Pattyn was looking for a partner to dance with last night but no takers. With WI 0 for 30+ on the PP I think someone needs to set the tone for the rest of the season and go Radke on someone tonight. To see Rocco go at it at end of the 2nd I thought would've lit a fire for rest of team to start 3rd...but no.

The dump and chase with most of the players on this team doesn't fit their skill sets. Our top line is speed...not grind. The RPM line isnt clicking. Colton's line does it ok. Our 4th line does it the best. Why Hak doesn't let anyone carry the puck into the O zone is maddening...especially when we are struggling offensively.

Ummmmm...I'm speechless as this is all spot on to a T. Was at game...what kills this team at home is it's inability to carry any momentum it creates for more than a couple minutes in any game. A goal given up 13 seconds after we score with our top line on the ice is mind boggling. The RPM line is pathetic right now. Chyzyk needs to play w St Clair and Caggiula. Gaarder on 4th line...Rodwell has had one decent game since Thanksgiving.

I would be a little bit more concerned about getting 4 point in the last 6 WCHA games than message boards!

Got what I need

Speaking of Williston also used to play on a team with Monte Lund of Ray. Could flat out shoot it. One of best shooters I've played with or seen.

Still looking...

I used to live in Williston. Played pick up at rec center. Was told one day to guard "that kid"...was Hunter. To say the least I was ineffective...

My dad grew up in Glen Ullin and has stories of Ft. Yates and their 25 year old HS players! Similar to UND's 30 year old hockey players. He said rumors had it some of them playing for Ft. Yates and across the border in SD during the same BB seasons back in the day. He said the gym would be packed when Yates came to town as home town fans would even cheer for Yates just to see the 2 digit scoreboard go back to "00" when they hit a 100 points!

Ft. Totten lit up Warwick last night. Think I read Ft. Totten scored 90+.

And now back to our regular scheduled programming..."Fire Muss!!!"

A few of us from CHS would hook up with the Glen Ullin kids in the late spring and summer of that year and play some random tournaments. How they got beat is beyond me. Doug Gerving was a stud!

Well played!! BTW...that '86 Hillsboro team had Elliott Rotvold and...not much else.

Belfield I think?

Great course...if it's not windy. Good luck with that though.

The only one you are missing...Carrington. We took care of Oak Grove and Langdon after that.

We had a chance in '86 to win it all but played a very poor game in round one.

I knew Bobby Franklin back in the day. Very good BB player for Linton, but better pianist!

Ok...but when do we "get there"? I don't think some of these players came back this season to not have the D "get there" by now. A wasted season no one wants!

We had lots of Gary Cederstrom and Rask...Jeff I believe. There is a reason one of them is in the big time, Gary umps in MLB, and one isn't.

Goph's new assistant and D coach seemed to turn that D-man core around pretty quick.

Bump

"Come around" and "in the end"...care to elaborate on your suspected time frame? We are 2/3rds thru the regular season. Not to be greedy but I was expecting it to "come around" quite awhile ago.

St. Clair destroyed a Clown on Saturday in the corner in the context of the play and game. Mac has a history of trying to make big hits just to make a big hit. If it's in the flow of the game those get overlooked more than just trying to find a hit for the sake of making a big hit.

Chyzyk is a way better offensive and 2 way player IMO. He should be in the lineup most nights. He has size, can skate and has some grit to him.
