Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

We just got confirmation from the SNC SID, that the Oct. 25 scrimmage with UW is CLOSED to the public.
What a joke!!! I understand that UW is hosting this event and can set the rules any which way they like.
But it surely stonewalls the hockey fans in Wisconsin of the chance to witness this match up in person..

I've never heard someone cry so much over the fact they can't drive a few hours to watch a 7-1 loss.

I get it, UW's decision to close that exhibition to the public was simply to spare SNC some public embarrassment. I like it!

I hope your Pointers extend the same courtesy to SNC the next time they have an opportunity to exact revenge on them for being controlled in last seasons title game. But in all honesty, 2nd place was a remarkably fortunate finish for Point last season (you did see their semifinal game vs Oswego, right?)

Two can play this trollin' game...

If the Pointers found themselves in the same position as SNC, I doubt if their fans would be any less vocal about this contest being closed to the public....
both SNC and Point have a strong fan base that would like to travel, no matter the distance, to support their team.
7 -- 1....I don't think so....SNC plays better D than that!!
By the way, I would not be surprised if several freshmen get some playing time vs. the Badgers.
From what I have seen, this year's group will fit very nicely into the Green Knight system...or should I say the "Coghlin System".

Really embarrassing to know that someone wants to enjoy watching their team play and isn't happy they are being denied a chance they thought they had and should have. Here's a simple solution if you don't like it. Don't read the thread if it's too much for you.

Doesn't D-III start later in all sports?

The way I understand it D-III does not want regular seasons of sports overlapping. Playoffs are hard to control for teams that go deep toward the championship.

As bizarre as it sounds, it seems as though it is some UW fans who most want this scrimmage (or practice, or however you want to minimize it) to be closed to the public...

after dropping 2 this weekend to both the Alaska teams, U of W may not want any fans at any of their games

On a side note, I looked at the box scores for those two games on collegehockeystats and I like what they've done by adding where to view games on tv.

How about I read what I want to when I want to? Is that ok with you, grandpa?

What does Point have to do with a St. Norbert scrimmage against Wisconsin? Since you proved yourself incapable of addressing the larger point, I'll address yours and point out that taking 40 shots from along the wall near the blue line really doesn't mean the team controlled the game. It means the defense forced it into doing exactly what it wanted to. Both teams had their chances and stretches where they controlled play in that game but to claim Oswego "controlled" it because they were impatient and rattled off dozens of very low percentage shots is pretty much a nonstarter. Anything else you'd care to add?

Just that your reading comprehension is lousy. I said it was SNC who controlled Point in the title game, not Oswego. I simply said Point was lucky to even advance to the title game.

I ended that post by saying I was trolling you right back, and you still bit?

Get it?

I'd score that response as a big win for the man from Utah.

drop that puck already its getting ugly........we wouldnt have this problem if D3 started like every other league that plays with a puck or street hockey ball.

Re: St. Norbert College, 2014-15 - The Drive for Five

Apparently it only takes 4 national championships to for the SNC thread to get 70+ post before the season starts. Ugly or not, I'll take it.
