The Sicatoka

Hot dog guy has no shot. He messed up and gave Torts mustard instead of catsup (ketchup?). Now the beer vendor ...

Hobey Hat Trick: Caufield McKay Pinto

The Hobey Hat Trick: Buccimane's son Cole Caufield Mankow goalie Dryden McKay Shane Pinto* *Let's hope he does what our last Hobey Hat guy did (Kawaguchi) and comes back for another year.

Kierstad (FLA) and JBD (OTT) have both officially signed. Based on the last game's chart, Frisch and Sanderson just became the top pair.

Glad you qualified with "almost" ... I'm thinking about the head coach.

Official signings (early or burns the extra 'Covid' year): Guch -> Dallas JBD -> Ottawa Kierstad -> Florida

The cold going around is a real < bleep >. I have it. I thought I'd caught "the ol' one-niner" but tested negative. It starts out sinus, mimicking allergies, and then all the drainage makes your throat so messed up you start to cough and in my case I coughed myself a case of bronchitis that got infected. (My mucus had every shade of green from NMU to UND to NDSU to BSU.)

Let's see if I feel sorry for them. < puts palm to forehead > Nope. Not at all.

Who do I believe has the best chance of coming out on top? Covid protocol

Moorhead gets a late PP and pulls but gives up ENG, ... and then scores with fourth line ... 4-2 Lakeville South final

And Lakeville South scores on a delayed penalty call. 3-1

And Lakeville South goes ahead ... 2-1. 9:16 to go

Lakeville South gets the equalizer at one. 9:35 to play

Moorhead gets two pipes and a goal on the power play. 7:13 left in second.

Moorhead and Lakeville South scoreless after one.

Spencer "Mr Blocker Side" Knight is officially a Florida Panther. The Cats also have "Bob" at $10M per through the '25-'26 season.

When Michigan was Covid DQ'd, yes, UMD should've been moved to the night game v. AIC. It would be fair as both teams would have equal prep time for that opponent. UND, the one-seed, should've been protected and had the bye (as it just happened to work out for BC, but to no avail).

Matt should be able to ask for (and get) a "full boat" entry level deal.

Cruikshank is still the pick of that litter.

Dumb question: Person gets the vaccine. They are not exposed (no Covid). But they get tested. What will test come back as? Will the vaccine fool a test?

Thanks 'bish. (Call I call you 'bish? I feel like we have a good vibe. ) Occasionally UND fans need a reminder of the legacy of success ... 1957-58 1962-63 1964-65 1966-67 1978-79 1979-80 1981-82 1986-87 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 2000-01 2003-04 2008-09 2010-11 2014-15 2015-16 2019-20 2020-21 What's that? Regular season conference (WCHA or NCHC) championships. Closing thought: Two NCAA titles (59, 00) came in years without a conference regular season title; the other six came with (63, 80, 82, 87, 97, 16)

File under the category of "Hockey is a funny game": The guys you don't remember are the ones who played a solid game. Normally when you remember a defenseman it's because of a mistake. Goalie? That spectacular save is because they were scrambling because they weren't square.

From the (admittedly little) I saw of Farrance, he'd be lucky to be third pair at UND this fall. Was not impressed.

Open and forthright. Stick-tap to Thome.
