Wilbur Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 The Terriers come into the Forks for the weekend. They've got their goalie back that played a ton of hockey last year. They still have a Hutson (or two) and a Celebrini, but not "those ones". No one has defeated BU this year. Eiserman should be fun to watch. Should see plenty of a Jamernik lead line this weekend. A Zetterberg, an Almonte, a LaChance, a Lacroix.....lots of hockey history on that BU roster. UND easily plays a #fullsixty each night and rolls to a sweep with plenty of chest pounding culture in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sense of humor is appreciated..I always like to get my day started with a good chuckle. Come to think of it, isn't your prediction kind of a curse for UND? I remember you saying in the tournament bracket last March that your picks are usually a kiss of death. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

I love your optimism......I just don't share it. A home split against a Top 5 team is the best we can hope for right now and should be beneficial in the PWR. Hopefully Mankato has an awesome season and our road split becomes an asset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the 4th leading all time scorer behind Greg Johnson, Mark Taylor and Jeff Panzer, but he played 4 years. Without even considering defensemen (such as James Patrick, Russ Parent, Jake Sanderson, Curtis Murphy, Chay Genoway and Marc Chorney), how do you put him ahead of Hrkac, Parise, Toews, Oshie, Bob Joyce or even Bochenski?

There are so many great players who have played at UND that it is almost impossible to come up with an objective Top 5. A good problem to have. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyeball test. Stats dont tell the whole story. Tough as nails. 200 foot game. The fact you threw Chay Genoway into this conversation....now you just need to sit this one out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we went by an eyeball test, I would have the following: (1) Tony Hrkac; (2) Zach Parise; (3) Toews; (4) Oshie; (5) Jake Sanderson; (6) James Patrick; (7)Greg Johnson; (8) Mark Taylor; (9) Curtis Murphy; (10) Bob Joyce; (11) Marc Chorney; (12) Brandon Bochenski; (13) Russ Parent; (14) Jeff Panzer; (15) Dixon Ward. I like Ward, but I can't see him any higher than 10-15. You are right about Chay. He was very dynamic, but not the best defensively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, if you always pick UND to lose any game in the tourney, and the team has been having problems with first round exits.....maybe it's time to pick them to win and use that power you have to influence outcomes!

Popular Post Blackheart Posted October 22 Popular Post Share Posted October 22 The boys should be jacked for this weekend's series...major pairwise implications, playing a nationally known program that is currently ranked #3 (USCHO) and on home ice. This is why you play college hockey. I can't wait to see 120 minutes of all out Sioux hockey! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they just passed a year without a regulation loss. EDIT, I had to look it up: The last time I can find UND getting swept and losing by more than 1 goal each night was... <drumroll> November 16th & 17th, 2018 or 2,166 days ago. UND lost 2-0 to Western Michigan on Friday night(outshot them 32-19 FWIW) and lost 6-2 on Saturday night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted October 22 Popular Post Share Posted October 22 This has gotten off on a tangent.....it is just my opinion on Ward as a player at UND. Not including a pro career after. Not a high draft pick with uber talent that could not stay healthy enough to make a true impact at UND when it mattered. I'm glad he'll be recognized with a final skate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
