Goon

Thats what I thought, 3-2 BU still leading the Goofers...

Isn't this the same Anderson that called a ton of penalties against UND when they played B.C., wasn't it something like 18 penalties.

Yep 3-1 with BU on the power play, I am surely enjoying the game.

Sounds like the game is getting out of control, a lot of after the wistle stuff from SCSU. I am sick and tired of SCCC antics.

But isn't that game on like at 7:30 am in to morning or dies anyone know if it is later. I remember last couple of games that were on NHL center ice were really early like 0730 or 0800 am.

I want to have a picture of that...

You won't see it happen because the WCHA is all about the Gophers and the Badgers. I find it odd that every season the Gophers schedule is alway to their liking and they get to finish with their SCSU series and get to have a well rounded schedule. This is three years in a row that UND has had a sucky schedule. You can almost bet the league was/is sweating that the Gophers are at the bottom of the league and in jepoardy of not making the WCHA final five. Its all about the Gophers you know. Someone had a stat posted on USCHO a week or two ago that basically stated that UND Schedule is a little lighter the rest of the way.

Some fans assume that UND's record is only good because we haven't played any games on the road. UND hasn't even really played any patsy yet either until the last weekend. Not to mention that UND man handled DU at their place and they aren't bad. I think that is flawed logic since some of the teams arenas we are going to go aren't exactly world beaters. MTU. MSU-M, UMD. We get DU at home, and C.C. at home as well as UAA and MTU. The tough series on the road are going to be Wisconsin and UofM. We should at least split both of these series.

*Gasp* Another Canadian at UofM...

I think it is funny that everyone seems to think that UND is going to come crashing down to earth in the second half but I don't see it happen. I think UND is way more talented of a team then they were last season. Here is a few reasons, three players Porter, Murray, Stafford, I think arugably the best recruting class in the country at the turn. I am going on record to say that this is not going to happen. UND will be a top two team. I beg anyone to tell who is going to be there instead.

Going back to the title to start this thread off I don't believe this series determines who the best team is. I think the logic is false since we are with out our three top players... I think this weekend is nothing more than just another two games series.

I like your thinking I say add them to the total. Maybe we put an * next to it. I think they are going to have to get going if they are going to score 100 goals. Of course UND gets to play MTU four times and UAA. So maybe they can do it.

Watched the Czech and Cancuck game on TSN this morning (NHL center ice) Canada is good by the way so it should shake out to be a USA and Canada final. That will be on TSN. During the first and Second period TSN (Canada's version of ESPN) announcers were all talking about how good Zach Parise and praising NJ for drafting Zach also it has been not that Zach is leading the tourney with 5 goals.

Sprig are we playing the Canadians in the WJC?

I wonder if that game is on TV tomorrow on NHL Center Ice?

Here is the way I see it. SCSU is leading the league this far because they have played the most games and have the most points. I don't expect them to be in the top three by the end of the season. I don't think that they are a very good team either. UND lost becasue the breaks went SCCC way. Now SCCC is forunate that they get to play UND without their top three of four players in points. Having to play a league game minus 3/4 top players is rediculous in my mind. That being said I think that UND can still win at least one of the two games and I will be disappointed if they don't get some points this weekend. However, even if they lose both these games this weekend its really a non factor in the WCHA season because UND has played the least games in league play and only lost 2 points. SCCC has lost 8 points already and was swept by Denver this season. I will stand by my statement that UND minus these players is still a deeper team than SCCC. The edge might be in goaltending but if UND play defensively I think we can shut down SCCC.

Get ready for the clutching and Grabbing. All Star Wrestling. Should be some ugly hockey this weekend.

Now that is old time hockey. Eddie Shore. I saw a IHL game in Las Vegas in 1996 where there was about 10 fights in the first two periods of the game. Both teams had about three lines left on the bench by the end of the game due to game misconducts. It was a lot of fun to watch. My first NHL game I ever watch live was the Minnesota North Stars and the Boston Bruins in the Gahden. 7 Fights in the first three minutes, it was beautiful. Anyone that says fighting isn't part of the game is just wrong.

I think UND can split if not get three points. UND is the better team even without those three players. However, the leaders of this team are going to have to step it up and hold each other accountable. No excuses. Every man takes it to the Hussies. I think UND is going to have to tighten up on Defense and stop the odd man rushes... Actually if UND does get swept UND needs not to panic. We are missing three of our four best guys. UND strenght of Schedule in the WCHA isn't that bad the rest of the way and I believe that UND will be sitting atop the WCHA at season's end... Just so everyone knows up front, I hate SCCC almost as much as I hate the Goofers...

Yeah your right, by my math you could have thought that I went to school at SCCC or NDSU...

Good point who would you take out. Bina has played well, and Blais is going to sit the two Matts. It might be safe to say that Foyt is a victim of the numbers game.

Canada is playing Ukraine and it will be on 627 at 10:00 am on NHL center Ice. It seems that only game on are the ones with the Canadians. I hope next year the WJC games are on channel 23 here in the Forks.

Scott has played a grand total of 2 games.

God I hope your wrong. UND can not benfit from playing a tourney against a bunch of Canadian college teams. You cant even count the stats or wins in their team record.

If someone can get the answer to that question and let us all know this week when they post the coaches show on the board. I hope the Subway Holiday Classic Continues, its a good excuse to leave the house and drink beer with my buddies. I am hoping if they have it again they invite BSU again, it was lot of fun with those guys from Bemidji here last year.
