  1. Anyone with any knowledge on Drake and his status for this weekend?

    After seeing his incident happen right in front of us, my gut says he sits this weekend as a precautionary measure.

    I was in the box kiddy-corner from the injury so I honestly didn't see what happened only read about it. I agree that it would be best if he sat the weekend unless he simply got a stinger and is ok.

  2. Really?

    You realize I was referring to the fact that BC is currently ROTATING their goalies, right?

    Yes, I was actually agreeing with you that Demko IS their goalie. I guess I could see where an extremely defensive person could misconstrue what I posted to think I was trying to correct you. Haha, settle down buddy.

  3. I remember educating my wife about Toewser...Oshie was flashier with the dangles and big hits, Duncan racked up the goals, but Toewser was a PERFECT hockey player. He did everything right.

    I was just telling by Goofer buddy that I thought Toews was the best college hockey player I have seen in my lifetime. As far as a complete hockey player goes. He was super young but I had the feeling he was going to be an NHL star. I didn't know he would go on to captain to Cups before the age of 26 (I believe).

  4. What is it with Hakstol-coached teams winning on Friday night and laying a big, fat, steaming turd on Saturday night? Hopefully, this team will develop consistency by Christmas. And I think winning at home will be important in a stacked conference like the NCHC.

    Agreed this has now become a very constant theme. However the team did not look that bad...they were put in a tough spot because Zane played so poorly.

  5. My issue with the powerplay is that they always dump the puck on zone entry. And they dump it hard. You see teams like Minnesota carry the zone with numbers, gain the line and then boom....its set up and they're moving it around the perimeter looking for a shot. Dumping a puck isn't the worst thing, but we see the same hard ring every single time to the weak side, then its a 50/50 puck.

    I guess if they are going to dump the puck I'd like to see a soft cross ice play (like a lob shot in golf) into the weakside corner where you have the weakside wing going with speed to get to it first.

    Seems like every team runs an umbrella now. UND is no different. They try to get a body in front and get a one timer from somebody to make the goaltender move which creates a better chance for a rebound. Last nights powerplay goal was pretty lucky. But then again you can't ever be mad at a guy for getting the puck to the net.

    They ring it around the boards hoping to hit the far man.....that is how almost all nhl teams run the pp. The thinking is that two men will be there. Didn't look overly pretty last night...they'll figure it out.

  6. Spot on...and I'll add a couple things

    * Stecher was great and Mattson stepped up.

    * Chyzyk created some offensive chances. I like that line with Johnson and Murphy.

    * St. Clair has a motor... he is non-stop.

    * Rocco has to be more assertive with the puck.

    *LeDue has made big stride in just 3 games.

    Big win by a young team. I like their makeup and moxie.

    Haha now you're coming around regarding ladue...I wasn't worried for a sec :). Miami was in full blown shut down mode when Rocco's line was out there.
