Maybe Grieco and Eidsness will be a JPar/Lammy-type duo. Be a rotation for awhile until one of them emerges as the starter.

I'm game again.

Woah. I'm being as optimistic as possible about the Sioux and their chances for the 2nd half, but that is a tall order from any team. The way I see it of what is the most possible outcomes: Split or 1 point against CC (all the World Jr players are still gone). Split or 3 points against UAA. Sweep MSUM. Sweep UMD. Get swept by UMN. Split with SCSU. Split with DU. I think that type of scenario would put the team at around 8-6 for the 2nd half, which doesn't sound great, but is much better than their first half and at the same time should be enough to give them home ice. Hopefully they can get some wins in the Dartmouth Tourney and against BSU to strengthen their out of conference record as well, which would greatly help any chance they may have of making the NCAA's.

Somewhere out there, Evan Trupp is puzzled.

I wish there was a thumbs up icon on this forum, because this post would deserve one. Right on. You are absolutey correct.

I wouldn't do that...then I would have to be sitting here calling for Hakstol, Lee, Finley, and anyone else on Livestoplay06 'no respect' list to be taken off the team. I am more humored by those posts and those posters than anything else.

Good post.

That's quite the conspiracy theory you have there. What are your thoughts on the JFK assassination? UMN holds onto their top pick talent? Like Kessel? Vanek? EJohnson and possibly Okposo after this year? All of those first rounders are lucky if they stay for 3 years. We got 3 out of Stafford, and no one expected him to come back for his sr season.

When aren't they with their recent play?

Sweeping the Sioux?

Is it just me, or is it impossible for some of our dmen to shoot the puck and not have it go right into an opponent?

Yes it is. Hopefully he can keep it up.

That's hard to do sometimes though. If you are skating around the zone with a guy bearing down on you, you don't want to have to look up at the scoreboard just to see how much time is left. Maybe they should install little clocks right behind the nets.

Because the players don't have an internal clock that tells them how much time is remaining.

That'd be my guess.

Has Radke ever played forward before?

Grieco gets the start.

If Blais doesn't want to coach the women's team, then he could always be brought in as an assistant coach under Hakstol.

To take Bishop's scholarship, I say we get Nash or Gregoire on board for next year.

That's just fantastic. Hope it's not bad, and that he doesn't miss the tourney, or any more games at UND.

Sorry Eric. So, with Bishop leaving the fold, does that mean that there is now another scholarship open for an 07 recruit? Maybe Nash?

That sucks to lose Hunter. I bet that you are correct that he transfers to either UAA or UAF.

As do I. Good luck in the BCHL this season, Hunter. Come back next year!

After talking with many of the players on the UND women's team a few years ago, I have no doubt that this will make the team better immediately. It was also help in the recruiting of new players and holding onto them once they get here. Good move.

Great post. I agree entirely.
