Goon

So that was the deal, I wounder if the radio has been put on notice not to criticize the refs but I think someone needs to look into Donny Adams performance on the ice. And another thing I thought that Adam was giving up reffing to run a officating school. I guess all bets are off now...

In listening to the pre-game show on KFYR, Josh is starting tonight, Blais said that he doesn't know it but he is starting. I guess Blais didn't tell them who was starting net.

PCM is right. Here are the numbers. 10/12/02 Michigan 4 15 63:27 W 10/26/02 Niagara 0 4 19:04 N 11/01/02 @ Princeton 2 20 60:00 W 11/02/02 @ Yale 3 26 60:00 W 11/08/02 @ St. Cloud State 5 13 43:31 L TOTALS Goales 14 Shots 78 246:02 3-1-0 Transulates to a .820 save percentage... Boy that is really good. Here is Jakes Impressive Numbers. 10/11/02 Canisius 0 18 60:00 W 10/25/02 Niagara 4 10 60:00 W 10/26/02 Niagara 3 9 40:56 W 11/08/02 @ St. Cloud State 2 5 16:29 N TOTALS Goals 9 Shots 42 177:25 3-0-0 That Translates to a .785 save percentage. Yep that is not very impressive. Your right the goal tending sucks. There is no more hey they are young, and they need to be given a chance, they have been give a chance. Here is I what I think Blaiser needs to do. Next season, cut one or if not both of these goalies. Starting next season. First off I would Cut Sofie (dead weight) and then make a decision on Brandt or Sievbedia or both. Have a competition, like the pros the ones that can make the team get to stay and the other get cut. These two goalies don't deserve scholarships. Bring In Lane at the half way point if it doesn' t get any better. He can't be any worse. Then recruit one or two more tenders and see if we can't get someone that can makes save at at least a 900 save percenatge. Like I said before UND is a top program in hockey we should be able to find a good goalie and its not asking too much to expect our team to have a good goalie... Here are the nations leaders. 1 Yann Danis, Jr, BN 2 1.000 2 Mike Brown, So, FSU 9 .959 3 Jim Howard, Fr, ME 4 .949 <A Freshman> Bobby Goepfert, Fr, PC 3 .949 <A Freshman> 5 Matt Migliaccio, So, MSU 6 .935 <A Sophmore> Jamie VandeSpyker, Sr, FIND 5 .935 7 Mike Walsh, Sr, CKN 3 .933 Dave LeNeveu, So, COR 2 .933 Jake Moreland, Sr, SCSU 4 .933 10 Jason Jensen, Jr, MANK 5 .930 There is no reason we should not have a goalie in those stats... PCM is right UND is going to have to score goals at a rate to 7-8 goals a game to win. If the want to win...

Here is my problem. Everytime Don Adam does a game he seems to have it in for UND and calls UND a ton of penalties and the oppostion gets away with murder. I am sorry but I have watched enough games to see that this is happening. I think the league needs to look into this and maybe think about not letting Adam reffing UND games. Especially after he made that comments about Commodore. Its eveident last night that I guess the SCSU player rams the Goalie and SCCC still gets the goal. What kind of crap is that? Biased officiating. To add to this Dahl better enjoy his little run I no doubt in my mind that UND is going to be clobbering some team bad the next couple of years...

Here is a letter a buddy sent me. I guess Josh didn't play too bad... However, evertime I hear there is a break away, I bet the score board operator is already getting ready to put up another goal. Its brutal... If I was one of the leaders I would take the young goalies off to the side and tell them to suck it up and start playing. I Blais gets some more goalies next season. I think if Josh or Jake doesn't improve they should be sent down the river. Sorry I think it has to be done... Goalies should be expected to have a .900 save percentage to be a starting goalie in the WCHA. Right now they are not... Hey Goon, What a treat tonight! The North Dakota at St.Cloud game was on TV in Bemidji. Channel 45 out of the Cities. Despite what you might read in the papers, your young goaltender Siembida didn't play that bad. Your defense let you down early in the third. St. Cloud got a couple of quality scoring chances because our "D" got caught and hung your goalie out to dry! It was tied to start the third.

This why I have no respect for this program. Dahl the other day, says oh if Zack scores 50 points this season hell be gone, sounds like he is begging. #uck you Dahl. Dahl gets his players to win now, but chockes when it matters the most. 9 November, 2002 College hockey: Huskies hammer UND By Kevin Allenspach kallenspach@stcloudtimes.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason North Dakota was ranked fifth this week is because no one had been able to stop the Sioux, and especially wunderkind Zach Parise. Until now. The Sioux ran smack dab into seniors Ryan Malone and Jon Cullen, both of whom returned after missing games the past two weekends with injuries, and the 15th-ranked St. Cloud State Huskies blasted North Dakota for a 7-3 victory Friday night at the National Hockey Center. Malone had a hat trick and two assists and Cullen scored a goal and set up four others. They figured in three of four third-period goals that broke open a 3-3 tie. And when they weren't making both Sioux goalies look bad, they combined with senior Joe Motzko to hold Parise and his linemates Brandon Bochenski and Quinn Fylling pointless and a combined minus-8. "I know (Parise) - he's a great kid," said Malone, who went to Shattuck-St. Mary's - the same prep school that produced Parise, who had a nation-leading 20 points entering Friday's game. "Obviously, he's got a lot of skill. But he hasn't played a team like ours and, as seniors, it's our last year. You don't want a young guy to come in and embarrass us on our home ice. We tried to limit their chances - that whole line. All we wanted to be was plus-1 or plus-2 against them and have some other guys chip in. It worked out a little better than that." Yah. Malone and Cullen fell one point short of the school record of six points in a game - a trick turned by five players. The only one in school history to do it against a WCHA team was Fred Knipscheer on Dec. 5, 1992, against Colorado College. And Motzko, almost forgotten in the equation, had a goal and two assists. "You don't expect to score all the goals we had, but that was the game plan - we went against their (top) line," said Cullen, back from a shoulder injury. "A lot of times when lines like that score a lot, they're susceptible defensively. We played good defense first and everything else after that we'll take as a bonus." The only other St. Cloud State goal scorer was freshman defenseman Tim Conboy, who connected on two third-period slap shots. St. Cloud State holds a 21-6 scoring edge in the last three games against the Sioux - all at the Hockey Center, where St. Cloud State hasn't lost to North Dakota since Nov. 28, 1998. "Their first line played really, really well," Sioux junior defenseman David Hale said. "I don't know what it is but the scores have been similar the last few times we've been down here. Maybe it's a curse or something. We'll turn it around (today). The character we have on this team is going to show up (today). It's going to be interesting to see how we come out." North Dakota, missing four players sitting out a one-game suspension from a fight last Saturday, suffered its first loss of the season. And Parise had never been held to fewer than two assists - until his WCHA debut Friday. Just listen to this idiot. Classic Dahl... "People can say all they want - it's a junior-senior league," said Huskies coach Craig Dahl, whose team won its fourth consecutive win over the Sioux - dating to the 6-5 overtime win in the 2001 WCHA championship game. "Unless you're a real blue-chipper, you've got to pay your dues. Juniors and seniors seem to dominate nine times out of 10. This was a great performance by our older players. You've got to have them in the lineup. It's critical." Another senior who had to come up big was goalie Jake Moreland, who was a stickboy for the Sioux when he grew up in Grand Forks. St. Cloud State was outshot for the first time this season, 43-25. Despite a couple of soft goals, he slammed the door on 15 shots in the third period. "You can let up a soft one like all goalies will, but then you've got to come back and battle and be mentally tough," Dahl said. "We talked about that this week, and we talked about it after the first 40 minutes. I told him 'Dude, that 40 minutes is over. Let's worry about the next 20.' He got the job done." The Huskies gave a crowd of 6,479 fans, their 31st consecutive sellout, reason to feel good 31/2 minutes into the game when Motzko deked around a Sioux defenseman and wristed a shot over goalie Josh Siembida. Malone then scored on a delayed penalty. Motzko was checked into the net, where he lodged against Siembida, just before Malone's shot hit the top left corner. North Dakota clicked on the power play early in the second period, but Malone responded with a highlight-reel goal. A Sioux drop pass went awry at the Huskies blue line and Motzko kept the puck away from a North Dakota forechecker long enough to find Malone streaking down the right wing. Malone took the pass, which was behind him, and brought the puck ahead between his legs. He skated in and beat Siembida low before skidding into the left post. The Sioux added unassisted and power-play goals to tie it. But the Huskies blew the doors open with four goals in an eight-minute span early in the third. Malone scored his third goal on a breakaway, and then gave a Captain Morgan salute as the hats rained on the ice. "Not playing last weekend (was a motivating factor)," said Malone, who suffered a hip injury two weeks ago. "Watching the (pregame introductions) last weekend was hard. On the road, missing games doesn't seem like such a big deal. Here, you miss being out there with the crowd getting into it. "(Tonight) is a whole new game, though. They're going to have (senior forward Kevin) Spiewak and (junior forward Ryan) Hale out there. I know Spiewak from Omaha (where Malone played in the USHL) and I know Hale from juniors, too. "I'm sure they're going to be jacked up."

Add 4. Stay out of Penatly Box...

Blais did that in a playoff game at home a couple of years back. He banged a stick on the boards and got a penalty. He I like that fact that the coach shows some emotion... Ah Woog would gotten into a argument with the Fans and had a drink poured on his head. Woog would have put $500.00 in a hat. opps... PCM, I agree the Goal Tending Sucks.

It your typical Don Adam Game, call a lot of Penalties against UND and let the opposition get a bunch of Penatlies to put the game away. Hennesy said that Adam let a lot of the Obstruction go.... I think Don Adam has something personal for the Blaiser and that is wrong...

Taz, I am going to make a prediction, for Blais-UND. There is going to be some retribution for for the last three games at the Concrete Center, just a hunch. If I were the coach at UND when (its going to happen) we get up on SCSU, and we will leave the top power play line in and run up the score, like they have done the last couple of games. I think Craig Dahl is a joke. When your up by a lot you don't put your top power play line in. Also Dahl is not fit to carry Dean's Jock Strap... I hate losing to a $#it like SCCC. This is a set back for UND, sure the Goal Tending is brutal how can you blame the boys. Next season I would recruit a couple of Goalies out of fear. I would also send one of the young goalies packing, I am sick of their performance, they havn't played one good game all season. Want to see what a good goalie does see Jensens performance from last night. I am sick of this horrible goal tending. Josh is a bust and Brandt is a head case. I would also bring in Lane if he continues to play decent at the half way point, I can't hurt. I am sick of Josh's and Brant lack a dazial attitude. I see UND going further than SCSU this season. We may even win tonight. We are a first rate organization I have a hard time believing we can't get a good goalie. Unexceptable...

Katie is a law student at UND and I believe did an internship in washington last summer. Although nice to look at I agree with a few of the other posters, maybe we can get her to move on and we can find a hockey mind to do the on ice interviews...

Yes Bad Eagle you are correct. I believe also there aren't many if any Faculty members of Nakota/Lakota/Dakota (Sioux) decent at UND. I wounder why that is? I also think many of the opponets of the Fighting Sioux Symbol are of Chippewa decent. I find that Ironic. Bad Eagle you work is very enlightening and educational. I look forward to reading more of your writings in the future.

Scott, They don't want to address the real problems, they are concerned about the issues that get the most attention. They are in it for themselves. Most of this has to do with these White hand wringing Liberal Professors trying to tell others how they are supposed to think. I am sorry I don't need some liberal telling me how to think. They don't want to address the real issue they just want to blow a bunch of hot air around and make a name for themselves. Also, you want to throw Johnny Hoff or Dana Williams off ask them when was the last time they went to one of North Dakotas 4 Indian Rerservation and helped out/volunteered. Never they never have once. They haven't done a thing for Natives, these are the same people they claim they are fighting for. Even more obsurd, this past week, Doren LittleBird finally acknowledged that there is a gang problem on the states reservations. I was like DUH, she just realized this. In my past job I went to Fort Totten and some of the other reservations quite often to recruit students for an education institution. Their main concerns wasn't when UND was going to change the name. But how they could get away from some of the problems that plague their daily lives. The P.C. crowd is out of touch.

Monday, November 4, 2002 Providence right wing Lee Goren named Sher-Wood AHL Player of the Week SPRINGFIELD, MA ... The American Hockey League announced today that Providence Bruins right wing Lee Goren has been named the Sher-Wood AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Sunday, November 3, 2002. Goren tallied four goals and six assists for 10 points and a plus-7 rating in four games, helping the Bruins to a 3-0-0-1 record and first place in both the North Division and the Eastern Conference. On Wednesday in Binghamton, Goren scored two goals in a span of 24 seconds and added two assists to spark the Bruins' come-from-behind 6-4 victory over the Senators. He added two more goals and another assist in Friday's 7-3 win over St. John's, and after being held off the scoresheet in Springfield on Saturday, Goren finished the week with three assists in a 7-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday. In recognition of his achievement, Goren will receive a Sher-Wood leather jacket, presented to him during an on-ice ceremony prior to an upcoming game. In addition, Sher-Wood will donate five travel bags to Pawtucket Youth Hockey in Goren's name. A native of Winnipeg, the 24-year-old Goren was a third-round draft choice of the Boston Bruins in 1997. After recording just one assist in his first six games this season, Goren has notched six goals and eight assists in his last six outings, and is currently tied for fourth in the AHL with 15 points on the year. A product of the University of North Dakota, Goren led the Fighting Sioux to the 2000 NCAA championship, and was MVP of the Frozen Four tournament, which was held in Providence.

I am glad they stood up against the P.C. crowd a serious victory...

Sounds like Quinn made the right decision by going back to Juniors. I hope he keeps up the good work. The things I noticed about Quinn his first time around with UND was that he is a really awesome skater and has decent moves. Maybe Quinn was just to young to be playing in the WCHA his first year. I am also sure it doesn't hurt playing with Brandon and Zach.

My father was telling me that there are hundreds of Lundbohms that have played for Roseau High School, sounds like there is one on the team every years. I suppose it is just like the Hasbargans and Marvins in Northern Minnesota too...

What about Devils Lake? Is there a channel that you can listen to the games at out here? There must be right?

I think Andy Scheider is going to have a break out year. You heard it here first folks. I also like the fact that he is not afraid to go into the corners if he has to. Also, I like the fact that UND defense plays defense, and thinks offense second. Nice change from the two senior defense corp members of last year.

I heard that on the Radio too, Tim was trying to announce the game and was sparing with the people in the stand to boot. I guess I expect more from an ivy league school representative. Yesh, time for the Ivy administrators to grow up eh? I like to see the men sticking up for each other. It show character.

This is awesome. WCHA Offensive Player of the Week Brandon Bochenski So., F, North Dakota Forward Brandon Bochenski, who was an offensive catalyst for the University of North Dakota in a pair of road victories over ECAC members Princeton and Yale last weekend, has been named Offensive Player of the Week for Nov. 4 by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. A 6-2, 195-pound sophomore from Blaine, Minn., Bochenski scored four goals last Friday (Nov. 1) night at Princeton

Personally I like UND defenseman, they are concerned more with checking and playing defense, scoring is a secondary concern. I like UND's defense just fine. However, I noticed a few of the boys are getting a few points. I also like the fact that they are limiting the opposition to very few shots on goal. I think that is a plus... I think UND hasn't faced more than 25 shots in any of the 6 games that they have played... That is huge...

That was the information that I got from reading the box scores too. I suppose we will be updated this week. I hope someone can keep us posted...

Bad Eagle, I read as many of your articles posted on Front page magazine that I can and they are very inspiring to me. I hope we can see more articles written by you. One thing I have noticed is those in the pro-name change crowd have no rebuttal for your work. Its ussualy followed by a yeah but. I think it speaks volumns of your writings. Goon one of your biggest fans.

Hey thats fine, I don't have a problem with that. Besides, we are in agreement on fighting sioux name...
