Yup, good points. Can JJ play center?

Yeah I'd agree with that. I didn't realize but we actually have some strength up the left side next year!

IMO Bowen and Yon will be top 6 forwards next year(at worst top 9) and yes of course Bowen plays over Simo

I hate so much the term 'with Hak's recruits', these players were recruited by Berry too(probably spoke with him more than Hak) and chose to stay on board after Berry was announced as the head coach. They're as much Berry's recruits as Hak's.

As much as people pile on Cam, it'll be nice to have a solid sr. netminder because our other option would be throwing Tomek into the deep end and praying he swims.

If you wouldn't mind, please drop all the Duluth fans off in Des Moines and tell them it's Chicago

Ah, that makes sense. If true that it came out of the league, then not UND's fault.

You can't? Presumably they were the only ones that knew, hence the leak.

Yeah I'd rather not find out my athletic career at UND was ending via twitter.

I'm glad you're in no position to make this decision, what a terrible idea

Well put

Gonna agree to disagree, feels like you're making more of it than it is. Using words like hero, selfless, crusader seem extreme and were never used by Hakstol or anyone else explaining him. I'm not arguing whether or not the women's team had a legitimate gripe(don't have enough information) but, to me, Hakstol supporting their cause isn't a terrible thing. Especially if he has more information about it than I do.

The easy thing for Hak to do would have been to keep quiet about it which is why no one of consequence has spoken outside of a generic NHLPA and a vague statement that the men's team may boycott as well. People with the Flyers have connections in USA hockey as I'm sure Hakstol does and he won't hold onto that 7 figure job or gain any job security by 'feeding his ego' as you claim. In fact, this probably does more to hurt Hakstol as far as future job prospects in the league by upsetting other GMs with close connections to USA hockey. I don't see how him supporting the initiative(whether or not you agree with it) with a tweet is so terrible. No one's saying pin a Purple Heart on the guy, are they?

I believe 'slippery slope' is the term Just like bubble hockey!

I've also heard the argument that while we're reviewing offsides after goals why not go all the way back and review all dump-ins to see if the player actually gained the red line? Could be a really fun exercise of 'is the puck actually on his stick?'

You are correct, some fans handed it over the glass for the players.

Excited to see what you come up with!

You asked a question and I answered it. Not interested in a pissing match. Go Sioux

Yes he did in a press conference and no I'm not going to go find it.

Never change gfhockey... never change

How'd you know that?!

I've never seen a team luckier to get out of a regional than UMD in Fargo. Ohio State, while completely outplaying Duluth in every sense of the word, must have had 10 chances in OT to end their season and failed miserably every time. Pulling for Harvard but the first 2 teams I pulled for(UND then Air Force) didn't work out well. Third times a charm, right?!

Careful petey, we're not allowed to discuss this play anymore according to Kim Jong... err I mean 'SJHovey' But at the risk of being chastised for discussing the most important hockey play of our season on this hockey message board... yes, I agree that the linesman was in great position to see down the line and they had been calling offsides pretty tightly all game from what I could tell. It's one of those instances I think that Sicatoka's suggestion to look at how much the offsides in question actually led to the goal(similar to skate in the crease) would be a welcome change.

She didn't respond to anyone but me. And I never once called a ref a bozo or a clown... at least not on this board Seriously though, you think the offsides review process and/or the offsides play from Friday should be off limits for discussion?
