Probably Grandma's, good drinks and right across the bridge from Amsoil Arena!

It's a saying for someone that is a huge downer, try not to take it so literally. I have no problem with questioning the team and coaching staff, I do it almost every game. But, as an alleged fan, to give up on a season like your above "participation banner" comment is just ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly; they must be fun at parties.

No, Dean would've pulled the goalie and then intentionally got kicked out of the game in the 2nd period to put the SCSU game out of reach, we'd be undefeated.

Not sure what section as my buddy has the tix but I'll be lower level on the red line with 3 other sioux fans! Amsoil was my favorite trip 2 years ago despite us losing Saturday night in a thriller, so I'm really excited for it this time.

Yeah, how about we be excited because the Sioux kept their foot on the gas and destroyed a team instead of getting up 4-1 and coming out in the 2nd period playing trap and pack in the defense? Have to love the "celebrating a sweep against the worst team in the league" comments. Of course I'm celebrating it, we needed it and completed if convincingly!

Um. You said 5-2, not 9-2... I kid I kid. Seriously though, I'm about to go to Vegas with your predictions because they're scary good.

Yup looks like we got lucky. I was thinking the exact thing about the ranking being precarious so if you made me guess I would say 9-10 with a sweep 14-15 with a split and 18-19 if getting swept. However you need to understand that there is absolutely no math behind these predictions, just guessing

A 9-2 win and making Miami look like they don't belong on the ice with us is an accomplishment. I can't even remember a team in the last 2 years crushing a team's will like that. I almost felt bad for Miami...almost

According to your predictions Jim it would appear that UND had a lot go their way this weekend(outside of the sweep) as you showed only about an 8% chance they'd end up at #12 with two wins

Putting 9 up on anyone is pretty damn impressive in my opinion though. Good confidence builder for the team moving forward and great game for Zane to return for. Now time to take it to Duluth!

The premium UNDinsider app, I believe that's what it's called. It's $5

Nope, that's why. Funny part was I was in Warroad aka Hockeytown USA visiting friends(in close relation to former Sioux players) and they didn't have the channel to watch the game, talk about irony.

Ah I see, little slow on the uptake today

Can't tell if this is sarcastic? haha

Thank goodness, really hope Zane can take the reins from here on out!

I'm definitely sensitive to it, maybe overly so but I grew up respecting the logo and what it stood for. But definitely come on the boards more often, we can always use some victim's err... I mean opponents fan perspective

But thanks for changing your original post

Comments like that were used as leverage to show that UND should not have a Native American logo instead of the high regard we hold it so yeah, it'll piss some people off.

Yeah agree, but I want that Penrose Cup to have UND on the top line

Stay classy Miami, wow

Hey now! Don't provide real stories that actually happened instead of just conjecture that he doesn't seem like a nice guy. Cool story about his interaction with your son though. My parents have ran into Hakstol in St. Cloud and said he couldn't have been nicer. I think he's really intense and that puts some people off for some reason, not sure why. I remember seeing him at King's Walk in the pro shop about to go play golf and he looked as if he was about to play in the Masters. In my opinion(I'm sure a lot of bashers will disagree), he doesn't do anything less than 100%. He really wants to win and I think that has shown when he's won the McNaughton Cup, Broadmoor Cup, and NCAA regionals. Just one final step, and I hope he gets there really soon(like within the next 2-3 years).

As long as 37 attempts is enough of a sample size for you to declare the dump and chase completely useless no matter the personnel, knock yourself out. Just pointing out that it was a black and white answer to something that's not that simple. If you have the right personnel or the right situation the dump and chase isn't a completely dead option. This team has had it's fair share of struggles carrying the puck in as well, turning it over at the blue line, and allowing more 2 on 1's than I care to remember. Hopefully mixing up some lines and changing the strategy throughout the course of the game so other teams don't know what we're doing every single time, like last weekend, would prove to more fruitful.

I must have missed it the next few times. Admittedly made it to the bar upstairs for a shot and drink after the 2nd period so that could have affected my recollection .

Not necessarily true, that would imply dump and chase has never worked for anyone... ever. However did anyone notice the one time a UND forward pretended like he was entering the zone, turned around and passed to a dman who carried it into the zone? Then of course Mattson flubbed the puck at the blue line and it was cleared again. They never tried it again despite it working, thought that was odd.
