Lammy seems to be the fan favorite for starting in net.

Now that is classic. I like that one. Real witty. Well guys hold down the fort I am off to Shoot Holes in the sky. Hum, its still Ducktober (or is it Noduckvember).

That should screw up the lines a bit. This sucks.

Yeah, if you listen to the rubes in Minnesota you would have thought UND was a bunch of classless hacks comprised of 25 year old Canadians. And where ever there is a fight UND is right in the middle of it.

I think that would be right let them play a few games to right the ship. UND schedule so far has been pretty stiff no cup cakes.

UND has some good players from the BCHL. Murray and Zajac are two that come to mind right away.

Here are the Goalie Numbers. 1 Jordan Parise .894 3.14 2- 2- 1 .500 34 Philippe Lamoureux .932 1.92 1- 0- 1 .750 30 Jake Brandt .895 2.40 1- 0- 0 1.000 Brandts and Parise Numbers aren't great/good. However, Jordon has played the most games and actually with too bad games under his belt his numbers could be worse. In fact a few good games and they will be right back up there were they are suppose to be. After all my posts against Briggs, actually Parise has Briggs type numbers at the present time. However, I would still rather have Parise in net than Briggs. I know Jordon will get better. I am sure the Game against Minnesota put him in a funk. Maybe it is time for Phil to be given a chance. That being said UND better get better this weekend and next, if they don't they will go 0-4, I am thinking a 3-1, 1-1-2 or 2-2 record would be exceptable.

UND doesn't have the same kind of team that it used to have. Realistically speaking UND is pretty young.

Brandt stays home. Jordon plays ok, but not great. Phil makes a second start. I am leaning toward Jordy and Lammy playing. Sorry Brandt. I think honestly the coachs are giving both Brandt and Parise to play themselves out of a starting position before Phil is given the job...

I would at least give him a season or two before we call for his head.

Yep I do. Most UND fans have seen it happen over the past 5-10 years. In one incident Don Adam once told the UND coachs after they called a penalty against Mike Commodor that lead to a power play goal that lost the game for UND apparently Donn Adam skated past the UND bench and said now were even. That should never happen in any game with any official. That official should have been fired on the spot. Todd Anderson's hatchet job the weekend before is more proof. Also look at the game he called when UND played B.C. the year before. They guy has it out for the Sioux. Personally I think the Refs in this league have knee pads and they just absolutely blow. So I think Zelkin is better than anything we have. It was the same when Wooger was the coach for the UofM. I honestly think Wooger got screwed by the ref when he was the coach. Any objective observer would probably say that. But with Lucia he gets all the breaks. Maybe it is because Woog worked the refs over. I think Blaiser did too. But a lot of times Blaiser had a point. Its hard to sit there and watch your players get rode up and down the ice by some gorilla drapped all over them.

Thats from all of the holes I shot in the sky this past weekend.

Its called having a crop of new rookies and losing two or three guys that were good at getting the puck out our own end. More specifically Lundy, Bucks and Parise. Those are some pretty good players. I am now convicned that it going take some time to get things going. I think UND will be ok, it seems that Zajac is a sniper that can score.

I think that is actually a nice way of looking at it and it doesn't seem too bad. We could be 2-4-2, 1-7 or 2-6.

I watched him in both games I didn't think he was that great, but he was consistane, called it both ways and called the hooks and holds. The problem with the refs in the "W" is there is too much bisased in the refing of the games and teams just can't get a fair shake. I think UND is one of those teams that always ends up on the short end of the stick. That being said, this new guys is a breath of fresh air and an improvement over Todd Anderson, Donn Adam, Greg Sheppard and any of the the Schmidts. On a side bar anyone know where Kleven surfaced?

I am not so sure of that one. However, I think their goalie is over rated.

I think UND will get it together. I said to my self if UND was .500 at the end of October UND will probably be ok. Well UND is 4-2-2 so thats better than .500. UND has lost a lot of fire power from last year so it will take a while to get going.

Hey Dumb Ass one was an empty net goal.

Its still early but I think he has played pretty solid in my book.

I am sure that Big Mike will be getting a call from the players union tomorrow telling him to carry the company line or something along those lines. I am sure that he is not the only one saying these things.. Good for Mike, I am getting sick of not having NHL hockey. I think it is a big wastet that they can't settle this thing. Hopefully more players will speak up and get this thing going. The players are the ones that are going to have to put pressure on their union to get the ball rolling. Good job Mike.

I would agree with that statement. I guess they can be all over you and I. Oh well.

For those that didn't know I was making light of Don Lucia. I am taking exception with his comments about UND and always being in the middle of the dirty stuff. Implying his team is a bunch of saints... I guess Lucia forgets that UofM players are masters of the face wash and after the wistle crap, or how about people kicking an opposing player with their skate... Rory just decided to make that Gopher player have to take ownership for his actions. Some were suggesting that Rory didn't allow this kid to back out is silly. Here is a novel idea if you don't want to get your butt kicked play with in the rules and stay away from the extra B.S. I am sure that Mike P will hand someone his @$$ before the season is over too...
