Because that floozy Denver played fast and loose and caught his eye.

The passing on the defensive side of the ice last night was a real head-shaker (this late in the season). UNO does a good job hounding the puck, but a lot of turnovers were unforced errors. It's not just the D-men. When this season began, it looked like passing might be a strong suit, but that, combined with soft goaltending, has been a glaring weakness.

With last night’s win I can just taste #9.

DeRidder has done a much better job of gobbling up pucks lately.

Too many on this team tend to coast to loose pucks.

UNO playing like a very well coached team. They cover so well, not giving up a lot of time and space.

And, as always, call your mother. Text her?

Immature

I recall a recent series in Omaha when he was unimpressive--last year possibly. Unimpressive with attitude.

Are there such things as x-rated goals and sports drinks? I'd probably be interested. edit: For a friend.

I don’t know what xG means

What about the FFS level UND often plays at?

Yeah, but if they REALLY sweep them this weekend and then REALLY sweep the following weekend? We're UND, fcs.

Wear do they play this weekend?

I should clarirfy--or qualilfy--that post. You are a committed and long-time Sioux hockey fan, which is a very good thing. You have a sense of humor, which is always appreciated, especially during frustrating times. I often seem sarcastic about things you post, but I'll readily concede that you know more about the Sioux hockey program than i do, so take anything I say with a big grain of salt. Which I'm sure you do without my encouragement.

What are “the old days,” exactly? All of the 70s? The years from ‘88 to ‘96? ALL of the Hakstol years when they nearly always made the tourney but many, including you, continually called for his dismissal because he couldn’t win the last game?

Now that's a mitey good solution.

That's not even very bright as a rhetorical question.

Exactly like that. Being able to worry about that dang light helps me forget I will soon die a cold, dark death

After posting that, I googled Greg, thinking I remembered he'd passed fairly recently. I learned (again, probably) the circumstances of his death, and it was very saddening, as I recall him as a fine young man during his time at UND. Puts things in perspective about this game and about life.

I'm more concerned about the NCAA regional. Tired of being in the Region of Death.

Gotta be drugs.

He was--and a class act.

Fair point. I've also been an adult Sioux hockey fan since 1970 and have seen a lot of bad teams. As far as unmet expectations, a lot of fans will remember those teams around '89-92--the Greg Johnson years. They had some awesome offensive talent during that time (Johnson, D. Ward, R. Romaniuk, N. Eisenhut, et al.) and were rated #1 early in one of those years. Still, they just never produced (that I recall). Goaltending? Overall bad defense? Gino gone stale and ready for pasture? Just the wrong combination of talent? Some of the GF posters here will have a better idea than I, but I've thought about those teams from time to time this year.

He played very well. Been strong lately. Which is good, cause he's gonna see beaucoup pucks in St. Cloud.
