I think that Watkins and Kozek are going to have big games this weekend. #10 really looked good against BSU last weekend. I say Phil and Jordan are both solid and I think the Big line is going to feast on the Crimson this weekend.

The lowest form of vermin Gophers...

First off that is pretty much how I feel about Kessel, egotistical for a high school hockey player to announce where he is going to play college hockey. You can't get more cocky than that. I don't remember Oshie doing the same thing, and before we start flaming about how much better Kessel is than Oshie, TJ was picked pretty high in the draft and is only sitting one point behind him in points. ALSO, what cause are we furthering, I thi is a college hockey message board. I could care less if someone likes my opinion of Kessel. Fan=fanatic.

I don't think this is necessary. I mean look at our rosters, are you saying Harvard has a Stafford, Spirko, Zajac then add Duncan, Watkins Kozek. Actually I would bet their goaltending isn't as good as ours. Don't give the boys an out to lose this weekend. This is a crucial series and nothing less than three points is exceptable. We can not lose to Harvard or an EZAC team, that really would hurt us in the final selection for the NCAA's seriously.

No, I have to disagree, I mean what does Kessel expect? Does he expect the media to treat him with kids gloves? High profile players have stories written about them all of the time. Why should it be different for golden boy Kessel. Honestly, If Kessel is a spoiled brat than there is probably something to the story, I don't doubt TSN because they are a Canadian channel. TSN is second to none in hockey coverage, it makes ESPN look like a college news/sports production. I get to see some of their work as a result of having NHL Center Ice and if there is a story there TSN will find it. TSN plays no favorites or treats none the players with kids gloves. Some need to get a grip. One thing I think was over the top for Kessel was the press conference to announce that he was going to Minnesota. To me that kind of sets a precedence of being a pre-madonna. Thats my HMO. Honestly I am sick of hearing about Kessel all the time 24/7. I think Oshie has done just as much as Kessel has this year.

That is a touching article. I know Karl lives in Grand Forks, ND during the off season because I see him and his wife and kid walking down the street every once in a while. Speaking of goalies Eddie Belfour was honored before the Leafs and Bruins game at center ice for breaking Terry Sawchucks record of wins. His dog even made it to center ice.

Wow, what a cool article. I hope we can keep this kid around for a few years.

Blake had a goal and an assist to end the game. Jason assisted on the islanders last goal and it was an amazing pass.

Merry Christmas to all.

Zach and Jason Blake both have goals tonight in the Game between the Islanders and the Dirt Devils.

Haven't we played Brown during a holiday classic a few years back too. Maybe like 2002?

I suppose one could say that this isn't the year to lose that long streak. I think UND can keep it going if they play like a team and focus on getting the puck out the defensive zone and keep the puck in the Crimson zone most of the game. I would bet money that they don't have a line like Stafford, Zajac and Spirko.

That is a good example of the childish behavior GK has displayed. If you don't agree with people's point of view and perspective you just villifiy them and call them racist and say they are a bunch of classless rubes. GK probably learned that tactic from his white college professors in the arts and sciences department. I notice they have been writing the op ed department of the Grand Forks Herald a lot lately.

Honestly I think that with the schedule that UND has the Sioux could finish 3rd or 4th in the league. There are 18 games left and we only play C.C. twice, UMN two more times and Denver twice. The rest of the teams we play are bottoms feeders in the league.

UND has not lost to an EZAC team for a long time. I mean its like 15-20 I believe.

I just think that losing to a EZAC team isn't an option. Hak has to teach the boys that it doesn't get any easier than this, maybe except for MTU and UAA. I believe we must win these two games. I also believe we can and will. Some of the experienced gents need to step it up this next weekend. As for Scoring the combo of Stafford, Spirko and Zajac have really shinned lately and are making a moves in the points departments. Lets hope that continues. Lastly it appears the two headed monster has returned in net.

Not to sound too cocky but if you went through our line up. I'd bet any money that UND is more sound that Harvard. Zajac, Spirko, Stafford Miller Porter Duncan Watkins, Kozick, Prpich Kaip, Fabin. with who ever. I suppose Foyt. Thats not a bad line up. Tweek the lines which ever way you but I like our chances against a second tier team like Harvard. My guess is that BSU was a tougher team. The goalies might get some work with some of the guys that will be playing but Marvin looked better last time he played on Defense.

It really hasn't come up here as of yet but Phil played an awesome game in net and he stopped 30+ shots in the game and has quitely got his Save percentage above 90%. In fact I was telling someone this morning that he single handily kept the Sioux in the game until we took over the game at the end. So I suppose he will be get more playing time.

If I am not mistaken we haven't done that well when wearing them so I would imagine we may not see them this year. GK has nothing better to do than troll on the UND message board. Pathetic.

Most of us think he is nothing more than a troll and is probably a Goofer fan.

Division one hockey is going to have to do something, but I just don't want the make up of our league changing, I like the fact that UND gets to play rougly 10 non conference games every year. It gives the fans a chance to see how they stack up against the rest of the competition.
