Yah, Brew's Crew does it again. Man, nice streak, but they sure make it difficult. Not pretty doing it and every game close but they keep pulling them out despite continuing trouble at times with Knox and Szhablo (sp?) in handling the ball with care.

Klabo is really starting to come on as a frosh. She's definitely earned a spot in the top 7 or 8 rotation and looks to be moving up even higher. I like her moves inside and agility considering her height. She's gonna be a good one, no doubt. The other two frosh looked good tonight too, provided spark.

Maybe not but my point was he was a "human highlight reel since age 12" (as the poster posted) and now not doing very well as a college senior. Maybe just a slump (albeit, nearly half a season) in his sr season. 8 pts in 16 games is certainly a slump, guessing he hopes that's all it is.

Hmm, maybe. Tonight they played a really good 3rd period to get the game tied up and probably deserved that 4th goal but lost in ot. Effort there and result should have been better but sooner or late though puck luck and/or up against a hot goalie run their course. I did figure though when Dal go the 3rd goal to go up 3-2 in 2nd period I belive that it was very doubtful Min with their lack of goal scoring could get 4 goals to beat them. Sure enough, that came true.

Hah, that's exactly what AC fans thought too in the late 80s/very early 90s (we lost like 10-12 years straight to the knuckleheads) but then it changed.....

Yah, regionalization. No different than UND women's hoops in the late 80s to mid 90s. They were consistently a top ten to top five D-2 team nationally yet couldn't even advance past their own NCAA region to the national final 8 as NDSU was super team too (that obviously changed late 90s to early 2000s). Not really fair but that was the system in place.

No different than that U.S. soccer player who was a prodigy like at age 15 (Freddie Adue, the supposed next Pele) yet never became anything special at the pro level as an adult. Same as with many teenage female pro tennis players of years past. Reach their highest level/burn out at an early age. Thought Michelle Wie (sp?) was going to be in that group too although she's been quite successful as a pro (dominating though, no).

Wow, blast from the past. Yah, I recall that game at Hyslop like I recall the 2001 football NCAA semi-final home game vs Cal-Davis. The place was rocking. Believe me, I don't believe it was uncommon at all in the 70s and late 80s/early 90s to get 3.5k to 5k+ attendance at Hyslop for some games.

No, not here, but remember to just take it one game at a time and it ain't over 'til it's over.

Hrbek signed a home town "discount" contract, along with Puckett (who was from Chicago but adopted Mpls as hometown), Mauer though sought and got his hometown "plus" contract knowing the Twins could ill-afford not to sign him so he tightened the noose. Thx Joe.

Fact, Goofer men's hoops #228 and UND #227. They (Minn) are historically bad.

He was in street clothes Sat with the team. Quite sure he's academically ineligible. Wish we had him, he would be coming off the bench instead of Shanks.

Yah, Atl in '98 (following the 15-1), when G. Anderson missed from 40 yds or so after being perfect all season...Voo-doo reigns over the Vikes.

: -) I could of made a 27 yard fg, seriously.

NCHC needs to get to 10 teams and offer to Minn State-Mankato and the opportunity to join.

They (SCSU administration) was arguably the most outspoken against the Fighting Sioux nickname/logo issue yet had the most complaints/legal issues filed against them. Can't make it up.

I was just thinking the Vikes were a poor man's Denver Broncos (okay offense, good defense) this season and if they up both a notch next season no reason they can't make the Super Bowl. Hell, we should of beat Denver on the road there this past season..

Wow, the state of U Minn athletics teams. And sport #3, football soon to follow... Could U Minn soon be impeached from the Big 10?

Another bad loss tonight, 4-1 to the Blues. Fire Yeo (albeit, not all his fault), get a new coach, and blow this team up in 4 weeks if it doesn't change. This losing/non-winning streak is getting ridiculous from a team expected to surely make the playoffs and maybe even contend. I dare say Philly, who was expected to be in the lower 1/5 of the NHL's teams and not make the playoffs, has gotta have near the same record as Minn now (more with less). Hmm.....

Agree, mental side is his weak point but having some hands would sure help him too.

Okay, no natties since 2000 for hockey team but they are always in the top 5 or so nationally every year it seems and like 14 straight NCAA tourney berths. UND football, since 2000, has the 1 div 2 nattie and probably not one NCAA tourney birth since like 2005 maybe? It ain't just the arena, believe me.

$125? Can't you just be happy getting cost if you're not going to use them? Blimey.

I love both UND hockey and football, avid fan of both for nearly 40 years. Your poll is in ref to NFL football, no surprise there it's #1 in the U.S. Need to compare NCAA div 1-A ice hockey though to lower tier div 1-AA (FCS) football. Some folks care about one of them or both of them while many folks could care less about either. Both are on pretty similar playing fields I would say. In fact, on the world's stage ice hockey is certainly bigger than football (UND sends players to world tourneys playing for national teams, not so in football). Me, I love both sports and enjoy 'em both at UND.

I like it like that. For FSN's hyped Hockey Day in Minnesota/State of Hockey/blah blah blah the Gofes fall at home to Lil 6 hockey power Penn State and then former Gofer Mr. Vanek is a healthy scratch for the Wild at Blues.
