tnt Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 The ironic part is that Duluth needs us to beat Omaha to give them a better chance at home ice for the playoffs, and a game without our best defenseman hurts a little in that regard. Quote

If that is the case, then why does Neil Pionk get off with nothing for his 10 minute misconduct for verbal abuse of an official. How about some consistency. Now you're asking for a miracle. The whole NCHC's reffing system is a joke. Why couldn't don adams and his bunch of cronies go to the small 6. They're all Minnesota fans anyways. Quote
Fetch Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 While I loved Dean as a Coach & will always respect him He has to be getting close to retiring - I'd prefer he go out having done well but never better than us Quote
siouxfan512 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I'm not going to completely bash the official for the Stecher call. It was a stupid hit to make, at a very stupid time to make it. Particularly for a guy who typically doesn't make that kind of play. It certainly wasn't a huge (Paukovich/Bina) type hit from behind, but it was definitely into the back and close enough to the boards to make it a borderline suspension call. If the roles were reversed, at least half of the posters on here would have been calling for an immediate suspension. I hate losing stecher, but I can certainly understand the call. We certainly aren't the first team to get the wrong side of a borderline call. Duluth fans were up in arms about the OT penalty shot on Friday, and I have to agree with them. Again, if the roles were reversed, I would have been irate about that being a penalty shot. It was a trip, but I don't think it was worthy of a penalty shot. Nevertheless, the teams and players need to make the most of opportunities regardless of the call, which Pogo did. As for this weekend ... next man up. 1 Quote

I like the fact that Stecher plays up until the whistle, because we have had too many circumstances at the end of periods and games where you think you're safe and one small play would have prevented a late goal. That is Troy Stecher in a nutshell, hard-nosed until the end. 1 Quote

Putting your stick into a guys back near the boards isn't a smart play. Especially the way the league has cracked down on CFB is just not smart. Potentially save your team one night, just to risk them by being suspended. I'm also not trying to bash on Stecher here. Its not like he is out there taking bad penalties on a frequent basis, which made it all the more surprising. Hate losing him, but we have enough depth that we should be fine. I'm more concerned about seeing our guys get the scoring touch back. Quote

I did see the WDAZ Extra is picking up the Saturday game. Perhaps I will need to get some rabbit ears for that as I have Directv? Only seeing NCHC.tv for the Friday game though. Did I mention how badly I want to sweep these guys in their own barn. UNO seems to play extra tough against us. Their fans already think they are getting 1 if not 2 wins this weekend. I hope that is not the case. However Ill say this series is a split. I thought I heard it was on ASN on Saturday. Quote

siouxstudent Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Someone has to pick up the Friday game right? Seems odd for such a huge game to have little coverage. Quote

Unless you are in Omaha, they have nothing for coverage down there. I find it funny that Midco bends over backwards for all these other towns when they come into GF, yet they do nothing for UND fans in return. Quote

Sounds like my only option is the $15 single game pass for the game Friday....Seems high for one game Quote
The Exiled One Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hey boys, for those of you traveling to Omaha this weekend, have fun. I was there on Saturday for the SCSU game. My notes... • Weather was great. Everything was walking distance. Good time. • Stayed at the Marriott Courtyard, also where SCSU was staying. Short walk to multiple bars and the arena. • Lots of budget hotels on the south side of the arena, but fewer bars. • D.J.'s Dugout was the place to be pregame. Filled up by 4:30 with a long line by 5:15. • Dudley's was nice too, but was neither a sports bar nor a dive bar. No niche might hurt them. Friendliest staff in town though! Good folks. • Pauli's is just a plain old bar. It's small and gets full, but I honestly don't get the appeal. It was full though. Those were the only three places we visited. • All of the establishments are new, which is fine, but they lack the charm of a small town "bar district". Kinda sterile. Not like a Canal Park or a State Street at all. • I really like the arena. In a few ways, I liked it better than the REA *ducks*. Tons better than the HBNHC if that makes up for my blasphemy at all. It has a pro feel, unlike the REA which has a well done college feel. • The whole setup of the area was great. As far as setups go, I like Duluth, Madison, Omaha, and Mankato in that order. Duluth and Madison have the charm. Mankato just lacks the fan support. That's about it! Hope you have a good time, other than enjoying the results of the game. Quote

I know one of the DTV channels is DirecTV. Quote
Fetch Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I hope Stecher does not come back feeling he needs to play down to Refs level of thinking This kid is so ready to totally bust out & become a extremely great player He has abilities that we were just starting to see Troy we want u to be all u can be & in becoming special u will make mistakes - just learn from them & move way beyond them I hope this entire team says we are going to kick azz & play exceptional here on out Edited February 24, 2016 by Fetch Add Quote

The only reason to go to Pauli's would be that is that local Sioux fans in the Omaha area are having a pre-game and watch party there both nights with green beer and a food truck. Starts at 5:30 for both nights. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Per Schloss Chyzyk and St Clair will be available this weekend. Lines will probably be: CBS Chyzyk LJ Pogo (I don't think LJ is a top 6 guy and IMO is suited better at wing but Berry will have him here) Gersich Simo JJ Gardner Sanderson Olson With what I have above I think UND has 3 lines set for the rest of the year barring injury. 3rd line is the line in flux. At this point Wilke sits. Top 6 guy who has not produced to date and where do you put St Clair? 4th line above IMO was the most consistent line vs UMD and you keep them together. I could go with swapping St Clair for JJ on 3rd line though. I like Gersich a lot. Quote
The Jordan Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Don't forget there are both a pre-game and a watch party happening at Pauli's in Arksarben Village across from the arena both Friday and Saturday nights starting at 530. Free parking. Food truck. All-day happy hour. Green beer. And it is the only place to stream the game if you do not have a ticket. Quote
burd Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Pretty amazing that our last opponent, UMD, and our next opponent, UNO, have both been swept 4 times by conference opponents so far this year. 4 times. If that happened in GF, lots of fans would be demanding we fire ___________ and try to get Sandy or Deano back. OK, OK. Just having fun . . . Hopefully we can make that 5 for Dean. 2 Quote
