Anyone else think Panz plays tonight due to experience and his physical play? I think he does. Simpson, Schmaltz, Stecher, LeDue...is Mattson the 6th?

UND will have to get something out of Mark Mac's line to have a chance this weekend. As much as I think OD has been a big bust so far at UND, he actually played some good hockey last weekend especially Saturday. That was good to see and hopefully that carries forward this series. Parks needs to step up too. If Mitch plays tonight... That situation is starting to rival the Ponder fiasco...oh wait... Bottomline: Zane or Clark will have to be huge early and someone will have to pop one in to quiet the crowd to give us a chance. The freshman in the lineup can't play like freshman this series. If we parade to the box, it will be a 5-1 beatdown or worse.

Caught something from Brad somewhere, live chat maybe, that he needed to play better than last year to crack line-up and obviously hasn't so far in practice. Hak...play CHYZYK!!! Sit Mitch...please.

Having 12 13 year old girls over for a "movie night" tonight for my daughter's B-Day. Hoping for at least a tie to ease the sting of the 4 hours between 6-10 pm when all the girls are at our house. BTW...I'll be watching the game. 3-3...Rocco, Mark Mac and yes...Chyzyk!!!

I'm a threat as well every time out...until I cough up a miserable 3 putt, try to hit a high risk, little reward shot out of absolute trouble, or use Goon's course management and try to carry one over water from 250 out...into the wind! Was going to play yesterday afternoon...was 44 w 25+ mph wind and drizzle. Too wimpy for that. That bothered me alot...the wimpy part that is.

AZSIOUX...it's Friday. Get out of bed and get the gameday thread going already!!!

I have been able to get below a 5 handicap over the past couple years. Why??? Cause I have been able to "eliminate" some of those issues above!! Try it...it will help your game alot. . BTW...not saying which ones were the ticket for me.

I'll repeat myself and probably sound like I have a man crush but Chyzyk offensively is gifted and IMO needs to play. He is St. Clair plus size plus speed plus offense. He just doesn't bring it energy wise all the time and thus sits more than he should. Mitch doesn't do anything for me. Least OD looked like he might play some hockey this season. Mark, Parks and Chyzyk would be worth a shot with Luke, OD and Murphy/St. Clair on another line. Bottom line Mark makes scorers better...problem is Mitch and OD aren't scores. Parks and Chyzyk are.

I think a split is best case scenario IMO. We showed no ability to adjust our style play to the way either game last weekend was officiated. Their PP will bury us if we take penalties like last weekend. Hak has to find another line other than Rocco's. Mark Mac is a wasted talent as he is playing with Mitch. Defensively we will struggle...too many Fr. playing. Excited to watch the game on TV Friday though.

Nicely done!

28-24 Sac. St. Until this team beats somebody better than Idaho St., I'm not picking them. And let's please stop with any sort of playoff talk with this team...

I gave mine away for free and felt I got off pretty cheap!

This...^^^^^^^^!

...when patients have the nerve to ask the nursing staff to "wipe deeper"!!

Totally agree...he was way better Saturday. I think Thompson would have looked the same way had he played both nights as well.

If you are an experienced junior D-man and you looked less comfortable than 3 Fr. D-man in your defensive zone and then with the puck, you didn't have a good weekend. Mattson IMO was our 6th best D-man this past weekend at best out of the 8 that played.

NC and either Sac. St. or Davis...again I'm optimistic. We could lose all 3 of those and go 2-9.

This team will be 4-7 at best when all the dust settles at the end of the year.

Get your tickets for when they square off at the Ralph in December!!!

Exactly. He is just in way over his head as a HC...and his overall record coupled with some absolutely humiliating losses are evidence of this.

...that it hasn't stopped raining since 10 am yesterday with no end in sight today. Cue the ark building...

...that Cobb is out 6-8 weeks w broken fibula.

Totally agree. That was one of the best post so far in this thread and this is why a change is needed.

44 wind and rain in the 58103. Donned one for 1st time to get gas tonight. My head felt like it was a warm baked cinnamon roll in that hat.

I know of a very DEEP pocketed FB booster who was very pro Muss when the season started that is not so much any more. You get a few like this person to waiver and 1of 2 things WILL happen. You can do the math from there...
