COMMITTED UND Recruits

[dagies]

I agree with you about the atmosphere in The Ralph, but differ in that the M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A thing is kinda cool to me.

My opinion

I hate the spelling thing because if I hear it at a hockey game it means I'm already pissed off.

As I had great times going to the Barn and watching Gopher BB back in the '90's when the Barn was rocking I will say in that context I enjoyed the thing. It's all about your perspective.

IMO it's no different than the "all MN" thing with the hockey team. Of course, that no longer applies but going back to when it did....I totally get it. And if MN could win with all MN kids I think they should do it, and I think they should rub it in to everyone's face when they do. Just the way the we should, if it was possible for UND to win at hockey with all ND kids. Embrace it, and laud it. It's not possible, and that's ok too. But if it was, that would be my take.

In my opinion, what makes a great atmosphere are not 10,000 people spelling out their states name in unison like a kindergarten class (Minnesota) ...

Best line ever overheard after the UM Rouser ...

"What is this, a hockey game or a spelling bee?"

Wow, Grimaldi sure impressed him! Damn, I'm excited to watch the World Jr's this year!

Anyone know what Gothberg's d-corps looks like in front of him? I haven't seen them in action.

I can't wait to watch Grimaldi next season in a UND uniform.

That kid is made to play college hockey with his size, speed, and puck skills.

He's going to be a heck of a player...

Wow Dilks says something positive about UND?? He must still be hungover from watching his Wolverines beat the Spartans.

I went to a Gamblers/Force game in Green Bay the first week of the season. I didn't really pay attention to many details other than watching Colton St. Clair specifically, and a couple other known NCAA recruits. Gothberg didn't get the start that night, but looked a little shaky in warmups.

He seems to be doing decent, but nothing stellar. He's still young, though, so I'm not making any assumptions, just pointing out what I saw.

St. Clair looked like Gregoire v2.0...won't win a goal-scoring title, but will still tally plenty of points while doing a lot of the little things right in a smooth, yet tenacious matter.

So for next year, we have Gregoire v2 (St. Clair), Gerbe v2 (Grimaldi), and VandeVelde v2 (Miller) coming in.

Not to mention O'Donnell and MacMillian, who are both putting up great points as well.

I'll take that!

those are 3 pretty big pairs of shoes to fill... if st clair is anywhere near the player that gregoire is, we will be in for a treat. that dude is an animal, and hope he gets healthy soon, we are a different team with him on the ice. but it has been nice to see the seniors step up with all the injuries.

Practice? We're talking about practice? Not a game. Practice?

If St. Clair is remotely close to the two way player Gregoire is, UND hockey fans should be very excited to see him play at the REA.

He doesn't start hating on them until they actually arrive here. Then they become evil, pure evil I tells ya!

Schmaltz on scoring tear for Musketeers

Count Jordan Schmaltz among the scoring threats for the Sioux City Musketeers.

Heading into tonight's 7:05 United States Hockey League game against Lincoln at the Lincoln Icebox Arena, the Musketeers' 6-2, 175-pound defenseman has scored in four straight games, currently the team's longest streak.

I thought Miller looked like a fighting sioux player out there this weekend. He will be a good player for the Sioux. Anyone catch him and Mac going at it at the end?

Can't wait to see him in a UND jersey.

Nice avatar photo AZ Sioux. I can't wait to see Grimaldi play as I have never watched him in person or on tv.

Same here, I'm pumped as well. I have Public Enemy running through my mind, "Don't believe the hype." With all this talk of his speed, nack of scoring, and the points he puts up on every level he plays, I'm excited to believe the hype.

Also a previous post gave a comparsion of VandeValde and JT Miller, I actually would have to agree. He's a tough power forward from the several shifts I've seen of him.
