Pio becomes Tiger? That's as bad as Gopher goes to UND (Dean Blais).

SDSU 1 UND 0 UND eliminated

UNO 5, UND 0 Final And of course #4 UMKC beat #1 SDSU to start the day so #6 UND gets #1 SDSU yet today in an elimination game.

Looking like they're going to need another six-unanswered comeback ... Good thing for this part of the bracket being double elimination.

Well I'll be: - win a Summit Tourney game as the 6 over the 3 (NDSU) - six-run unanswered comeback https://fightinghawks.com/news/2021/5/12/softball-no-6-und-rallies-for-6-5-win-over-no-3-ndsu-in-summit-league-tournament.aspx

Hornbacher's is now owned by Coborn's. Coborn’s operates 53 supermarkets in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois and Wisconsin under the Coborn’s, Cash Wise Foods, Marketplace Foods and Save-A-Lot banners. You're telling me Hugo's ran them out of town? I'd say WalMart and SuperTarget did the deed.

It's ba-a-a-ack. The rules are going back to the same as 2017 and 2018 and 2019. (The 2020 rules were an outlier based on a 24 team field.) pick six (6) forwards pick four (4) defensemen straight POINTS, not goals, POINTS (G + A) scored by your ten players in the four rounds to the Cup determines winner no more than five (5) players from a single NHL team on your team Teams must be in before first playoff puck drop. And as before, I'm not going to have much time to track scores; I'll need help with it. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Wow. They take the hot name (UMass assistant, RPI alumnus) over the Maine alumnus, former assistant, and interim head coach.

Chris Drury drops the hammer: David Quinn out as HC of NYR.

Sabres ... dulled. Devils ... exorcised Blue Jackets ... given to Goodwill Red Wings ... clipped Ducks ... plucked Flyers ... forgot their masks and vaccination cards and not allowed to board the aircraft Senators ... censured Blackhawks ... down Rangers ... penned in Sharks ... Martin Brody'd Stars ... collapsed into a black hole Coyotes ... hit by giant Acme anvil dropped by a roadrunner Kings ... abdicated Flames ... extinguished Canucks ... deported to the US

We started this season short at defense and ended up adding a pair at the end. And this forwards list has one conspicuous name absent this season: Toews.

I think this fits here. More awards for Mr. Weah. https://fightinghawks.com/news/2021/5/10/football-otis-weah-named-stats-perform-fcs-first-team-all-american.aspx

I just realized we're well on our way for my ... "Killer Zs" ... or ... Should they be called the "Dream Line" because you get lots of Zs ... I'll show myself out ...

Fifth year players put a bulge in the recruiting pipeline that is hard to work through. Ponder: eight seniors, three early signees, and a portal departure. That's 12 to replace. That's too many "freshies" on a roster. UND got away with it this time because of Covid and the portal option to ... stealing a phrase "flatten the curve" of the bulge.

Jordan Kawaguchi's 24th birthday was last week. At that age, he wasn't coming back; if he did, the Moldin' Rodents fans would be right --> 24 year old Canadians!

The terms "senior" and "sophomore" have lost their meaning with this strange new world of "extra year", so I think I get what you're trying to say. It's like the roster should list "current eligibility year" or "eligible years after this season".

It's the happiest week of the year on NDUS campuses: It's FINALS WEEK! So what? So it's the time that next year's captains and expected roster are rolled out shortly hereafter.

USCHO is reporting the SCSU quintet of Brodzinski, Fitzgerald, Donohue, Jaycox, Hrenak back for fifth season. Short term gain; long term ... TBD.

Karl Goehring .... the Goalie Whisperer ...

I guess the concerns of @bulldogg about JMU coming off the throttles when they have a lead came to fruition on Saturday: score 24 in the second, give up 28 in the third. Come off the the gas, Get it shoved up your a-a-a-and now we talk SDSU and SHSU ...

I know many things.
