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.

What are your guys' thoughts on this series? UMN handled them pretty well. Does that mean that we will split with them? Worse? Win 2 tight games? Who knows. Toews will be gone as well.

I wish I was making this trip. It would be fun to find that Dartmouth AD and yell "Go Sioux" right in her face.

So, we lose Murray to the Badgers in the same week that we get swept at home by them. Does that mean that David Toews is going to sign with Tech this week?

I can't wait to see LaPoint in a Sioux uniform next season. The kid sounds like a stud player. Maybe he is the next Roche that we have all been waiting for.

His mom doesn't normally require him to be sober to do the house chores.

These Fire Hakstol threads are so cool. /end sarcasm

Yes, because that is definitely a true indication of their respective talent levels.

I thought that the team came out of the gates very strong tonight. The game could have been 3-0 before 7min had gone by, but Elliott made a couple nice saves after the Miller goal. The DOT line was very dominant, but they have to start scoring on some of the numerous chances that they get. This Sioux team has all the right ingredients for a contending team, but they're not going to have a shot at even making the NCAA playoffs if they keep losing these close, winnable games.

What do you mean, their team hasn't picked them up? Phil isn't drafted, and won't be leaving for the pros early like JPar did. And Forney wasn't about to go straight from MN HS hockey to the NHL... Give Forney some time. I have the feeling that he will develop into a very good player for the Sioux.

You do realize that you are contradicting yourself here, don't you?
