You can't have that which I worked hard for and earned...that is pretty much UND hockey...and NOT Bernie

Earl Anderson's kid

Parise notched a hattrick and a helper in his first college game vs Canisius He encored that with another 4 pt night (2G and 2A) vs Michigan the next night Nothing like 5G and 3A to open your college career!

Good motivation for the boys to blow some beavers out the zamboni doors

and winning draws on the pk is also huge. We have not been good there this year.

I've got a picture now!

Anybody else have the webcast up only to have a black screen...I realize its 7 minutes to puck drop, but...

or what I like to call...nothin' but NoDak

good news is that it looks like that kid got right back up. Did he have the puck and dump it right before contact or was he away from the puck?

Yeah, I disagree. I can't imagine benching that kid. On the radio last weekend it sounded like that second line was doing some tic tac toe passing and generating lots of good looks. If he doesn't put in the effort, he and the Finn might trade top6/bottom 6 roles.

Thx, but I live a long way from MN these days

From that video, it is hard to tell if it is shoulder high to the chest (legal) or to the head (illegal); although in the new world order you have to play at the puck...

thanks!

Any way to get the game online? ANyone know a source? If its broadcasting on TV, it has to be somewhere on the "inter-web"

I am more excited than I've been in a few years. This team's depth of skill as well as physical constitution reminds me of the Pony Express year-

He'll deliver...name the last #1 pick forward for us that didn't deliver...you can't count JT Miller who didn't show up... Oshie, Toews, Parise, Stafford, Zajac...all had pretty solid individual and team performances

I was just about to post the same thing : )

What is up with St Clair? Is he hurt?

Duncan, Bochenski come to mind... Kozek had a hammer, but it wasnt a quick release.

So, he's a first rounder- so that does mean he is that level- although tough to compare to guys who dominate at the highest level...nobody is Toews right now. That said, he's a two-year player, possibly 3, but likely 2.

I agree that Pogo has top six potential. However, his NHL ceiling is bottom six, and I think it makes sense to play to that- our third line gets major minutes, and they could put up big numbers. Other teams do not have a Chyzyk or a Pogo on their third lines. This is how we win. That said, I would not be disappointed if there is chemistry with say a top line of LJ, Jewels and Pogo I always like having a talented second line that is "protected" in other words, put the youngsters out together and let them develop aka Boesser, Schmaltz and Gersich you could easily swap Wilkie and Pogo as chemistry develops

Alright- Top 6: LJ, Jewels, Schmaltz, Boesser, Wilkie, Gersich For sure in lineup bottom 6: St Clair, Chyzyk, Pogo (love this as a third line btw- dominant 3rd line- (even hockey against a first line, plus against all others) Rest of bottom 6: up for grabs- Olson and Simo have a track record. Rhett and the Fin have good cred/potential D corps is legit: For sure every day: LaDue, Stecher, Ausmus, Poolman, Thompson

Is the USPHL the "penal league"? Shaw was over age, I think that he was eligible last year; and as such teams weren't as worried about someone taking him off the board. I'm guessing he is on a number of teams' radars as a free-agent to watch develop at UND.

"generational talent" is a bit overblown isn't it... They didn't say that about Toews, and he's done okay

Toews is just ridiculous. He is always playing against the other teams' top units- either their best offensive line or best defensive line, and he simply gets the job done better than the group he is out against. What a treat he is to watch, and I love the fact that we can claim a little ownership of him...
