The list is called "Google".

You just failed "Coach-speak".

Go to the hard places and battle.

I'm surprised nobody's found the interesting one in there: 2002. By happenstance, UND's season was ended in the WCHA first round by the eventual national champion.

Since 1996 here's how you find the NCAA DI Mens Ice Hockey National ChampionLook at North Dakota's schedule. Find UND's last game. If they won it: National Champion. If they lost it look at victorious team's last game. If that team won their last game: National Champion.If that team lost their last game, the team they lost to is the National Champion. Following that procedure to find the NC you get: 1997: UND 1998: season ended by Michigan (NC) 1999: season ended by BC (season was ended by NC Maine) 2000: UND 2001: lost to BC in NC game 2002: season ended by Minnesota (NC) 2003: season ended by Ferris State (season was ended by NC Minnesota) 2004: season ended by Denver (NC) 2005: lost to Denver in NC game 2006: season ended by BC (season was ended by NC Wisconsin) 2007: season ended by BC (season was ended by NC Michigan State) 2008: season ended by BC (NC) 2009: season ended by UNH (season was ended by NC BU) 2010: season ended by Yale (season was ended by NC BC) 2011: season ended by Michigan (season was ended by NC UMD) 2012: season ended by Minnesota (season was ended by NC BC) 2013: season ended by Yale (NC) 2014: season ended by Minnesota (season was ended by NC Union) 2015: season ended by BU (season was ended by NC Providence) Since 1996 UND has no more than "two degrees of Kevin Bacon" from the National Champion. Yes, a big part of it is making the NCAA's, but right there is a pretty solid measuring stick.

So, you're a masochist.

No. No. No. NO! Bettie Page was objectified by a paternalistic, patriarchal, misogynistic society. To try to identify with that over-simplified, two-dimensional view of the complex feminine identity shows submission to the hegemony. The preceding was The Sicatoka's translation of "Bettie Page? What? Really? You want to be compared to a '50s pin-up? That's how you want people to view you? Pretty shallow." into the language of academia.

What I see (just numbers) about Northeastern: - fewest PIM per game in HEA - if UND gets a power play it must capitalize - best power play percent in HEA - UND needs to stay out of the box - score early and more than one - NE'n doesn't appear to be a come-back team Northeastern stats courtesy CollegeHockeyStats.net: Situational Records Overall Location Home: 16 10- 5- 1 Away: 18 8- 6- 4 Neutral: 6 4- 2- 0 End 1st Ahead: 13 12- 1- 0 Behind: 16 2-10- 4 Even: 11 8- 2- 1 End 2nd Ahead: 21 19- 2- 0 Behind: 15 1-10- 4 Even: 4 2- 1- 1 Margin 1: 13 6- 7 2: 7 6- 1 3+: 15 10- 5 First Goal For: 19 17- 2- 0 Against: 21 5-11- 5

They better have donors because they won't be getting more money from the State any time soon (nor will any other NDUS institution).

Touché.

A statement and an observation: If she really is interested in her and her student's safety, has she done anything to get rid of the "no carry" laws of North Dakota when it comes to public buildings (see: campuses). Some call them "gun free zone"; bad people call them "no resistance zones". If she's concerned she'd get training, and after getting the laws changed, would carry legally to protect herself in event of her "immediate fear of great bodily harm or death" as she must've felt as she took cover and called for assistance. If she's "Betty Page", I'm Bradley Cooper.

Making my bold prediction of the day: SCSU and Minnesota win tonight. West becomes SCSU/Minn, DU and BU (shipped west because of 3 eastern in 9-12) Midwest becomes UND/BobbyMo, Mich and Notre Dame The NCAA gets solid attendance at both St. Paul and Cincy.

If you kids hadn't drop-flunked out of yoga class you'd know about the garuda mudra (hand gesture). It denotes a hawk.

I forgot that "The Gwoz" lurks out there ...

There were 4283 in The X yesterday if you count tickets, teams, school officials, game officials, league officials, press, camera crew, security staff, concessions staff, arena staff, and that Japanese tour group with the map that wandered into the lobby looking for the Cathedral.

Cary Eades? Mark Johnson?

Must. ... Resist ... Urge ... To ... Respond ... I'll just go listen to some music instead ...

In my day we called them "Sugar Daddies."

Uh ... what is that? < cringes >

The old nickname had 0.0% chance of survival in a world that has come to this: http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_29627999/stanford-uc-berkeley-students-stage-battles-change-controversial

I didn't think it possible, but I think the crowd has thinned out. Cue the music ...

The only folks who can find anything positive from this game? U of Michigan fans.

I'm anti euthanasia but for this game I'd make an exception.

Oh. My. Did they just say the goaltending continues to shine?
