Last year at Amsoil told me all that I need to see about the fans. UND in town. 1 vs 2 in the country. Building wasn't full and was about half green.
4x that many people at The Ralph to watch a scrimmage vs Manitoba...and many times, on a Sunday night.
We were where?
I have no problem if a team is very physical and occasionally crossing the line with a play that could be considered cheap.
UMD adds in things like running the goalie and diving, which makes them a team that I can't cheer for.
I didn't get the chance to watch a lot of him, but after losing the heartbreaking section final, he looked very mature giving interviews a few feet from the celebrating players.
I took the comment in question to mean, MM may sit a game, therefore not be on the top line right away.
If he meant he will have to work his way to the top line, then my comment doesn't apply.
