I think Hak goes back to forward lineups vs HC plugging in Rocco for Drake. Panz had to play tonight to eliminate some of the soft D play.

A win tonight puts record at 8-3-3 in WCHA. As poor an effort/game last night not a bad league record w 2 games in hand

Shep and Andreson are horrendous...period. They are so inept it's comical. Consistently inconsistent. Their constant yapping at the players is as if they are trying to aggitate them intentionally as to instigate something.

As someone posted earlier CC has 2 wins in last 13 games...both vs UND. Very poor effort w lots of passengers out of the 18, then get shorthanded lineup coupled w STUPID penalties and you get the result that happened. CC is lower half of WCHA for a reason. Their skill top to bottom is not very good. To give away 2 points at home at this time of year vs. a team like CC was hard to watch. Our D was soft and brutal...you could sit 3 of 6 Dman from last night for their play. It was Gleasons 2nd straight poor game though but CC has/had trouble w his speed. Clark has to start playing more consistent. Softies then great saves. 1st goal was pathetic and set tone for rest of the game. Be surprised to see Drake tonight. It was a head injury.

CC is marginal in talent for WCHA and we make another porous goalie look good. Bout as bad as we've played in a while.

At game...stupid penalties and overall poor showing so far.

Got into GF 30 minutes ago from Fargo. I29 lil icy. Speeds 55-65. Windier as u go north.

Raining in Fargo now.

Chance of freezing rain later tomorrow turning to snow Friday. Heaviest snow late Friday w increasing winds. 3-6" Fargo 4-8" GF...as of now

Doesn't sound like the weather forecast is going to do those of us driving back and forth for the series any favors!

That IMO would equal two lopsided wins for UND...but the "hot" goalie is always lurking.

How many Big 10/12 teams could have SU beat or really gone "toe to toe" with this season? When one really looks at the B10 overall it's probanby more than one would initially think. Again look at NIU at WI. Youngstown @ Pitt. SU IMO would have a decent shot vs anyone outside the top 40 in FBS.

Ummmmm...you see a game at the Al this year?!?!? Plenty of tickets available every game. Championships sell tickets!

If as a coach you go the whole season with a kicker that can barely make a PAT much less a FG then you bring in a soccer player to kick in a handful of days before the biggest game of the year which is a playoff game...you got some explaining to do IMO.

Here is the only thing one needs to know about beating NDSU...if you can't get to 21 points with your offense however you want to do that and/or with the help of Jensen throwing a pick 6, you have basically have no shot to win the game.

Final FCS poll has 3 Big Sky teams in the top 11 and 4 in the top 20.

Even without early production at UND, you could tell Frattin and Malone had "it". I wouldn't put ODonnell is that bucket. Now watch him put up a 4 point weekend.

Were we watching the same game? This reminds me of Ohio St. BSC title blowout a few years back. Ohio St. was undefeated this year but would have taken a worse thrashing IMO vs. Bama if they played last night. Until any team north of the Mason Dixon line can get skilled guys to run faster that 4.6 it is not going to change. This is the SEC 8th straight BCS title.

A head coach's demeanor, especially on the sideline, sends a loud message to the team thru out a game. Let's play a little Sesame Street "Which one of these (coaches) is not like the others"...Saban, Bohl, Kelly or Muss. Anyone think the 1st 3 would have done nothing after Braden was head hunted and helmet speared vs. NAU? I got a list if you want more...

After watching L'ville take it to the Gators, I gave ND a shot...oops!

This series vs CC should be wide open, fast paced hockey....if some skill guys need to get it going this will be a good opportunity for them.

That's a SEC beatdown taking shape...ouch.

The Rowney line will be dynamite. With the BC line, you are banking a kid, Mitch, who hasn't played in a year + who didn't do much when he did play last year and another, ODonnell, who hasn't done really anything since he got to UND. Agree Mark is the real deal at center but he is a set up guy in that role from what I've seen. Going to need wings to score. I know I'm in the minority but I really like Gaarder and he is one of those kids who gives you everything he's got. Some nights are better than others but as a fan you notice him when he's out there. I rarely notice ODonnell.

This^^^^^…all of it. If I had to pick a player that needs to play nightly between Mitch Mac ( limited sample) ODonnell or Gaarder, it's Gaarder. Some kids are just "hockey" players and he's one of em.

Not hard to see when CC just isn't very good.
