Goon

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...

She is the coach of the Gopher men's hockey team. Apparently she thinks hockey is played with skirts and not ever a rough game.

Funny how the Gopher parents think their kids are choir boys. I guess the cheap face washes are ok, but rough play isn't. I am sick and tired of the Gopher coach Lucy and the rest of the Minnesota rubes that think UND is a cheap team and UofM is so clean. The Gopher players ran their mouth all weekend and Rory Shut it for them. If you put your hand in another players face and give them a face wash you deserved to have your @$$ beat.

Especially in front of the Ref while your already two men down. Thats not good.

Yep Rory Pumelled him yard...

Didn't UND only have one game against UofM a couple of years ago? And no game in the Ralph. I thought that happened in 2002

No rube, I was saying that UND's attitude sucked and I was putting it into perspective. You seemed to not sobered up from the weekend yet? UND has been outshot in almost every game so far, were lucky to be 4-1-1. If we play the way we did against a good team ie, Duluth its going to be ugly...

State of hockey UND is much beter in goal than Minnesota is, UofM has two really good goalies in Parise and Lammy, you have one goalie to count on. Briggs, yep Minnesota is awesome in net.

I noticed it too. Brandt look like he pulled a leg muscle.

Tonight the arean was as dead as I have ever seen it. I bet there are funeral homes that are noiser than the Ralph was tonight.

I would not want to be a player next week in practice. I am pretty sure that UND is going to have some intense practices. If I was the coach I would had them out doing Herbies after the game. Send them, Again, send them again. The effort tonight was lack luster.

I don't think that losing 3-2 on saturday night wouldn't be too hard to stomach, losing 6-0 with no effort from the boys is unexceptable. I think both teams will be fine this season.

What the heck is this and come up with one example...

I honestly Don't see UofM wiping the floor with UND next season. Not with Briggs as the goaltender. I think UND will be fine.

Anderson is a poor offical, he let the Goofers get by with a lot of hooking and holding and called the Sioux for every infraction. Thank God Jordy was on fire tonight.
