Goon

or Fighting Irish? I think Fighting Goon's would be a great new moniker.

There is a difference between being happy and celebrating and the over the top and in your face celebrations that a program to the south is famous for.

That's funny but I wonder what some would have said during the chat on Saturday night?

I am not sure anyone knows, as most of us know Dave Hakstol is basically a close to the vest kind of guy and the only way we will find out if he has signed a new deal is when the University or the Grand Forks Herald announces that Hak has signed an extension. I mean the newspaper guys can't even get him to tell them who his goaltender is going to be from week to week.

I think it's funny how Gopher fans all want to throw Thompson under the bus but what about Seth Helgeson, he acted like a douche nozzle as well and cost his team by taking a penalty at a horrible time. Yet they want to call the freshman out.

I don't think that anyone has any idea if he is getting an extension or not? I would imagine the coach is due a nice raise or extension.

Another thing that I wanted to bring up is there aren't as many people pumping the Gophers tires after they gave up a lead to the Vermont Catamounts. It's obvious that the Minnesota Gophers are better this season, Rau is good but he was hammered every chance that Vermont got. Also, your going to get hammered if you celebrate every goal like you wont the Stanley Cup. If I was a coach in the WCHA I would have that game on DVR. That was a text book win by Vermont today. The Catamounts got in the Gophers grill and they started taking a bunch of penalties.

Dude, you must really not have much of a life, to want to troll a UND Message board? I know it's boring in Grand Forks but... Come on!!! Really? You don't see most of us trolling GPL.

Kristo Friday Knight Saturday...

That is a really good point. Too many times tonight defenseman were standing around watching or at least they were on two goals. I think both times it was Forbort.

I think some of the reason for the bad play is that UND is giving up way too many opportunities in the slot. Also, last night Brad Eidsness was God awful, on the turnover at the blue line that was scored by Lee Eids didn't even look like he was awake. Also, it appeared that Eids was on his knees before the opposition had even shot the puck. There were also way too many turnovers last night, you can not keep turning the puck over like the Sioux have this season so far and expect to win. I know Defense is supposed to be a strong point this season but Forbort has to pick it up, he has been brutal questionable all season long... I am sure that these issues will be addressed and I expect them to get better as the season goes on. Also, I saw some great things last night as well. Mark MacMillan's goal was a thing of beauty. Mattson seems like he is a taller version of Genoway with a really good shot.

In case anyone is tired of not being able to watch the game on Direct TV 669 the game is also on 685 as well.

Is that on Direct TV?

I would assume BWW will have the game on this weekend?

The game is not on TV on Saturday night... You have to watch the game on UWBadgers.edu or tape delayed on Wisconsin Public TV>

It doesn't surprise me because it's run by the Federal Government.

That's not what he Matteau said, he said, the is keeping his options open.

I am a big fan of the Goon's

It sounds like he is impressed with the Fighting Sioux program.

Awesome idea but never happen, you would have rioting in the streets or at least protests like you did in Wisconsin this past summer.

No and he is probably questionable for this weekend. Just guessing.

Every time I see the woman I get a laugh because she seems like such a nice lady, but I also think how lucky someone is to still have their grand parent. I think this reaction by the president is a bit over the top and a head scratcher.

I guess I said suspect not horrible but I guess if that works for you fine. I think people forget how good Falk was on defense and then you lose another good defenseman like Montgomery as well.

Well Duh but UMD isn't half as good as they were last season.... The Bulldogs had suspect goaltending last season and minus a few key guys on the blue-line now these weaknesses are being exploited.

Hard to say but good point.
