What's wrong if this team struggles for a bit? It'll only make them better. There's 60 teams in college hockey? I can think of 50 teams right now worse than UND. We'll be just fine. Relax, people.

Well Yon is in for Hoff so... Hoff hurt.

UND played a great game last night. In addition, Denver is pretty good (like they usual are). Positives: Pace, effort, puck movement (the olympic rink last week didn't do the team any good) Crowd - Very solid Cole Smith - Solid game. Give credit where credit is due Cam Johnson - Best game of the year Defense - Besides those two brain fart plays in the second period that lead to two Denver breakaways, they played very well. PP - Better... need to score a goal or two tonight Needs improvement (won't use the word negative) Brock - Please start dishing the puck more, Tyson Jost is a good player, spread the wealth, (see their 2 on 1 play) again, when teams target you, other players are open, it's really that simple Wilke - Just score a goal for confidence, I don't care how you score, you need a damn goal to get the monkey off your back Simo - better game, you're due for a garbage goal too. You need one Hoff - You're due for a goal to get your confidence back Yon - Continue to improve, with his speed and shot, he shouldn't be a healthy scratch imo

Jost - Solid weekend! One of the youngest guys on the team and one of the few that would win the small battles this weekend. Effort and speed was there too while the majority of the squad looked slower than the Gophers. He's progressing well. As a fanabase, this years team is a work in progress right now and I'm okay with that (well, for now, it's only Nov).

Matej Tomek - what do we know? Someone, anyone?

Let's see if that translates into a natty title. I'm gonna go ahead and say no. You need a lot of pieces to the puzzle to win a natty.

If Brock wants to be a true leader and expand his game this year, he''s going to need to move the puck on the PP. If you're reading Brock, when teams target you because they know you're the shooter, that opens up space for teammates. START DISHING THE PUCK! There's nothing wrong getting assist here and there. My 2 cents.

Feel bad for Wilke. That goal that was called off for him (would have been a goal in the NHL) weeks ago would have been good for his confidence.

Concur. As a whole, the D-corps just needs to get better week to week.

My two cents: Our defense needs to make better improvements week to week. Our backend is our weakness. Peski - did have a lot of turnovers. The college transition is eating him alive right now. Mistakes will happen. Stay positive. Get better. C. Poolman - He's been solid. Very impressed by him. Biggest surprise so far. C. Johnson - You can see the nerves. Is getting better. Bottom line, like Peski, stay positive. Get better weekly. Set small goals. Gage - Great leader and captain. You look lost this year. Need to find your game without your partner Stetcher. Bowen - ? If our D corps struggles does he go to D and start getting reps in at practice? Played D last year. It "could" happen. Shaw - Pretty solid, good effort, some mistakes. Like his game. Wolanain - Get healthy. Not himself so far this year. Made a ton of mistakes when in the lineup. Tucker - He's been rock solid. Collectlively, this D corps NEEDS to get better week to week. They have to set that goal and have that mindset.

BC-Wisco game is over. Show me 1 game this year where UND gives up 8 goals? Wisco is okay on offense and terrible on defense. They are average!

UND has two solid lines with everyone healthy and will have quite the 3rd line as well. College hockey as a whole lost a lot of players to the pros, however, UND has it better than most on paper. I know it's only October and it's early. I'm just stating what I've seen from all of UND's games this year.

I neve said they didn't and you're missing the point.

See my statement above regarding freshman.

BC like BU has a lot of freshman. In addition, BC's freshman aren't as high caliber as BU. Good freshman in college hockey typically don't lead to a Natty Champ. See Eichel, Kessel, Turris, etc.

Nope. Denver is a solid team. Early in the season for them regarding their loss to BC...wouldn't look too much into that.

I mean when UND gives up 6 goals in a game (could be more) during this season like Wisconsin, I'm happy to have a conversation. Not gonna happen.

Both of these teams are average. Not trying to have my green glasses on, but I like what I see at UND. Hoff and C. Poolman continue to impress me early on.

Jewels was a Senior, it was a given. Your statement would have had more validity had you said N. Schmaltz.

Elaborate? I get DU will be good this year, but that team lost their 2 best forwards. The good guys (us) we lost some great defenseman and that is our weakest leak, but'll this team can score a lot of goals to make up for giving up a couple goals a game. Please enlighten me.

I stopped at the Scheels in Fargo this week...I couldn't believe how ugly the "Fighting Hawks" logo t-shirts looked. Very bland and of course plenty of quantity as no one was buying them. However, the "North Dakota" under armour apparel while keeping off the Fighting Hawks removed anywhere on the items looked great! I'm fine moving forward, but I'll never purchase "Fighting Hawks" merchandise. It looks terrible!

Grand Forks has a JL Beers like Fargo obviously. So the best burger in Fargo one can get in GF? I thought there would be something else for best burger in Fargo..

What is #1 in Fargo? Just curious.

Great skills and effort on the photoshop job, but honestly looking at the logo on the helmets, it looks like an 8 year found a sticker and slapped it on his helmet to be cool so that he could show his friends and be different. It just doesn't look right...

I'm fully aware. There hasn't been any medium like this yet, though during the whole process that will fuel the conversation again. This will get more views and exposure and water cooler talk than anything else (protest, petition, letters etc.) I know it's been a long/dragging process and "some" people are tired and ready to move on. However, just wait....
