Since UND has so many players, they can afford to spend a DQ or two. If I was the head coach, once the win wasn't in doubt, I'd send a fourth liner over the boards to atone for the hit on Schmaltz. The game against SCSU comes to mind.

It looking back at that hit, I was an interference penalty that went uncalled. After the game, on the radio, Berry wasn't pleased with the hit and said that he thought it was a contact to the head.

Now Schmaltz is out.

Yeah, good point. He does.

The hit in question that might have taken him out of the game, didn't look like a penalty, it was hard, but not dirty. Starman agreed.

Caulfield with two apples tonight. That's the reason he's in the lineup. He's been playing well since going pointless the first 8 games of the season.

O-Mac has contributed nicely this season. It would be nice to see him score a goal.

There's mention that DeRidder is much better on the road than at home. I guess if you look at it, he has gotten some big wins on the road. He played well last weekend.

All the aforementioned players have played better than 26 and 18. Hain, Senden, jamernik, and Caulfield had a great weekend. The coaching staff isn't going to hold them out of the line up. UND hasn't had a lot of injuries this season, so this might play into some of this. Lot of talent on the roster, but they haven't performed this season.

Why would UND lose Dylan James in the Portal? He's didn't play in three games. He's a freshman. Costantini has been invisible all year long, he had 20 points last season, he has 2 this year. Word I got on Johnson (multiple people) is that he hasn't earned the playing time to stay in the lineup. This sums up Johnson: one minute he's making a great play, the next he's coughing up the puck up that leads to a goal. Let's think about this, he's not going to play over Farmer, Frisch, Kleven, Jandric... There probably needs to be an injury for Johnson to play.

I think this could end up helping future recruiting.

I thought it was 37-72 they had the traffic on the TV this past weekend.

Why would 26 leave? He's missed three games.

Except for the breakaway, Spicer has been invisible this weekend.

SOG 9-2

Anything to make Bruce unhappy.

You're a team player.

Darrin Looker is the color guy on the road. He does a great job.

Maybe you could stay home this weekend.

We have visual evidence of a goaltender making a save. (Click to see more pictures)

Me too.

It was a coaches decision.

Berry and Sandy are buddies. Doubt that will happen, but we could see a rough series.

Not disagreeing with you.
