I'd have to watch again, as I thought Q played aggressive hockey in all zones. Those guys kept their feet moving and played their positions. I wouldn't say they slowed it down, but you do have cred with me.

Only thing worse would to be Duluth this weekend. Is Sandy thinking of quitting?

UND has a few players with more talent, but Q just appears to be a better team right now. Might be very different come Feb/March

I know everyone here hates RP for his personality and tactics, but Q is a well coached team.

I wonder if anyone else thinks watching this team is a little like watching the Panzer Bros. teams.

And I think some people just need too much out of a game that is played by other people. It gives them more anxiety than anything, which is a pity, since hockey is a wonderful game and a pleasure to watch, especially college hockey. Almost as good as watching a bunch of 5-year-olds chase the puck around the ice.

But a number of those were great shots.

Give gf a break. Things aren't going well for the Hawks, which he loves, but Sandy is being completely outcoached 5-0, which brings on all those harsh toilet training issues he has to deal with.

I'd say we've got em right where we want em: overconfident as hel.

Gopher moms will be serving pancakes and juice in the warming room.

Very true. They will learn at least a couple of things: First, the time and space will diminish considerably (though HC had a good forecheck). Second, they will pay a price for loose play, both in their defensive zone and in the O zone, where passes that might have worked in high school or USHL could lead to an odd man rush the other way.

Holy Cross has nothing to be ashamed about. They work hard and have a strong forecheck. Just a lower skill level overall. But they bottled us up for stretches of time, and our defense is not chopped liver. (jeez, do people even say that anymore?)

Most of us seem to agree about Gaber. Thing is, he seems to be the consummate team player, just trying to do too much. As the other skilled forwards continue to improve, Gaber will feel less personally responsible for generating scoring opportunities.

Tonight could be a much closer game. HC carried play a fair amount of time after the first period. They work hard at taking away space; their talent level is just quite a bit short of UNDs

nchc streaming this one?

Might take some pressure off Gaber to try to do too much. That's not really a criticism of Gaber; he has come out with huge energy this year.

Dad definitely had an edge. To be fair to Jackson, though, he is not his father and shouldn't have to try to be. Maybe he's better.

There are whispers out there that gfhockey hosts a black site for UMD fans. Their big thing is sending out "grindah remindahs" to UND fans on various social media sites.

Is that an option?

We agree, but even though players from those schools will be faster and older than Bison players (I think), guys who grew up playing hockey north of the border probably did so in a culture that believed if you got your bell rung, no matter how loud, because you had your head down, it's all on you. It's not that way so much in college hockey nowadays.

And that was Manitoba. But he will deal some pucks. Just a little like Grimaldi, his linemates better be ready. Hopefully, he has his dad's grit.

We have some possession players this year--at least against this caliber talent. Blake will make some pretty plays.

He is, but he may be trying to do too much with the puck.

It's just you, Blackheart; you need a reset every so often. Hate to be the guy to have to tell you that.

The Herb Brooks approach. Or at least his Olympics approach.
