Wilbur Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 @Goon's nephew and their ginger coach are next. Okay, harsh on their coach, joking....of course. New lines....Go! Gaber-Schmaltz-Calder Judd-Ford-Matteo Hain-Senden-Kunz Budy-Jammer-Portz You can put Jammer up with Hain and Senden, but who centers the 4th line then? Ness? The Swede in net for a game? Ja?? Splittsville..... Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Anything less than.......a split is unexceptable. Quote

Splittsville..... Speaking of Brink... the Denver Pioneers top line of Carter Savoie (6g-6a—12tps), Cole Guttman (3g-9a—9pts) and Bobby Brink (3g-6a—9pts) has been lighting it up. Quote
crb1 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 If the last few weeks is any indication of our play, we will be in for a long weekend regardless of being at home. Quote
Fighting Sioux 23 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Anything more than a split would be great. Anything less than a split would be disappointing. This team is living up to the expectations I had coming into the season. They will fight for home ice and an NCAA spot. The fight for an NCAA Spot has had its ups and downs, but is still well within reach. The fight for home ice starts this weekend. Beat Denver! Quote

We did play pretty good in the game a week prior to yesterday. We were bound to slip in one of these destination games. Huge fan let down, but ... Look forward to watching the Hawks trying to get the Pioneer sweep on Saturday! Quote
brianvf Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 I'd love to see a split or better. But something tells me unless they really shore up defense and goaltending woes, DU's top line is gonna have a big weekend. Hopefully Sanderson and Co can shut them down (or at least keep them mostly contained). Quote
farce poobah Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 UND is not that far away from gelling into a really good team. But for now it’s frustrating to watch. I expect the flashes of great play to come more often and for longer stretches in the coming weeks. Reminds me a lot of 1980-1981, Which had 13 new players and some hard-to-watch losses. Quote
Wilbur Posted November 1, 2021 Author Posted November 1, 2021 I think Senden-Hain-Jammer need the task of the Brink line. Really not sure who else you would want with the last change. What I wouldn't give for a guy like Prpich right now to skate with Gutman for a weekend. Quote

That is where Senden and the other two are best used and Kunz gives good puck ragging down low in opponents zone. Love this line already. Quote

Totally and unequivocally agree. I've said it all season, I like the pieces. Still missing a bit of depth. I'm noticing Costantini playing a bigger role every game. I truly believe this team is a playoff team and by January, they are turning the corner. Quote
bcblues Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Just the thought of DU makes me green in the face. I would love to sweep them at home, but I just don't think that we 1) have the horsepower to outscore DU, and 2) I think our defense will struggle against DU. I wish I could be more optimistic. Quote
Godsmack Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 DU had a bye week to continue licking their wounds from a bad east coast road trip as well as more time to turn the page and get ready for North Dakota. I hope for a split this weekend. Quote

Langster019 Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Last Friday night, as a walked into Buccaneer Arena in Des Moines, I got to my section and look up to the top row at my seat, and the audible sigh is let out as someone is standing in my spot behind my seat. I walk up the steps mentally prepping to have the exchange to let this guy know he’s going to need to move. Get to the top row, and who is it? None other than the head coach of DU hockey, David Carle. Quote

Our row was literally empty so I just stood further down. Cool to see a head coach be on location like that tho. A guy 3 rows down was wearing a UND jersey (albeit fake) so he still saw enemy colors that night. 3 Quote

Based on his road to the job, respectful is the only way to be. If you’ve ever heard his pressers, respectful and humble come to mind. Now, this weekend we get to see if Rizzo cuts the cloth… Quote
Humboldt Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 LetsGoDU with their "North Dakota Week" hit piece. I actully like the new writer better than 5BWest. We all miss the Ambassador Motel. https://letsgodu.com/2021/11/03/university-of-north-dakota-loses-frantic-bid-to-save-ambassador-motel/#more-79979 Quote
snooty89 Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 That is a pretty awesome troll piece. Not too far over the line, but far enough to get a chuckle out of people. Quote

bcblues Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Nice! Ambassador Motel: Right between the Rite Spot and Red Ray Lanes! I enjoyed the read and thought it was pretty well done! Quote
Wilbur Posted November 4, 2021 Author Posted November 4, 2021 See I dunno. That letsgodu blog used to be funny. I mean I used to laugh a lot at the articles. Now it's like....meh.... I mean take a real shot at UND or just quit while you're ahead. Its like the last few seasons of the office where it tried, but just wasn't the same.... Quote

jk Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 It's a bummer because my uninformed understanding is that he wasn't ready to come in due to injuries, and he wasn't happy with that, so he left. And ended up arriving at Denver when he would have gotten here. Quote
