I think someone will step up. UND is still loaded. I heard this rumor a long time ago, just didn't think much of it till today.

This has been discussed a few times already. In fact this has almost hit the level of beating a dead horse into the ground. It would probably be a good discussion after the first cuts of the season have been made or not been made.

http://hockeyscouting.ca/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=82 Here is the link to that discussion. I wish they would do away with the Major Junior hockey rule, its ridiculous. Colby was affected by it. Can you imagine another year Colby playing at UND.

I had forgotten about Blaiser's hiring. I guess he turned out all right eh?

(Dirty Gophers) Marry-ucci is pretty sterile. Been there twice and its an ok arena if you like olympic sheets of ice. There is no atmosphere in that building what so ever. Too much marroon and gold too. (BSU) John Glass Field House is horrible venue for hockey and cold as heck some nights too. The ice in there is nice and hard so the speed of play is up and down the ice. No room to breath when the place is packed. (SCCC) Low as hell, bad system that gets cranked up low, so that explains a lot of the noise. Some of the drunkest and stupidest fans I have ever seen. One of the worst designed arenas in hockey. (UMD) old arena with decents seats. It could fixed up and be one of the nice small arena in college hockey. Needs a lot of work but fun place to watch a game.

Sica, does that mean that my property taxes are going up again. Also, do we get to vote on this?

Dagies He pretty much played every game but on the fourth line in the later years. He played 150 games in his career. So he didn't miss many at all. 1996-97 U. of North Dakota NCAA Games 40 1997-98 U. of North Dakota NCAA Games 34 1998-99 U. of North Dakota NCAA Game 37 1999-00 U. of North Dakota NCAA Games 43 _________________________________________ 154 Games

Actually if Eades and Johnson are candidates both will take pay cuts to come coach at UND. The job is listed in the paper today and it says 48,000.00-53,000.00 I have heard Marvins pays Eases 60,000.00 to coach at Warroad, he is also the AD isn't he? If my memory serves me right doesn't Johnson make 150,000 in the USHL? Pay cuts of 100,000.00 is a lot of money...

Are you talking about the Tampa Bay job? Please elaborate.

4. Fabian/Massen/Canady-Kaip-Spirko May I suggest Massen/Kaip/Spirko or something along that line. Also sounds like Spirko is probably going to be more of a 2nd or 3rd line player

I think it would be a blast, have it at the Ralph, another excuse to drink beer. Lets see there is: UNO SCCC MSU-M UND UMD I don't think I missed anyone. We could seed them based on record, and have a play in game, that would make it only about two games.

That would be a great idea but apparently the NCAA is thinking about limiting the NCAA games to 35. It could take effect in 2006-2007. Apparently the ECAC is crying again because they can't keep up with the big teams.

Nope disagree according to WPOS we are going to have a bunch of 28 year old canadians again. Fine as long as we win, I don't care if they are purple or green martions. I think people are dreaming if they think UND is going to stumble just because we have a new coach. UND will be fine. If I was a gopher fan I would be worried that my team with or without Vanek, because there is a good chance they are going to suck. Horrible goaltending, suspect defense (Jake Taylor is not it) and no offense. If I am not mistaken Hak did a lot of the recruiting for the players we already have.

I thought you worked for EERC?

Any idea who he wanted instead. If Bochenski doesn't leave I hope he gets an A.

Deeks Pizza is a troll. Probably a disgrunted Gopher Fan.

Hum, thats interesting. Well written article too. I was kind of hoping that we go out side and see how the cards turn up. Funny Sandelin isn't taking himself out of the running to.

No offense PCM but Brandt has won one game that he shouldn't have in past three years of that I can remember. That is 40 plus games. And that one game was at Duluth last season. Brandt had his chance and he lost the big game the Excel center last season, he stunk horribly. It isn't any concidence that Jordan got the nod in the NCAA's. Any time your team scores 4 goales you should win, especially if the name on the front of the Jersey is UND. Over the past three season Brandt has played ho hum good enough to win. But not anything that I would consider to be great. Hence he is not fit to carry Karl G's jock... That being said. Last season Brandt was above average at best. Personally as a UND fan I am ready to move on and see what Lammy and Jordan can do for us. However, some seem to think we owe Brandt something so-be it. If I would have been the coach, he would have been gone after the pull tab incident. One option UND should consider is red-shirting Ziggy next season. Because If it came down to Brandt and Ziggy I would rather see Ziggy stay his next three years than have him cut to keep Brandt. Because if Lammy is the stud that everyone says he is, his time is now then and not the season after.

Your clouding the issue with facts PCM. Actually just for thought provoking thought. Toby K had one of the records for most periods/minutes in a career. Does that make him him one of the top players in UND history hardly. Are you saying Brandt is as good as Belfore, Karl G, Casey, Jensen. Brandt is proably not fit to carry their jocks.

I wonder if Hak will keep with the mindset that Blaiser had, when a caller called into the coaches show and a caller ask Dean if they planned on redshirting Lammy and Blais said that he planned on him playing right out of the gate. From what I gather is that Hak won't change a lot from Dean's days as coach. Apparently Hak is just as intense as Blais. If true I hope things stay the same.

Honestly where in the roatation would Marc had played last season? I can't fault Blais for that one.

Wart Hog, if you heard Zach on his way out he refered to his brother as the starter or something along that line of thinking. I think Brandt should be the one that is worried, maybe Ziggy, but Jpar will be here. If your so confident I will bet you some beer or something on a side bet, or others that are crazy enough to think that Jordon is now all of a sudden gone just because Zack is.

I like the fact that he picked UND and cancelled his recruiting trip to UofM, as well as not wanting to look at any other schools.

Your poll you got should be worded favorite player from the last season. There are many more players that are better than half on that list. Mike P isn't even in my top thirty favorite players players. I would have to say some of my favorite players were: Justin Duberman, Landon Wilson, Greg Johnson, Zach Parise, Jason Blake, Curtis Murphy, Nick Naminko, Brandon Bochenski, The Panzer Divison, Karl G. etc...

You cant actually be serious?
