Bobby Hauck interviewing this coming week for the Griz HC job which he held from '03-'09.

Exactly.........is Bubba Ball going to change dramatically by 2020? He wants to stop the run.......run the ball. Neither will happen in the MVC unless Bubba can first recruit those type of players. If he continues recruit the player he has to date UND will have lots of 3-8 seasons in the MVC.

When UND gets into the MVC they will play all the Dakota schools every year. Least in the BSC Bubba can avoid EWU and Montana on occasion.

Agree.........but UND could at least get set up on the PP on occasion to somewhat disguise the fact that it is completely inept!

The MVC is a vastly superior FB conference top to bottom year in and year out compared to the BSC. With that said I'm still in the camp UND athletics should have stayed put in the BSC.

If there is a silver lining......Union was at least better the MSU last year.

This team has to get some consistent offensive production from the 12 forwards that take the ice. Last 3 games (0-2-1) UND has scored 4 goals. 3 of the 4 have been scored by defensemen. 19-14-22 combo doesn't work. Granted 19 scored last night but those 3 have been flat out bad for most of the season. Need to start getting something from the the 2 Euros too. 8, 18 and 16 show flashes offensively. 29...not so much. 7 IMO has upside offensively due to his speed. Getting Bowen's motor back will help too.

One word.........Anderson. BTW........looks like he got some pre-holiday work done again. How much Botox and filler can one man's face indur?

Rieger was better at forward than most of our top 6 guys. Kiersted needs to play in front of Johnson. If you wear a letter at least play to the level of most of the freshman.

Gersich sighting.......

Thome can not help but to over play almost every frickin puck

Too many guys can't even make the simple play right now

1-2

Our "top" line has again been awful individually and collectively

Awful PP....... again

Better first period than last night.

Casey in for Kiersted. No other personal changes. 19 22 14 together..............square peg meet round hole.

Could UND possibly play as poorly tonight as last night? My money is on "no". 4-2 UND

Of those 5 guys he's our 4th line centerman IMO if all 5 are healthy.

27 goes from top line centerman to bottom 6. 22 is such an enigma.......not really sure what his role is.

My 17 year old daughter mentioned 19...........and he's complete lack of productivity last night. He was next to invisible.

I didn't expect it either after the mess Muss left yet the schedule dictated an opportunity in 2016 without having to play EWU or Montana which Bubba is winless against (0-5). I'm hopeful this season is an anomaly but I'm also with Irish that this offensive scheme doesn't lend itself to repeatable success week in and week out.

Schloss >>>> Dave .......... and once again I know nothing as well!
