I think he is smarter than that.

unless it has changed in recent years, it used to not be that hard to get credentialed. although being an inside beat reporter for ss.com probably won't get you that far.

somebody asked Hak today at the press conference about the physicality of this years team, Hak basically dismissed it and questioned if the guy was getting his info from the message boards and moved on to the next question. I found it quite funny, although I would question if he was getting the ideas for his questions from here as he asked that question and proceeded to ask averyone at the podium if they were frustrated they haven't gone on the pattented second half run yet. how some people get credentials is beyond me.

there have been a number of people who thought friday night minny game they played well.

let's wait and hope the team can right the ship and be playing that sat night in april instead of hoping for a consolation prize of winning the hobey and being disappointed.

what happens if it is too warm for the game, will they move it indoors?

games

look to see westen michigan and minnesota in grad rapids. michigan is the host but western michigan will be the best that region will draw as far as attendance goes. miami should be a lock to somehow end up in toledo as well. but this is what the ncaa wants, neutral sites but have to try and hope certain teams end up there. I know there is a different thread for this but have the top eight schools a irst round series kind of like it used to be 20-30 years ago.

something isn't right. you have zero wins in the last fours games and yet have supposedly played well in three of them. that doesn't add up. if you play well and all you can do is get a tie, that isn't good. where are we going to turn it on in the next month? realistically split,split,split, sweep, split and that leaves you in a must win situation going into the wcha tournament. this team is doing itself no favors right now. you might not win titles in january, but you sure as hell can put yourself ina positon to not win one.

the course of this season has to change and hopefully this weekend is as good as any to start that change. I've heard and read many people over the past two weeks say we played well in both minny games and on sat night against scsu. so in three of the last four games against the top two teams in league we have supposedly played well and have a combined zero wins in those games, so either we aren't as good as some think or we've been very unlucky.

hey, by some people's standards hak has run und's program into the ground. so you never know what each person's criteria are.

could Knight's involvement with the preseason party damage his chances at the hobey baker, as off the ice behavior is a main component of the award and as we all know it killed frattin two years ago?

exactly, when the opposing team's d has the puck at the point in our zone I am always fearful of a shot fromt he point going in as for some reason we let a ton of those go in. as opposed to when our d has the puck at the point in their zone I'm always thinking blocked shot or just a shot into their legs.

this series has nailbiter written all over it. fri 2-1 take your pick and sat 1-1. we will continue to struggle to score as we can't seem to figure out how to play teams that clog up the middle. the book is out on us, clog up the middle and wait for a defensive lapse on our end is the recipe to defeat UND.

I have a feeling rocco stays on the top line for at least this friday and the RPM line stays toegther as well. as for mr. mitch I think he is in and out of the lineup from here on out probably splitting time with chyzyk.

got ya, however if you were on ss.com after those two splits and loss to cc, it was no different than it has been the last few weeks on here.

this team did go on a second half run. it started in late january on a saturday night in colorado springs versus cc. in the previous two weekends und split with the gophers and omaha and lost friday night at cc. the team won saturday night and didn't lose again until that fateful night in st. paul agianst michigan.

I will add to this the stupid after the whistle penalty by pattyn in the first which lead to their first goal. it blows my mind that the crowd goes goes wild for this stuff when it puts us in a pk situation against one of the best pp's in the league. oh well, I guess more people would like to cheer for this crap than smart winning hockey.

first 10 minutes? how about the first 5 minutes without being down 1-0.

nice to know we're not the only ones pissing around.

2005-bubble team 2006-yes but probably would make it 2007-yes but probably would make it 2008-no 2009-no 2010-bubble team, but final five run killed this team with 6 games in 9 nights 2011-no 2012-yes, but probably would make it 2013-??

for a program like UND's at least once a decade isn't asking too much.

three games in 3 three days or 6 games in nine days, yeah those have helped our tournery prospects. how many frozen fours have we made after playing three games in three days at the final final five-one. and how many have we won-none. and this year has six in nine written all over it. I've said it before, why is the WCHA the only league to have a flippin third day. I sure as hell hope the NCHC doesn't.

can we stop with the two new players thing. easy solution, sit mitch mac as he brings absolutely nothing to table. nothing. then you only have to find a spot for parks, which who by them way has been less than impressive since his return. so we go into x-mas with a little momentum and then insert two players who have brought virtually nothing to table and have messed everything up. nice

I would take ONE, just one in his tenure.
