Big A HG

Anyone disagree with splitting Duncan and Oshie as an experiment after watching that game? They're just not clicking.

Like I said, as a line, they haven't clicked as a unit. Most of their points have come from each of them creating individually. If Duncan can bring something to another line, and then our first line not missing a beat by putting Kozek there, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of it. I'm not expecting something like last year at all, I'm just saying the puck movement is less than ideal for a line that's supposed to still be one of the best in the country. (See threads that said Duncan--Oshie--Whoever-You-Put-Here would be best in the country).

Is it time to split up Oshie and Duncan? I think Hak should just to see what happens. Both have produce a fair amount of points, but virtually none have come from great puck movement with pass after pass like last year. The opposing defense heads aren't spinning like they used to and maybe a change of pace would be good. How bout: Vande-Oshie-Kozek (Oshie can do it all, Kozek's a shooter, and vande's a passer...all are great defensively) Kaip-Duncan-Frattin (hard workers with good mix of passing and shooting) Trupp-Miller-Malone (good mix of speed and size) Zajac-Watkins-Forney (let's see what forney can continue to do) I think that would be a pretty dynamic lineup.

I must have lost too many brain cells this semester, I went off the top of my head. It will change.

AZSIOUX told me to make this for his site and whatnot, so anyone else that wants to use it or post it anywhere to help spread the word, feel free to use it.

I'm guessing I don't want to know.

That's funny, I ordered two pepperoni pizzas from Slapshot today.

I don't think Scheel's in GF has those, but I think other Scheel's do.

Those 1959 jerseys are sweet. I love mine. I can't believe you got so few of them Ryan, these should sell like hotcakes. I wish I had money for the Hrkac too, it's hard to believe that is still for sale.

Students are basically considered GP for this series (and other holiday break games). They get reserved seats, but only have to pay the $7/game. For the most part, there isn't a student crowd for these games, just students mixed into the public. It doesn't create much of an atmosphere in an already stale REA.

UAA DOES have horrible puck handling skills. That's really degrading to the Gophs that they gave up 4 goals (3 in one period) to a team like that. I love AA's grit though and how they seem to play UM tough.

Hey, I'm not so sure you should be the one to criticize on fan attire there diggler, haha.

UMD is only 1-3 on the road this year, so let's get some stability going here in our schedule and kill them now, and by the time we play them at their place, we'll be rolling straight to the playoffs.

I'm an idiot, Go Pack

Just to defend my home state a little, at least he has a full set of teeth unlike all the meth addicts in ND.

I usually never make predictions like this, but we need to and WILL sweep Duluth.

Who has the Kozek?

Toews for sure. You know what you're getting with him.

Hey Orwick, I have a game puck from this year, and can probably get another. If I can get another, would you be interested in it?

The swifts were sold during an online auction in summer. You can only get them from private collectors now or wait til next years batch.

In the photo section from the MSU you game you can kind of see it, doesn't look like there's much to it yet.

Yeah, he collects jerseys in general, has some from most prominent schools.

One thing I forgot to mention was that this would put the most focus and pride on just being from North Dakota. You don't refer to yourself as anything else but being from ND/UND. Not sure if that makes sense, but it's cool to see a few others in agreement. Also, we wouldn't make Ralph mad, because wasn't he going to be upset if we "changed" it...not just dropped it? (referring to Sioux name)

I just wanted to see who all has one on here. I have one I was thinking about trading, but just wanted to see who is all out there. I know AZSioux has the Finley currently, and used to have the Radke. I've seen a few at some games. I saw Oshie's at home, Watkins and Chorney on the road. I know a BC fan has the Lee. Other than those, I haven't seen any others.
