Add the screw job in Denver and who know we might only be one point out of first.

I don't know about anyone else but I really like the way that Blood has played this season. Tough, good with the puck, sold defensively, if he can cut down to one less penatly a game it would the only thing I can see him needing to improve...

Call me a homer, but I think he is one of the best annoncers for radio in college hockey. I actually red someone where that one of the Wild TV announcers was UND's radio guy before Tim.

Siouxweet is right, come to the DU game if you can. They really are the villians much like UMN was in the 1990's. I think the rivalry in the 2000's really replaced the Gophers as the top billing and the games are much more exciting. For some reason they have also become the leagues golden boys. You might see a dasher dance as well.

So in essence this is a shake down by the NCAA and the Summit League, this is how it appears to me... I have been told by a person close to this subject and in the know that the only result the Summit wants to see is the name changed.

Why not? Lots of room in the UND fan base. I would recommend the 1987 retro. I also love my 1959 Retro with the Sammy Sioux on the sleeve.

I would say just the opposite, it just means they have had a wcha team come beat them since 1979.

I guess after listening to our competitors call UND a bunch of country bum kins and knuckle dragging, snuff chewing hicks I think it's kind of funny to be called elite. It would be cool to play them guys more, seems like it could be a fun rivalry.

In reading that blog post, all I see is the board running to change the name, I don't see any activity by the State board or it's politicans trying to do anything to retain it. I don't think the State Board of Higher Education realizes the fall that will follow "WHEN" they change the name. What would really be sad is that if UND went ahead and changed the name and they got snubbed by the Summit League.

I agree look at the size of the equipment now compared to back then. Also, the carbon Fiber sticks are lot better than the wood of yester years.

I think it's funny that Cornell fans brag about the Lynah advantage but I don't think the rink is anymore intimidating than any other WCHA rink. Then I read somewhere that no Western team had been there since 1979. So if anything that advantage is probably over stated. Maybe the WCHA needs to travel to some of these places and play.

That might be it?

I still think that anyone could win the league title ion St Paul and there will probably be a team that doesn't make the final five that will actually go to the NCAA tourney this season. Also, I don't know if anyone wants to play UAA right now, they seem to win the second game of most series and you never know what could happen on Sunday. I watched the some of the second game of the UAA and C.C. game and UAA took it to them. Of course UAA advantage is the trip up to Alaska is so poor, and it's probably killing them to come to the Lower 48.

Maybe he was talking about this little nugget.

I have been scanning the posts from the Cornell hockey beat writers and they were respectful and complentry. The tv broadcasters were very respectful and complentry. INCH's Gladdy was very complentry of UND, he from Ithica bent over back wards to say nice things. Sounds like he brought Brad and Jayson warm cloths for the second night.

Sioux yeah, yeah!

It would be interesting to see who it was?

I tweeted that concern to Gladdy from INCH as well.

That was in the past they have the new policy the announced this season... UND has been the best traveling to teams in far away places. The started and ended the season on the east coast last season.

I supposed the guys are going to put on a good show for him. I would recommend he go to the DU and UND series.

Minnesota and Wisconsin won't they have big expensive athletic departments to fund. The benifits of being a big ten + 1 team.

I like Dell size and positioning, he seems like one of the bigger goalies UND has had in some time. Dell also doesn't get out of postion as much and is more of a stand up/butterfly goalie. I like what I have seen out of him.

I forgot about the first one.

I think it would be cool to have a subway classic with Miami, Cornell, BSU and UND one of these years. These teams would be a fun tourney.

I actually still have hope that UND finishes in the 4th. But I don't think 5th is that bad either, because I don't know if the Sioux want to go three games with UAA. I also don't worry that much about UND facing C.C., SCSU or Minnesota in the WCHA playoffs.
