Where are Randklev and Stratton?

SOLD

I’m interested, will you call me? 701-541-0386

CHN shows the UND 18-19 roster with him on it, it also has Wolanin and Gersich, but when it shows recruits Randklev is not amongst them. I was searching for a roster and that was the only place I found one. It shows too many defensemen, but minus Wolanis and move Johnson to forward and they got that right. If you take away Gersich and Huber, move Johnson to forward, they have an extra guy which would be Randklev. Was just surprised to see his name there for this season and not listed with recruits. CHN must have it wrong.

When was Randklev added to 2018-2019 roster? Thought he was coming next year.

Unscientific statistic: average pairwise rank of all teams in each conference, NCHC average is 13th, BIG ave is 14th, Hockey East ave is 30th, ECAC ave is 33rd, WCHA ave is 37th, Atlantic ave is 42nd and independents ave is 53rd (Arizona State. What is interesting when you look at some of the teams that are often contending for NCAA's are not in the picture. Each conference other than NCHC and BIG have some very weak teams.

Who the hell did Colgate tie? Brown, Clarkson, Dartmouth, Princeton, Rensselear, Bentley, Canisius, Holy Cross........? Hardly a WCHA or NCHC level!

I am as disappointed as everyone else. The NCHC is without argument the best conference in the NCAA., but you all know that. We are not as good as St Could this year or Denver. We are as good as the other five and have played up with the Clowns and Denver. I am not going to try to give stats but we must have set a record for ties. I am not predicting that we win a banner (St Cloud must already have the one for most ties), but we are capable of playing with any team in the country. There is still time for some surprises, maybe not gong to knock anyone big out of it, but could happen. They've got us outnumbered, our goalie's not that good, but....forgot what I was going to say next

Don't feel too bad. Four of us got together last night, we're in FL for the winter, and one guy had a WCHC account, so he streamed to his TV. Both audio and video were terrible to start the game and the audio and video were not in sync most of the evening. We decided to just shut off the sound, listened to Tim and watched the not too bad video. Part of the game the radio was ahead of the TV but the latter part of the game the video was ahead of the radio. Even the WHCA audio was off the video. Makes us realize how good it is to have the equipment that the Ralph has. Tonight will be much better!

I thought Frank Serratore absolutely nailed it with his comments. He did not act like a whiner or sore loser, he made the point that his team got hosed. AF is not as skilled or speedy as DU and many fans who have not experienced the reffing advantage that DU has received this year will think that Frank had to have his boys clutch, grab and poke more than normal just to try to keep pace. I too lost every once of respect I had for Monty on the weekend UND played there in November. It is hard to like opposing players or coaches, but Monty WAS one I actually liked. All coaches should stand up for their bench, some do it with dignity like Serratore, Blais or Berry and then their is Montgomery. That series and the series DU had vs the Clowns a week previous put Motzko way ahead of Monty in the most likely opposing NCHC coach to succeed category.

I don't love Motzko, but I hate him less than Montgomery

Who was Plant drafted by? How do you think they feel about Monty playing an injured player?

The Smith penalty was enough for NCHC to take a look at it’s officials. Add on Monty’s influence to both that penalty and the disallowed goal, they should reprimand Monty too! The worst part of Monty’s weekend is that he brought back a player who was obviously still injured and exposed him to further injury! We all assume that UND has been too cautious when our players are injured, they are never allowed on the ice in game situation until 100%! If I was a parent or friend of a future DU recruit or player I would be outraged that a coach would do that to a player on his team.

I just checked and the Manitoba game vs Sioux is to be on NCHC tv at 7:07 PM

There is statically a chance that only the top 11 in the current pairwise will make the tourney, unlikely but possible. Canisius, Ohio State, Quin, BC and St Clown are not in the top 16 but could theoretically win their perspective conference tourneys. Obviously if the clowns are in the Sioux are out no matter what, but assume that the other four make it the Sioux then must be in the top 12! Sweeping the clowns should put them in the top 11 or better, one would think! Of the five teams mentioned it is a strong possibility that two or three will make it. No one would be surprised to see BC win their tourney. The BIG FU is a toss up. Quin is down but not out. Canisius is tied for first before the tourney.

Your 50 to my 20?

I say he does, but I need some odds!

Rinks will give us a chance to win, he deserves more credit than he is given.

Winning the world juniors is an impressive feat but not as impressive as winning the NCAA frozen four. Will any of those boys be here next year or the year after? A great freshman player or two, in this case 7, can help win the FF but it takes a team of talented and gritty players with experienced role playing leadership to win it all. You need the guys who will dive in front of a puck more than the ones who can dangle the puck.

Before the game I wrote down the numbers of their big line so I could keep track. They are no doubt good and skilled, but they were not the "best line in the country" as they seemed to be billed. The Hobey committee should watch a replay of this game before they give #21 the prize. Maybe consider Pogo. I kept noticing their number 9 more than the numbers 21, 15 and 27 of whom I thought Foo was their best guy! I think if you had taken Jost and Boeser (both healthy) with Foo instead of his normal line mates and they played against us yesterday, we would have had a loss or a closer game. Take nothing away from Pogo, who I think is UND's best player, he always does what he is asked and never fails to excel.

Great quote, gives you some respect for their coach. At times UND controlled the puck like it was a bunch of dads playing against their kids. Pogo played like a big kid playing against squirts.

I am just glad we have played somewhat meaningless games so far, they are all important in the PW, but so far the competition has not made for exciting hockey. If I had to watch a close game against Denver or any other NCHC/good team with the streams we have received so far this year I would demand a refund from NCHCTV! Last night sucked so bad I turned it off and listened on the radio.

Grouix should become a Sioux, it is only natural! I hope he can figure that out!

50 from me, it would be fun to see EGF, Roseau, or other regional arenas in the running next year!

I have watched the Sioux for 45 years, I can never remember a Sioux player who was such a whiner as Anus(a). Either they played with pain or they stepped out of the way and let someone else do their job (next man up). I do remember more than once someone going to the locker room, getting stitched up and maybe even getting a shot of something to kill the pain and come back to play! But never to continually run back and forth to the locker room (theatrics) while on national television which was show time! It is easy for me to say he is a big baby, but what other conclusion is there?
