I think we will some change when we start playing teams like UAA, MTU and others. I think this season in the second half UND can just plain wear out opponents. With the exception of Yale most of the teams UND has played has had a winning record there really hasn't been an slouchs...

You probably should talk to UNAfan2003, he is over on AL.com whinning about how bad the UND fans are and how he hopes they never come back to Florence. Anyways I wish I would have been there. It was a good game to watch on TV.

This putz can't be for real. I think its funny how ESPN wasn't picking up on this issue. Part 1 Part 2 This guy must be an honor student at UNA These people need to move on and get over the fact that they lost.

I think Zach has played well and UND has not played what I would call a weak schedule either. Every team has had a player drapped all over Zach and its hard to score when you have people clutching, grabbing and holding you. However, that being said, I think there are more opportunities for others in the UND lineup to score and put up points on the board. One person that comes to mind is Genoway who has blossumed (sp) into what I would call a great 2nd line player. Colby has something like 9 or 10 points in the last 4 games. Thats pretty good.

Goal total update. Bochenski 11 Zach 6 Brady 6 I was wondering do goals that Brandon score while the other two are gone count, I would say yes because we are talking about Bochenski, Murray, Zach and then scoring 100 goals. However, I think now that its going to be hard for UND's top line to score 100 goals, unless Bochenski can score a bunch of them against the weaker/lesser teams in the Subway classic. They have 77 to go.

Again apparently you haven't watch a few of the WCHA's mediocre teams ie: SCSU, MSU-M, UAA, MTU, Duluth all hook and hold and clutch and grab because can't keep up with teams like UND. So that statment isn't all that accurate.

OK I can add to that list: We all agree that the Badger Suck. Also, In my oppinion SCCC Sucks Eagles Sucks Mavericks Sucks Dawgs Suck MTU Suck Seawolves Suck

Dude fight the good fight for us. Tell your buddy Randy for us that he was flat out wrong for making that call.

I respectfully disagree with that statement: last years playoffs between the Wild and Av's and the Wild and Canucks disprove that statement. Last spring was some of the best NHL playoff hockey I have ever watched in my 37 years of life. Also, when I see Mariann Gaborik slam his stick on the ice because he is frustrated and going through a scoring slump proves these guys care. Sure he was in a contract dispute, he still is a caring player I am convinced. Sure there are pukes like Jagr that pout and make asses out of themselves adn do nothing only to perk up when he is rumored to be on the trading blick, but I am convinced that these guys don't care and play without emotions, or there wouldn't be as many fighting majors in the NHL...

Why are we talking about this on a UND message board. I think we should kill this thread.

I am impressed that you are going to go watch the Sioux instead of the Wild, that shows character, however, I do believe that the NHL is much more fun to watch and most college hockey. Whol would your rather watch MSU and BSU or the Wild and Detroit. The reason I say that is that I took in a game over in Bemidji earlier this year and that was some of the worst hockey I have seen in years. Mankato couldn't even get out of their own end unless there was a powerplay in their favor. In the NHL even the Goons (the less talented fighters) can skate, that is not always true in college. UND has been the exception, Dean Blais teams skate, Skate and then skate some more, so basically if its not UND and who ever or Minnesota and whoever, I would rather watch the NHL. Second most to the time you don't have to watch that god awful brand of hockey that teams like MTU, , UAA, MSU-M and SCCC play, the clutch and grab, its hard to watch and boring. I like watching UND play teams like C.C. and Minnesota. Last night the Bruins got a penalty for one of their defensemen putting their hand on the puck in their crease. The ref immediatrly called a penatly shot and the bruins lost because of it. Inretrospect the WCHA officals have to be the worst officals of all time, they totally go out of their way to call things against UND, as brought up earlier UND's Zach Parise was called for throwing an opposing player off of him, all the while the officals watched the opposing player mug and hog tie him. I feel that is really taxing to have to watch the officals and the jobs they do.

I am predicting that UND will pound Issac on Friday and come back and win a close on on Saturday. UND has some pay back coming to the dirty Blow Dogs... Friday UND 5-1 UMD Saturday UND 3-1 UMD

Especially when worse stuff gets thrown on the ice all the time.

He would have been sitting in the stands.

IN laymans terms he was lazy.

Its official Drew Stafford, Brady Murray, Zach Parise will be on Team USA for the world JR's. I guess the x-mas tourney is going to be the Brandon Bochenski show.

Dahl talking right now as of 6:51 pm. Dean up next.

The WCHA signed a contract with the X-Cel energy center for 5 years after the first year in the X. So what we are looking at is what about three years left if I am not mistaken. I really don't see it moving anytime soon because it was drawn a lot of people. It was somewhere between 60,000-77,000 the last three years.

No offense but there is going to be no NHL next season. The owners and the players are so far apart it isn't even funny... That is good for us though.

Ah who the hell cares. I will stand by my statement if they lose but the odds are in my favor. Like one of my brothers buddies said once before, its a web page. Who cares what other fans say. Life still goes on and the sun still comes up in the morning, well maybe except for here. THE GOLDEN GOPHERS ARE NOT GOING TO THREE PEAT THIS SEASON. Its not like some of the other Sioux nation brothers and sisters aren't thinking it, they just do want to say it. Oh well we said it for them. Oh if I have to eat crow I will take it with Famous Daves BBQ sauce...

Think about it this way. Without Parise and Murray we still out talent about 3/4 of the teams in college hockey. Honestly. I still think we can do ok with these guys against SCCC in January.

I say who friggen cares. Big deal. They need to move on. Most of us have moved on and are now concentrating on the game...

I am torn I like to see the young kids go to the JR tourney but we are going to need Drew to beat the Dirty Huskies I guess it is a win win situation for the Sioux.

Your right Brother, the free thinkers. I honestly don't care if I am wrong. What at the Gopher Fans going to do take me to task if I am wrong. Hardly... Let me put it in Bold print. THE GOPHERS WILL NOT THREE PEAT... What is so hard about that. THEY WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO MAKE THE NCAA TOURNEY... Oh yeah and the Bison and Packers still suck...
