Not sure what the poll is about, but voted for McMahon because I don't know who vanilla is.

Vote here against goldy in the mascot challenge. Down with the bucktooth rodent Goldy gave me a hard time for being a Sioux fan at the final five one year and this is a way I might be able to get back at him. If the administrators disapprove I understand. Just thought this would help pass the time for some until Friday arrives.

So the refs can decide the outcome of the game in the 1st period with all of the calls and not in the overtime. COWARDS

Daylight savings.

I don't think it is Hakstol as much as it is a lower talent level this year than we have had in the past. Juniors and Seniors just aren't getting it done. We would have had a very complete team with the 2 offensive stars we lost. Why is it Hakstol's fault? The only thing I could think of is prepartion. He isn't on the ice playing and he has tried different combinations. I wouldn't put the blame solely on him yet.

Maybe we just need a player to break something as Corey Koskie did for the Twins. Break stuff or brawl if things don't go our way.

Crap

Okay, let's just get it over with now and back to the win column.

We need to start converting fast. Zajac hatty would be nice. Should already have about 5 goals.

Brady probably pressing too hard to get himself going or was it a hit he took?

We had a few chances that we should be netting to put it out of reach.

I love hearing dog talk.

I'm out. I've got better things to do on a Friday night than listen to this. Just glad I'm not watching it.

Are we going to start doing something soon?

Hak had better be laying into the team right now. We better look a lot better against Northeastern right out of the gates tomorrow.

I might tune into that Duluth game soon. Much more exciting.

Hey Dogz, referees probably trying to keep the #1 ranking jinx alive? I hate refs more than ever, oh wait we are starting to get some our way finally.

Fights or what Dogz? What triggered the events?

Hey Jim. Is there a way to watch the game tracker but listen to Hennesy?

Thanks Pat! It is great to start learning more about Hak. I really hope that he will turn out to be a strong force as Blais was. Many recruits would always say coaching, facilities and tradition are why they choose UND and I hope Hak can keep bringing them in. This is why it is pretty important to have a good year and show people nothing has changed. I read in the Star Tribune the other day about another kid who is interested in either Minnesota, Boston College or Denver. It would be nice to see UND considered again in those choices. Soar past the Eagles!

We'll do! I'll bring a notepad and pen. Though I hate the gophers, I would like to see a tie or Badgers win because I think they will be a better team later in the season.

Thanks for the input. I just called her and the tickets are still available. I will wear the jersey.

I was asked by a secretary, at the school I teach at, if I would like to buy her gopher tickets from her for the Friday Wisconsin game. 6 rows up section 1. Should I go and watch the gopher game live or skip it and be loyal to the team I really care about watching the Sioux on television via satellite? If I go, should I wear my Sioux jersey and who should I pull for? Thanks for the help Sioux fans! Please don't think less of me if I decide to go.

From what I've seen of Stafford, he looks really slow to me and will need to be the type of player who knows where to be at the right time, like Brett Hull. We need a forward who will be aggressive on the opposite end of the rink and in the neutral zone. Somebody who can pester the other team and make it tough for them to get the puck out of their zone and up the ice. I think Spirko would be great at this. He kind of reminds me of the Panzers, Blake and Spiewak. This was really exciting to watch and with our big "D" at the other end, I don't think this would hurt us too much. Who, also will be the sniper on the team to take Travis Roche and Brandon Bochenski's place? The only way we will probably get goals (until somebody can fill this role) is when we are right on the doorstep, which doesn't happen all that often. Also, where have all of our exciting breakaways gone the past couple of years? Parise had a few, but the clutch and grab usually slowed him. Murray should be able to fill this void as he had a couple of opportunities lately. But, it would be nice to have Spirko and a couple others do this more. I personally think these are reasons why our team isn't as exciting as teams of the past. Hopefull these voids will be filled and the games will become more enjoyable. Hopefully Hakstol still has all of the old tires at the rink still to conduct the passing drills that Blais designed. This would be a perfect week to work on getting the puck up the ice, passing between the tires.
