I think this statement sums up the DU and UND rivalry pretty well. They don’t like us and they don’t like us. I would use the analogy that this rivalry is like the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s feud. I think this what makes this rivalry a solid rivalry. Nothing gets left on the ice...

Oh goody! I happened to come across this little gem today when I was reading the Minneapolis Red Star and Sickle. Hockey is a game of honor and to call Brian Schack an enforcer is a disservice to hockey enforcers everywhere. That label for Shack couldn’t be further from the truth...

This is bad news for UND but I guess I can't say that I all that surprised based on the brutal hit that Genoway took last Friday night. Hopefully Chay can be back for the Thanksgiving Holiday Tourney when the Fighting Sioux play the Miami Redhawks.GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The country’s...

It’s not just the refs in the WCHA that make big monstrous glaring mistakes, referees Stephane Auger and Dennis LaRue really blow this call and need to be sanctioned for this mess up. The puck was in before the ref was going to blow the whistle. In this situation Toronto should have...

Robbie Earl was the guy that WCHA opposition fans loved to hate. Earl had a propensity to over embellish on penalties and got the reputation as being a diver. Now that he is a member of the Minnesota Wild I think I could learn to like him. Earl in two games has just as many goals as...

Another reason to clean up the language. Check out his blurb from Ryan Bakken's weekly column. Instead, it’s because The Hammer, aka The Hakker, aka Coach Dave Hakstol said to knock it off at a student forum. The Hakstol glare can melt granite. “He definitely commanded the...
