Funny you should mention the B1G...

Actually they received a goal from from another line this afternoon. Per Schloss... Michigan State 1, UND 1 -- Joel Janatuinen (Tucker Poolman, Johnny Simonson) 13:03. Simonson wins the puck along the end wall to Poolman, who pinches in along the right side wall. Poolman sees Janatuinen cutting to the net and makes a perfect saucer pass and the Finn scores his first-career goal.UND 2, Michigan State 1 -- Drake Caggiula (Nick Schmaltz, Tucker Poolman) 14:03. Schmaltz enters the zone with the puck and is being hooked, but fights it off, maintains possession of the puck, draws two defenders and dishes to Caggiula, who has a lot of net to shoot at. Caggiula buries it for his third of the weekend.

WHOOPS. Score UND. X2 Janatuinen and Caggiula.

So far, they're chasing.

Just for the record, I do like the idea of the NSCC. I wish UND had something like this.

Yep, he's been a nice pickup.

We really "need" to have all of UND's games on DirecTV.

He wants to be able to pluck recruits from other teams if it suits his needs. If he starts doing that, there's nothing to stop other teams from doing it to him.

Yeah, no... Sorry, if the game was on a normal TV that I get on DireTV, I would have something.

Someone asked Schloss on a chat if he was going to take a redshirt and Brad said that he wants to play this season.

Just keep beating them on the score board.

I didn't say it was negative, per se, I just said he was on message.... He spit out conference talking points. I would be surprised if this proposal gets through... It all boils down to the Big Ten not being happy about their current status in college hockey.

In the pregame, Tim Hennessey asked Michigan State head coach Tom Anastos about the B1G's new proposal. Of course, Anastos puked out the B1G's talking points. We are pushing 18-year olds out of college hockey, blah, blah... To be honest with you, I would rather they just say, "we're butt hurt because we can't dominate college hockey. Donny Lucia wanted us to back up his stupid proposal because he's still mad about his team getting their asses kicked against Union in the Frozen Four."

I don't' see much of a benefit of playing in the B1G aka the big 6 hockey conference.

I am sure that Schloss will post something after tomorrow presser. I am skipping the press conference.

So, who starts in net this weekend, Johnson or Hrynkiw or both? One each night.

So who starts in net this weekend?

While we're on this point, I think UND's upside is higher than SCSU's. UND fans, I think we have a lot to be excited about.

I think the 11 freshmen is the reason/root for some of UND's problems.

Secondary scoring is a big concern. I am more concerned about the PK and PP.

I think the Huskies nickname is offensive to dogs.

I see what you did there.

College Hockey Inc has a nice stats page and you can manipulate the stats if you want. Here's the NCHC team stats.
