AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 At no point in that article does Wodon address the elephant in the room: Lucia appears to still be loyal to his alma mater. His retort also doesn't even begin to discuss the culture of hockey in Minnesota, which is a big feature in the City Pages article as well. Don't bother trying to argue with Wodon though, he believes Seth Jones committed to UND before going to the WHL and when proven wrong he refused to acknowledge his error. Quote

I totally agree-while Wodon may make some valid counter-arguments, I kept waiting for him to address the Notre Dame fund raiser bit but he seems to have cherry picked what he was going to focus his critique on.

It's hard to take an article seriously when the writer can't even spell the word "fire" correctly in the 2nd paragraph. Quote

Lucia addressed the Notre Dame fundraiser on Beyond the Pond on KFAN on Saturday. There's a podcast on their website if anyone wants to listen to that. It was a pretty detailed story. I find it odd that to defend the Minnesota program that CHN article and Lucia in the Beyond the Pond interview both make the claim that they've won more games than UND in the last so many years... like, thanks for the shoutout? Quote
ClassB Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Also doesn't address the BI6 trying to flip college hockey upside down and Lucia spearheading it. Pretty colossal boneheaded move to go and attack an article but only hit half the points. Quote

TImes have changed, there is much more parity in college hockey which is a good thing. When UND really started going after top notch Canadian hockey players (many decades ago) the gopher fans didn't like it and started dissing UND as a non-American team. All of a sudden it wasn't a one team race. Competition is good. Quote

Did it also mention that while they did well in the last two years of the WCHA, they also are a part of a conference that has been less than spectacular. Does it also mention that Minnesota didn't play many road games outside of the state of Minnesota. Until recently it only helped them, but when the NCAA changed the rules, it hurt them. The fact that they compared themselves to us after a run of losing players like Miller, Matteau, Koules, Mantha, Lemieux, etc. pretty much shows that UND has that work ethic that can offset losses like that. When was the last time people complimented Minnesota that they work so darn hard. You always hear coaches say that about UND and how they want to instill that in their team. Quote
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Koules would not have seen much ice If he came. He was a scapegoat for the Winterhawks last year as an overager, and it seems like the E is too much for him. Gropp, Gerlach and Tambellini were more meaningful defects. 1 Quote

Especially as we move into the grind of the late season and playoffs. They are far better than UND in the faceoff circle which gives them an advantage in that we both like to possess the puck. As the season goes on 5 on 5 goals get tougher and tougher to come by. I feel our power play is starting to click but theirs is lights out. Our penalty kill is quite a bit better than theirs percentage wise but they take far less penalties than we do. After one weekend I'm not willing to go up skywriting and spell out "UND's powerplay is lights out", but I was favorably impressed with the 50% tally for the weekend's power play efforts. That and you are spot on about our PK...we are committed on the kill and a shorty threat to boot, always a great combination. Faceoffs? Yeah. We need help there for sure. Here's to keeping that 50% PP pace going through another weekend. Quote

808287 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Black bears go on a penalty parade in the last two minutes, give up the lead. Going to OT. No score in OT. Goes in the books as a tie. Quote

brianvf Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Nice try Maine. That would have been a sweet 2nd loss for QU. I can't believe that Michigan kid only got suspended 2 games for that punch in the OSU game. Quote

Yeah, I watched the last period and OT. Is it possible my college hockey interest is becoming an illness? 1 Quote
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Streamhub.hk has forums that will exacerbate your illness. They don't get as many college hockey games as years past, but still a decent amount. Remember, the cure can be worse than the disease. Quote
WiSioux Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I am at the Michigan/US NTDP game tied at 1 after two periods. Michigan has just under three minutes remaining on a major power play Quote
brianvf Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Of course QU ties it with 9 sec left in the game. Going to OT. 1 Quote
WiSioux Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 3-1 Michigan... goals were not on the major Quote
brianvf Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 RPI and QU tie at 2 each. QU might be slipping a bit despite their #1 rank...4 of their last 5 games have gone to OT, with two of those tied opponents being Maine (5 wins this year) and Northeastern (3 wins this year). Quote
WiSioux Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 5-2 Michigan Kyle Connor just had a violent collision with the wall, self induced. I would be shocked if he didn't have a concussion. Quote
brianvf Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 DU up on UMD 3-2 after 2. UMN beats UW 4-0. Miami beats Omaha 3-1. SCSU slaughters WMU 8-2. Quote
