I really don't feel that the rhetoric regarding officials is at a higher level than earlier years
No
because old man Sheppard was part of the problem since most of us can remember

Still wish there were a cheaper Flight to Minneapolis
-
Is the Game on Thursday on TV ? (any real TV)
How about Friday & Sat. ?
Are thre any good deals on flights to the games Friday or just sat. ? - Airlines ? Charter ? - Private ? (Grand Forks or Fargo ?) for 4
-
I was there & it was the best 1st period of Hockey I have seen in many years - actually the score could have been 6 -0 in the 1st with some of the great shots the sioux had
If this is something they can get consistant at--- they are HOT HOT HOT
-
Don't be so sure
& if it doesn't happen - it will be too Bad
cause it could have Kessel might be a stretch - But if he wants to play & be able to score ? ? ? &/or be on a winning team / real contender in the future ? ? ?
The other 3 ....I will be Mad as heck if they are not here (or should I say if they go to another WCHA school)
I've seen Marto play enough now to say he is a all around Great Athlete who is finally getting the Serious Looks he deserves & what a shame if he goes to another school
-
I can see a Kessel - Moreland - Marto Line in the Future & it will be the Highest scoring line in College Hockey ...Ever (I know Marto is a Defenseman ) but he could play any position - I wouldn't doubt even Goalie
Or maybe even a Marto - Moreland - MacIntyre a all ND line is going to fill the Ralph to standing room only
To me the Future Looks Bright
-
Just stay in the Net
-
Why only 18 ? (I get the equality thing )
& I guess it should be equal #'s per school So no one has played Football & Hockey ?
Baseball & Hockey ?
Is this the same at most WCHA schools ?
-
Scholarships are limited by NCAA rules
I thought so - But how many are there ? & who ? This is not Public Info ?
-
So we have the best Facility in Hockey ...But can't afford to fix the Ice ? ? ? ...and we don't have the funds to provide Full Scholorships for players ? ? ?
Do players ever lose their Scholarships if they are not producing (playing like the coaches thought they would) in their 2nd 3rd or 4th years ?
-
I doubt many ND Players have had the "Stats" that some have? But we have had some Great College players. (many that were missed)
Football & Baseball don't over lap that much, that it could'nt be worked out ...does it ?
Do most (All ?) Hockey Players get full Rides ?
-
No one knows anything about these things ? ....I'm disappointed
-
Who are some good players that developed after HS that did not have all the Stats ?
There sure must be things Coaches look for other than Stats ?
How important is playing Juniors ?
Are scholarships usually Full or Partial (anyone know what all they get ?)
Have any Hockey Players ever played other College sports, like Football or Baseball, at the same time ? (Got Multiple Scholarships ?) because they are such well rounded Athletes ?
-
Are all these Goalies really that good ?
-
I'm glad to see Spirko becoming a heads up guy - his passing & touch with the puck are really something to watch. As well as his nose for goals lately
If this team would have progressed like he has this year - they would be awesome right now
Confidence has to be shaken at this point - I know mine is
-
I kept saying Look How Big that guy is
How big is he ?
-
I watched all those guys & yes it was magical at times
But that is what bothers me - the Talent is here - Maybe like never before
They need to get the confidence & attitude that they are good & that many can score (& I want some) Too many trying to pass or set up others who are doing the same thing
This & the fact that every team that comes in our place, the dang goalies think they are the ghost of some NHL prodigy Goaltender
-
I watch Spirko alot - He is Good... But needs to start shooting the puck more & not just to get shots... BUT be determined to score ...He is always working, chasing the puck into the corners & behind the net (others too)... BUT he & others need to be thinking about positioning themselves to score ---How many times this year is there 3 Sioux after the puck & no one in front of the net ? ? ? ...Either that or the defensemen have to step up & do the scoring ...otherwise it is a waste to have guys fighting for the puck & no one there to shoot the puck ? ...Right ? ? ?
1 to 0 with stupid & unavoidable penalties is very possible the way things are going
-
So why is it they are not as aggressive at scoring ? Is this something you get coached to do ? Or just have a nose for ? Or is it the offense they are running ?
That's a relief!
