations?

Source?

Dogs fans discovered that Sandy was just a proxy for a UND fan/double agent whose name shall be kept secret for security purposes. Splendid bit of under cover work.

I assume all or most of these guys get flu shots in the fall.

Yeah, I should have seen that

Miami is not far away from being trouble for anybody

Getting out hustled. Omaha’s forecheck has our D off balance. Lot of hockey left, but they better start moving their feet or it will only get worse.

Must be, since the post speaks of the athletic department, not just the hockey program.

Getting to that point where every snake in the grass is venomous.

Sure. He is a Western Michigan player, so the refs knew he had no balls.

I apologize. That one should have had a smiley.

These are complicated times. On one hand, we want to pick up critical NPI points, and this series is a perfect opportunity to do that. On the other hand, we want nothing to do with chasing misplaced priorities and winning the Penrose. We made that mistake too many times in the recent past.

What a recruiting tool, and not because it’s an effective spin job. It’s authentic.

And if we don’t get that, we never wanted it.

They say that when it gets below freezing the iguanas fall from the trees in Florida. Must be raining Ledgies in Minny these days. 😀

There’s gotta be a ledge somewhere in the building. 😄

You don’t go into the reigning National Champions’ barn on the last weekend of the season when the conference title is at stake and come away with points—not if they’re legit champions. Western sweeps going away.

Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.

Most definitely

I mean I’m not yet enough of a swimmer to swim with the adults. Babbling.
