Goon

I have a question for everyone, why is SCSU getting so many votes, didn't two of their top guns get ruled inelgible? Besides I think they have serious question on defense as well as Goalie. Just a thought.

Sock_eye, I think your son will be a great addition to the UND Fighting Sioux Hockey team. I like the flash and heart that he shows, much like the McMahan (sp) kid does. Tough as nails and will get in front of the net and get his licks in and give a quit a few more. I think UND will score a lot of goals and I don't care how they do it. Wether it be off the head, knee or foot. I also like the lunch box kind of players, ie the Noterman, Spiewak, Hale (2)... Strap it on and play good tough hockey. In looking at the roster, UND is going to be bigger than they have been for sometime. If James Massen can play a little tougher UND is going to be tough between the offensive face off circles.

Can we say troll. Maybe you might want to go to another web page. This is a UND web page. Lets see what college do you cheer for? I am sure your college has a throphy case full of throphies. Besides it is going to be very hard for UND to duplicate the year they had last year with all of the good players that they have lost...

In reguards to what Schimdt Doggy dog said, I can say that in knowing Palmo over the past couple of years that if he says that Parise is that good, he probably is telling the truth. Tyler is a stand up guy. But after reading all of the hype that was put on this guy he was compared to Theo Flury and he is pretty damn good. You don't get those types of comparisons by being marginal. I think he will be as good as Vanek. I must also say that I am very happy to have Cannady on the team. I like what this guy brings to the table. I don't care if the gopher fans think he is a hack he is not. If you guys remember the game against the gophers last March after Brian got hurt in the game against the gophers, Wooger mentioned that Brian is one tough cookie and to get him off the ice. Woog went on to marvel on the way Cannady plays. I am excited to see what kind of game Brian brings to the table this season. I pitty the teams that play UND this year.

In looking at the roster, I think we have enough forwards don't we? I think there are going to be, I am sure Blais will pick up one more forward so he can have five lines in practice. I do expect great things from Lundbohm and Massen this season. Playing time is still going to be earned and I think we will see a better effort by the guys this season. Nice mix between braun and speed this season. I also think this is one of the bigger Sioux teams in quite some time. 5 Lundbohm, David, F, Jr 6-0 180 12/17/79 Roseau, Minn. 7 Bochenski, Brandon, F, So 6-1 190 4/4/82 10 McMahon, Rory, C, So 5-11 177 2/9/82 Perdue, Sask 11 Parise, Zach, F, Fr 5-11 180 7/28/84 Faribault, Minn. 15 Palmiscno, Tyler, F, Jr East Grand Forks, Minn. 16 Spiewak, Kevin, F, Sr 5-10 180 5/3/79 Schaumberg, Ill. 17 Connelly, Ryan, F, So White Bear Lake, MN 18 Fylling, Quinn, F, So 5-10 188 1/16/82 19 Prpich, Mike, F, Fr 6-0 180 3/27/82 Kenaston, Sask. 20 Massen, James, F, So 6-2 220 1/13/82 Bismarck, N.D. 22 Canady, Brian, F, So 6-1 195 7/29/80 25 Hale, Ryan, F, Jr 6-2 198 11/7/78 Colorado Springs, Colo. 26 Notermann, Jason, F, Sr 5-9 175 12/2/78 Rochester, Minn. 29 Genoway, Colby, F, So 6-0 175 12/12/83 Morden, Man.

I really love Pat's Signature. That is old time hockey at its best... I don't think UND is going to miss not Having Fournier, honestly if he can't come to camp in time I really have to question his dedication. Campionships are won in the off season conditioning. Third period is where a lot of games are won and if you not in shape, you not going to win... I have have seen a few of the players over the summer and David Hale really stands out in the crowd. Last time I saw him I thougt he was a football player at first. I pitty the players he is going to be checking this winter. They better have their helment strapped on tight.

Hell, SDSU is not even fit to carry UND jock strap, I am probably wrong by even answering this rube. S!#t there isn't anything in SD. Tom Dashcle, nuff said... My question is has SDSU even ever made the Division two playoffs. Probably not, since I dont' remember it ever happening since I have been in Gand Forks since 1993. Screw the stupid SD Fans, you know what the best thing to come out of SD beside pheasants I 29 North. I think it is a nice time for a wake up call. Lenon can use this as a serious wake up call.

You have point. Last year I noticed UofM really stacked the defensive zone and made it hard to get across the blue line in the third period of games, hence fustrating the opposition I would like to see UND return to this type of game plan. I also remember Denver using this tactic against the Gophers in the final game of the final five. Lock down the neutral zone in the third and protect the defensive zone. UND did this in years past when they won the NCAA title in 2000. I remember in 2000 they really played tough defense come tourney time. In the third period they cranked it up and played solid defense. This can lead to breaks the other way if they play it right. In other words don't give up the neutral zone and defensive zone. Fore Check, Fore check...

I didn't mean to slight anyone in the last post, I just thought Noterman is a good example of Hard work and dedication. I guess I would put Speiwak in there too. I like the effort these guys put in game after game.

Your missing the point. Blaiser has said this before it takes certain types of players to fit into to his mold and to play for him, his way or you sit. You work hard and you are rewarded. I think that is great. Don't go to class you run. Don't go to class a second time the whole team run. I heard that when it comes to that that person is not going to have much fun. I think its easy to explain and understand. Come to camp out of shape, your looking suffering an injury... Each player knows what he is getting into when they come to UND. Egos are for the most part check in at the door. Look at Blake he sat for having a bad attitude back in 1997, Blaiser said it might have cost him the Hobbey but Blais got his point accross. I doesn't matter who you are. Don't work hard, you sit. Look at what happen at other schools, a perfect example of this is Tyler Arneson. While Dahl allowed him to get fat and lazy that wouldn't happen in the Blais camp. I think that is why dean didn't land him. Blaiser has won NCAA titles. Dahl has not won an NCAA game. A perfect example of hard work is Little Notterman, in his three years of me watching him I have never seen him take a shift off. Never. He is an example of hard work. That is why he plays, he has the right stuff to be a member of the fighting Sioux hockey team. I hope all of our guys play like that this season. Give me 20 notermans before I will take 5 Arnesons. I agree with a comment made earlier. Last season was unexceptable. UND is the FSU, Miami of college hockey. We will return to the top. It won't be long.

In reguards to worrying about suspensions it looks like we are going to have a lot of guys to fill in if someone gets a one gamer. I don't think it is going to hurt having a few guys to put the puck in the net at important times. It seems like last season we lacked that. Gritty goals also help a lot. Lee Goren scored a lot of goals right in front of the net. Maybe Prpich can fill that role.

Honestly I think some are focusing too much on his penatly minutes, I couldn't believe that would be an issue since we had Commodore and Mike Could Rack up PIMS with the best of them. I am sure Blais is aware of how many Pims he has. I believe that UND needs a few guys to muck it up and get dirty, he will compliment Canady quite nicely. I think in years past UND let teams get away with too much S#!t and this could eleveate some of the BS UND gets from players like Jeff "after Whistle" Taffe and Matt the Goon Demarchi type players.

Here is the best way to explain it. It called an insurance policy. Lane has had injury problems and that does probably give the coaches some concern, however, what I have read and the little I have seen him play I think he is probably going to be a nice addition to our team. The aspect I like about him is that he is a stay in the net goalie something our two young goalies need to work on this season Especially Josh. If Josh starts dancing in the crease this year like last year against the Gophers its going to be a long season again this year. However, I cant wait for him to prove the naysayers wrong. Also, You can never have enough goalies or quarterbacks. Look when Karl got hurt Andy filled in great. Also, Blaiser is looking to the future, a good team can build from the goalie out. Best example of this is Roy from Colorado.

I look at it this way. The more quality goalies you have in camp the more high quality of play you are going to get from your goalies. Competition helps the players strive to achieve the next level... I am not 100% sold on our two Sophmore goalies myself. I was hoping maybe Lane would have come to UND this fall and maybe put some pressure on our current goalies.

Dagies and others, We should all be excited about future of Fighting Sioux Hockey.

If people think that Cannady and Bochenski are cheap they have never seen me play hockey, hench, the name goon...

http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/s...rts/3874303.htm Posted on Fri, Aug. 16, 2002 COLLEGE HOCKEY: For GF's Lamoureux, the puck stops at UND By Virg Foss Herald Staff Writer Two weeks after two former Grand Forks high school hockey players committed to play for Minnesota, an ex-Grand Forks Central goalie has chosen UND over the Gophers. Philippe Lamoureux, a former Central goalie who now plays for the Lincoln (Neb.) Stars in the United States Hockey League, has given UND a verbal commitment, effective with the 2004-2005 season.

I have heard that this kid Phil Lamoureux is awesome. Anyone have any more insight on him?

Scott, Are we mostly talking about the revenues from the final five and the conference tourney? I had seen that the conference was going to vote on this but I never seen anything after this was brought after it was mentioned in the Star and Tribune.

Scott or other please explain the profit sharing. If we are sharing profits with other teams like Major league Baseball I don't like it. I don't think UND should have to share profits with teams that can't compete on their own with out cutting into other teams bottom line...

Agreed Canady is a great hockey player.

I think Lamouroux is probably going to be a Figthing Sioux. I heard from a buddy that I used to work with that Lamouroux was playing in the scrimage last week. I heard that he was pretty good too...

Speek kills but you can't have a whole team of speed demons either. Speiwak and Noterman can both fly (Kevin has always been a good skater), Fyling can fly if he can break the line up will be another thing, Cannady seems to be a good skater too. I Think there will be a good mix of speed and Blungeoning the opposition to death will be fun to watch I won't complain...
