Here's who I got next weekend in the NFL playoffs: GB over Philly...close game if weather is bad as GB can't run the ball. Ravens over KC...KC is a fraud and has been so all year IMO. Colts over NY Jets. Rex is tool. Going to be good to see him gone. Saints over Seattle...no brainer.

No doubt... My wife and 2 daughters are staying in MSP tonight due to bad roads on I-94 so it was just me watching the game today alone. Gona have to tone it down with the fam back for the Philly game!! GB D strength is their ability to pressure the QB and play good to great pass coverage. I like GB's chances next Sunday @ 4pm. ARog won't play like he did today. If he plays like he did last week vs. NYG, it's lights out for Philly.

Packer's playoffs started last week vs NYG...4 more wins to go. GO PACK GO! Side note...tough to see Favre finish his career as he did. Still will go down IMO as one of the top 5 QBs of all-time.

Provided I-29 is open from Fargo to GF , will be there both nights. Still a complete mess down here from the weather.

Looking forward to the game tonight. Leaning towards skipping the B2 webcast and just throwing on the headset so I can get an objective take on the game from TH and let the visions of sugar plums dance in my head! If we are going to finally say "hot goalie" and "we stole one" in the same breath...it might have to be tonight. In Dell, we trust! Frattin for Hobey! Chay for President! GO SIOUX!

Not upset...it's Christmas time! Just pretty suprised by how you seemed to brush aside what has been one of the best offensive 1st 1/2 of a season by a UND forward since... Again, Dell has been good...Frattin has be great IMO.

Seriously?? When your top goal scorer has basically double the goals of the team's second leading goal scorer, I wouldn't call many of his goals meaningless. Dell has played well, but where would this team be without Frattin?

One could say the same thing of Chay. (Oooops...I'm looking for lightning to strike!) Marto, IMO, has never received the credit he deserves for his play since he has been here. He is arguably the best skater on the team and his defense is more than solid. Remember he is usually paired with Lapoint...

Most underrated...Marto.

Little late to comment on this atricle, but was excellant. My 10 year old daughter read it yesterday morning that sparked a conversation between us about committment, responsibility, accountability, and doing the right thing in the midst of adversity. In today's society, of me, me, me and of taking the easy way out, it wasgood to read about Matt and how he handled the events of last year to become who he is today. Kudos...

Correct...9-0. Zajac had the same goal scoring mojo a couple years back.

82SiouxGuy, are Leigh Jeanotte?!?!? Oh wait, the "wise and knowing" doesn't fit him. My bad...continue on!

Ooooooh...you're one of those fans! And Chay will be busy being Santa Claus to all the good boys and girls this Christmas as well!!!

He made a couple good saves, but was shaky throughout. His puck handling below the red line is brutal. Almost gave the game away with a few misplays of the puck. Kristo was UND's best player tonight. Simpson really struggled and Blood wasn't much better.

JT Miller with USA goal...he's going to be a good one @ UND. Solid 2 way forward. Only USA guy to mix it up out there.

At least you said that with conviction!

Any chance you can elaborate on your position so it becomes a little clearer to all of us!?!?

Buddy of mine went to game last pm and said USA U18 looked brutal. Good to see Bruno in line-up...gona call it now that he gets one tonight. UND 5-2...UND coasts and BE let's in a softie.

To each of your questions above so far under the guidance of Jones...IMO no, no, and no.

I hear what you're saying...but got to take the good with the bad. With that being said, IF people actually watched the games as you referenced, it is evident he is a defensive liability at times. He was Mankato's best offensive weapon the first 10-12 minutes of yesterday's game. His offensive skills though have a way of overcoming some defensive mishaps most of the time. To his credit though, as the season has gone on, he seems to be finding that happy medium more of being an offensive defensemen.

5 aside...stay outa the box!

5x3...stupid penalty on Blood!

Mav with a dive...penalty on Rowney.

Blood penalty....Mavs on PP

MALONE! 3-2 UND
