  1. I think the coaches need to take a trip to Shattuck St. Mary's and look at Niko Esposito Selivanov on the AA team, and yes this is Phil Esposito's grandson.

    Niko is a 9th grader 98 birth year. In 23 games he's (13-22-35).

  2. A nice gesture in theory...an epic fail in execution. The banner with Bure's #10 jersey on it is in the current Canucks colors of white, blue, and green. Pavel wore the flying skate with black, yellow, red, and white. Terrible, Vancouver, terrible.

    I agree too, they did the same with Stan Smyl and Trevor Linden. Bure also wore the red, white, blue, and dark blue with the killer whale "C" logo.

  3. Some thoughts:

    ~UND didn't exactly get swept by the little sisters of the poor. SCSU is a pretty good hockey club. So I'm not jumping off any ledges yet.

    ~I'm upset that they didn't test Faragher at all during this series. Probably one of his easier weekends in a SCSU jersey.

    ~Stecher was UND's best player this weekend. I don't think I can remember a time when a Freshman defenseman was UND's best player for an entire weekend.

    ~The one area that was pretty consistent was goaltending. Zane was steady all weekend.

    ~Hak said post game that the effort was there. A bit concerning because SCSU dominated play for some prolonged stretches.

    Its November. I didn't have this team winning the NCHC. And I'm sure glad that trophies aren't handed out in November. I think UND has played the top two teams in the league with mixed results. They've put themselves in a hole early, but at the same time there are plenty of league games left to get into the mix.

    I remember a few years ago UND got swept at home by Michigan Tech in the middle of December. I was ticked, I threw stuff around the house, and vowed that that team wasn't going anywhere.....well, that team proved me wrong. I think this team will prove some doubters wrong eventually too.

    Zane had a goal each night that he shouldn't have let in (the first one tonight and the second on Friday).

    I don't see how nobody can make passes consistently. (tape to tape passes, not in the skates)

    Entries into the offensive zone, either chip the puck off the boards and use the speed this team has the beat the defenseman or throw the puck in the corner and go get it. Ringing the puck around the boards makes it easier for the other team to break the puck out.

    Power Play is atrocious, can't set it up, entry into the zone is stopped on the blue line or someone rings the puck around the boards. The power play need crisp passes, the guys need to move to get open when they don't have the puck, and puck movement. It's not hard to beat UND's power play when the guys out there stand there or stand in a spot and stick handle. How about the coach in charge of the power play try 4 forward and 1 defenseman.

    Why were there times in the offensive that all 3 forward are below the red line trying to get the puck out of a corner?

  4. I don't think Miami is going to leave the NCHC and Western Michigan begged to get into the NCHC so, I would take rumor with a grain of salt. BGSU was also one of the last schools to accept the invitation to get into the WCHA.

    It sounds like a recycled story

  5. Bye week in a way but USA u18 does feature Shane Gersich coming in Saturday who is a top recruit for UND this next fall. Brotens nephew seems to be having a solid first year away from MNHS.

    Per brads blog team USA will be playing the fargo force Friday night before they head to the Ralph. That's a hell of a schedule competition wise that USA plays going from ushl games to top tier college programs!

    This game features the Pink outlined NORTH DAKOTA STRONG hockey jerseys that are being auctioned off.

    Stay healthy and I wonder if all three goalies get some ice time?? Hope to see Rodwell and Thompson.

    Any uncommitted kids on us u18 to keep an eye on?? Looks like there are just a couple listed that aren't commited.

    Only three players are uncommitted. Goalie #1 Blake Weyrick, forward Nolan Stevens #18, and forward Tyler Sheehy #15 (Sheehy will play for Des Moines this year). Right now Jordan Greenway would be the guy to go after on the U-17 team.

    Isn't Hrynkiw still injured?
