I am a hockey oracle. If anyone needs help picking lotto numbers I'll be in grand forks in a couple weeks I think.

Basically have to wear white on the road.

Very childish way to conduct themselves

Anytime Laos comes up I think of this. https://youtu.be/UxI5qQAUWVc?si=kbeMNhEspOFLtflb

He should probably be in if Ruley is in. If it were one or the other, then I get it but its not. At least it shouldn't be.

Seems like an uphill battle in general for Grand Forks over past few decades. Did it start with the base shrinking by like 70-80%?

I am not sure what this even means

Grand Forks is a bit culty for its size.

Seems like a likely explanation. Some people dont like nice things.

Fun vacation opportunity for any women who have been trying to convince their Viking fan husband to take a trip to Ireland/UK.

Not sure who would be able to do that. The owners make more money by growing the game overseas. The American market is saturated. The European market is not.

Couple ways of looking at it...a 5k arena at max capacity is probably a better atmosphere than 6500 at a 13k arena or whatever the Ralph holds. They rotate between GF and Fargo don't they?

I was just gonna say be careful what you wish for lol. Some weirdo goal scoring savant subjects you to a couple seasons of Sabrina Carpenter

UConn is not a big school by many definitions. Its a small state school that has a great basketball team for whatever reason

I was wondering the same thing

On a delayed penalty call, what happens if the team scores? Do they still get a power play?

That was fun

Oh my

GM is separate. My understanding is they can't be involved in coaching but can handle some of the new era aspects of the program to let the coach focus on his own stuff.

I think it's important to not just look at wins in men's basketball. These guys are being asked to build new rosters every year.

This guy.

I was about to call you an idiot but then I recognized the importance of words 3 and 4.

UND might have had a salary pool similar to the NHL lol

Isn't that a check cut to the school rather than a collective?

Since football and basketball seem to basically be off the table for growth at NDSU, I would like them to look into hockey. I don't see FBS ever happening, and basketball as a low major is done. It seems impossible to retain players. So not sure whether it is worth pumping more funding into that when the results are going to be the same. Regular trips to Frisco and a plausible but unlikely chance at being a low seed in March Madness. I don't think you'd ever see NDSU be consistently better than UND in hockey. Maybe stretches here and there. I do think a base of support would emerge pretty quickly.
