    During some quiet times on the ice Stetcher was heard coaching the boys! We heard twice, "come on guys, finish, finish"!

    L Johnson had some tough games, but is he ever an absolute beast with the puck!

    This team is something special!

    Luke has seemed to find his brain at the right time in the season.

    You can't blame those 3 goals on cam.

    Goal 1: St. Clair hands makes a beautiful pass to the opposing player all alone in the slot. He goes top glove and beats Cam from point blank.

    Goal 2: WMU kills a penalty and gets a 3 on 2, the Bronco player using a screen goes high blocker using the UND dman as a screen. The shot goes top corner.

    Goal 3: WMU enters the zone and shoots a puck top corner high glove using a UND player as a screen. This shot is just above the dot. Maybe Cam could have cut the angle a little better but it was a shot that reminding me of a Caggiula goal. I was sitting right behind the shooting lane and wasn't even upset that he didn't save it.

    My point in all of this is that you can't just look at goals given up per shot attempts in a vacuum. 

    Goal 1, absolutely not on Cam, I agree. Other 2? Can't exactly describe them as grade A chances. Watching them live, then on replay in the arena, they didn't have the look of anything spectacular.

    Yes, when you mistype something that's 100% false we should just understand what you actually mean. The fact is that there are potentially 4 or 5 games between now and sudden death tourney time. This team has built such a good record that they could lose all of the remaining games and still be in come tourney time. And do you know a big reason why they have that record? Cam Johnson. Do you know why we swept WMU in Kalamazoo? Cam Johnson. I was incredibly worried about the goaltending situation coming into this year, but Cam and Matt have played so well that a 3rd round goaltender can't even sniff the net.

    Glad you're confident in him, but when it comes to the final push of the year, I don't care whether it's an emotional night or not, when a goalie let's in 3 goals on 4 shots to the second worst team in the conference it doesn't sit well with me. Yes, we came back and won the game on the back of a walk on goalie, but again, that leads me again to believe it has much more to do with the individuals in front. I really, really, really, really hope my gut feeling is wrong.

    I would like to think that Cam got his crappy game out of the way last weekend, and will be fine from here on out. Do you remember when Zane had his worst game? It was in the FF and the year was done. I don't see that happening this year.

    Biggest problem in that game was that Gothberg showed up when we needed McIntyre.

  5. Okay, to clarify. Yes, I understand that the NCHC playoff loss won't kill the team, obviously the only time it's season over is in the NCAA's, didn't figure with the great minds on this board that it would be that difficult, but apparently it is. Second point, yes, we did win both those games, but do you really think the team is going to put up that type of comeback against someone other than CC or Western Michigan? It's possible but I wouldn't want to stake the season on it. In my opinion, Cam's success in goal has had more to do with the guys that play in front of him than anything else, and it makes me incredibly nervous that if those guys aren't lights out, I don't have the faith in the goaltender to bail them out a couple times a game.

    Cripes, he has one bad game the night after that emotional trophy presentation and everyone wants to throw him overboard. Cam Johnson will be fine.

    I'm not throwing him overboard, but he makes me nervous. You always knew Zane was going to let in a bunny at some point, but that would be it. Cam has shown a tendency to be extremely good, but when the let down happens, it happens in a major way. CC comes to mind, then last weekend against Western Michigan. Those two games were in the second half, if another one happens again between now and April 9th, we'll be done.

    CC will play a tough game and maybe, maybe stop a blowout! But this year's Sioux team is too solid top to bottom. Cam will shut the door and Boeser will "will" the points! 

    This is going to be a fun ride to witness!

    I feel it in my right knee...go Sioux!

    He makes me nervous going into the tournament. When he's on he's great, but when he's off, oh my God is he off. Saturday night is exhibit A, 3 goals on 4 shots. That absolutely cannot happen after this coming weekend. We're not going to be facing a team where we can make up ground like we did against Western Michigan.

    I almost guarantee Stecher leaves and ends up signing with VAN. 

    I'm sure each team is different, but I was speaking with the scout of a certain team in Detroit, and he said that they would like to see Stecher remain in Grand Forks another year. I realize other teams may strike while the iron is hot, but I found it interesting that they thought he needed another year.

    He warmed up, right? I think that's an indicator of the severity.

    I wasn't sure if it was something he did on Friday night, or if he did something Saturday during warm-ups. I was going to ask about Ausmus, but then remembered seeing him on the ice for the TCoS, and looked like he skated back off okay.

    I believe Midco has usually televised the 1st round when UND is at home so I'd guess that would be the case again. CBSSN does the frozen faceoff semifinals and championship, don't think there is any tv for the 3rd place game. 

    I'm happy I'm on my three day weekend next weekend so I can at least watch on TV. Not so lucky for opening of NCAA's.

  11. As long as we're on chants, what are the actual words to the "In heaven there is no beer" my wife asked me last night, and I'm not exactly sure and I'm horrible trying to make it out. Although, the 8 year old kid next to us had no problem singing along with it, should have just asked him.

    I certainly wouldn't be advertising on a message board that you're looking for cheap knock-off jerseys from China.  There was a big bust in Eagan a few years ago involving Chinese-made NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL hockey jerseys.  The feds don't mess around with stuff like that. 

    Not going to lie, I've gotten them before, I have a Toews Blackhawks and a Crosby penguins and they are awful. Should just toss them, but I don't want to make the person feel bad that got them for me. My wife got me a Claude Lemieux Avs for Christmas a couple years ago and it's night and day difference in the material, the fit, the comfort, and the overall quality of them. Wore it to a Wild game a year ago and the fans that understood who it actually was were pretty complimentary on it. Long story short, instead of buying a knockoff, save some money and watch eBay or other auction sites.

    I was talking with some of the UND folks when  they were down for the uno game and apparently there is a Chinese company that makes knockoffs -- any one know if that's the case?

    I'm looking for an authentic black size 54 and an authentic green size 54. if anyone wans to sell me one drop me an email

    I won a game worn grimaldi during one of the auctions a while ago, but that aint leaving the house.

    Thanks

    Quinn

    Yes, there is, but, you wouldn't catch me dead wearing one. I believe that the company in question also makes them all with a player name on them, and even a not so keen eye can pick out the fake.
