Well dag-gummit, move it up! People's gotzta know!

So will we get anything before a Tuesday presser?

Pretty sure that was happening Saturday late.

We look like we're running out of gas late in games the way it is ... I'd spread the doubles around.

Double-shifting 17?

This weekend we could be short: Budy (until he's not a scratch, he's not available) Hain Senden Jamernik Sanderson Ferner ... and anything we don't know about ... Let's see, 27 man roster, but 23 skaters, down potentially 6, leaves 17. That's not a full (12F/6D) card. Awesome. Can Casey Johnson skate 4th line RW?

Twitter. GFHerald live chat. Here. Everyone is scraping for clicks.

UNO45 makes no attempt to adjust his path; and when viewed seeing the fronts (not backs) of jerseys one might make a case UNO45 lowered a shoulder. But, the officials made no call, so there was no penalty. Given history between UND27 and UNO45 it's worth a league review, but nothing will come of that either. The mistake on the play? UND4 did not attempt to complete his "amateur freelance dentist" qualification exam on UNO45. (I'm almost disappointed UND's "5s" on defense, 15 and 25, weren't out to converse on topic.)

Your new "walk up" music is a particular AC/DC song.

Yes, yes you did, and it was a ... big ... pick.

We now go to a LIVE IMAGE of @stoneySIOUXafter this pick!

California? That's any better?

Does coming off the bench create a match-up problem for the other team and an advantage for the player and UND?

When UND hit 69 points, my head said "put up 75 and DU loses". My math said, at the time, DU wouldn't get to 76 given where they were and remaining regulation time. What I saw from that point on was a bunch of guys who, here it comes, look young. Because they are. They have no "grizzled veteran" on the floor to show them how to close out a game. I put that on the quitters, the guys who portal'd to "greener pastures". One, just one, of those guys would've made a difference last night.

https://www.self.com/story/covid-19-beijing-winter-olympics-2022 Hey, Jake, remember when I joked about spending three weeks in a 6' x 8' cinder block room with nothing but a bed and a door? No joke, eh? Oh, that's right, Jake won't read this unless (not until, unless) he gets back: no WiFi, internet to only approved outside sites, and a burner phone that can't be as good as what he normally uses.

Well, at least we know he was tested and safe and the CCP has a sample of his DNA ...

Chris Chelios' kid is playing ... for China. "Chelios" <- the Mandarin word for "are ya kiddin' me!"

The only thing sure right now is: Denver will not finish eighth (mathematically impossible*). With two points this weekend, UND guarantees to not finish eighth. *Miami has 6 points with only 24 available to earn, so capped at 30, and DU has 32. UND has 29.

Um ... we lost our minds over a four-gamer (I don't count the exhibition).

If you could peel one off that group, it's Virginia, given its proximity to Maryland.

Jumpin'-freakin'-frijoles! Whodathunkit! I guess Mike will find something to ... do ... now that he's out of work.
