He was a SENIOR then.

"So you're saying there's a chance?"

But Walski would have stopped 73 shots this weekend!

Wow! Icing meet cake! That would be huge...in more ways than one.

Martens is a kid who just quietly gets it done. Great weekend from him!

Finally! Nice win!

Kind of nice to see some potential fulfilled! Just got done watching Wall*E with the kids. Go Sioux!

Forgot to throw in my 2 cents yesterday before the game, but for all you who didn't hear the recap last night, Tim H. said the Sioux NEVER lose when Jones scores! Ride the hot streak people, he is money again tonight!

Game was on ESPN Classic in Fargo. Not even as close as score. 45-7 Dogs!

I think the Sioux have a little bit of a letdown, but still nets them 4-5 goals. If this team gets 4(+) goals it won't lose tonight, E is playing too solid in net. (Cue DaveK and how it doesn't matter who is in net) Duncan has to be thinking what the h*** happened last night to have the Sioux go off for 10 and he hangs a doughnut. I say Dunc gets at least 1 tonight, probably 2. 4-2 UND with the first broom session of the year. Addendum: Forgot about the potential Mario factor tonight. If he plays, UND wins 11-0 and Mario gets a 6-pack and a couple of assists!

Dude has the crystal ball working! I'll wait to hear from you on night's game thread for your final score and goal picks. Toews and Jones...that was soooooo money!! Nice to see the guys pull out a gritty, close win.

Now we're talkin'! I'll put $100 down on that Vegas line at 250 to 1 odds on that parlay!!!

Here's some postitivity: Mario plays, UND wins and goes 5-1-1 with him in the lineup!

And I find a Wii Fit Pad somewhere for my kids this Christmas!!

Get 3 and we at least get to OT. I'd be suprised if E gave up more than 3 in net tonight.

Gregoire--yes, the other 3 no--unless it's an ENG, but I like the 4-2 prediction. If we get 4 tonight, we'll win.

Ummm...when's that? Ever? Never? Based on reports and Hak's comments, and working with people that have/had concussions, I'd put the over/under at later rather than sooner.

Well said. The talent level on this team is what it is and that is Hak's responsibility from a recruiting standpoint. What bothers me more than anything since Hak took over is his inability to get the team to play inspired hockey on a fairly consistant basis. How many times have you and I seen this team come out and play absolutely flat! Way too many to count. Winning is nice, losing and playing well/hard is ok, but losing because of an uninspired, lack luster effort is unacceptable. And that roller coaster squarely falls on the coaching staff. To come to the Ralph and see a performance from an effort and intensity standpoint like what was given against UAA in their Friday night game is...pathetic. But again how many times have we, as fans, seen this under Hak? You roll with the players you have on the roster and their skill is what it is, and we do have some gifted talent on this team, but to lay an egg from an effort/intensity standpoint virtually every other game is not acceptable.

4.5 goals allowed is the over/under for this coming weekend for BE. I'll take the under and we'll still split because we'll only score 3 or 4!

Dressler?

And that's why this team is 3 games below .500 vs. a fairly weak schedule to date. In a word: Recruitment! And it needs to get better!

I love DaveK, but he just can't figure out that I'm right!!

Then I stand corrected and I won't believe anything my "sources" tell me. Thanks for setting the record straight.

What hockey have you been watching? Not this year's UND team. E has hands down been better in net than Walski so far and it isn't even close. If you feel that it doesn't matter which one plays because they give UND an equal chance to win, you might want to start paying closer attention to...the actual play on the ice! Ridiculous for you to even make that comment.
