I would be satisfied with a Sweep by the Tigers.

Hence, Wisconsin could drop out of the Top three as a result of having the toughest schedule. We will see. Believe it or not UND only has about 22 games left to see how this plays out.

None of us are in practice, so do we really know he wasn't given a shot? Brandt is done after this season, he has gotten his chance and now its time for Lammy and Jordan. These kids are the future of UND hockey, we know what the past brought us with Brandt. Lack of concentration, sub standard periods of goaltending. If anyone is confused rewind to the Final Five against UofM. Remember in 2001 when Blais lost confidence in Andy Kohlar Blaiser went out and recruited another goalie, hence Sievebida showed up. That in my opinion is not what I would call an endorsement of Brandt ability. If I had been Jake I might have left after that season. So I am not shocked that he isn't playing. Besides in Brandts 4 years of hockey I haven't seen him come close to the displays that Lammy has put up. if Brandt would have play in Wisconsin it would have been 10-1 both nights. I think Jordon starting over Brandt last season in the NCAA's was an indication of what is to come. Remember Zach refered to him as the starting goalie.

By George I think he has got it. Championships are won in March and April not at the begining of the season. Funny how we used to hear this all last season.

The way I read it Drew Staffords Injury is one of them nagging injuries that isn't very serious just painful and that he is day to day and wants to play this weekend.

You have a point: I think the WCHA league schedule years favors some teams more than other teams because of the unbalanced schedule. For instance UND has Denver (2), UMD (2) and UofM (2), Giving UND an easies schedule. Toughest games in my opinioin are Wisconsin (home) and C.C. (away), UMD, the Sioux ussually play well there so I am not worried about it as much as the other two series. The rest of UND series are against lesser teams in my opinion. (4) UAA, (2) MSU-M (2) SCSU.

Ironically the liberal bias in the media is because a lot of it starts from the East Coast. Hum, one of the most liberal rags is in the same town as BU, BC, NE and Harvard...

Actually I didn't know that UND had 5 ties already. That should read 9-5-2

Here is my question to Sioux fans, I am not picking a fight I am trying to understand the logic: 1. Why should Hak chance it and take Lammy and Jordon out of the line up to give Brandt another chance. I am not saying he should never play but both have done well in my opinion. Lammy obviously done better. I could see Brandt playing against Canisus. 2. In the past others have criticized the coaching staff for having 3 goalie rotation where no one gets confortable. 3. The early season loses have put UND behind the 8 ball and now they are starting to gell and win game be it games they should win. UND really can't afford to lose many more games and take chances with the play in game.

Welcome to North Dakota, if you not making your way out of the bar about 1245 am you going to get thrown out of the bar. I remember that from my college days. So much for being open till 100 am eh?

Thank you. I had my Kelly Green cover glasses on today. Go Fighting Sioux

I want Phil on Friday. The kid is a stud between the pipes.

I missed the one about talking dirty to chicks.

I am hoping that Dale Lennon doesn't get picked off by a Division one team. The man can recruit football players.

I agree, lets get er done next weekend against the UAA sea chickens and then go into duluth and get a point or two, hell even three or four if possible. UMD isn't very good right now and they did manage to lose to SCSU. I think top three is fine this season as winning the McNaughten has proved to be an anchor most season anyways.

Maybe you should be banned from the sight for being a horse rear end on an opposing teams site. Incase you haven't noticed dumb @$$ This is a UND site, that talks about UND hockey. Hence the name Siouxsports.com. If you spewed rethoric like this on the POI you would be removed from the site never to return, without even a second look. So I would urge Jim to consider giving him the hook... No you didn't take me to task and you will never be capable of taking me to task. Go away Slappy.

Slap Shot ( we will call you Slappy from now on) first off I would never work for CNN I have morals and I am a red state republican. IMHO Clinton News Network is not a credible network, simply a tabloid network. I am pretty sure that its on in every UofM college professors office though or their second choice next to NPR/MPR. Second. I get all of my news from Fox News. Thirdly; Slappy go back POI if you want a UofM love feast. Your getting none from me. UofM gophers are UND rivals and you will never see me congratulate UofM's fans when they (that has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen) nor will I give the team props on or after a win. Nor will I give any props to your stupid team. I could care less the Poultony Brothers play/played at the UofM. I am sick and tired of the GF Fish Wrapper covering that stupid story. This is UND country. I despise UofM and the arrogance that surrounds that program. I remember when UofM couldn't win under the Clowned Prince of the WCHA Doug Woog. All we heard from the prince and their fans was that UND cheats using 25 year old Canadians. But also UofM was really a truly great team with its all Minnesota boys on it. But in addition UND wins were less impressive because of the cheating by using the more seasoned experienced Canadian players. Funny now there are two kids from Canada wearing the M on their shirts and no one is complaining. Add three ND kids and an Austrian. I guess UofM sold its soul for an NCAA tourney title. I wonder if these Canadian kids feel like sell outs to their fellow countrymen. I can

Briggs didn't look very good against Denver in Denver a few weeks back. But like my brother said, you have lots of offense mediocre (sp) goaltending doesn't matter.

I don't think I ever said the GOOOPhers weren't good. I said that I am not convinced that they are going to win the whole ball of wax this season. There area lot of games. There are a lot of good teams too. I remember UofM giving up about 7 goals last weekend to the Pios in Denver. Also, If I remember my post (since I wrote it) I remember sayin that UND started out in simular fashion last season, tearing it up. I also said that Championships are won in March and April, not October, November and December. If you read my post further I compared its UND's season last year. They cruise out to a lead in the WCHA, win a lot of games score some goals and then wahla, they end up going into a slump. I am not saying they will, I hope they do though. Beside UND has beat UofM this year so big hairy deal. Another tidbit, ussually the WCHA champ doesn't always win the NCAA. If I remember right the last couple of winners were like in third or fourth in the league. Denver might have even been 5th. Enjoy the season. Lastly, I don't remember it being critical to give the gooophers props, they are hated rivals.

Karl G. has off nights and he still won games and he lost some games. After last nights game I don't think the UND coaches have to panic about Lammy's play... I blame the team in front of him for giving up three PP goals.

I have a feeling UND is going to get hosed next weekend because Pitt State has the better record. I think UND can shut their offense down but they are going to have to score some points next weekend.

I don't know about you but I am pleased with the game the Blow Dogs are playing right now. I have neve thought Reichmuth could win the big games when he needed to. I think that is why Johnson is getting more of the starts. I think UMD is finding out that their Hobey Baker award winner from last season was pretty important to their success.
