Undoubtedly. But they could also self-inflict some irreversible damage as well.

"If any player scores a hat trick within 1000 feet of the arena shop between 7 and 10 pm this evening ... " Guys. Quick. A six year old just potted a hatty playing shinny over at U Park!

Interesting observation not really related to this series, but in general: Teams are so playing "system" hockey lately that defenses are getting surprised by the astounding tactic ... of splitting the D and skating straight up the ice at the opposing net. Parks nearly pulled it off against Duluth ( #$%&@ pipe). It was open all weekend against Niagara. And then there was this gem yesterday ...

Guys on the side of a milk carton: Schultz, N.; Caggulia; Johnson, L.;

Oh good grief. What do you do when you punt? Do you punt with your ball or theirs? Or does that annoying sky cam switch it out at the apex of the punt? #FirstWorldProblems

I know in college teams bring balls to the game, but I thought in the NFL there are no "team" balls just game balls. Is that not the case?

Seattle's various post-game interviews can make even the greatest Brady-haters Patriots fans for a game.

I may be wrong with this, but I believe in the Cherski era NCAA players only played for THREE seasons as freshmen were ineligible for competition.

Yup. They were missing about 8 points from the first quarter. You give me TDs; I give you FGs; that's a trade I'll always make.

The Tundra

I believe a UND womens player did it last season.

One trick pony knows one trick.

Jason Ulmer pulled off an "Ulmer" one night v. DU: 3G - 3A - 6Pts.

You doggin' me?

The UNDergroUND. The GroUND RoUNDers. The HoUNDs might be acceptable. We could use a McRuff the Crime Dog looking mascot.

Rephrasing the same question: What are the Purple Eagle's team colors ... hmmm ...

Some obvious names: Brendan O'Donnell Rocco Grimaldi (last March v. Wisconsin) Matt Frattin and Jason Gregoire (same game) in WCHA playoffs in 2011 Brandon Bochenski had a four goal game (that counts ). Dave Kartio scored four in one game in 1968. (The free, downloadable UND Hockey media guide is a good resource.)

You went to see "teh hockies", any kind of "teh hockies", and you admit to it publicly? They'll take your Bisonville password away for this.

I am best looking to the blind.

Hoe. Lee. Crap. It's really gone off the rails when Johnboy seems the rational one.

Only if you sealed the envelope with "spirit fingers". What are those?

That would work to get us through the first three bullet points of my list. The NCAA surely does not want that dominating the college sports politico-chatter. Instead they'd rather say ... "Don't look at how we wrongly strong-armed Penn State and they're now fighting back. Look over here at how we can strong-arm UND and get away with it!"

I'm hurt deeply. I'm not sure I'll ever get over it. . . . . I'm over it.
