    Yeah, what Biddco said. Unless it's against UND or Minnesota you won't have a problem.

      And they've only become more impressive. My brain can't comprehend what I've seen from them these last two weekends.

        It's about high time UMD won a regular season title. Haven't won one since 1993. This is our year!

          #1 right now and it looks like some good things yet to come! Tufte is improving every game, Tontinato just getting started, Avery Peterson coming Dec. 17th to add more firepower and experience and goalie situation seems to be working out ok. D men adding some nice firepower as well. GO DOGS!

                Shoot! I'll miss him because I won't make the games this weekend. Hope he enjoys it.

                  Re: UMD Bulldogs

                  Earlier this week, I started my new series, Recruiting Grounds, where I go in depth on many of the leagues where Michigan Tech gets their recruits. I think this will have plenty of value for all of college hockey including the UMD since so many of the Elite League's best players have chosen UMD over the years. I decided to start with the Upper Midwest Elite League since it just finished and MTU just happen to have a commitment from this year's leading scorer. Special thanks to the guys at the Elite League for providing pictures and stats from 2010 to present. I wish I could have found 2007 and 2008 to get me data all the way back to 2005, but it was not to be found...

                    He enjoyed the arena, thought it was comfortable but sterile compared to alfond.
                    He said you guys looked very complacent.

                    Guess a puck lobbed over the boards right to him and he muffed it. Guess he got grief for that, he thought that was great Guess his job should finish up there next week so glad he saw a game in Duluth.

                      Since moving into Amsoil, UMD has had a Gopher-like problem with no-shows. If you ever watch a UMD home game, pretty much all of those empty lower-level seats have been paid for. There was even a lot of empties against North Dakota, which was sold-out (seats, not all SRO) on Saturday. The atmosphere was always been student-driven also. While student attendance is still pretty good, they don't make a lot of noise anymore and the townies are typically ho-hum.

                        Great to hear! Complacent would describe the defensive effort on Friday...but a nice bounce back win.

                          All of this...now to figure out why so many people are no shows? Corporate tickets? It's frustrating.




                          As for this UMD team they are no longer the top team in the nation but despite splitting with Western this team should win a few trophies this year. The one I'd like to see happen first is a regular season league title. UMD has not won one since 1993. While it sucks it won't be the MacNaughton it still would be nice to win one.

                          oh and Chicago is a easy drive for me so that would be near ideal (next year with St. Paul is even better)

                            The only trophy I care about this year is reclaiming the prestigious Babe the Blue Ox trophy.

                              Hopefully they'll win it and give it the same fate of the Taconite Trophy. That or throw it off the Lift Bridge into the lake.

                                I don't even know that tUMD has ever really even acknowledged the thing. I still remember a home/home series with Saturday at the old Glas Fieldhouse where UMD won it. The entire team skated off the ice after the game. They had the trophy out on the ice and made an announcement for UMD to get the trophy and nothing ever happened

                                For all I know BSU just kept it.
