Goon

I love that, don't produce you can hit the road.

I find it interesting that an article comes out this weekend about the officating in this league right after we play the UAA seawolves. I know I am not the only one that thinks that something needing to be done with the current crop of morons officiating the games. This series was horrible to watch, one word boring, yawn... It almost looked as bad as watching some of the other trap feast teams. For the UAA coach to say that is a complete joke, especially when his players got away with just as many slashes as our team. I admit our team was doing the same crap. College hockey in the WCHA is becoming a joke and I blame it on the officating. I can't believe that have to watch a player try to skate up the ice with an opposing player hanging all over him, that is not hockey. Sticking the goalie with your stick is a penalty. The reason this stuff is happening is because the refs are not calling it, Anderson needs to be fired along with Schmidt. McCloud thinks if there is parity in the league it will help everyone. How, we will just lose more top players because they are tired of getting hack, slashed, tackled and obstructed. The staus quo is this league is no longer working and to think it is utter bs. Call the __________ing penalties. I know our team will get called as well but after having 30+ penalties a few nights in a row the players will adjust. Wait till next weekend when the Sioux plays the goofs. You can bank on this, there is going to be 4 on the ice officials, mark it down you heard it here first. I would be willing to wager one of the on ice officials will be Campion the other will be Sheppard. Also Bruce McCloud and Gregg Sheppard will be in the stands. Expect every thing the Sioux do on the ice to get called.

It appears from looking at their numbers if the Sioux can score 3 goals they might be golden.

It looked as if the Sioux were already thinking about the Gophers and next weekend. No one was moving their feet, the goal that counted was a blunder by Chorney. Oshie was one of the few that actually worked hard every shift. Everyone else looked like they were more interested in cross checking the opposition. Chay needs to have an extraction, his penalties were of the knuckle head kind. I think UND played down to their competition. I actually hope that UND can please play with effort this weekend against the Goofs.

One could make the argument that good teams find ways to win. I think if you looked at the standing comparing this season to last we are sitting a lot better than we were last year at this time. I remember UND being on the bubble of not making the playoffs at this time.

I think it would be fun actually too...

I thought Phil played well last night. I don't know why some think he played bad. opinions vary and we are all entitled to them. This is no lie last night everytime I went to the men room I missed the goal, I missed the UAA goal, say it on the TV in the mens room, first two Sioux goals same thing. Someone asked me if I would head the washroom again.

I met Jeff at one of those Remotes at I-29 cafe and he was pretty cool, I also had a few beers at the Gate and was able to chat with him. Sure he is a gophers fan and he supports his team, to call him a clueless rube or hack wouldn't apply, that I think he knows football and basebally pretty good as well... I am not sure what he see or not sees with this Sioux team.

Ditto.

I think an old NHL official someone like a Paul Stewart.

I am looking back to last years FF game and the penatly on Finley was horrible, I could go back and give you more examples but I do remember him in that game and it was not for the great effort wearing the stripes. it's not hard to out do the WCHA officials. I think the EZAC ones do a decent job. I remember last season against the Dartmouth and SLU that they called a pretty good game.

I would love to see the Duncan, Oshie and Trupp line for more than three shifts. I would like to see them against the Gophers for a whole weekend.

Frattin and Trupp rocks and I like the new defenseman as well. I think the two freshman Frattin and Trupp are starting to make a serious contribution to the offensive numbers.

I have emailed him a few times and asked him some questions. Ussually get a respond right away. Maybe he is filtering UND messages now. LOL

Thanks for posting, I will listen to it on my IPOD.

UND has beaten both C.C. and DU one more time than UMN. Hey if you don't agree with him send him an email, Jeff is a stand up guy he will email you back.

that was a loud post. (I mean the puck hiting the pipe, not the internet post)

He probably said it to get Sioux fans all wound up, UND is tied for the second longest winning streak in the country right now. I think UND is playing pretty good btu isn't gettting a lot of love nationally, but who cares suppose? By why should Dubbers be any different than the other experts. I think if anything UND flies under the radar this season which is ok.

The NHL has found a way to run the trap without all the hooking and holding it can be done.

NCAA Stats Apparently WMU and BGSU brawl skewed the penalty minutes. Seems like UND is only 3rd Nationally over all. UND is 13th overall in PK and 9th nationally on the PP.

The Goofs are the kings of the face rubs.

I believe they could and they have. UND has beaten Michigan, Michigan State and Miami in the last three seasons. Incidenlty I heard that Miami was the top penalized team in the NCAA this season according to the CSTV broad cast the other night. You just better hope the Sioux don't have to play with Shegos reffing.

The state of the reffing in the WCHA is in bad condition because the leadership in the WCHA is terrible. The incident with Schmidt just exposes it more and brings it to the surface. The fact that the decision affected a Big Ten School makes it even more glaring. Can you imagine if that incident had happened to the WCHA bench mark school? There would be a $#!t storm bigger than the one that happened with Wisconsin. Remember what happened when the AR made the right call? If Sheppard and McCloud were gone I think that would be the first step in improving the league, clean house and get rid of the dead weight. Randy Schmidt would be gone immediately after his last gaff. I also don't know why the NCAA and the various leagues can not call the games like the NHL, it should be a no brainer. There shouldn't even be a discussion on calling the game like they do in the NHL, I personally don't care if some of the teams can't keep up under the NHL rules, it would be betterment of the game. If any thing I think the reffing in the WCHA is causing this parity and I would be willing to bet that a lot of the coaches don't want the games called like they are in the NHL because they couldn't compete under those rules. I also think if the games were called that way the NHL games are you would see the seperation that some of the other leagues have like the Cup Cake Hockey Association. I think others have mention the EZAC, CCHA and HE call the games more closely to the NHL than the WCHA. The Sioux like one person mentioned do a lot of obstruction because they can get away with it and they would have some adjustments to make as well. I shouldn't have to watch a player like Oshie get hack, whack and high sticked when he is in the offensive zone. That type of crap shouldn't have to be accepted as being part of the game. Can you imagine if Sidney Crosby had to put up with that in the NHL? It isn't acceptable in the best league in the world the NHL is shouldn't be acceptable in the best college hockey league. It is time for the status quo to no longer be accepted.

If I am not mistaken that clown Shegos was ref the Sioux game in the frozen four last year? If I remember right he was just as bad as anything in the WCHA. B.C. vs UND Box

The Jersey that Drew is wearing if their 3rd jersey. I love those ones, they are the classic Sabres jerseys.
