Even Parise didn't go straight to the show...although that was likely lock-out driven. I think Red is frustrated that he just lost a key contributor for his team next year and realizes its going to be tough to return to winning ways. Its the nature of the college hockey landscape. I think that Red is probably correct, but at the same time I agree with the posters here saying you just keep it to yourself.

I have DU winning it all, so while good through today, I'm toast

I despise Miami and hope they never win a game again/ enjoy the summer of golf and Blasi is a dbag- #worsethangophers

I don't read much anymore- I did read... Dostoyevsky and Dickens (among my favorites) Crime and Punishment and A Tale of Two Cities stand out... I had to read a bunch of books in 9 years of under grad and professional school... I think not having a personal opinion built on knowledge and data points is dangerous... I think most people are idiots...they can think of me what they wish...

Dissenting and venting is not being a fair weather fan! I would guess some of the most die-hard and loyal supporters of UND hockey voice their frustrations and disappointment on this board. I certainly do. Being a fan does not mean that you approach the team as infallible or that you must cheerlead... is your avatar seriously a tramp stamp? Not trying to be a dick...

not that my W2 is that big...nor do I hide any money from the IRS...Snowden...you watching this board?

I heard the Leafs do

I don't want my W2 anywhere near the public domain...GFHockey...watch out for the IRS my brother...especially if you're living large without any tax shelters!

I love you on this board my man- upper six means pushing 7 though...nobody's pulling that out of the fields without equity- I'm guessing you mean pushing $200k

what song will you choose to die to?

To me, work on the ice is about finishing checks, stops and starts, winning races and loose puck battles... Being physically spent on each shift. Here's an example of what vexes me: The perfect lane doesn't open up, so the D chip it off the glass or the forwards dump it in- yes, it prevents you from being scored on, but it also causes a loss of possession. Now with guys named Zajac, Stafford, Oshie, Toews, Frattin, Kristo, Knight, Grimaldi...there was enough God given talent to score goals in that system...not sure how that translates this year. I am supporting the team and enjoying the ride- no big expectations- would love to see us come out gunning to blow QU out the Zamboni doors!

I think the boys were stressed out and holding their sticks too tight. Winning means "playing" and playing means that you are having fun. Fast and loose is how hockey needs to be played...not worrying about making mistakes...and obsessing over details. I hate the approach of winning that is based on "making fewer mistakes than your opponent." How about "making more awesome plays than your opponent." I think this might be exactly why we win a ton of games, but not the big one under Hak...the recipe of detail and not making mistakes vs flow and making plays. Top Gun analogy: Hak is Iceman and trains the team to be like Iceman...Dean Blais is Maverick (ironic given the mascot in Omaha) Disclaimer: I am in no way calling for Hak's head or a coaching change with this statement

I live in Minneapolis, but happened to have a trip planned that overlapped with Friday. Still, I almost went down and scalped tickets for Saturday for my kids and I- so glad that I did not. This is the first time that I haven't been to the Final Five or Final Faceoff in over a decade- I'm pleased that I saved my money!

I have a feeling that Jewels is more banged up than anyone is letting on...

I was thinking of Murphy playing over Simonson

Powerplay will be the decider...need to really work on finding the open man- I'd really rather see us play an overload rather than an umbrella.

Murphy did play well enough IMO as well...he also brings an offensive upside (although we have yet to see it at the NCAA level)...it might be worth it for that upside to play him on the 4th line...

I love that look

I am freaking out a bit...same station, 2.5 hours between start of Gophers and start of Sioux...that leaves no room for error and no room for OT... We might get stuck watching the end of a Gopher-Bulldog tilt and missing the first period of UND...

They had me believing that we could win any and every game we played in, even the ones that we did not. I've been enjoying this team's ride, but I have never felt that we were dominant and marching to the title...our record didn't align with the product I was watching...but it worked out and was fun...Zane gives us a chance. This team lacks skill, we saw what happens when a team with less than average skill among playoff teams shows up with less than average playoff intensity and a less than average playoff power play...you lose two games and score a whopping goal per game.

remember when our teams had "big lines"?

eating oreos is more entertaining and satisfying than watching our favorite hockey team

in my grocery store I saw #15 on a milk carton too

He did leave, that was Larry Ferguson playing D in a #24 uniform
