DMT Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Dec. 19 US World Junior Team...Who will Stafford play for. Quote
mksioux Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 A few thoughts: 1) when will UND finally rid itself of Canisius? Sheesh. 2) I like the Northeastern/BC trip...may have to make travel arrangements 3) No trip to Mariucci - could be the 2 best teams if there's no NHL season 4) Bemidji State? Blah 5) US World Junior team - a great exhibition game IMO 6) A lot more balanced as far as home-away games throughout the season 7) Playing St Cloud on the road in March - St Cloud should be in full swoon mode by then.

WPoS Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 hey, you guys aren't playing Canisius enuf next year! How can we all call it a cupcake season otherwise?!?! WPoS Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Dec. 19 US World Junior Team...Who will Stafford play for. You will be more confused than you typically are at a hockey game. Quote
PCM Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 1) when will UND finally rid itself of Canisius? Sheesh. Probably not until after forecheck graduates. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 I think the game against the World Juniors team will be a fun exhibition game, a lot better than the Manitoba game. Quote
Stack Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 My first thought was : Holy smokes that's a killer October. With games at Maine, Northeastern, Boston College and Mankato in October and a home series against Minnesota we could be lucky to be .500 after October. Ohter thoughts: - For the second time in two years we don't play Minnesota twice. That's just plain stupid for the WCHA especially if they are so concerned about money. - Much more balanced with home and away series just about every other weekend in the WCHA. - Just think, two years ago we'd never heard of Canisius and now we'll be playing them for the 3rd time in 3 years. Weird. Overall a good schedule except for that killer October and no trip to Minnesota. Quote
ScottM Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I think it sucks we won't play Minnie for two series next season. Good grief, if the WCHA wants to split money equally with every program, would it not make sense for Minnie-UND-Wisco to each play two series against each other since we have the biggest barns in the league? Moreover, given the rivalries we have with Minnie and Wisco, it's plain stupid for the WCHA to not highlight them at some level. Bunch of pathetic dumbasses running this league ... /end rant Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 UND should play two series' against Minnesota and Wisconsin every year. This doesn't make sense and never will to me. I know why we don't so I don't need to hear explanations why this is, but these three teams have a long time rivalry and they should continue to play four times a year. Quote
Greyeagle Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 4) Bemidji State? Blah I have no idea what BSU will be like next year, but they were very good this year and gave MN a couple of good games. You may be pleasantly surprised by that weekend of hockey. I also think it's great for programs like MN & UND to schedule BSU. BTW - When did UND get appointed as the official WCHA ambassadors to Canisius? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 BTW - When did UND get appointed as the official WCHA ambassadors to Canisius? Same time Minnesota was made ambassador to Alabama-Huntsville. You get grits. We get wings*. * Canisius is in Buffalo, NY, in case you forgot. Quote
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Enough with Canisius, now! Why can we not play OSU, Notre Dame, of Nebraska-Omaha? Quote
Greyeagle Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Same time Minnesota was made ambassador to Alabama-Huntsville. You get grits. We get wings*. * Canisius is in Buffalo, NY, in case you forgot. Two games against the yutes from 'bama-Hutsville surely doesn't make us grit worthy. Quote
Diggler Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Come on, getting to make fun of The Wookie. That's golden right there. We got just over 8 months to make up signs! Quote
Siouxhockey03 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I really like the balanced schedule. Another question, I know for sure that Maine is playing in Grand Forks 2 years from now, is BC/UND going to keep playing each other for years to come, or was that just a 2 year thing. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I believe the BC deal is this: 2 with BC here in 2003-2004 at NE/at BC in 2004-2005 2 with NE (or is it BC again?) here in 2005-2006 at BC/at NE in 2006-2007 Quote
PCM Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Come on, getting to make fun of The Wookie. That's golden right there. We got just over 8 months to make up signs! Somone should get the thread started. By next season, we should be able to build a life-sized animated replica of the Wookie wearing a pink tu-tu. Quote
Schmitzzz Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Not playing MN and UMD twice will hurt UND's SOS as well.... This is the worst idea the WCHA has had in a long time.... just plain stupid. Quote
forecheck Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Probably not until after forecheck graduates. Sorry guys, Blais and I have a deal. And since I still have one more long year of school left, we will just have to sit through another Canisius beating. Do you think if I emailed the Wookie he'll start growing his hair back out? Quote
PCM Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Do you think if I emailed the Wookie he'll start growing his hair back out? Do it now so that he can return to his former glory by next season! Quote
Diggler Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Do you think if I emailed the Wookie he'll start growing his hair back out? Screw the get the Sioux game on FSN e-mail campaign, we need to start a The Wookie needs to grow his hair back e-mail campaign. Libre le Wookie! Quote
farce poobah Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 On the BRIGHT Side: 4 games with Wisconsin. Revengex4. 4 games with CC. Love playing them. 4 games with Hockey East. Woofing rights x 4. Quote
jojordan23 Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Now that I have been straightened out regarding the fact that this topic already existed on this board ( and deleted my thread that I started), I want to throw in my 2 cents worth... Yeah, it sucks UND only plays MN one series, but at least they are playing in GF, not at the Goofer barn. Canisius? Well, maybe Deano wants to get Zajac, Spirko, and his other freshman to be able to score as many points as Zach did his freshman year... The NorthEastern-BC trip looks like a great hockey weekend, and I think Bemidji St. will be tougher than a lot of people are expecting them to be... It's not a cupcake schedule, by any means... I am looking forward to yet another year of Sioux hockey. Quote
Goon Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 My first thought was : Holy smokes that's a killer October. With games at Maine, Northeastern, Boston College and Mankato in October and a home series against Minnesota we could be lucky to be .500 after October. First off Mankato isn't that good, 2 wins, we split with Maine and beat Northeastern University and B.C. and UND will be fine. UND should be a smart veteran team next season. Thank God all of our home games aren't in October... Quote
