    Refs like Denver

    I thought Frank Serratore absolutely nailed it with his comments. He did not act like a whiner or sore loser, he made the point that his team got hosed. AF is not as skilled or speedy as DU and many fans who have not experienced the reffing advantage that DU has received this year will think that Frank had to have his boys clutch, grab and poke more than normal just to try to keep pace. I too lost every once of respect I had for Monty on the weekend UND played there in November. It is hard to like opposing players or coaches, but Monty WAS one I actually liked. All coaches should stand up for their bench, some do it with dignity like Serratore, Blais or Berry and then their is Montgomery. That series and the series DU had vs the Clowns a week previous put Motzko way ahead of Monty in the most likely opposing NCHC coach to succeed category. 

    Me too!  I thought Monty was a class act when he congratulated UND on their NC.  Then, he went to class-less with his screaming at the refs after the Friday UND@DU game.  With what I've seen from the SCSU situation and now AF, this guy has become a complete joke.

    With the speed and skill on the DU team it isn't that farfetched that they are going to get more PPs than their opponents but the disparity has been, in a word, newsworthy.  The NCHC should look into this but, as stated above, it will likely not be addressed.

    Prospective Recruits

    With seeing all these high end commitment to other schools lately. Does UND have higher end recruits they are looking at or is there about to be a low recruiting class about to come in at a couple years? Is UND putting to much into landing Rizzo?

    I don't expect UND to get all the top recruits, well I don't see them pulling a Wisconsin.

    I think UND is pretty loaded in the pipeline right now.  I am excited to see what the likes of Gavin Hain, Judd Caulfield, and Harrison Blaisdell (among others) bring to the table.  I am sure the brass will be announcing some ’02 or ’03 (birth year) recruits soon.  I wouldn’t mind seeing them bring an ‘overager’ in to replace Gornall next year.  Where is the next Steph Pattyn playing junior hockey?

    Looking at our stable of D-men … in just the ’00 birth year we have a top 31 NHL projected player (Tychonick), a top MNHS defenseman (Frisch), and a guy that is putting up good numbers in the AJHL (JB-D).  Also Luke Reid (Penticton) is having a break-out rookie campaign as a 16 year-old as he has been on the top pairing at least a few times.

    Our goalie position seems to be secure for the next several years.
