Goon

Count me in. The University has already said they're not cutting women's hockey.

Yeah, but I get WDAY though.

Why are we blaming me?

My intramural ball hockey team at BSU won a title back in 1992, SO... I have game.

I see a lot of talent. 8 freshmen and 11 Sophomores. Yon is going to be a great offensive player I think he has good hands and a decent shot. Dixon Bowen is great and upcoming forward with incredible speed, motor never stops. Hoff has grit and offensive talent. I like his mean streak. I like Smith's grit and he never quits. He's a diamond in the rough. All three Freshmen on the backend have made great strides. I really like Casey Johnson. I like the freshmen line of Yon, Hoff and Bowen. They're great forecheckers.

UMD is a veteran team, they have seven seniors on their team. Last time I checked, UND is a team that has 19 underclassmen. UND also lost four Juniors in the offseason. Imagine if Stecher, LJ, Schmaltz and LaDue had returned? That's a lot of experience that left.

Ding, ding, ding. Spot on.

Or not, Duluth is known for being a suitcase college. A lot of the students go home on the weekend. Or at least it was during my college days. Of course I am old like Mafia Man.

You probably would need to pick the middle teams, too. I am conducting an experiment to see if the Fan Poll matches the Inside Hockey blogger poll.

Straight 1-8... How they're sitting today. My top-three is 1 DU, 2 UMD and 3 UND.

Ciskie was fine, at the end of the game, I think he even tried to tamper Billy Watson (I believe that was him) a bit.

no way... I can't miss the show.

Just this week. I am looking to compare it to the one that we do at Inside Hockey.

I always thought that UMD was coming to Fargo... Drunk Hockey Guy told me he can't wait to see UND lose in Fargo. That would be a barn burner of a game.

Since we're all in an arguing mood, I am conducting a fan poll to see how the fans on social media rank the teams in the NCHC. Even though DaveK is an non-NCHC fan he can vote, too. You can only vote once. (Click to vote )

Wow... I mean uh, oh. I guess that settles it then. The mighty delusional DaveK has spoken then. I am going to agree with Stoney, PSU hasn't played anyone worth a crap yet. PSU's SOS is 33. For comparison sake, UMD 1, DU 2, UND 3 all have much higher SOS. I am sure we'd (most of us) be glad to see PSU in the Fargo regional.

I think he's a good hire, I think he's better at Basketball and Football, I also think he does fine with hockey.

Well, beating Michigan at the regional made a good case for that. The fact no B1G team made the Frozen Four last year would be a good indicator of this, no? This is what, year four of the B1G Mistake and they've had what, 1 team to the Frozen Four in four years?

It's possible that I might get drunk today and pass gas. What's your point? The B1G is what four games into their conference play?

Ha, I always thought that DaveK was a Troll Bot, anytime someone mentioned the Penguins, Gophers, or the B1G he's there responding. It's funny that DaveK would call someone a blowhard. It's almost comical.

I would say that this is a guy that didn't want to fight. Looking at the size of the guy that challenged him, he's a tree trunk.

Now that is funny.

I just went back and re-watched my video. I think they need more crowd microphones. I know it's very loud during a game. There are time you can't hear the person sitting next to you.

One and done, anything can happen.

I am just throwing it out there. Not sure.
