Good for you. I despise NDSU. I will make fun of them with any chance I get lol.

*cough* FCS *cough* lol Yes, yes... I know, so are we, but not in hockey

Man, I love it. Just another feather in our cap and another recruiting tool. How mad is NDSU, right now?!?!

I absolutely think he will, too. There's been so much juggling at this point, why not, right? Putting our best players together isn't a bad idea.

He was excellent. If he plays like that and we get Jost back 100%, this team is going to be just fine.

I hope he was kidding. If not, what an asinine comment lol.

Oh jeebus, just stop. Boeser was phenomenal on Saturday and has played most of the year with an injury that required FRICKIN' SURGERY. You're sitting here criticizing him for not being a leader? You go have surgery and come back and lead your work team and see how things go. Cripes.

Friday: Gersich, Saturday: Jost

I LOVE that second line. Great idea, Yzer.

He'll get some PP tonight, for sure. Agreed, though. He's gonna have to pop a greasy one, more than likely.

Cam is the better option, that's all I'm saying. Kid works his sack off, but he just gives up too many rebounds and gets out of position a lot, IMO. He's our guy tonight.

Crap. Good. Double crap. Not because Rinks is no good, but just because Cam isn't 100%. Rinks makes me nervous.

Ok, so you aren't saying because he's not good enough to score, got it. I think he's starting to create that space more and more and that's coming from his effort level. Him hitting pipes and generating chances shows he's close. Could be one of those things where he gets one to go and he builds off that. He's got the talent.

Really? Why not? Didn't he lead the team in shots recently? Had two pipes last weekend. Kid is absolutely close and has a rifle shot. I think it's pretty clear he's not 100%. Shot has looked much better, but he's just not getting space. I think he's got something lower going on.

Absolutely. His effort level has been great over the last month or so. He's working hard and I appreciate that.

I used to rag on Wilkie for his lack of effort while slumping scoring wise. He's gone to work, now and I want him to get one so bad. Confidence builder, for him and with his shot power, he gets going, he's gonna be a big time boon to this team.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see him sit since we have a bye week next.

Kindly, leave.

I really, really don't want to play Duluth.

Anyone see the NSCC game with UMD/Clown? I was not impressed with them when we swept, but I have barely seen them since. I know the Huskies are in desperation mode like us, and frankly, they probably "need" these games more than we do, but I think the boys are sick of their inconsistency. Get the Ralph rockin' early and get the Pups on the run. 5-2 UND ... I think Jost will play (no insight, just a hunch) so I'll give him one, Boeser (buddy, we need you -- find those legs), Hoff, Shaw and Gersich.

With a lot of opportunity for wins in our remaining schedule, a sweep would be so big. SO much momentum

Seems fair. Tough to call anything but a split when we've been so inconsistent.

HAHAHAHA well played!!!

I feel like the 14-15 guys had one thing that this year's squad needs desperately ... leadership. They had a group of seniors who had been through it all and had four years of buying in to the life at UND. They had ups and downs, not just the ups like the freshmen from last year. Those seniors had seen it all.

In a do-or-die 1 game and out setting? You definitely cannot. We get in the tournament and we have as good a chance of ANYONE in the tournament, regardless of seed, of getting to Chicago. We've all said it a bunch, we've seen this team at its best and at that level, we can compete with anyone. Toss in a home crowd in a raucous atmosphere, we have a d@mn good shot.
