Big game tonight. 2 points will be huge in seperating us from the bottom 1/2 of the league. Minny still has 2 games in hand and if the Sconnies win again tonight and we don't, 4th place is about what we're looking at when it's all said and done. I think this team responds like it did at MTU on Sat. Can't worry about the Pairwise this early, just need a win tonight...period!

Problem is...so did WE!

Yup!

Got my pair in lower bowl thru Ticketblaster last week!

Exactly...I got tickets I want to use!

Just joining in. Is We-slacky standing on his head? Not the hot goalie syndrom again!

I'm with you and I'll take the over both nights as well. UND has better team speed than most think. And JanU can score...especially at home and on the PP.

So your point is what?...UND wins even though they are going to get outscored 5-3?

Tonight has a 5-4 type game written all over it. If UND gives up 2 PP goals, JanU wins. If they don't, Trupp gets the game winner. I'm calling it 5-4 UND!

And running SU into the red at the same time. That's why he is constantly at the legislature with his tin cup asking for spare change!

Exactly. Bucky is just like herpes...you just can't get rid of it! PS: I play a Dr. in real life but not on TV so I know what I'm talking about.

But with the increase in births out of wedlock on the rez, there be plenty of them around in the future to become those CEOs of Fortune 500 companies...but only after their free education at UND!

Really? Is that what you saw from Omaha? It was obvious sitting right across from GG what the interpretation was, not only by his actions but his expressions. If WCHA officials want to be publically stripped of respect and don't want to control any situation properly, you'll continue to get the antics that took place both nights. But don't be an enabler for this ass!

Wow, what an interesting concept...NDSU without a halo!

You forgot to mention the 2 hands around the throat gesture he gave Anderson a couple of times.

Totally agree. Ran into Kozek in between periods as he was signing a young girl's jersey. Heard him say he could have gone last night but is not 100%.

I have said many times before but there is nothing on consistantly inconsistant than the officiating in the WCHA. And on top of that there is no greater equalizer for league parity than WCHA officiating. Anderson and crew were brutal Friday and last night was a total embarrassment. The blatant and dangerous stickwork by DU on Friday that wasn't handled properly was pathetic. So then Sat. both teams are slashing, hooking, ect...knowing little will be called. Then the GG fiasco! Anderson and Campion need to come and see me for an exam to see if they actually have testicles. Talk about being undressed as a man! You get respect as an official by not doing what those 2 did with GG and his antics. PS: UND should be happy to escape with a point last night. DU was rolling. Overall another great weekend of hockey at the REA.

Thought Blood was our weakest D-man last night, but agree it's tough to be solid when you are out for 3 weeks. Jones will bring that little extra grit tonight.

Agree. There was the blatant spear to Vandy then the 3, 4, 5 cross checks to boot. But when has Anderson ever really nailed the instigator? I'm truly suprised thing didn't get completely out of hand.

Now you're talking. I'll tell my bookie you're in!

So what you are saying is you're going out on a limb here? I'd put down $100 on 50% odds tonight to double my money. I'd say we are at least a slight favorite...51%? If DU's top line does score 3 goals tonight, this one could be a rout as well. Their other lines were not very skilled. And I thought their PP for the most part was dreadful. I really like our chances this evening.

DU gave us the center ice in the 1st period and the rout was on, then we kind of took center ice as we wanted to thereafter. DU's top end skill isn't good enough vs. our 4 line depth to play that way again tonight.

My wife asked me this week how many series were left at the REA? She said "Well, I suppose I should catch a game with you." (With the same vigor as one would say "I suppose I should try catch malaria soon?") Should be fun as she is also a big fan of gratuitous violence. Leave the women and children at home?! Hardly, just the kids tonight. Don't think she knows what kind of game it is going to be!

I say Jones plays tonight and if DU goes after Hextall...enter Malone! He was just waiting for someone to start something at the end of the 2nd as the teams left the ice. Was really suprised he wasn't in the mix in the 3rd. I think he works some sorry ass Pio tonight if it come to that. Blackout Jones is just the insurance policy tonight!
