It's not just him, it's the stuff he just said. Pointing at the other guy of the "aisle" and saying, you're wrong and you're dumb. If we all just settle the eff down and let each other have a flipping opinion, we'd all be better off. It's the constant polarization of the "Sioux Forever" and the "Hawks Only" groups that causes pain.

Sorry man.... this crap is also what is hurting our University....

We've beat the dead horse that was currently beating the dead horse.

We all have our Anti-Big 10 bias

Fair point, Sic. We'll see. With that said, I am supremely confident of the D in front of him. I am expecting DeRidder to be a very, very good addition.

What's unproven about him? That he hasn't played at UND? The Big 10 is a mediocre defensive conference, but a solid offensive one. His numbers are pretty good playing against teams that are absolutely gunning night in and night out. Again, I know for a fact he's never played behind a defense he is going to play behind this season. There's been nothing to indicate he can't be a solid, solid tendy for UND.

DeRidder is very much a proven goaltender. Kid has seen A LOT of rubber in his NCAA career. He will also have the best defense he's ever had in front of him. Feels like he's even more proven than Cam was in 2016. He was the supposed Achilles heel that year, too.

I am not one to ever say this, but this is a team that has every piece of the puzzle.

Yep, yep. And for context, since 2000-2001, we've had: 3 captains -- 9 times 4 captains -- 9 times 5 -- 3 times 6 - 1 time (2016) Definitely not uncommon anymore to have more than 3.

We had five last year? Senden - C, Frisch - A, Sandy - A, Hain - A .... who am I missing? EDIT: Started with Jasper.... and added Ford when Hainer went down. Also, in 2016, we had SIX letters, not five, so I think your premise is spot on, Siouxforce. I don't see it as a problem whatsoever.

Pretty cool for Sendo. First time in UND history that a player has worn a letter for three seasons.

I mean, when the most recent example of us doing this many letters was 2016, I am willing to give it a shot.

Nope. But again, why is it a big deal?

2016 worked out ok. I don't see why it's a bad thing. Frankly, I think they could have had two more, if they wanted, in Jammer and Kleven.

For those who haven't seen: C - Sendo A - Hain A - Frisch A - Judd A - Gaber

Client/doctor protected. You'll never know. LOL definitely not a doctor, but I did stay at Holiday Inn Express last night.

I choose black tar heroin, myself

Bitch about it on the internet and feel sorry for ourselves because our lives have not turned out the way we expected and UND hockey is the only thing in the world we base our happiness on??????

I know they just got their whole team there this week. Well, about 10 days ago, so it's still a lot of juggling. I'll see what I can find out. EDIT: Apparently not a lot of on ice this week as they are doing off-ice testing, Ironman stuff this week.

Was told today that we'll get captains next week. They haven't voted yet.

I just just know what to tell you.

Yeah, how DARE they like only hockey. What a strange hill to die on.

You're right. We can't. Moving on.

Did we sell out the national championship? What an odd question. What are you trying to achieve here? Could UND fill an outdoor arena with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, etc.? I absolutely think so. If you don't, so be it. What a silly argument.
