    Regarding the article today about Janatuinen and not getting called till 6:45 to be at the rink cause he had to play.... does anybody else find it odd that the guys that aren't dressed don't need to be at the rink til literally game time or when was Jana heading to the rink?  Very odd to me.

    You are one bright and inquisitive guy  :;) -)  cus I literally thought the very same thing upon reading the article.

    I think the NCHC top three all have a good shot at the Frozen Four.   And since defense wins championships I gotta put UMD (who led the NCHC in goals allowed) as a strong contender.    Looks like some great matchups.

    If it plays out as a Denver vs St Cloud semifinal, I would definitely stay to see (or come early).   Two of the best hockey clubs I've seen in a long while.   Just not as good as UND. :)

    I'm a long-time and huge Fighting Sioux fan but Denver ain't been half bad since the turn of the New Year.  Whether we play Denver, St Clown or even UMD (assuming they all make it) it will not be easy my man. I'm assuming "on paper" UMD will be the most motivated in light of fighting to make the NCAA tourney (where are they at in the PW?).

    Didn't SUU go winless one year until we played them and they beat us. Jones needs this tourney to save his job. 

    Yup.  Believe they were like 1-15 or something like that in the BSC 2 or 3 seasons ago and we lost to 'em I think with a half decent team.  Another fine coaching job by Jones that season.

    Thanks! I've never heard that one at the Ralph either. 

    In high school sports in Wis it would be disallowed, seriously.  There's basically no "negative" cheering allowed now in high school sports there.  So, no "air ball", "miss" (when an opposing player is attempting a free throw),...

    Something you guys won't ever have to worry about.

    I guess we can parade around our 7 div 1-A upper tier natty trophies in just ONE sport to NDSU's ??? how many div 1-A upper tier natty trophies (I'm not talking lower tier div titles here) for ALL sports?

    If they were going to Brookings then they woulds have a beef. But Sioux Falls?

    WTH.  I can see putting a trophy in the Fargo Scheels store but that's about it.  Would of thought marketing for Scheels would of been a little brighter but sometimes arrogance clouds good judgment.

    They should cut sports before the band.

    Agree.  I realize title 9 plays a big part so perhaps cut men's tennis and cross-country and also women's tennis to save bucks.  Those are life-long adult sports/recreation that are single/duo with playing/training opportunities well into later years of life (e.g. unlike football, baseball, hockey,...).

    I haven't seen anyone say anything, but if Cam pitches a shut out my math says he takes over the lead in GAA along with his current leadership in save %, as Alex Lyon from Yale has the weekend off.  Good Luck Cam!

    Ya jinxed him : ), 3 goals/4 shots.

    What a great run the ladies have had - I hope we can continue it next week.

    I have watched BB for many years - I don't believe I have ever seen so many shots that were "in and out" as MSU had today.

     

    Agree on the in/out shots for MSU but at least 3 or 4 of our ft's in the last minute or two of the game were same too.....very "close misses".

    I see Roscoe's half-court+ shot made Sportscenter's top ten plays tonight.

    Yah, nice night for UND.  Besides her top #8 play (w/o that, we lose), I read here that Schmaltz's goal was #3 play of the day.  Good day for the Sioux!

    I like the song too.  I think they could start with that for the pregame video and transition to a more upbeat song (welcome to the jungle?).

    Still think Chelsea Dagger should be the touchdown song - make it more of a UND thing than hockey only.  Everybody loves pumping their arms at the hockey games, and hockey fans should be the target market for the football marketing people.

    Excellent idea for the Chelsea Dagger song.  And do like Chicago BH's do too I believe and at end of Sioux hockey and other UND sports, play that song at the end of the game whenever they win.

    Well, NDSU went on the road and beat UND due to horrible end-of-game execution and planning, so there's that road win for them. 

    Why should UND be content with how poor the league is at going on the road and winning? Are you okay finishing 3rd every season? I'm not. That won't ever result in an NCAA tournament appearance. It's fun to win games at home, but rarely winning on the road is not okay. Yes, Montana and Weber State are the outliers in that they consistently win on the road, but they also consistently win the conference. No coincidence there.

    Would UND men's hockey be okay finishing 3rd in the NCHC every season? Give them a pat on the back and say, "good work, you met expectations and finished 3rd"?

    Would we be okay with Bubba saying, "our goal is to move UND to the 3rd best position in the Big Sky Conference." Hell no.

    Lets wake up and try to be competitive. The Big Sky Conference is ran by a couple bullies in Montana and Montana State and UND needs to wake up and punch them in the mouth. Stop being so damn conservative and go for the win. 

    UND football got into position by hiring Bubba (thank God), now it's UND MBB's turn. 

    You forgot the third bully, Weber State.

    :huh:

    An 8-1 thumping of Western Michigan. An undisputed, outright Penrose Cup Championship. And you are complaining?

    The boys got a 5-0 lead and took their foot off the gas pedal. It happens in all sports. Do you really think they would have gotten sloppy if the game was 2-0 or even 3-0?

    Let's enjoy tonight for what it is and not look for things to worry about.

    I gotta think burd was being sarcastic, right...?

    No "Yah Buts" please. We are exceeding everyone's expectations except our own and the team's. 

     

    "Yah but" weren't predictions so low for us this year cus Jones had/coached such a bad team last year?

    I was listening to the game at work (shhhhh) and those missed free throws were making me so nervous!!

    How big was Roscoe's half court trey at end of 3rd quarter, wow!  Great game, very intense.

    I attended the open forum tonight. They hope to have a new logo/branding done by May 31.

    They will start with five designs, then narrow it down to three, and then finally two. Once at two they will test the concepts.

    They asked six questions in regard to the logo/branding and allowed time for comments/discussion. 

     

    *If you're interested in providing feedback, here is the Survey Monkey link 

     

    Will they allow us to vote for "no logo" basically and just keep interlocking UND?  Wait, haven't we been down that road before and then at the last minute.....

    Weber State is down 20 going into the 4th quarter.  Looks like we might get a bye.

    I'm confident this team can do well on a neutral floor as they've been road warriors these past 6 - 8 weeks.  Their top 3 freshmen are really helping the team out (tonight Morton with 10, the Edmore girl hit 2 quick treys and Klabo chipped in a few points too) and it seems like they get scoring from all sources as needed lately.  Playing 9 players deep/regularly, nice balanced scoring tonight and had a huge 49-28 rebounding edge I believe.  That kind of rebounding margin certainly helps off-sets the damage done by their propensity for high number of turnovers.  Missed free throws can be a bug-a-boo at times (not a very good percentage tonight) but luckily tonight's game not a very tight one.  Not to get ahead but they might be partaking in the big dance in few weeks, probably as good a shot as 2 or 3 other leading teams in the Big Sky.
