They are playing dirty: hooks, grabs, slashes, shots after and behind the play...that is not physical. I disagree with Sweeney and Scanlan and anyone else giving them props...no "North Dakota Nice" F them...they are a junk program and are playing like we should be in an arena with chickenwire instead of plexiglass

just a scrum with the helmets and gloves on...Knight got cheap shot after a good scoring attempt and some of the boys didn't like that, although knight held his own. just some 2 minute roughing minors...i'd like to see a brawl tonight... Robert Morris should go back where they belong and play junior colleges...they have really disgusted me tonight

This is why I like a Davidson in a game like tonight...he could go out and drop 'em with someone, fire up the boys, and be barely missed next weekend...he probably won't play anyway.

We need a big energy play: Malone, Trupp, Mario, Rodwell...come on..

These guys are clutch grab and hacking it up tonight. Bunch of cheap hacks...there coach is a db too. I am disgusted by both the talent level and style they are displaying. Their coach and AD should be embarrassed. This fight just adds to it. no more robert morris games...their program is a classless joke.

I get what you're saying, but we are only playing 4 games against top half WCHA teams: UNO and CC Tech, AA at home, SCSU...should not lose Goldy is a rival which means anything can happen UNO isn't surprising anyone any more

So Dell gets another start, and only change is "the lean" Joe Gleason in for "beef" Davidson. Cichy is playing well, but he doesn't fit on the checking "energy" line, but I don't think Gleason really does either.

I too loved the Jets team, however I was never a fan of the name...maybe due to my disdain for "Benny and the Jets" theme...

We got a lot of puck luck last night. We also scored on a ridiculous percentage of our shots...that won't happen tonight. Strong forecheck was key last night...we went up 3-0 through luck, shock and awe...that also won't happen in tonight's first period. home ice and last line change lets us establish the matchups which should lead to another convincing win, although not 8-0. Kristo is really getting close to busting out...he's getting chances...only a matter of time until those go in...I'd love to see Gregs come back and Danny bust out come February, March and April...it will be a nice boost. Knight continues to play solid, solid hockey. Malone, Trupp and Frattin are the best line in the WCHA, if not the country...sorry Connelly, Connelly and Fontaine I give Eids the start tonight: let's have Dell fresh and coming off two shutouts to play the Gophs on Friday.

I like the Nordiques...it fits with out northern theme...has precedent in hockey... The University of North Dakota Nordiques

I heard the same on Jason...which really sucks brett is practicing again, so he will be back

This game doesn't count in the WCHA, even a loss (while hurting us slightly in the PWR) is not devastating. The focus has to be winning the WCHA, finishing strong at the Final Five and going into the NCAAs loaded for bear. We are almost a certainty to make the NCAAs, so getting healthy for the second half run is key...I'll happily have Hexy and Gregs recoup while we play the HOF game and Robert Morris if they are healthy come March/April when we need them.

I think that two word names are a must for cadence with the two words of North Dakota... What about the Dust Devils...you could make a cool logo out of that, it fits the prairie, and is two words... Logo could be a mean looking devil coming out of a tornado...Devils for short...

yep, and the final five is the national championship...just ask any Gopher fan wandering around St Peter street in March

Or an even bigger er smaller BC stud...Brian Gionta

wasn't that Blake Wheeler, not Toni Lucia?

I hope you're right...I'd love to see Kristo bust out in the second half...maybe a hatty against the Goofs

Not quite sure what you mean there... I think Danny Kristo has a ton of natural ability and some sick skills; I do sorta see some regression on his part. I thought he looked best 5 on 5 right after the WJC last year...

Is there a developing player issue right now with Danny Kristo? We better be careful before Montreal labels us the next Golden Gophers...I mean Jonathan Toews excepted. But in all seriousness, is this still the right place for Kristo to develop? Is the style not suited to him? I always think of him being an ideal QMJHL type player; He had a great rookie year statistically, but this year the points just aren't coming.

Agree, and we rarely attacked the offensive zone with numbers and speed...the few times we did we got decent scoring chances. I keep thinking about the fact that we found a way to sweep on the road without two first line forwards...you take two top end forwards off most teams in this league and they don't go and sweep MSU on the road. We finish the first half in first in the WCHA by two points, we have the top goal scorer in the nation. I can live with our start We also have the most wins in the country having played the toughest schedule in college hockey

They were pretty sick...They skated with Erik Ness who also played a little D1 for UMD...might be the only nodak high school line ever to send all 3 to D1...although i'm not sure who potulny and irmen skated with...

450 points divided by four brothers...two sets? There are a few in Sioux lore- Johnsons and Panzers and Hoogsteens for sure.....Burgraffs, DePieros, almost any brother set with the Panzers or Johnsons...Greg and Corey Johnson has 309 career points, the Panzers had 372, the Hoogsteens had 267, Burgraffs 199, DePieros 200 So the real question is what two sets of brothers had 681 points?!

B2 ripped me off...can't get or stay connected. It worked for me vs Omaha Sounds like we're sucking anyway...better get up, these bottom dwellers like to beat WCHA powers...

Really?? I am surprised, as we usually agree on things... As a double Gopher, but die hard Sioux fan; I HATE the rouser.

Ignorant, disappointed fans who've had seven or eight beers can put a negative tone on the weekend...all in all, I have a blast, I go every year, and I will go every year.
