InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Wow, I like this coach. He is playing all the mental games. 1st saying his #1 player may not be available. Then the, how are we getting there card. I suspect they will be there in full on Wed. as planned with #1 player ready to go. I'm sure Hakstol and the boys are really concerned about Quinnipiac's travel itinerary and when/where they fly into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodbuster Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 WooooW.......apparently the Quinnipiaci are having trouble getting to Fargo.....to Quote their Head Coach.. "Fargo is a hard place to get to" I'd say they can't figure this one out...time to reconsider their accreditation.http://sportzedge.com/2015/03/23/the-biggest-challenge-for-quinnipiac-hockey-in-ncaa-tournament-may-just-be-getting-to-fargo/ Well, if they don't know that Minneapolis has an airport that has links to Hector, maybe they should drive.......I have an old atlas I could send them.

Ronix Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think the QU coach is blowing smoke. Has any of you tried getting a flight for a family of 4 in or out of North Dakota with less then a weeks notice? Not to mention 30+ with student athletes, coaches, trainers, etc. Good Luck, probably blow the schools athletics budget for a year plus... They would definitely be better bussing up from Minny.

Old Time Hockey Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well, if they don't know that Minneapolis has an airport that has links to Hector, maybe they should drive.......I have an old atlas I could send them. Well played, sir! Maybe they are intentionally flying to Bismarck to complete their History 101 class. They will be expected to write a report on all the settlers sod homes and native tribes living in their tepees as they roam across the untapped Great Plains.

Frozen4sioux Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Does the Quinnipiaci have a message board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhenry8439 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The way i see it is that UND just lost to two teams from the NCHC the most dominant force in NC$$ hockey. They barely lost to St. Cloud, IMO if UND would have played Sioux Hockey the last minutes of the first period on friday they wouldn't have gone into the locker room shell shocked. The boys came out hard in the second and third periods and only got scored on again with Zano "insano" sitting on the bench. In conclusion if UND can play shut down hockey (as we all know they can) they should be able to come out on friday and take it to Quinnipiac and make them play to the will of the game we call SIOUX HOCKEY. I believe these men have burnt their ships and are not willing to accept anything but conquest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneySIOUX Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just by the amount Murphy played on Saturday,my best guess Cag-LJ-Parks Pattyn- Schmaltz-Murphy?? Gaarder line Chyz-St.Clair-Poolman I don't think there's any way Murphy is in on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=100303 Practices are open to the public on Thursday. UND will go from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. at Scheels Arena. 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. — St. Cloud State 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. — Michigan Tech 2 to 3 p.m. — Quinnipiac 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. — North Dakota Can we get a packed house from 11:30 to 3:00, with nothing but the SIV chant going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think there's any way Murphy is in on Friday. I honestly think there may be a slight chance....he was decent on Saturday. I think Pattyn should play a bottom six role...it fits better for his style of play. Caggs, Schmaltz, Parks Chyzk, LJ, Murph (or Pattyn) OD Gaarder Pogs Pattyn (or Murph) Simo Poolman Roll four lines. Those 3rd and 4th lines will be tough to play against. I believe we have final line change so we could drop that LJ line in only in the O zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 One game just not give him enough clout to play in a NCAA tourney game, IMO. You're probably right, but he was noticeable out there and he looked like a top 6 forward to me. He was very good in juniors so if he has found his confidence somehow I would be in favor of rolling him out there. It could not only pay dividends this year but also the next two years.

rhenry8439 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_NCAA_Division_I_Men%27s_Ice_Hockey_Tournament i was just curious to see where the 2016 Frozen Four was and found that it is in Tampa, FL. but it is being hosted by Wisconsin. After the season they had is Wisconsin moving too Tampa to try and start over fresh adn get a new fan base of retirees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Naturally, hosting in the Ralph would have been tremendous, but it should still be a pretty solid environment in Scheels. I am hoping that with the size of the building, it may actually get louder in there. Can anyone offer a comparison of the size or build of the arena to the old Ralph? I never made it to a game there but I always hear it was a really intimidating environment. Does Scheels compare in size, or was the old Ralph still way bigger?

I remember Schlossman saying St. Clair will be ready this weekend and he fully expects him to play(or something along those lines). So I think St. Clair takes Murphy's spot.

Sodbuster Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 As far as capacity, I think Scheels is pretty comparable to the Old Ralph. Yeah, I think the Old Ralph's capacity was just under 6,000, maybe over with standing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah, I think he Old Ralph's capacity was just under 6,000, maybe over with standing room. That's not factoring in the baseball team ushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember hearing it was really intimidating to play there. With so much less open space, I could see it getting really loud in there. I ran into Dan Woog a few years back and talked hockey with him, he said playing there, it was like the fans were right on top of you. We can hope for some of that environment this weekend. Side note: Dan also said he learned some interesting facts, from the fans, about his mother, family, and why he made the team when he came up to play against the Sioux. Pretty nice guy.

truenorth Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 One game just not give him enough clout to play in a NCAA tourney game, IMO. Informed that Murphy was on a line with Pattyn and Schmaltz and St.C was with Chyz and Poolman. That was from Monday's practice obviously it could change as we go forward this week.
