I'm going out on a limb and calling SWEEP! Two close games though.

Agreed. Evgeni Malkin is the real deal.
Yup, although he struggled withon James Neal's bomb. Now that Neal is back I expect malkin's production to improve. Their PP is absolutely filthy.

They're at 11 wins and 7 loses in the worst division in the league. Dont get too excited.
Yeah....but they have the best player in the world, hands down, no questions asked. I'm a Blackhawks fans, but there is no other team I would rather watch than the Pens. Super good team. If they win the Cup this year would not be overly shocked. Hawks v. Pens in the Cup would be awesome.

Sorry, Dave the Penguins will not be in the Finals in the spring. Here's to wishful thinking, though.
I wouldn't go that far.

Exactly....UND football was carried on one of the radio stations in Dickinson to start the season but then it changed to your home of Bison football....midseason. We are light years behind NDSU in the athletic department.
Because our FCS football program isn't as good as theirs? Palease....doesn't our hockey program alone bring in more money than all their sports combined? I could be wrong on this. Either way...you get outside of this area and nobody knows who NDSU is unless you are die hard college football fan. I travel for work and everyone I meet and chat sports with still thinks UND has this awesome d2 football program and great hockey program. I have to remind them that NDSU has the football program (latest response I got was "yeah whatever same thing")
-
I see NDSU signs all over my commute in the Twin Cities - they're everywhere.
I see tons of UND signs too, in the Cities that is. Commercials, radio ads, etc. UND advertising is everywhere.
-
My friends from the Cities are looking for two tickets for Saturday night's game. Please PM me if any are available.
Thanks!

Because they are not first round picks
True but they are draft picks nonetheless. And first rounders don't play college hockey anymore, you know that
-
in relation, how can you have 15 NHL draft picks and be lacking skill up front?
Exactly....we have more draft picks than any other team in the country. We should not have a problem competing against any team in the country. And two of our undrafted players (caggs and stetch) are playing like our best players. We need a sweep against umd this weekend.

No, you have a third type as well, those that continually express how bad Hakstol is, but say "I'm not in the fire Hak crowd." So if we are continually underperforming as you suggest, what crowd do you fall in?
I would say I agree with your third type and would fall into that classification. I don't think Hak should be fired, however, he has to change something because his teams have been lacking motivation (obvious) for at least two years now. We'll see what happens I guess.

Was not pretty….but we'll take the points and move on.

Simpson-Schmaltz
Mattson-LaDue
Stecher-Panzarella
Saunders
Gothberg
Out: Thompson, Tambellini, St. Clair, Ausmus, O'Donnell, Hrynkiw
That first line is hilarious. Blown away with those lines.

UND just goes through the motions...
There was 0 sense of urgency last night...hak's team don't get that until Christmas. Totally sick of it but no way we get rid of Hak.
-
The only reason I wrote that is because when they swept BSU after a weekend of playing another lower ranked team (or unranked), they went to number one. Seemed odd if strength of schedule matters....to me anyway. Now they played a closely ranked team with a different result, people were saying "what is wrong with Mn", when again I thought nothing was wrong, they were just playing a better team! So that's why I wrote it. Comments like that are wrote on here all the time, but thanks for saying mine is " Mn like"...
Not a big deal, I was simply confused.
-
I am also scratching my head at the line combos last night. It appears Hak was going after a more balanced approach. I'm curious why he would do that given our struggles to score. I would think, for confidence reasons, he would put our top 6 actually into our top 6.
Rocco- Johnson - parks
Caggs- markmac- chyzk, or someone to plug here.
I'll I'm saying is load up the top 6. Super confused as to why he was rolling 4 last night. Tonight I want to see our top players log huge minutes.
-
They also played a real contender in BC a couple of weeks ago. 2-1-1 in those four games vs. BC and Notre Dame, not bad.
Very true....not sure what bigskyvikes is even talking about. Not a time to talk when our team is not good. That's more of a "mn fan" move.
-
It's starting to appear that we blanked on certain recruits for a number of years. Our Juniors, I was expecting, were to be so much better.
-
ummm...1-4 in league play doesn't equal average in my head...
Haha very true.
-
TWO more times in that sequence with goalie pulled. SMH
I hope you weren't counting the time where the puck was fed to him double covered.
-
We have a pretty average team this year…not sure what's going on.

Not sure how I missed it….deleted my original post.

I wouldn't put too much into it. Jumping over the boards and playing effectively are two separate things. I don't think I would question his leadership or toughness. He takes a ton of crap. But some teams have been able to get to him in the playoffs (Flyers, Bruins). However, he still is the best player in the world. He has a gold medal, Cup, etc. Not only does he do it in the regular season but he does it well in all sorts of meaningful games/formats. He's obviously legit and will go down as one of the best players to do it.
