Last time I checked tied is better than down 2.

Kick me when I'm down! Well played tho.

This is just ______! (Fill in your own) One of the most pathetic home performance I've seen in years.

Feel like UND is challenging their inner Gopher physicality. Sad...

Actually I need a couple more next Friday.

Not from my seat in 110. Boy are we soft!!!

Forbort and Schmaltz need to stop playing soft. Hit someone!!

After last weekend thought tonight might have been a good time for Schmaltz to wear a suit.

Leaving Fargo in an hour. 4-3 UND with SCSU scoring late to make it interesting. Parks, Knight, Gleason and Rocco.

Bingo! Any time Rocco isn't on the ice is only favorable to one team and it isn't his! So being on a line that doesn't allow him to be on the ice the maximum amount of time possible during a game doesn't benefit UND in any way.

Keeping with the thought that Hak is hoping the RMP line starts to click again at some point, a top line with Mitch and a 3rd line w Rocco IMO is easier to contain than loading the top line w Rocco and having an energy 3rd line. Glad to see Panz is in lineup tonight.

I would take 3 points, but 4 would be better.

You are spot on here. IMO you limit Kristo to some extent with Mitch. Teams can "gang up" on and take away Kristo and have Mitch try to beat them. Same thing with Rocco...but Pattyn isn't going to beat anyone offensively.

St. Clair could center line with Rocco and Drake if Rocco doesn't. I know Hak is hoping for magic to return for the RPM line, but at the expense of keeping Rocco bottled up on the 3rd line I don't get it...especially if Pattyn centers that line. At least St. Clair can skate with Drake and Rocco.

I thought the thing I liked about that game was when Rocco was on the wing with Kristo.

I'll take these lines if Mitch stays on top line. I don't get it but I'm not Hak. No brainer Rocco should be up there. Connor for Jim I would take as well. As far as Bryn, rumor in Fagro from some Force "insiders" it's an off ice issue. From what I heard don't buy it as it was explained to me. Nonetheless he looked good IMO when he played early so something is up. Would like to see Zane after Saturdays performance.

Using the term marketing and Faison in the same sentence while trying to make a point is an oxymoron!

UND is what??? 20+ and 4 in at home in their last 20+ home games? I'm just saying I don't need $10, but if someone is willing give it away, I'll take it.

I would say SCSU's chances of a sweep are very, very slim...less than 10%.

Bjugstad is probably the best talent in college hockey, but he is not the best player in college hockey to date this season...way too inconsistent. Not overrated IMO but he should be much more dominant on a nightly basis than what he is. He should never go a game without being noticed in a huge way but it happens...often. His goal Saturday was more on Forbort for his total unwillingness to lay a finger on Bjugstad moreso than his talent on that play.

Totally agree. Many over there need heavy loads of medication. Truly pathetic IMO.

But those "folks" like PCM have no problem swimming in that cesspool of filth and garbage over in the USCHO threads?? Don't feel you should have been labeled/attacked in the manor it was done but over at USCHO that exchange would have been considered a compliment!

After that defensive performance this past weekend you think he would voluntarily bring it up and discuss it?

If that is the case and he made the trip and ODonnell didn't, that says a lot about ODonnell at this point in the season.

My guess-amation is UND gets another 15-16 WCHA points from here on out. 16 would get UND 36 points to end the regular season. In the last 5 years, 36 points got you a minimum of a 3rd place finish with the exception of last year I beleive.
