Let’s go boys

7th in the league on the PP heading into tonight. Yeesh....and then tonight.

Is this some kind of radical new therapy?!

What about Bob?

Man I hope this turns around and quickly, seasons where we are watching the Pairwise Bubble just aren’t good for anyone’s health.

Hennessy and Ole are top notch and we are lucky to have them. Most road games they are the winning ticket for me. I wish Ole was on the road more for broadcasts but the world is in imperfect place. A Plus, you can play one helluva drinking game counting Ole’s “Yups.”

Thanks for all the tips and info on the subject of these jerseys today @MafiaMan

We are now in a dogfight for home ice and there need to be some sweeps. Tough road series’ at Duluth, Western, and Miami make this a tough battle but maybe this is one of the years when UND plays with a chip on its shoulder on road trips? Other than the Home series vs Western, I’m really not feeling good about this skid we’ve been on since the second night in Denver.

Davies has some depth (not a lot of teams in ND hockey can say that) and that makes them a contender out east. I have seen Davies toy with some lesser teams this season. Let’s see what we learn from the holiday tournaments but at this point it looks like the two GF schools and Davies. Nice to see Grafton has improved but there may be a drop-off between # 3 and #4 in the EDC standings.

Jan 19th is a game at Duluth - are you referring to January 13th vs. Bemidji State, by chance?

And don't forget.... We've got the team. (Rah! Rah!) We've got the steam. (Uff Da!) Funny, I asked the same question above via the Forum in 2012.

Said to a buddy the other day - St. Cloud and UND are going to end up in the same regional in Sioux Falls. It would be interesting if it's also U of M and Minnesota State Mankato too. Doubt they will ever do that but hey, it's four teams from three different leagues so who knows? (I'm making the assumption Mankato will actually finish where the 'typical' WCHA champ finishes - about 14 or 15 in PW.)

Question is: Will there be green beer too?

I think the top three teams are standouts and Western Michigan is right there too. Whoever wins the Penrose will have to earn it the hard way and they could burn themselves out for the playoffs. It is going to be a fun race. We will likely look back on this series in St. Cloud as the defining moment. This will be a fun way to wrap up the first half of the year.

Black Friday....Red Pepper Tonight: 2-0 Shutout win today for the Home Team - I get the flatness that could result following Denver but Saturday night was a loss and I don't know if this team loses back to back a whole lot this year. I'll be there loud and proud. Tomorrow: 2-2 Tie Big four games coming up in December vs. the Broncos and Huskies - a good chance to position one's self well in the NCHC heading into the New Year.

The physical and mental toil that comes with facing a rival can lead to a hangover the following week. It happened to UND last month at CC a week after the Gopher series. Hopefully that won’t be the case this week with the Dutchmen in town. Time for some Pairwise padding, boys.

Get set for #1 vs #2 hockey this weekend as UND goes to Denver...question is, who will be #1 in the polls? I know, I know, polls don’t really matter and Pairwise is all that counts (and it’s too early for that anyway) but for fans of this rivalry like me, it adds more electricity to a great series. it should be a great test for the boys, particularly the freshman and Thome in net if Cam’s not ready.

On a quintessential night of College Hockey, I really enjoyed the matchup with Wisconsin last evening. The atmosphere was on par with a January or February matchup. This was a great coming of age effort for the team against a strong opponent in their barn. I also enjoyed the FOX Wisconsin coverage. The play by play was really solid and the graphics on screen (shots along with score) was a plus I would like to see on UND’s MidCo coverage. Thome, Adams, and other freshies really impressed. Roll Tribe!

While out of the Big 10 viewing area last year I watched Big10 2-Go during the Big 10 Hockey Tournament and it streamed well. As noted earlier it was free and easy on Mid Co via the TV everywhere (anywhere?) option.

Mark is a great guy. He has also performed at Dodger Stadium in LA. He is talented and we are fortunate to have him.

It's fitting that St. Larry is in town this weekend considering the 1987 team will be honored. The squad from New York made the Frozen Four that year. 2-2 tie tonight, 4-1 win Saturday for UND.

As a loyal UND telecast viewer, this is tough news to hear. Some traditions need to remain. For example, what is a world without North Dakota Eye Clinic? And their half century of eye care excellence?

I think if Jost is back he has a good chance to make Team Canada if NHL players aren't part of the roster. It would be unfortunate to lose him for a while but it would be a great opportunity for him.

Read that NBC Sports is committed on covering Hockey LIVE and South Korea is 13 or 14 hours ahead. Get set for some 2:00am Hockey Viewing, folks.

Bowen reminds me of a young Stecher. I love the effort that kid offers night in and night out.
