Honestly Denver doesn't scare me that much. They play the same boring style that Michigan State University plays. Score early and make them open it up. Last season they didn't have the offensive fire power. Sure they have good goaltending but, UND has played teams like that pretty well. Crash the net get a big player like Ryan Hale to camp out and keep the forwards pinned in. A perfect example of this was the game against MSU during the 2001 NCAA. Speiwak (sorry Speez I can't spell his name) scored the early goal and changed the complexity of the game. Against UofM we only play them twice I expect us to split with them. Blais Logic refuse to lose. I think UND will be fine. I think UND is going to be a very physical team I was looking at the weights of the roster and this is a pretty good sized team. I hope UND is not going to be run out of any games physically.

Forecheck, I saw David Hale at the golf course, earlier about four weeks back and he is a big as some of the guys that play line backer at UND, he is an opposing force if you know what I mean. Looks like he had been lifting some weights and getting into playing shape. Gophers beware.

Anyone besides me feel pretty confident and excited about the prospect of this team this season I sure as heck do, we are going to have some killer d-Man back there on the blue line. I can't wait to see them laying people on the ice and into the boards. SMASH

From what I understand is that those bus trips are one he!! of a party if you know what I mean. Everyone has a blast. He ussually is the guy that cordinates the NCAA trips...

He just needs to have some games under his belth he is still pretty young. I noticed that Phoniex has some young hockey players...

I have heard the same thing, too so it must be true. I am sure Blaiser doesn't work well with threats.

James Earl Jones is the voice of Darth Vader, also, he is the voice that goes this is CNN... I don't think steve earl is related to him...

Actually I think Palmo is Chad's roommate this year. Just a useless point I thought I would throw out there.

The word I got that he was an offensive defenseman. Again, LSSU was not very good last year and they scored very few goals about 68 to UND what 120+ goals. I still expect one of the big guys to go pro just hunch I have. With the defensive core that UND has, they could field a pretty good Linebacker core. I pitty the opposing players that come bopping around the net this year. First Schnider it going to hit somebody, then Hale is going lay someone out, followed by a stiff check from Jones. Look its going to be very competative in practice this year we could have some very good players sitting in the stands not playing. My guess that practice is going to be very intense if you know what I mean. I look at that as a positive.

http://www.devilslakejournal.com/display/i...ts/sports09.txt Former Satan skater Chad Dahlen headed to UND There was a handful of familiar faces on hand last week to help new Devils Lake co-coach Dave Duckworth with his annual Summer Hockey School at Burdick Arena. Among them was 1997 graduate Chad Dahlen, who stirred up some news with his decision to transfer from Lake Superior State in Michigan to the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks.

Right on brother. Word has it the boys are refocusing, I think the rest of the league is going to know who UND is by the end of the season.

Here is the latest swipe at the Fighting Sioux name, it almost crossed the line too far and is down right nasty. The link is http://www.discovernd-racism.com This site has the finger prints of the two loser connected to thehttp://www.UND-fraud.com/ and http://www.undnews.com I know I know your saying who are these two people. Who are they, They are a couple of your basic half wits, they are like a fungus that won't go away. The victims, the loser in society that are there everytime a alegation is level. The victim of all societies wrongs. The two loswer are currently sueing the University of North Dakota. Misken is your basic stalker that was harrassing a physics professor and the instructor gave her a high grade to get her off her back. Supposively she was barred from campus and a she was slapped with a restraining order. Well the queer of the trailer court got her day and court and basically lost a bunch of money that she will never be able to pay back. Does she go away no she keep trying to have the case proceed on. Vivian Nelson is a Misken Clone that Glenda took under her wing. Another two bit half wit that flunked out of medical school and is sueing curretly UND medical school and Judy Demers. Of course Vivian has no case either but is trying to keep it on the front burner and get her day in court. UND has taken the stance that they will not take this to court and will basically fight her till she is old and gray.

I also think SCCC standing in the league is probably seen nothing more than a second rate division II program. I mean really they are a mediocre NCC team and they have yet to win anything in the WCHA other than a final five banner. I think the biggest endorsement is the 9-1 defeat of the proposal to drop the fighting Sioux name. I just don't see it in the cards.

First off Nanne is an Idiot. They guy is on his knees for the Gophers if you know what I mean. Second I think it is arogant to go into a kids house who has given a Verbal on where he wants to play and tell him he has made a mistake. Yesh... I lost all the rest of respect I had for Nanne, but I look at it this way, Nanne make Frank Mazzaco look objective, that should tell you something. Here is the kind of clueless stuff that erks me: this is from one of Clayton's favorite Gopher fans. The Sioux have to come up with an answer to their goaltending situation, since sub-.900 save percentages won't cut it without an outstanding offense (which UND does not have). Correct me if I am wrong UND didn't have any problems scoring they had problems not keeping the puck out of their net.

The one I think he is talking about is opening night in the new Ralph. It is a cool picturre. It was on the Caufield Picture display in the mall. I think they are kind of pricey. I though I remembered it being somewhere in the 200 dollar range...

I golfing Perry Nachonechy from the 1987 team (sp and I have no way how to spell it) during a scramble last tuesday night for mens night. One of the guys had a gopher hat on (by the way he did bring up the fact that he had 3 Sioux ones at home, I suppose they come out in case of a UND championship) and we were going back and forth in a fun way about different things. I still can't believe the band wagon fans in this area. I think it is funny. You didn't see many UofM hats around here when UND was winning. To cut to the chase, I told the guys that not to take anything away from the UofM title, hey that is great if you are a gopher fan but I said all you have to remember is 7 > 4 end of argument. (7 is more than 4 even to begining math students in Minnesota) This is not to take away from the UofM Gophers accomplishments (they proved that if you out score the opponents goal tending doesn't matter). I think Speez has something here though UofM is going to be a marked team. I wish them good luck. I would bet the farm and take the field that UofM doesn't win it all next season. With Vanek or with out Vanek...

I think its funny the amount of Gopher fans that have jumped on the band wagon and come out of the wood work. Living in Grand Forks and working part time in East Grand Forks I have never seen so many Gopher hats in this area in my life, I have lived here 9 years. I ask people all of the time if they bought that hat before or after the Goofers won it all. I am also sure they probablyn all have UND hats at home to wear when UND wins it all again soon. I hear all of the time how these closet bandwagon newby fans think that UofM is sure thing to repeat, they are going to be more awesome next year. I am not sure how a team can get better by subtraction. The biggest question is UofM goaltending. The present tenders make Hauser look great. I think predicting a repeat is one of the more arrogant things I have heard in some time considering who the Gophers lost from last years team. Apparently some think Vanek is the second coming of Christ and that he is going to be the best player on the ice. Sioux fans, think back to the past 5 or 6 years and we all can tell other fans how hard it is to repeat, there is a reason it hasn't happened since 1972. B.U. was the last team to do it. Most of us Sioux fans know why. !@$! Bag teams (Mankato, UMD, UAA, MTU) are now going to come into Marriucci and play their best games against the Gophers (they are bringing their "A" game), because they want to beat the defending national title. Even better, sh!tty goalies are going to stand on their heads, playing the game of their lives because they want to look good against the UofM Gophers. The gophers are going to have a huge bulls eyes on the back of their jerseys, and they better be ready to play every night. I am actually glad that UND is gotten that focus off of their back sides.

Dagies, Lane is headed back to Sioux Falls, SD. So I guess we have to stomach Ryan Sofie on the bench as a possible back up for one more year. The story was in the Grand Forks Fish Rapper last week I believe.
