    In modern history, I agree.    

    If I go back to the mid 1980's, Jim Archibald.   Fabulous offensive skills and an incredibly nasty disposition.   

    Neat tradition....a TCOS after a loss the first night of a series.

    If only Johnson had fabulous offensive skills.

    But yeah, Archie was fun to watch.  Sadly, all he had to do was just BE on the ice to draw a penalty.  Many times I saw him tagged with 2 for an infraction he was nowhere close to.

  2. From where I sit, which is a looong way from the ice, the reason to keep LJ on the ice boils down to face-off wins.  He's averaging just over 53% on the year, not stellar, but better than many of his teammates.  Gardner is at about the same percentage, with less draws taken.  Other than that, his play is largely unimpressive, with poor penalties taken being far too common.  I can forgive penalties if you score 25 goals.  Just sayin'.

    In Lucia's defense, he did propose that UMD, Mankato, St Cloud, or Bemidji play the almighty M outdoors...but was reminded by the interim AD of the team's record in the last 13 games they've played against the in-state schools.

    :lol:

    Couldn't they bring down St. Scholastica for a tilt?

    NCHC parity....

    Disappointing weekend, no doubt about that. I'm sure Denver felt the same when they were swept by UND and SCSU in back to back weekends. Things are clicking for them now. Maybe UND will have a chance at having the last laugh.

    UND has to rise above the setback. Duluth is going to be wanting points next weekend just as much.

    And now they have some film to watch.

    Practice well, men.  6 huge points on the line next weekend.

    Yes. CBS Sports on Friday (221), ROOT Sports on Sat (683). Have to have the top package to get ROOT. CBS Sports, the third from the top pack.

    I'll just settle for the soothing vocal tones of Tim Hennesey and save a few bucks this month.

    Frattin had a good start with the Leafs at the beginning of his career, then suffered a knee injury and hasn't been the same since. After being traded to the Kings he logged regular playing time until being injured again. He had a decent year with the Marlies last year,dropped off this year. 

     

    Well, we know Frattin's work ethic.  If he wants it, and his body is capable, he'll be back.

    Streaming quality depends on where the game is. UND,best. St Cloud,UNO,Duluth,better. Although CC and WMU have improved from previous years,their camera work leaves something to be desired.Have not watched Miami yet this year.Denver is usually not available on NCHCtv. (cough,cough, bull$h!t,cough)

    You cannot watch the games on delay as far as I know,but you can watch them condensed or in their entirety after they're over. 

    I have, a couple of times this year, started the game from the beginning when I get home late.  It's easily done.  Just don't click on the button/link that says "Live" or you'll get a score spoiler.

    Oh, we must not have been in the same section but I'm sure you are correct and it could have happened.  I'll wager it could have been just as intimidating without the "sxxt" and some of the rest.  But that's just me.

     

     

    I don't disagree with that conclusion.  For what it's worth, I didn't invent the chants, just joined in.  Coming from a rather reserved high school athletic setting, I was surprised to attend my first game as a frosh and see such "activity" from the student section; but it resonated with me and I liked it immediately.  Those games are some of my most fond memories from UND.  I never threw a gopher, and wasn't the person who brought the live goose into the arena, but I reveled in such acts and embraced the zoo-like atmosphere.  

    And it secretly warmed my heart to see a badger hit the ice during the Anthem back about 2007, or so.

    Should we move on from there?  Sure, "we" should.  We're not students any more.  As for the students, this is their team and the arena should always house a good number of seats along the glass and give another generation of youngsters the opportunity to cheer in their own way.  

    Now a word of caution to fans of other teams who may read this.  Hawks are a protected animal.  Not sayin', just sayin' .

    Right on.     Back in the 80's we chanted "who's he, he sucks" but never took it further and I still don't see the point.    In fact, it's less rhythmic so in my mind it's not even as good from a chant standpoint.  But I suppose I have my old man pants on now.

    If you were sitting in the same section I was you heard me yelling "Who's she, she sucks $#!t!" when every opposing player was announced before the puck drop.  "Phu-king sieve"(repeat) when a goal was scored, and a few other less ritualistic taunts at refs (Ricci for sure)  and other players (Pitlick was an obvious target).   The Farce was half way over the glass into the penalty box whenever an opponent sat within, and half way over the glass when play was along the boards in front of them.  And I thought it was a great atmosphere.  That said, I'm sure that parents and grandparents on the other side of the arena could have gone without, BUT...in a conversation I had (years later) with a former Gopher trainer, I was told that the atmosphere in that arena was the most intimidating and unfriendly place to play in the WCHA (according to the team).  That made me feel like a good fan for helping my team out.  Or at least, I justified it that way.

    Maybe, but SCSU going 2-0 this weekend helps solidify UND's PWR. Flipping with SCSU doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things as its usually the difference of playing the 13th vs the 15th teams. I'd say staying in the top 4, and not having to play a top 4 team possibly in the regional is more important. 

    Higher seed might get the West Regional home ice.  It would be nice to skate the regional at the Xcel center.
