Goon

If you read the various sites around the blog sphere you would have thought UND finished behind the Goofs and Wisconsin. Apparently finishing 3rd nationally isn't considered good anymore. UND has finished 2nd, 3rd, 3rd and 3rd the last four seasons. Last time I checked that is better that most of the teams in the WCHA; except DU 2005 and Wisconsin's 2006 NCAA titles. Yeah they suck don't they? I think UND needs to get back to the style of play that got them the last two NCAA titles, RACE HORSE HOCKEY. Enough of this Neutral Zone Trap and defensive systems crap that we played through most of the second half of the season...

This is not meant as a slamb; I wonder if any of this has to do with the kids getting younger and younger in the WCHA? I am sure there are other programs that have many of the same issues, I remember B.C. and some of the other HE programs having issues with players. Heck one of the HE coaches got arrested for a DUI in the Mass. I think the fact that Grand Forks is so small makes this stuff come out in the media more because there is nothing going on and everyone know everyone.

Notice the playoff beards?

All you have to say is Shepturd's name and it is pretty much self explanatory. They did not make the right call in this situation.

Here is what Pierce the goalie from ND said: "Next season starts today," said Pearce. "You get knocked out, you gotta get back on your horse." This kid is right.

Thank you...

Does anyone have the video of the non-goal?

If I am not mistaken don't have a lot of high end talent tied up for the next three years? If you look at the numbers it would appear there are going to be some players that will have to step it or they will be sitting in the stands.

They should have been.

There is no reason that goal shouldn't have been allowed.

Lammy is too old to be drafted but he can be tendered a free agent contract. The rest of what you said sounds good...

I didn't like the idea at all, I wish they would have grown the beards.

LOL, that was funny, only I was probably more like the guy in the picture.

You just don't spend as much time road hunting. I read a report that said that gas will go up top off around some where in the 3.50-4.00 range and then will come down. Hopefully just in time for Rooster hunting season.

We could start a thread to look for the Silver lining as well...

Team game and it was more than goaltending, win as a team and you lose as a team. The boys left JPL out to dry a few too many times. The Figthing Sioux will be back.

V10? I drive a v6 and I am not going to be able to go duck hunting in a small car, I have a lot of gear and a very big dog. There is no way I could get into a stuble field with a prius.

Well said.

It is silly to suggest that they are going to fire the coach. I believe change might be coming because we are going to have a significantly different roster next season.

I would tell him to turn his music down

Yeah good point.

That just means he isn't going to joine them this season. I would look for him to sign in the off-season.

:)

Nice to see that AFN has changed since the day I was in. Thanks for your service...

Don't worry Triouxper, I sent Jim an example of what Dean has been saying.
