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...

I don't think he will be a finalist. I cringe to at him coaching at UND.

Honestly I don't see Eades as the coach. I think he as pretty good deal at Warroad. I he gets paid to coach by Marvins. I don't think he even has to teach. I hope we don't have to discuss Blaiser leaving for a while. I like the job he is doing right now...

I suppose Grand Forks is a good place to train and get away from all of the distractions of the bigger cities, and the facilities are awesome. I have heard that most pro teams facilities aren't as good as the ralphs. I would love to see the wild up here training. I hoping I get back to Grand Forks this fall in time to see the ex-hibition game...

Dagies, I reading what Blaiser has said it sounds like he enjoys what he is doing, I could see him getting a bigger contract if he continues to keep the program going in the right direction. Just a hunch, I am sure that a contract extension will probably be in the works soon. I am sure the University wants to have dean especially with the success he has had the last 6 seasons.

Looks like UND is going to have to pay Blaiser more. I just got this from Sid Hartman. and he says, that new contract is in the works for men's hockey coach Don Lucia that at $250,000 will make him the highest-paid college hockey coach in the country.

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.
