If coach keeps that line together they could do some damage.

LOL!!!! I think that was a Rhetorical question. I would start him both games if I was the coaching staff. I also agree, that Saunders was the reason the Saturday game was close.

There is a positive to this move... It does take a bad on ice official off of the ice.

All I can say is, the hiring of Don Adam is a major head scratchier for me. I guess the coaches to a man wanted this guy so... I don't know, I guess the NCHC coaches think he's a good official. I can't figure it out... The problem I have seen with the SCSU game on Saturday night and I have watched the game about three times on my DVR and it appears that is that Tim Walsh is definitely the weak link of the two officials.

I wonder if we're going to see Clarke this weekend?

Stop clouding the issue with facts Adam...

Maybe said player had an excuse and wanted to hang out with an old team mate? Also, Jack Parker is pretty old school, I would imagine that Parker was advised of this.

I don't think they have as many ducks because a lot of the Minnesota Hunters are hunting over in ND. I know my Brother hunts ducks in Minnesota and a sub-par to mediocre hunt in North Dakota seems to satisfy them. SD hunting licenses for Pheasants were 108.00 last time I hunted there. Ouch, I am sure they are more now.

Having lived in MN and having a brother that lives in Minnesota that hunts here in ND and also in SD... It's a tough deal and it's expensive for nonresident license fees.

I doubt that Rocco drinks.

Well then we have a lot of numbers to throw around then because I just updated the previous post.

I've pretty much hit this one last week in a blog post as well.

I had this discussion with my buddy at the hunting shack this past weekend. I believe that the coaching staff has a complex defensive system that takes time to jell. Whatever they’re doing seems to click as the season evolves. Thoughts on that? I am just throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks. Also, SCSU is a very good hockey team.

Friday - Knight Saturday - Kristo

I think this could be a weekend where some players come out of their funk. Just think if Rocco Grimaldi and Danny Kristo stopped hitting pipes.

I listened to game one on the radio and I watched game two on my DVR last night when I got home... The game on Saturday night was one of the worst officiated games that I have seen in some time. On the way back from Cando on Saturday night Hakstol was livid after the game about the officiating. I think that the NCHC coaches made a huge mistake by making him the head of officials.

I think split is a safe bet too, but won't be surprised if they change the fortunes of SCSU on Friday nights.

I sent Midconet an email the other day and asked them if they planned on putting Midconet on DirecTV. They sent me a reply back saying not at this time. I sent them a reply that said, you might want to consider it, I then explained about our fan base being very big and all over the USA. My suggestion is that we should fill their email boxes and phone lines with calls.

The guy was 0-6-1 against UND.

BU brought three student writers and they had a chat and you guys might be interested in knowing that the writers thought highly of UND's team.

I have followed UND for a long time and some good teams have gone to SCSU and gotten little points. I remember the 2000 team only getting a tie one weekend.

I am waiting for the day when the Gopher fans complain about Saunders being a 25 year old Canadian. Won't bother me when he leads UND to a NCAA title.

Isn't Michael Parks an American.

It could be because there are so many cell phones in there already. I have trouble in the press box with my lap top as well. Usually happens right before the drop of the puck.
