The 88-89 team put up 9 on Stauber the Robber. It can happen. Mr. Rob stole the show Saturday night though.

I was watching the webcast...interesting that it is not in the replay. Wonder if they spliced in some 'historical footage'? All they showed was the stick tap and salute...none of the gathering round or skating away afterward. It was a very short clip.

They did broadcast the stick salute...it was the last bit of their broadcast, after Hammer and Kober said "Good night". Could have been spliced in though, as it seemed delayed from when it would have happened in "real time".

My real worry is that they do have the talent, they just aren't putting it to good use. Defense can win games, but not if you don't score goals. We have to light that lamp.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. We've all heard it before, and there is proof of that everywhere. The "Alabama" of college football just had their butts handed to them by a team they should crush, in the sugar bowl. A game they certainly should have been "up for". A game that counts. While this game may serve to fire up the team for the next few games (locker room meeting, anyone?) it troubles me some that UND put on this lackluster performance where our coaches spend a lot of time recruiting top players. Surely there were some in the stands tonight that are/were considering a path through UND instead of Junior A hockey, and they watch the team fall flat. Not the dynamic squad they'd like to commit to. Losing a few key recruits hurts the team over the next few years...THAT is what bugs me about last night's loss. Not the rest of this season. And yeah "offensively challenged" seems to be an apt description. Lighting the lamp seems to be a struggle for this team, and I find that fairly surprising given the numbers some of these players brought with them to UND. All that said..."Go Sioux". I'll always be a fan and bleed green&white.

I hate to keep picking, but if you go back and listen to the highlights from Friday's 4-1 win you will hear D.H. say "...third power play of the inning." Really.

Back to Hammer...I am also a little weary of the phrase "..it caroms off the boards". Can't it bounce? Rebound? Bank? Angle? Skitter? Maybe even reflect or deflect? Must it always carom? I'm not saying carom is wrong...but pucks bounce off boards all night long and if carom were the drinking game trigger it could get ugly up on the 4th floor of West hall by the start of period 3.

My new favorite was from last night's game: "Oh...the things that happen in the crease."

Good sweep for the road team. Hard fought weekend. Would love to see more agressive hockey with the lead in hand though. 5-1 is much better than 3-2, but a win is a win. A weekend to build on...we found a couple of lines, and a goalie. GO SIOUX!!!

TH VERY impressed with a Gothberg save with twenty seconds left. With no stick...leg save. Exciting ending... Gothberg player of the game.

That powerplay was all about giving Western a chance to make it close at the end. They took advantage of it. We need to ANSWER!!!

Zane keeping the pipes well sealed. Nice job so far. Twenty minutes to broadway! Go SIoux!

NICE JOB ROCCO!!!! GO SIOUX!!!! 3-1

Student section cracking up TH there... 2-1 UND

Webcast was constantly rebuffering...now I have an error that says it's "unavailable". WMU needs a bigger pipe for Green and White fans!

Nice PP effort. Go Sioxux!

Stick salute by WMU? Ok...
