Siouxman Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I just saw in today's Fargo Forum that West Region tickets go on sale to the general public on December 9th. I believe that it said online sales only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch a lot of WHL where I live, and I've certainly come to know who Carter Hart is. For those who don't follow the dub, he is a super star goalie for the Everett Silvertips. So far this year he is 15-3-3 with a .937 and 1.65 while pitching 4 shutouts. Why should I care as Sioux hockey fan? Well, he was drafted in the 2nd round by Philly in 2016...you got it..1 round earlier and 1 year later than Matej Tomek...Anyway, this Carter kid is likely to be Canada's #1 netminder for the tourney. Let the speculation on the net continue... I've been to 2 Tips games this year. Hart looked great in both games. Lost 2-1 in the first and had a nice shutout in the second. Looked a lot like Zane - rarely out of position and always square to the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Schloss today: Quote Matej Tomek has been invited to Slovakia's World Junior camp. He'll head to Quebec after the Western Michigan series. Good for him. Would be awesome to see him get some playing time at WJC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to watch the comparisons between the two. Huska and Tomek were born the same month and same year. Both from Slovakia (obviously). Both playing in the NCAAs. Just a year and a half ago, they both entered the same draft with Tomek getting drafted twice as high as Huska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear he has a pretty decent chance at the #3 spot. However him getting playing time will be pretty tough. Huska is awesome and was the starter last year. The backup is one of the top USHL goalies and a relatively high draft pick himself. I hope Tomek at least gets to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nether goalie at UConn is getting it done Huska is .500 and the other guy is below .500. Slovakia usually had a good team and I didn't hear anything about how they did last year.

Well, UConn isnt that great of a school. Huska is a very good goalie and will be the starter. Slovakia has been down for a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true.....and Slovakia will get crushed this year. Maybe's always maybe.....but from what I hear he has a chance at the #3. I'm honestly hoping he plays though. Good kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 At the break, the Hawks will have played 6 of the top 13 in the RPI, a handful without Boeser. At this point, we sit at #6. They have disappointed in a few games, including the MSU series, and it will be harder to make up ground with a softer second half schedule, but it's not been too bad a performance so far, considering the talent that left town. There is not a 5-1 difference between UND and WMU, though, so they have to put it together tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their weakest link appeared to be in net. I just think Cam kept us in the game in the first and we got some long goals last night. I have to say, though, that I think our coaches would be seeing red if our boys let down after getting behind as theirs appeared to do last night.

yzerman19 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I see Union is 12 in the PWR and rocking 11 wins...hurts to likely be down our two best players for that one. As stated, the WJC is an amazing tourney and it is certainly a dream to represent your country in that event, so can't blame Brock and Tyson...bummer for us though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxSherm94 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Above and beyond St. Cloud State and the Saturday Gopher game, last night was a very impressive all around performance. Firing on all cylinders and a team that came to play for a 60 full minutes, only to show Andy Murray that when Western comes into our building we are very capable of asserting dominance. Hopefully that can be backed up with another solid performance tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hky Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I hope Jost and Brock are able to play for their countries in the WJC. First, because they're good hockey players who had lots of other options for places to play this year and chose us. So I'll be happy for them and cheer them on. Also...UND's coaches have always been outspoken in support of their guys going to the WJC. That helps us get and keep these kinds of players. The publicity for UND is huge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Who are UND's current, active leaders (top 5) in career games played? Answer below in white (highlight for answer). Ausmus 123 Poganski 100 T. Poolman 97 Simonson 83 Olson 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Given the trivia question and answer above, (those last two guys are top five!?!?!?) I guess I'm not surprised at where the team is right now. Specifically, they are very young. Remember my "2, 5, 11, 8" question. (And if you're using that without my permission, I know who you are. ) That's SR, JR, SO, FR on the current roster. Think about this: This team lost three guys who have played in the NHL this season! Am I disappointed in 9-6-3 at the break? Yes. Am I surprised? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
