4-0, N. Schmaltz x 2, Parks, OD

I wouldn't read too much into 1 game this time of year. We're 6-1-1 with one of the best d corps in the country and the most dangerous team shorthanded, so overrated might be pushing it.

Ok, now everyone on the chat in the 2nd intermission can get back on the wagon... geez you would've thought we were losing to UCONN or something!

How come it says 14.95 when I go through my phone app? Can't find the 10 dollar option...

Picked a good weekend.

Yeah, their Pairwise won't be affected. They just won't be able to make the post-season, no matter how high they are ranked at the end of the year. It will be interesting to see if they will get into the top 10-13 teams in the pairwise.

I wish hunting opener didn't conflict with this trip. Wisconsin is one of the places I've yet to be and of course it lands on this weekend. I swear in past years they perfectly schedule these games I want to see on hunting opener, drives me crazy!

You're labeled a troll if all you do is throw in useless comments with no reasoning or facts behind them to back them up, it doesn't matter which side of an argument you are on. No one said he's above questioning in this thread, did they?

You're right, Apparently a red M(for Miami) and W(for Wisconsin) are the same to me, HA!

I believe NCHC.TV or BTN2GO App

And a hurricane, but the hurricanes name...is Ditka

I think you mean LSSU for Lake Superior State, not NMU for Northern Michigan.

Bracketology is stupid to me and just used to keep uscho writers busy and get people clicking on their site. However, when you look at the PWR and the projections provided by Jim Dahl it gives a great insight into what the team needs to do in order to find themselves in the hunt for #8.

It's not final until late March but that doesn't mean it's useless. Jim Dahl gives calculations on where UND will end up depending on the amount of wins starting January and is usually spot on. I find that useful.

Pretty sure you are joking, but so other people aren't confused, pairwise doesn't mean anything until January.

I could watch this hit over and over again. I remember going to a Michigan Tech game where he knocked a guy out cold from a check a few minutes into the first period. He was a man amongst boys his Junior year and it was pretty obvious he would have no problem succeeding at the next level.

Yup, I was a freshman too at the time. I'm just curious as to what their size was then to show they really did put on size like you're saying.

I guess I don't know firsthand that Toews did or did not add a lot of muscle over the summer. Do you have his weight when he came into UND? I couldn't find it and I can't imagine he weighed a whole lot less than 195 lbs. I mean, I'd be surprised if he put on 20 lbs of muscle over the summer.

Completely agree, it's out of hand and it plays a part in the atmosphere being neutered in the arena. I want to see Jim Montgomery doing his best Gwoz impression come February!

FYI just because I was curious on your size argument, Toews was 6'2", 202 lbs starting his sophomore year of college so the size/strength argument is out. Also, Toews had insane foot speed too. I remember him absolutely walking around an oppossing defender and scoring before the guy could turn around. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=749631

If it's guaranteed will you give me 100-1 odds on $5? If you win, you can buy a beer at The Ralph(almost) and in the crazy chance I win, I can buy another seat to add to my season tickets. Deal?

Don't you think people thought the same thing about Johnny Toews in college though? He played 2 years of college... Also, Oshie had no business playing 3 years but he did. I remember Michigan Tech's coach saying that Oshie was a pro playing with college players, a man amongst boys and that he essentially had no business playing college hockey. He was one guy I remember going to games his Junior year and saying "Oshie took over that entire game and won it for us". Will Eichel most likely leave after this year? Yes, but I don't think it's guaranteed.

I really hope Matthews is considering UND strongly because it would be really exciting to get to watch him play at The Ralph, even if only for a year or two. However, do you think Eichel could stay at BU for another year because I'd have to imagine that being a strong factor in his decision too with their history together. That would be a scary first line to play against for the Terriers.

Don't get me excited...

I vote he plays for Mattson.
