Might as well try to trim your fingernails with a cheese grater for more fun and enjoyment!

Sioux crumbling faster than the ginger bread house my girls and I are currently trying to build!!

113,411 take in Mich./MSU game at Big House. Record to watch a hockey game...record for sports event at Big House. More than any FB game!

Yup...step slow.

Not second one...

2-0...Mav's PP goal. UND getting worked!

Look for Davidson, Rowney and Mario to have a good game again tonight. I'll take the Sioux 3-2.

Well said.

Enough said...sold! To me Roughriders is what one would call "low hanging fruit". Just pick it! (And not like your chubby buddy did his nose in 3rd grade) But believe me, this new nickname process will be sooooooooo mishandled and overthought that it will be mind numbing before it's all said and done!!

That's a given and fixed your post!

At least that one's already taken...

It WILL get ugly...first game between schools in awhile, packed Dome and UND is not very good (and that's being kind). NDSU 73-UND 51

Agree with your post...excellent. Roughriders is and has always been my 1st choice for a new nickname. Plus it's the antithesis of anything NA. And personally I want to get as far removed from anything that has NA connotations, history, ect... from here on out. And I don't want some lame animal or color nickname.

Nelson is struggling because of one thing...strength. There isn't much to his frame. This past weekend, especially Sat., was the first time I saw him actually get in there and mix it up consistantly. Problem is he was always picking himself up off the ice. He needs to add bulk and strength before he'll make a big impact in college much less at the pro level. But he has great instincts and really good hands. I think he's at UND for at least 3 years minimum.

IMO we, as fans, are in the midst of watching something special. I know people will say Toews, Parise or Oshie as of late were arguably better, but this kids has a laser shot, can skate with anyone and is physical and strong as any forward we've had in awhile. I enjoy watching him a much as anyone I've watched in a UND sweater!

Thought Trupp was geat tonight and all weekend for that matter. IMO best player on the ice this weekend. Mario played another good game...glad to see him net one. And Davidson's play was more than solid. Good for him to get back into the mix. He sets the 4th line in a way Gleason can't. He is a great fit with Rowney and Mario with the injuries we have.

Think NDSU will keep it close for a half...I'll say 'Cats 28-17. Going to try to find time to sit down and watch it...should be a good one.

The more he plays, the better he looks...except when he is trying to play the puck outside of or behind the net. He is postionally getting more and more solid as he seem to be really adjusting to the speed and pace of the game. He'll need to be as good or better tonight to get UND a win. On a side note, Hak, IMO, needs to get Gleason out of there. You can't tell me Bruno or Davidison paired with Mario and Rowney isn't a better line combo? That line was barely seen from the second period on. Our "strength" is suppose to be our depth? You take that away if you can't roll 4 lines with or without some players out. And Gregiore is out indefinately after wiping out during a warm-up skate before Tues. practice! How the heck does that happen??? Overall, one of the better performances this year top to bottom from an undermanned Sioux team last night.

Sold

Dunn has roughly 90 saves in his last 2 starts vs. UND and the way UND shots the puck, Dunn might need a new jersey by middle of the 2nd period Sat. night!

Bump Make me an offer by 4:30pm and I'll meet you with tickets at the Ralph tonight.

Tickets still available...

2 tickets available for tomorrow night (Friday) Sec. 110 Row J. $70 for the pair. Live in Fargo and could drop off in "metro" area today or tomorrow or exchange before game tomorrow night.

...ummmmm, no...but they wouldn't sweep the Wild in a best of 7 like some here would like to believe either.

I'm with you on this...last to Sat. nights we have had roughly 80 SOG and put 2 in the net?!?! This is one of the most talented offensive teams, top to bottom, that I've seen in along time yet burying grade A chance is difficult for this squad. No way seeing the game live Sat. and rewatching it, we shouldn't have won that game...period. Wouldn't be suprised if UND makes Lee look like an All-American one of the 2 nights.
