I wonder why Bulldogs or Huskies never materialized?

Wow what a terrible choice. Sad day. How did such a bland name make it this far? I would have been somewhat disappointed with RR but it could have lived with it. Several months ago I never saw this one materializing.

Bowen does have a decent amount of skill however, I actually thought he would be putting up better numbers. The fact Easton Brodzinski is finding success while Bowen is struggling is shocking to me. I watched several Blaine games last year and never thought Easton was outstanding, simply a pretty good high school player. Bowen was dominant. Now I fully understand the BCHL is much different league than single A MN high school hockey however I was expecting a better start out of Bowen. Especially given the team he's on. Here's hoping to him picking it up; I think it would be very wise of him to spend another year up there or in Fargo. For confidence reasons.

....and White Buffalo.

Agreed. It's a good league with some high end players however it's not a deep league so those high end players put up video game numbers. If you aren't at a pt/game pace in the BCHL the next level could be tough on you. From what I've heard the NA is pretty close to the BCHL. I noticed Luke Voltin is actually putting up a few points too.

I am extremely conservative in my views....and still find this thread pretty borderline. I get it, but it's still kind of sickening.

Did UNO have 3 different goalies play a few years back? Blais seems to rotate his goalies every so often.

how the heck do we get caught with simo's line out their against their only good line at the end of the game at home. I'll put a little bit of that on the coaches

This is the thinnest I have seen Miami's team in some time. They don't have a lot of depth whatsoever. Several high enders obviously; that's most likely why they have had trouble scoring goals this year.

They're dominating tonight too. That's how hockey goes I guess.

wow these guys need to bury one.

I can't believe this is actually a thread.

Bingo, that's all I was trying to say earlier.

What's up with Joel J? Got his first college pt last night and played well I thought. Didn't he have a concussion earlier? I wonder if something is lingering

It looked close on the replay I saw. I watched it like 10 times this morning because some people on Twitter were calling it offsides. Also, I am agreeing with you it wasn't offsides.

I thought the boys looked good last night. Tons of puck movement and both the forwards and D were really aggressive when Miami had the puck, it gave them no space to make anything happen. I noted this last night but our D core is so good, it really masks the inexperience of some of our younger forwards. The first pass out of the zone has been incredible. Hopefully Ladue isn't too dinged up. One player I have been really impressed with is Rhett G., he is a really good 4th liner. I was one who initially thought he could use another year playing in the USHL but I was wrong, he definitely has played a pretty important role so far. My one knock so far is our PK %, boy is it sketchy. I can't remember if they were weaker goals but the boys need to shore that up. Miami only had 2-3 decent scoring chances last night (Kuraly break away/Melnick up close) and they ended up with 2 goals. I'm guessing it will be a close game tonight.

It was pretty close. But the right call was made.

wow

our D core is ridiculous

boys should be jacked playing a ranked team (finally). If we get average goaltending I'm going with a Sioux sweep.

I think we stack up favorably this weekend. Miami lost a ton of fire power so the only thing they can do is play solid D. We should be able to wear them down over 3 periods. Hopefully our goalie plays well and theirs doesn't

While that point is valid to me (I too think it's too bad that RR is a final option as Red River has that name), there is a pretty large resentment towards anything Hawks. So much so that many people I know are going from Nodaks to RR. Probably not enough though, too many students.

You know, there are a lot of GF folks that are now voting RR. Pretty much everyone I have spoken too excluding current students (which truly doesn't reflect the folks that have always lived there). That last comment appears rather unintelligent.

Both are so bad and/or uninspiring. I guess RR may have my vote. Better be a damn good logo.

I agree. He seems to get shaky early in games. That's not what you want against a high end team. He did settle down well but when he's off he's really off.
