Yeah, it was a patently false statement. It was 100% incorrect. Own it.

Your last comment saying that anyone who thinks it's still a rivalry can't move on the nickname really destroyed all your credibility in this argument.

Were you at Marriuci? Friday night was nuts and the crowd was going wild. I talked to Gopher fans who said it was the craziest atmosphere they've seen since the Big10 started and bemoaned the current state of their league because atmosphere was nothing like that weekend. So according to you, I haven't moved on from the Sioux nickname right?

No, not the same. NDSU is head and shoulders above UND in football(for now hopefully). In hockey, UND and UMN usually play exciting and competitive games with each team getting the upper hand at different times. Also, they both are usually top 10 in the country.

I'd guess It'll probably exceed 12k with the SRO this weekend. Biggest crowd in REA history perhaps?

Mismash got put on the "heavy line" in the 3rd period per Coach Berry with pogo and rhett so Id expect to see him there tonight. I'm also not gonna throw the towel in assuming this team will never click. It's been 3 games... don't need to jump off the bandwagon quite yet. Anyone who is surprised this team is taking time to find their identity was fooling themselves.

100% this ^ However, I think people are trying to keep expectations low so they're not disappointed. That said, UND steamrolls SLU to a sweep with matching 6-2 scores

It's not like we crushed UAA so not sure I follow why you wouldn't make any changes?

Nah, they'll be amped up for 1st series of the year to show what they can do. However, next weekend vs St Lawrence in the comfortable confines of The Ralph with Minnesota coming to town the following weekend... much more potential for a trap weekend.

I'll admit I wasn't a fan of the new script initially but they looked fine on the ice and honestly you hardly recognize the new script.

Really?! I can't remember a time I didn't watch a UND away game in Alaska from a crappy live stream on my computer. Have I been missing something?

I questioned Hoff on 1st line center but he at least looked pretty comfortable there tonight! Shaw had a rough game, Colton also made a really bad turnover. Gotta take care of the puck better. Flashes of what we have tho, so itll be fun to watch as the season progresses.

There's more reasons than just that.

The positive spin on this is no player is above giving anything less than 100% every single game. If they do, they will be benched quickly and replaced by a player willing to lay it all out there. They have a fantastic opportunity to pull together early as a team and create a strong identity. Also, there are 4 seniors and 7 juniors on this team so upper class leadership is very prevalent and should sustain us through any difficult stretches.

My hot take: This team will be similar to the 2010-11 team. They'll be deep, roll 4 lines, and have good goaltending.

I was referring to the main broadcast camera in this case. Not all cameras have cameras on the blue line. I just think there should be some standard of what resolution and distance from the place the camera has to be so you don't have referees making questionable judgement calls like in this case.

Yup, the rule should just be 'Offsides play can be overturned if conclusive evidence the player is offsides can be provided USING THE CAMERA DOWN THE BLUE LINE.' That'll eliminate the officials trying to separate pixels from a '90s-quality video camera 200 feet on the other side of the arena.

I feel like I get more excited for this game than most fans... good chance to see how the returners look after an offseason of getting stronger and see which freshmen flash. My first look at Nick Schmaltz was against 'Toba on a pass he received and brought to his backhand in the blink of an eye.
