Nice movement there.

Forney has made a couple great plays already, and he almost netted his first goal.

Nice win!

Today's Herald: -- Aaron Walski will be the No. 2 goaltender this weekend. He traveled instead of Anthony Grieco, who was in Boston last weekend.

What NCAA hockey arena could even handle that amount of people? It would have to be an outdoor game at a football stadium like a few teams have done recently. I bet an outdoor UND/UMN hockey game at a football stadium would sell quite a few tickets...and being that UND fans travel so well, you would see a huge following with that.

It will be awfully hard for Davidson to get playing time this weekend being that he didn't even make the trip.

You just did.

Good to see him starting really strong. I agree, I can't wait to see him in a Sioux uni next year. It looks like Jordan Murray likes to take some penalties!

NDSU has a football team?

Thanks. Hopefully it's not serious...

Sorry if this has been answered earlier in the thread...but what is the status of Malone?

He's right. No A/C there: http://slog.cstv.com/rinkrat/2007/10/get_the_fog_out.html

I forgot...where is he going again?

Especially when you consider who we will lose this offseason. This is a great class...nice job by Hak and Co.

Nothing against Frattin, but I agree with the earlier post about Turris taking that award. He is a very highly skilled forward. On the other hand, if Frattin remains with Oshie & Duncan, he will certainly rack up the points. And, if Turris finds himself not getting as many points in the WI "system"...we could see a surprise on our hands. That said, the ROTY award is Turris' to lose at this point.

Ouch. I wish him a speedy recovery. You hate to see something like this happen to any player, regardless of who they play for. They will still be in the top 2.

Yes

Thanks for posting the clip. Great goal.

Ouch. That sucks for Forney and the team. Let's hope that it fully heals and that he starts cracking the lineup sometime soon.

Wow. This is alot of worrying by some people after an exhibition game. Insane.

Trupp. Wow. Nice wheels.

And all four of those players are or will be Fighting Sioux.

I dislike Gwoz more than Lucia. Lucia actually gives credit to other teams when they deserve it, or blames his own team's play when they deserve it. Gwoz might be the most arrogant coach in the WCHA. And I think that it tends to rub off on some of his players, so they tend to act the same way.

1. UND - defense and the return of Duncan and Oshie are their strong points. Lammy should be solid, as will the new recruits. Just need a few more forwards to step it up from last year, and this team will be dominant. 2. UMN - yes they lose lots of dmen, but they also return all their forwards. They will win some shootouts, and will get better as the season progresses and their young dmen get used to the WCHA. 3. DU - they have lost alot of players as well, but they also return a very formidable offense. I'm really not sure what to expect from this team. 4. UW - I could honestly see UW finishing 2-3 places lower than this because of losing Elliott and a strong group of seniors, but I will put them here because of their great incoming class. 5. MTU - they could be higher or lower, but I see them right in the middle somewhere. They return a lot, and gain some good recruits, but they certainly won't surprise any teams this year after their finish last year. 6. CC - they lost Zaba, but bring back alot from the rest of their starters last year. 7. SCSU - they will battle with CC and MTU for home ice, but they lost their team MVP from the past 2 years in Goepfert. They'll need more than just Lasch and Nodl if they want to move up higher. 8. UAA - could be switched with Duluth. 9. UMD - could be switched with Anchorage. 10. MSUM - I don't see them being very good this year.

Does anyone know when the Wisconsin individual tickets go on sale? Their website blows for buying tickets, and since they're not on ticketmaster yet, I'm assuming that they haven't gone on sale yet. Thanks.
