Oxbow6 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm not sure I understand why Dell continues to get the bulk of the starts at this point in the season. If you look at the statistics, if Eidsness had enough minutes to qualify, he'd be among the top 10-15 statistically in the nation. I think Eidsness has at least earned the right to split starts, and I'm not sure Dell has done enough to warrant being the every-game guy. Dell was an All-American last season and has a better skill set and talent than BE. Problem is he hasn't played that way this year. When Dell is on, UND is almost unbeatable. BE can be very good, but seems to consistantly allow a softie...or 2. Tough call at this point as Dell hasn't asserted himself as the clear cut #1 guy with his inconsistant play at times.

When he is on which he is right now he is a damn good goalie. I would be a bit shocked if he doesn't start friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringneck28 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey I agree with that 100%... I second that motion. Eids is the only reason we were in that game at the end. He helped calmed the team down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringneck28 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I do beleive that I am right in making this statement. The rest of the games from this point forward will televised (at least on midco). I notiticed that NBCSports is carrying the friday denver game and fcsc is carrying the sat denver game. I am so excited. Now if UND can win all six we will be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I second that motion. Eids is the only reason we were in that game at the end. He helped calmed the team down. 7 PP by UMD in the 1st 23 minutes of the game and 2 of those were 5x3. Not short changing what BE did in basically 2 periods but Dell was razor sharp Friday and then got caught in a tornado with all the penalties on Sat. IMO if we have to win one game, I play Dell. And from here on out it is basically a one game season every game as UND really can't afford any more losses. Has BE deserved a shot...probably. Tough call for Hak, but come Friday night vs. Tech, I would prefer to see Dell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringneck28 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It is going to be on channel 315 on midco on sat 2/25 per programming guide, now also states that it will be on fsn+ 639(HD) but last time I counted on that, the game was not televised.

Wilbur Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Here is where I see the WCHA finishing after next weekends games. 1. UM 2. UMD 3. Denver 4. UND 5. CC 6. UNO 7. SCSU 8. Tech 9. BSU 10. Wisconsin 11. Mankato 12. AA That sets up: AA @ Minnesota........Minnesota wins that one Mankato @ Duluth.....Duluth in two. Wisconsin @ Denver....makes for interesting hockey....but Denver BSU @ UND....UND matches up well with BSU....got to go with UND Tech @ CC....These teams could possibly be playing two weekends in a row.....I'll give the edge to CC over a much improved Tech SCSU @ UNO....Toss up. Mike Lee would be the key player in the series. So the Final Five would be: UND vs. CC, winner to face Minnesota. Denver vs. UNO/SCSU, winner to face Duluth.

jodcon Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 ^^^ That would be a good draw for us, I would feel better playing CC in the Thursday game than Denver again so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm hoping that Goldy sweeps Wisconsin and that Bemidji gets a win at Anchorage. Wisconsin is a better team than Bemidji, and they played two tough games with UND in Grand Forks. UND could move up to third with a UNO sweep over Denver, and a UND Sweep, but I don't think thats going to happen. UND does matchup better with Duluth than Goldy, but at this point in the season, just making the F5 would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 U still having a fit over the nickname goon? Since when was I complaining about the Fighting Sioux nickname? I would like to see where I was having a fit. I like most are ready to be done with the argument because of the damage it will do to the University if UND keeps the name.

SiouxForever Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 By the end of the year, this Sioux team could have 4 (four) 20 goal scorers in Brock Nelson, D. Kristo, C. Rowney, and possibly C. Knight. Too bad Rocco and O'Donnel weren't on the team. Damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFG Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Not sure what thread to put this in, so I put it in here. There was a story posted in the NY Times today about how USA Hockey and Hockey Canada are going to push to ban fighting on all levels that aren't considered professional, this does include the Major Juniors. I fully agree with this, as I personally don't think fighting needs to be allowed below professional level. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/28/sports/hockey/fighting-in-amateur-hockey-leagues-may-be-on-way-out.html?pagewanted=2&_r=3&smid=FB-nytimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree with this, as I personally don't think fighting needs to be allowed below professional level. http://www.nytimes.c...smid=FB-nytimes I guess I would like to see what this would look like in some sort of environment first. Are we then just going to have the pushing and shoving after the whistle in which now everybody will play the tough guy? The next question is how do they propose to do this? They can't even effectively tackle the checking from behind problem. Out of the four guys that got kicked out of the Sioux/Denver series last weekend, I thought Parks was the only one that deserved a major. The other one that deserved to be booted was Loney and he only got a minor penalty. I just envision the excruciating pushing after the whistle along with face washes and slashes being the norm like we saw against Wisconsin. And why should it not then be applied to the Professional level? If you want the younger kids to stay away from fighting, then don't give them role models that are doing it.
