The kid loves to pass. But, the coaches are obviously getting this in his head that he needs to shoot. Lately he's done a lot better job of getting to the net using his speed and skill. My point is, since he's playing a slower (not slow, but slower than UND) team, he'll have a bit more space to drive the net. I think he pots a few this weekend. Confidence is huge for a kid like Schmaltz. If he gets one on a big shot, he'll shoot more and naturally, score more.

Alright, I'm bored... So, who has the biggest weekend? Who breaks out and starts a big stretch run? I think the answer is N. Schmaltz for both. Playing a big, not overly fast team, if Nick can find some space .... giddy up. I'll say a 3 goal, 2 assist weekend.

Friday is on CBS Sports. Saturday just NCHC.tv

I'm guessing nothing changes soon, honestly. All of our D-men are playing too well right now to lose any of them.

Awww jeees, cmon. Lol we're fans.Short for fanatics. Its our job to speculate and prognosticate let the important stuff be left to the players and coaches.

Thing that I think has been a common thread we've heard from the players is that they have yet to "play their best hockey." Two things about this... 1) We have six losses this year and have yet to "play our best hockey." That's exciting. 2) We need to get to that level soon and very soon. Getting close to one-and-done time. That's scary. But, if we do .....

I would never. Even if the house goes down, those suckers are safe lol.

$1,001? I could sell the two Frozen Faceoff tickets I have locked away in my fireproof safe hahaha.

Agreed. We'll have every advantage and frankly, don't have an excuse not to get to Boston. We are one of the best teams in the country, if not the best and we will be essentially at home. So pumped.

ABSOLUTELY. Teams who win a national title don't sweep anyone in the tournament. One game at a time. We are good enough to win one game against anyone in the country on any single night.

Let's get it... Big sweep comin! 4-1... N. Schmaltz, Mark x2, Gaarder.

Hahaha good lord.

Classless POS

What was said?

Oops lol. Fixed it. Sorry Ox

Tonight's lines 3-16-15 29-9-27 28-8-17 21-13-14 4-24 5-6 20-2 31 33 30

Read my mind, Oxbow. 3-2 .... N. Schmaltz, Mark and Chyz. Game winner from Chyz with 7 to play.

Kind of funny they compared his style of play to that of Kyle Okposo in light of our current conversation lol

I was thinking 2045 lol

< Toews, Parise, Oshie, Zajac Look at the TEAMS of those players. Congrats on having the best player on god awful teams... Crappy Isles; Crappy Isles, Sabres' (good Isles now led by Tavares), Crappy Maple Leafs, Crappy Jets and Crappy Panthers...

Kristo, Oshie, too.

WAS a good coach *pokes bear*

So don't you think he may develop his players a little less than a better coach? I'm missing something...

Other than Phil Kessel... and even then, go ahead... I'd like to know why I am dead wrong? I'll take Toews, Oshie, Parise, Zajac over Kessel, Johnson, Vanek, Okposo anyday and twice on Sunday. I believe NHL agrees. Also, 14? Isn't UND at 17 this season? Even if I'm mistaken, my point still stands. I'll take UND's NHLers over Minny's all day.

Oh wow. That's terrible. Any word if he'll stay in Grand Forks? Prayers and thoughts to the Montgomery family.
