The fans had everything to do with that one, even Potulny was whining about the fans cheering against them. You can't say that having all those fans cheering for them didn't give HC a little bit of extra jump.

One could argue the Holy Cross game is more important to UND fans because it was in UNDs home rink and the fans were more than likely one of the reasons Holy Cross won the game. Which indirectly gave UND a easier path to the Frozen Four.

.6 is just saying our team was better than your team.

Last year was "16+"...the number of teams that separated UND and Minnesota.

Cousin's brother's sister's grandfathers's brother's cousin's wife's grandchild?

I honestly don't know why it's a big deal or why mafia cares so much, both fanbases will jab at each other when they lose in a big game or lose to each other. That is a reason we hate losing to each other because we have to hear about it until the next meeting. It's a rivalry and it's fun.

This is a young team and it's definitely showing.  I think we will take the path of the Ole hastol teams where we hang around for half a season than put it together for a run.  R E L A X.  It won't get any easier next weekend though.

Jost is no Parise that is for sure.....

Nope- but he just might be a toews

This loss would be difficult to swallow in the playoffs but for early season no sleep lost.  Outplayed them but didn't get the bounces.  Glad to see the rivalry back.  Had to remind myself that last year's D was once in a lifetime good.  No more getting shut out though!

You know anything about why Tomek isn't playing? Someone mentioned on here earlier today that he could be gone by Christmas?

is unbelievable why BB did not change goalie after last week already (Hrynkiw or Tomek) ...there no reason to wait for this when Cam is not so good and sure ...

Wish that damn sun would start rising, I'm starting to get a little worried....

Holy freaking Cross...nice grasping at something..to hang on to...face it...Gophers outplayed UND on Friday...but settled for a tie...Fighting Hawks outplayed MN on Saturday but ran into a hot goalie...that's it. Drop the Holy freakin' Cross references...Great to have rivalry back...remember why it was terminated? go Fighting Hawks...

This team doesn't deserve to be in the top 25, highly overrated and it shows, it's going to be a bumpy year

You can't be serious? Lose to #2, lose and tie to #13, makes you #26 in the country?

I hope the players don't fold as easily as some fans.

Can beat teams at the bottom of the pairwise, but can't beat good ranked teams, sounds right to me

You're right, Cansius and RPI are highly ranked, my mistake.

Isn't odd how we have to remind people that there are no championships won in Oct, Nov, or Dec!

You spelled your moniker wrong when you registered.  However, you can go back in time and change "nd" to "mn" - just PM jimdahl and he'll help you correct it.

Berry, Jackson and Shaw need to shore up the special teams first off and this team will be fine, if you can't score on the pp you better be able to kill them off.

maybe it's time for more line up changes, #10 doesn't seem to be able to compete this year at this level and he sure cannot put the biscuit in the basket but that is true with a lot  of this team. The one poster was right you can not win the championship in oct, nov or dec but you sure could lose it.

It's focking November. This team lost 9 players. Give them a little time to gel. Over react much? 

[SiouxForever]

Jost - Solid weekend!  One of the youngest guys on the team and one of the few that would win the small battles this weekend. Effort and speed was there too while the majority of the squad looked slower than the Gophers. He's progressing well. 

As a fanabase, this years team is a work in progress right now and I'm okay with that  (well, for now, it's only Nov).
