Every program has a chance. To say that the Gophers don't have an advantage over UND in the Twin Cities is disingenuous. You grabbed Parise out of our backyard, and we grabbed Potulny out of yours. Difference is, neither grew up a big Gopher or Sioux fans respectively. As for Gersich, no one is saying it's a lock. But his dad played for the Gophers, and three of his uncles played for the Gophers. He grew up a Gopher hockey fan. Who would you say has the recruiting advantage?
Potulnys weren't Sioux fans when they were younger? Reading some of u guys posts is hilarious. All GF boys are Sioux fans when they are younger.

At 6-5-2...one of two things is true. This squad is either 1) very overrated and overhyped or 2) extremely underacheiving? You pick.
Like someone stated above, this continuing 1st half _____ (fill in the blank) play under Hak's tenure is "getting old". Schloss mentioned on the live chat last night that this is 8 years running with this type of 1st half play like it was some kind of badge of honor!
This constant scenario will backfire at some point.This team stinks on Saturdays to date so tonight's game is far from a lock. Watched DU/WI last night...a split next weekend IMO is best case scenario. Then travel to Tech. So once again, Hak's squad will have backed itself into a corner by Christmas break as I see this team at 8-8-2 at that juncture. 13 games in and UND still has issues defensively and can't get anything consistently going offensively. Goaltendening has been good minus last night.
Just another season of hopefully making a 2nd half run, getting a #2 or #3 seed and then hoping not to get shipped into someone's back yard for the NCAA..."getting old" was well said.
You know you are exactly right. I have no doubt this team will turn it around as they have too much talent, however, when sloppy play and a lack of effort occurs for half a season you put yourself in tight position where you have to hope for a run....only to most likely flame out early. They will make their push and start firing on all cylinders; I just hope it starts tonight. I too don't want to see them put in a position where they have to roll off 13 straight wins just to be sent somewhere else.
For some reason I never thought this bad start would occur this season. Last year was different, they lost tons of scoring and the injury bug was as bad as I've seen on any team. I thought that experience they received last year would help them tremendously. Hopefully things turn around tonight.

.....super tough to watch.
-
I hope that Passit guy doesn't get after me but UND is super weak in their own zone...been saying it all year. I know they will figure it out but something, currently, must be tweaked...because this team looks below average.

38 saves for Saunders already. WTF is with the D?
18 saves for saunders
-
We just need to finish.
And close up our D.
No doubt.
-
Pretty disappointing start to the season. These guys need to buckle down and take care of business.
-
We finally get our overall D to play UND hockey then the "hot goalie" is going to bite us in the a**!
Haha me and some buddies were just saying the same thing....I'm feeling a huge third! We have to blow somebody out sooner or later.
-
Yes, I recall Hakstol saying that in a pregame interview, as well. He said that the forwards have a lot of responisbility to get their feet moving and make themselves available for breakout passes.

Yes, I saw goon's edit.

The only one I see leaving early is Bjugstad
Schmidt's gone, Budish should be gone. Haula shouldn't.
-
No, Brad Berry is a well respected and great defensive coach... I don't see anything to be concerned about... Hakstol has already said the reason that UND is facing so many shots is that the forwards are getting back as he would like.
Not being critical whatsoever, but what do you mean by that comment?
-
If I may play devil's advocate here, Mike Guentzel was away from the Gopher program for 5 years but he made an immediate and obvious difference in the Gophers D last year. So if UND's defensive unit isn't performing up to par yet than I think Sioux fans have a right to be concerned and even critical of Berry up to this point.
I don't agree with you at all....Berry is not only an outstanding recruiter but also a great coach. It is not his fault the D (and O, in their own zone) are playing subpar so far this year (yes, I'm expecting some dumb comment from the passhappy guy).

Then Portland came out and responded to the charges and then were fined 25,000.00.
Haha

Forget the fine. What happened to their future drafts is going to hurt them for a real long time.
Agreed.

Portland Winterhawks hit hard with penalties for a series of "player benefit violations"

It's nice to see the CHL cracking down on illegal recruiting tactics by some teams
Just read that on TSN....big time fine!
-
Keaton should be able to finish school this year and play for UND next year....he is ready. Agree on the McCoshen loss...that was a big one. When it was taking him so long to decide it didn't surprise me he picked a school which wasn't on his initial list of schools. He must not have been convinced before.
-
Sioux stay at #7 (USCHO)....hopefully we take 4 against CC this week.
-
I don't care if people are unhappy about things, but there's been a consistent trend with this guy where all he does is talk trash about UND and then he makes sure to tack on the standard, "I think they will get better", "I love the Sioux sooooo much, but" or whatever it is to make himself sound reasonable.
This is the same guy that said we were the worst defensive team in the country and we have been outplayed in all but one game this year and that Andrew MacWilliam is an uncontrollable thug that Hakstol is afraid of, or something.
Like I said earlier, I think this guy is a "concern troll" that hates UND.
Calm down buddy. I am no troll nor do I hate UND. You tend to sound off quite frequently too I might add. I simply was saying the team has not been playing up to its potential...which is obviously true. End of topic.
-
You mad because I saw through your little game?
Then, don't be so obvious next time.
I have no idea what you are referring to. -
I think UND will sweep Colorado College, Thorimbert hasn't looked good this season, Howe who I believe is the better of the two goalies has looked bad also. If Zane plays this weekend give him the start Friday and Clarke the start Saterday.
I'm calling sweep as well.
-
haha. get a grip. Andrew MacWilliam is a good guy and he plays physical, but totally honest and clean hockey.
Stop painting this picture that he's a monster. Save that for Gopher Puck Live.
your shtick is getting tiresome.....
Yes I know....but the penalties he is taking this year are terrible. I know they will turn it around come January but so far it has been tough to watch. FYI...I'm not a goph fan. Classy reply however.
-
I am glad that Coach Hakstol doesn't rely on SS to make decisions on players. Mac is a good defenseman and respected team member in the lockerroom and on the ice.
No doubt...I know he is good. Probably should have waited until the morning to post anything. I'm just upset at the terrible timing of his penalties. The Anders Lee one was terrible.

Yeah, he would be a nice one to have now.
