IMO I believe Parise was the go to guy. Back to Minnesota. UND is better off in goal than the Gophers, so I am not going to fret about our rotating goalies.

What State is Valparaiso from

One of the Cops in Grand Forks that happens to be from Chicago told me one time that we should wake up every day thank our lucky stars because we live up here. No Kidding. Also the Educational system in the upper mid west is second to none. However, on a more serious note, I wonder if they have ducktober in Mississippi.

So what is the deal, is he staying or going. If Vanek goes I think UofM will have a bare cupboard.

From the Radio Broadcast it sounded kind of loud in the Al, what was the noise like?

Maybe it was due to the fair?

Wow

Last minute fashion, however, a win against a top 10 type team, they will probably be in the NCAA tourney come end of the season. They play some good ball in the Gulf South. I will take it over a game against MSU-Moorhead or UMC Crookston any day. Good for UND.

I wouldn't sell yourself short. A person doesn't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to get a graduate degree. Actually if you were a med student you would be wholed up studying and have no time for hockey, nor would you have time to chat on-line.

Good point lets hope that our PP doesn't go 1-24 or 1-28 to start the season like it did last season.

I suppose there will be some that said that Ziggy was cut or that he had his scholarship cut in half, which in most Gopher fans mind is about the same as being told your not welcome.

You must be in Med School.

I am surprise we don't have Gopher fans calling foul, and making stupid comments about goalies floating in the Red River.

If I remember right, Brandt didn't play well in the WCHA Final Five game, some have blamed the defense for the loss. Brandt blew that game, period there is no sugar coating it. Big goalies have to make big stops even when their defense makes a mistake. Karl G did this, Brandt doesn't, that in my opinion is the difference between an ok/good goalie and an Great Goalie. Brandt is an ok goalie in the same mold Toby K was. Maybe we got spoiled with Karl.

I wait with anticipation. I would like to hear some good news this season, hopefully no one else leaving and hockey season leading to an NCAA title.

The Sens site has nothing about Bucks signing with them. I suppose there must be something in the works but there is nothing on their home page as of yet.

You need to have three goalies to practice or if you have a goalie that gets hurt. I think UND should go after the swede that loved Grand Forks so much, he, he, he. Now I personally think UND need to go after a front line goalie next year one on par with the ability of a Al Montoya from Michigan. I think Blaiser handling of the goalies hurt us as far as landing one of them. I am pretty sure that Brandt isn't on the same level as an Al Montoya. Nor would I consider Brandt a goalie in the top teir of the NCAA. Maybe Parise and Phil are they still have room to grow. As for this season, If I as Hack I would hand Brandt the Clip board show him his place on the bench and say "son thanks for the last three years when we needed you. However, the future is now take a seat, If I need you I will call you."

I suppose we will get something on this soon eh?

Actually if Schmitty says its true I would respect his opinion more than some of the others that said Ziggy is not coming back. Just a hunch.

I hope UND fans can get some closure soon before this drags on too long.

Lets hope that is not the case. The point being said, Bucks can help this team win a WCHA and hopefully an NCAA title. I would have to think that Bocheski could also be a favorite to win the Hobey too.

Tell me how that is selfish to entertain offers and decide maybe you don't want to go or its not what your looking for? People do it in the real world every day. The team will better off if Bochenski comes back then if they snub him to make a point.

I am sorry but on its face this doesn't appear to be a very smart move. Its just not cool. Next question why wouldn't our coach want Buck's back. I would if I was the the coach, ALL HE DOES IS Score, ala Chris Carter, although I doubt he is a cancer like Carter was. It wouldn't take a genius to know that Bucks isnt gone, show where he has been signed by the Sens. Who is UND coach going to replace Bucks with? I doubt they can go up to Canada and sign a player as good as him. This could the first fatal mistake of Hack's career.

Chris Fournier is going to have a tough time in life is he doesn't stop pouting and start working. I thouht good riddance the day he left UND. I do not feel any empathy for the little whinner. There are too many pre-maddonas in the work place today as it is.
