What? Knee on knee, no doubt, and no suspension? such a fine message that sends.

I agree with you. We were beaten like a dead horse in the 2nd and 3rd periods and quite fortunate it wasn't more than 1 all going in to the 3rd period thanks to some very good goal tending by Scheel and poor "puck luck" by St. Clown. Funny, but you never hear our folks talking about the other team's poor "puck luck", guess it only happens to our team.

MM, I know what you're implying but you're wrong my man. "Puck luck" will finally even out and we'll win 4-2 both nights vs Duluth. We would of whupped (not just swept!) CC's ass if not for real tough "puck luck"/"hot goalie".

Uhhhh, yeah.

HUH? You have got to be kidding, right? UND was totally outplayed the last two periods. Tell me you're kidding, please.

I get your point but that's why you play the game. LOWLY Canisius swept us so why can't we, with a program of our stature and high-end recruits/draft picks, win one game or even sweep St Cloud?! Plus we're at home. Plus it's on NHL size rink. But no, we get embarrassed/outclassed the last two periods. There's gotta be change.

BB: Culture, we played hard, we... Me: UND totally out-classed, we are deficient in speed and offensive skills/finishing.

How could they not effin review that? They play the game about focus on player safety (i.e. contact to the head) but don't review knee to knee? WTF?

You said it, we were so over-matched skill and speed-wise. Embarrassing. And yes, our 2nd periods suck every game.

You summed it up. We all know the reason, the elephant in the room. There better be a change after this season or this cold go on for several years.

YES. Following the 1st period tonight, watching the 2nd and 3rd periods, it became so obvious to this non-hockey great mind and never played hockey that St Cloud is light years ahead of us speed-wise and offensive-skill wise. I'm not sure our 1st line is as good as their 3rd line. It's painful, how the eff did it get to this in just 2 seasons? Seriously. This has gotta change, no excuse for this proud program who lands top recruits.

f___ puck luck TH, we are inferior to half the teams in college hockey (i.e. average)

Isn't that a car?

In retrospect/hindsight is 20-20, 1st period was perfect.

Let freakin' go boys!!! If Canisius can sweep UND then by all means UND can freakin' sweeps St Clown! Are you all in for positive attitude? Good!!!

and when they outshoot teams by more than 10!!!

To be honest, I quit using it about 2 years ago due to my slice. It just wasn't worth it.

Hmm, Mondray (sp?) perhaps?

Yup, that's how we managed to make it "respectable" (losing by "just" 30 pts). Otherwise, the result would have been a 50 - 60 point loss (I am not kidding).

Seriously, in this day and age of the 3 point fg and defenders can't hand check players w/o being whistled for a foul, how can we only get 16 pts in a half with div 1 basketball players and be shooting 18% midway thru the 3rd qtr? It just boggles my mind. Are we recruiting that bad or are the players simply not improving after they arrive (prime example, senior Bailey Strand).

Now back to back to back losses. And tonight's 30 point loss (gulp) vs S Dak was not that close. We were down by 42 and the deficit growing but we had like a 12 point run in 4th qtr vs their subs. Shoot 24%, 1 of 15 on 3 pt fg attempts, and 23 turnovers. This is getting embarrassing, not even semi-competitive.

Yup, hole 8 is as tough a par 3 that there is (was?) around this neck of the woods and hole 9 was arguably the toughest par 4 in the Forks area (for this duffer anyhow).

Guessing you meant AFC East, Mafia Man?
