I for sure thought at least one would be producing by now too. We can hope that one or two of them crank it up a notch (or three) after the midpoint. Honestly, all three have shown some talent at times this season...but it has been way too inconsistent, much like the rest of the team really.

The local Blackhawks reporter better not mention hot goalie in his recap or some posters here will lose it.

Since we don't have anything more to look forward to this year, I thought I'd look at how our committed recruits are doing thus far. Lookin' Good: Tucker Poolman, D - 21 GP, 6g-9a-15pts, 2nd in league dman scoring Trevor Olson, F - 10gp, 6g-7a-13pts, started the season strong...now out after surgery Ryan Mantha, D - 15gp, 1g-4a-5pts, already matched his goal total from last year Nick Schmaltz, F - 16gp, 8g-12a-20pts, leads team in scoring, dominated Intl tourneys Shane Gersich, F - 23gp, 10g-7a-17pts, picking it up recently for the NTDP U18 team So-So: Austin Poganski, F - 15gp, 4g-0a-4pts, worst +/- on the worst team in the USHL Chris Wilkie, F - 19gp, 5g-4a-9pts, 3rd in team scoring on worst team Jack Rowe, F - 17gp, 7g-3a-10pts, doing a bit better than last year Christian Evers, D - 17gp, 1g-4a-5pts, NTDP U17 team Luke Voltin, F - 20gp, 1g-9a-10pts, tied for 2nd on team in scoring...one goal? Christian Cakebread, F - 19gp, 5g-2a-7pts, 3rd on bad Fargo team in scoring Cam Johnson, G - 11gp, 3.06 gaa, .915 save %, good save % on a horrible team Danys Chartrand, D - 26gp, 3g-5a-8pts, doing better than last year Charlie Pelnik, D - 29gp, 0g-5a-5pts, hopefully a good defensive dman... Rhett Gardner, F - 22gp, 7g-6a-13pts

6-3 SLU SLU finishes 4 for 8 on the PP tonight.

Man, they're getting Gopher'd.

That loss and the regional final loss against DU when Parise/Bochenski were at UND stung about the same for me. Those two years I for sure thought were destined to be title years...

No worries, he won't be talking about it for a couple weeks now.

This really is a must sweep type of series, although UND needs to show us that they can play consistently well for 120 min in a weekend. The Sat BU game should hopefully serve as a wake-up call and show that they can play that well. SLU's offense is primarily centered around the Carey brothers. Slow those two down and our chances of winning a game or two go way up.

Thanks for the write-up, keikla! Prior to the season starting, who would have thought OD would be such an important part of our offense? He really has improved since last year, and that's great to see. Perhaps that is why the coaches kept giving him chances last year...they knew that he had it in him.

Better bring our bank statements!

Evidently someone is still a wee bit bitter that UND ended the big streak. Apologies to you.

Fire Goehring!!

That would be awesome.

Nicely played sir.

Worked with Mussman.

Haha. I'm not the one asking to buy him out nor asking for him to be fired in every single one of my posts.

You couldn't afford it.

Geez, one loss by the women's program after their huge streak and you blow a gasket. Calm down man, things will be...ok.

The streak is over. Nice!

Fire Grand Forks!

English please.

Hak at intermission: A bruise on the leg is a hell of a long way from the heart, candy ass.

What question is that? Blais never blows a 2-goal lead, EVER!!!

I like these lines. Cags and Rocco together again. The 2nd line has good skill. 3rd has grit. 4th could surprise...a little offense on that line too.

That was the game that the Sioux won to advance to the final against Denver. The 1-0 loss to DU that still stings, as that team was probably one of the most skilled Sioux teams in quite some time. Brutal. http://www.uscho.com/box/mens-hockey/2004/03/26/holy-cross-vs-north-dakota/ http://www.uscho.com/box/mens-hockey/2004/03/27/denver-vs-north-dakota/
