Goon

I was told that there is a place to go have a beer between periods like the old DECC. I am trying to get confirmation.

I think it's funny how some clueless fans are suggesting that now the evil UND head coach Dave Hakstol aka Lucifer, while giving everyone the middle finger, is going to start poaching the have not teams star recruits, more specifically that he is going to comb through the recruit lists of the non like minded schools and poach their recruits. I guess we better fore warn MTU, MSU-M and BSU beware Hak's on the prowl, no recruit is safe and out of bounds... Hakstol is going to come to steal your teams recruits. Are you fricken kidding me? Here is the kicker... Now if I am reading everything that the Gopher fans have spewed over on USCHO, some how Saint Lucia is above the fray, albeit against the verbal rule, but is some how is more pious than Hakstol. And doesn't want to recruit the other teams prized recruits that he covets... Seriously, you can't believe what you shovel? You don't think that Lucia didn't want another chance to sway Danny Kristo or Nick Mattson on going to the Goofs? You have to be drunk, high or both. There is no evidence that Hakstol would do this. In 8 years of coaching I know of no case where he has been accused of this. The most Hilarious thing I read in the last couple of days is some Jack Bag suggested that UND stop recruiting the Canadians or have a limit of how many of they can recruit... The only thing is the two players that they lost to the CHL were Americans and played on the USDT under 18 teams. I guess maybe they recruit too many Americans...

So I have been told there is a bar for between periods to consume adult beverages... Are we going to share can of beer or two?

Biddy why all of the hate? None of us have taken your lunch money...

It's hard to win with the PC crowd because they always move the Goal Post back and change the terms all of the time. If the Tribe wins the nickname law suit, they aren't going to go away.

I don't know anyone that would vote for her. The people that I know wouldn't....

Yeah that must be some good stuff. What's also funny is how some fans of other programs are suggesting that Hakstol lacks ethics is all of a sudden going for going after the "smaller teams" recruits if UND loses a blue chipper to the CHL. Last time I checked UND is a relatively small school compared to a lot of schools in Division I hockey. There is no proof out there what-so-ever that the UND coach would do that. I guess people don't think that the UND coaches are capable of finding another player. Some of these people need to get over their hatred of everything UND. First off I don't see UND competing with MSU-M or MTU for hockey recruits. I don't think UND is going to lose a recruit they are recruiting to one of these teams very often. I see them losing a recruit to DU, UMD, UMN, Michigan, BU, B.C., UW...

Of course he's not..

No doubt and I can't see Heidi Heitkamp winning the election. No matter how much money she gets from outside interests.

I wouldn't count on it. Hakstol isn't going anywhere.

I would say no because he was voted into to office by the People of North Dakota. He represents the people of North Dakota and he has a lot of power.

I don't either and Michigan is one of the more powerful schools in the B1G.

I see a constitutional ruling challenge on the nickname law if the petition drive is successful. Just a hunch.

A regional in Denver would be unproductive because it would be sparsely attended. We have already determined that DU and C.C. have very few fans that travel anywhere. DU doesn't sell their arena out very often...

This is one case where they can make the argument that there will be more fans in attendance, Minnesota Duluth, UND, SCSU and possibly UNO fan bases right there that will travel to the games.That was also one of the arguments for allowing SCSU into the league.

I think it's funny how a certain fan base just assume that he B1G would automatically get the Xcel Energy Center over the NCHC.

The self professed expert even said that If I am not mistaken.

He might want to be careful with that one. I could see teams in the area that could end up plucking a recruit that is verbaled to him as well.

That's kind of interesting since I believe that Lucia is all for recruiting players that are committed.

The ice in that place sucks.

Own it DHG, that's you.. Me personally I would have never dressed up as Sponge Bob, but hey... Don't have to it was posted on the internet. It's fair game, I question whether you actually remember it but... I think this is an awesome picture.

So which bar stool were you sitting at?

I was surprised he didn't get at least a game or two suspension for his antics.

I think it's his best coaching job yet.

INSIDE Hockey covered both games this weekend. [game1] and [game2] ... There was some pretty good hockey played this weekend and there are some exciting days ahead in UND Women's program.
