He understands the fundamental concept of "put puck in their net". I wonder if some of our guys understand that concept. And to win, you must put at least one puck in their net. Finally ...

Minn/Wisco or Minn/Wisco/Duluth

Oh yeah? 6-66-1 or 11-101-2 Hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_Fighting_Hawks_women's_ice_hockey

So ... other head coaches could get those players into the NCAAs ... Looking back, the biggest factor to getting UND WIH to the NCAAs was the Lamoureux twins, but even with them it only happened 2 out of 3 seasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_Fighting_Hawks_women's_ice_hockey Facts are pesky things.

I want a double Gordie Howe hat-trick mano a mano.

Stop playing to the level of the competition. Start playing to the level of the abilities. This team can play to the level of top 5 PWR teams (ties with DU and SCSU); it needs to play like that every shift.

My sources tell me both will be playing for their USHL teams (Randklev to Fargo, Frisch to Green Bay) this weekend. Can someone talk to Cary Eades and get Frisch to Fargo so we can watch them both?

I hear they are light and aerie. <-- Does no one get the homophone pun? Where the < bleep > is Mafia when you need him ...

Please continue the March.

Dear Sen. Heitkamp, ... or are you of the naive and fiscally unviable belief ... If it's the latter, you should not be in charge of a nation's finances much less those of an athletics department.

Again, and at risk of repeating myself, this does not scream economic viability. http://www.startribune.com/gophers-women-s-hockey-conference-wcha-takes-unprecedented-turn-toward-crowdfunding/435628563/ From the link: Crowd funding and losing $2 million a year.

All snark aside, in under six months UND (sans FB and MIH) will be in the Summit. The Summit not meeting the requirements I posted above costs a little thing called "an autobid".

The best solution involves fixing the Gary Bettman problem. After this year's rating debacle you have to think NBC (who has Olympic and NHL rights) will be begging to get the pros to Beijing. And this probably exactly what Bettman and the owners wanted.

So who'll get to 30 first? The New York Yankees or Grand Forks Central.

We've been too short on the bench to institute "skate or sit". It needs to be.

Grand Forks Central hung number 27 last night. Redskins. Maroon and Grey. Knights. Central wins because they are Central. North Dakota should take note win because they are North Dakota. It ain't the nickname; it's the effort.

I'll say it again: I never believed Rhett Gardner was such a key to the team. They are winless when he's out of the lineup.

Oh that silly old Section 20.02.5.2(b) requirement: 20.02.5 "Multisport Conference" of the DI manual is an interesting read.

Central wins with any nickname because they are Central.

It's a $60 million endowment to restore WIH. So, ... What are gold medals going for on eBay these days? Talk is cheap; takes money to play hockey.

SIU did it over the course of 5 years. See link.

Isn’t that the slogan of this Olympics?

I’m sure I could pick a team of all Minnesotans to play for the Goldy Goophies.
