I think you have to expect a few bad calls in sports because refs are human, people make mistakes. What happened in Green Bay this season was horrible a travesty, what did I read like 9 different calls that were questionable. I think the officating in the NHL is way better than college, I have no respect for the officials officiating the games in the WCHA except for a few. Randy Schmidt no relations to the other putz is staring to become a good official. Here is why I have no respect for the officials, Don Adam is by far one of the worst in the WCHA, refs are to call penatlies not even it up. Don Adam refs with a chip on his shoulder against UND. If a team takes more penalties than another team you call it, not Don Adams he makes sure each team gets the same number of penalties. Thats not the way the game is to be called. Don Adam refs against UND with Biased. Period it doesn't take a rocket scientist to say it... If you think I am on crack tell me but if we review film of all the games he has reffed against UND I can show you what I mean. By the way you will have to bring the tapes... This past weekend after UND got a 5-3 power play I told my buddy here it comes UND is going to get the next penalty. Bam it ended up going against UND. In the BCS/NCAA title game Miami fans are bitching about how bad a call that was, however, no offense to the Miami fans if I am the ref I call that guy for at least holding. By not throwing the flag right away he makes the call look questionable. Lastly when an offical is disciplined I think it needs to be public. The fans have the right to know. After seeing Adam and and Sheppard ref I am hoping Goddard and a return of Buzzy C.

If you have the ability to listen to him without losing your lunch...

Watch the first time a Gopher tries to do something dirty to Parise. You will see someone step up...

I actually like Woogster since he is not on the bench anymore. I can't stand Mysocko though, what a putz... Nice hair piece frank...

Last night was awesome, the place was rocking. Reminded me kind of like an NHL arena during the stanley cup playoffs. (I saw game 7 in the old Boston Garden in 1988 when the Bruins defeated the NJ Devils). I couldn't sleep when I got home, I had to get up at 0400 a.m. in the morning to go to work, still excited. Folks our team is pretty good, I am not just saying that because I am a homer either. That was some of the best hockey I have witnessed in a long time. I will break it down further. The reason I say that is, the team we played had their super stars Petter Sejna and company, and our star Parise who was in the WJ's. We played short on defense all night. I think UND will be pretty dangerous, from here on out. No lead is safe and Bochenski can only be held down so long. Wow... Our should be proud, however, tomorrow is another day. Did anyone notice that UND played a disciplined 1-2-2 at times. Working it pretty good for the most part using mostly 4-5 defensemen. C.C. is pretty damn good and the checking line did a good job for the most part controlling the top line of C.C. they are going to score because they are great, if you can limit them on the point sheet your team is doing pretty good. Goaltending, yesh, but Ranfranz played well I thought. Brandt is going to steal some games. Blais has some decisions to make. I really like the way the Marvin kid played. Lee is going to get some playing time. David Hale, wow, what a player. He's back... Andy Schnider, the kid is tough as nails.

I refuse to listen two those two clowns, Pat Sweeny Jeff Bredahl suck period, thank God I only have to listen to him like twice a year max. I ussually turn the volume off when I watch a hockey broadcast and listen to Tim Hennessy. I love the fact that he is possitive and Sweeny and Jeff are just boring, there is no energy in their broadcast what so ever. I am not sure why WDAZ and WDAY keep coming back with these two clowns. Jeff must have been a first line star with his one goal and four assists... I am sure he is an expert on hockey. I also believe we could find a better combination to do broadcasts. If I am not mistaken Sweeny is a former UofM fan or student or is from there so maybe that is the one of the problems.

On the screen it showed #22 on the bench in the 3rd period. Schmidt make a bad call, noooo, it can't be... That was one of many bad calls. I think Blais shoud protest Schmidt reffing any more of UND games. Bring on Goddard...

Some seem to think we need to keep coming back and giving Josh another chance, for what reason I don't know. Josh down right sucks. When I heard that Brandt was sick I said oh we will lose for sure tonight. There isn't any reason why we shouldn't have two goalies like Maine since I feel we are a better more storied program than Maine...

I am sure a few Sioux players will greet him next season. As for Welch, I was kind of pulling for that kid. I guess Dan can go to the WHL and play Junior hockey or sign a free agent contract. I wish him well. I think UofM will be able to fill his roster spot with a young freshman.

I must give credit where credit is due, Brandt played pretty good tonight. I am pleased and I hope we have found a goalie that can keep the puck out of the net...

Exciting game. I thought the guys looked gased in the third period. I think UND showed that it can play with a lot of grit. Interesting night. Providence beat Maine. SCCC beat the Gophers UND and C.C. tied...

Apparently from what my Canadian friends are telling me that you will want to buy your tickets fast and as soon as possible. I hope we will be able to get tickets so we can see the games. I might even take vacation to watch the games in the Ralph...

Conference Hug I guess eh? Except for Wisconsin and the SCCC hussies...

PCM, Say You up on the big screen on Saturday.

Whew, I am glad this is your final point. And no the UND FIGHTING SIOIUX LOGO is going no where, except maybe to the Final Five and the Frozen Four...

Oh, I know that senate race, the one where voter fraud ran rampid...

I am just having fun... I have a lot of respect for the Gopher program...

Hammy I have to admit I was fishing. (To take a page from some one elses book). Actually I have only seen a few games of the Gophers this season because of the FSN debacle and our team having too many home games back to back. Add to the mix I was watching Vikings football and turned the channel to Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey, what I saw from the Gophers in net I wasn't impressed, mind you that doesn't mean I don't think the Gophers aren't a good team. Just saying I am not all that impressed with the Goaltending. Maybe I will change my tune after the UofM and UND series. Also, notice I bascially the same problems young inexperienced goal tenders. Your goal tenders, however, may be better. I think JJ is no better than Sievebeida or Jake. Isn't Bordeur going to Wisconsin, that is what I gathered from that. Here is my next question say Blaiser gets a top goalie like Brodeur. That brings up another dilema, we have 4 goalies none of them are what I would consider good or even adequate. He has some choices to make. If he cuts Josh he is going to say hey I got you out of Juniors mid season. Now your not good enough to play for UND. That sends a message to other schools. If Brandt has the documented attitude problems that others have talked about, fine we cut our losses with him to. Its easier to cut a kid with a tude. However, then we burn out bridges with the Northern Kids. From what I read and hear about Lane, I am not sure he will be able to be a consistant contributer. Besides there are better prospects out there. His numbers are that great. Ranfranz, what I saw of him, wasn't too bad. Cansius is different than UMD, UofM or other WCHA teams for that matter. Lastly, Sofie... You cut the kid with the great attitude. Blais has some tough decisions to make this year. I have a bad taste in my mouth after this past weekend.

I think your right, it seems like Brandt is a head case in the fact he feels a lot of self importance and that Josh is shell shocked from last season. A good goalie coach could really get on Josh and have him stand up in the net. Heck I could score 50 goals a year if face a goalie every game that flops around like that all of the time...

I would like to see a golf tourney with some of the WCHA fans in MPLS one summer. Yesterday quite a few of us from BSU and a few UND fans got together, this past weekend. It was fun. Its kind of funny when you start putting the handles with the names.

Anyway we can get the Rube SDSU fan removed from our/your forum? He is obviously nothing more than a troll...

It has been a know fact that UND's goal tending sucks. At the present our goal tenders make Hauser look good. (thats like saying Clinton made Nixion look presidential) I think Blais has no alternative to pull the pin on the two sophmore busts in net. Josh is god awful and Brandt must be in the dog house. Someone give me a reason why they are here next season. I don't want to hear the Gopher Fans say because he are obligated to stick with them for four years. Here is the problem, Sedieve isn't that good, nor do I feel he will be any better than the two goaltenders we have now. I think we pre-maturely offer the central kid a scholarship without seeing what he did this past season Phil Lamaroux, now we are stuck with two more goalies. I am sure we can find a good tender in B.C. or somewhere out west. I think it is time to flush Brandt and Siembedia down the river. Is it time to move on and find a new tender. I say cut them and bring in three new goalies next season. Why isn't UND trying to get a good goaltender like a Bruckler or Jensen or a Dubbie. I have a hard time believeing UND a top flight program can't land a top recruit to play goal for us (no surgar coating UND is a top program no matter what other say)... I would like to see a nice sized tender with some ability, no more midgets. Why do we insist on getting these itty bitty goal tenders that do not cover enough of the net. Second since ours thinks he needs to lay on the ice, he covers less of the net. I know the first name to come up is going to be Karl G, he was a luxurary, an enigma, a once in a life time thing. We won't win a title with the goal tending we have now. The sad part is they aren't fit to carry Houser's jock and that isn't saying much... Give me one more reason why we keep coming back with Sievebieda? Why is Jake not playing. He seems to be better than Josh. Is Blais affraid to admit both are a bust? Even All-American Coaches make mistakes. UofM has basically the same problems right now. But even their sieves are better than ours...

I am not for dropping them because they really get my blood boiling. I actually would rather listen to them than Eddie the BLOW Hard Schultz...

Hey could you fill us in on what you mean... Did Tom do some swearing?

As far as Minnesotas fan base growing. I have one thing to say "Rookies". UND has gone through the same thing this year, and years in the past. I think it would be interesting to have a UofM and UND fan mixer sometime. Maybe some of the guys like happy would show his face. Yesterday we met with some BSU fans before the game and it was a blast. I guess a couple of weeks before they met some of the UMD fans at Grandmas...
