Hope no one stiffs a person that calls himself "MafiaMan".

When Ben left Coach Glas' side to follow Mac to NDSU, we weren't getting Ben to coach UND ever again.

That's a PST nominee right there. http://www.kfan.com/onair/the-common-man-11896/preposterous-statement-tournament-vii-13248355/

That's good stuff right there. Sorry, "Superfan".

That sucks. I tried to run out to the bathroom just after the UND lineup last Saturday, before the color guard was even announced, and was basically physically barricaded from leaving. She said they can't let anyone out during the anthem. I was able to return to my seat a good minute before Mark Lindstrom was introduced. This, from the usher that let's EVERYONE that is waiting in at the whistle. We routinely miss 30 seconds of play waiting for people to stumble around and find their seats. Happens a dozen times a game.

I hear ya. I planned to drive down tomorrow as well, since I had to work today.

Your post I was responding to seemed as if you had too much to drink. I was being a smart ass. But didn't include a smiley. Sue me.

Really? "Were you even there?" Great retort. Not bashing anyone because they are disappointed. I'm also disappointed. I'm ribbing someone because they are so mad that their post was a bit incoherent, like maybe the poster was intoxicated. Sorry I didn't include a smiley for the thread police. And, no, you as a FAN don't deserve a thing. These guys aren't done. And they want to win more than you do.

Fair enough. Have heard those rumblings though in the stands this year. All these kids are good. Real good. Look at Sanderson for example. Gets the opportunity for more ice time this year and he has made the most of it. I think the adjustment to the speed of the game has to be more difficult for a defenseman. In that respect, Shaw (and Wolanin as well) has done quite well.

You might drink a cup of coffee.

Shaw played well the last two weeks of regular season. He signed before Hak left, before there was an assistant coach opening, if that's the angle you were taking.

Right. You deserved a win today.

Also not a new thing at UND sporting events. I know I wore a hockey jersey to many basketball games back in 1990 and I'm sure there were people before me that did as well.

There's those hockey-only fans showing their heads aga....

Our hockey association is quite similar. Scholarship is for need, up to 50% of all fees. I believe the only proof needed is a form that shows that the family qualifies for free or reduced lunch from the school district. They have tried getting families to do the volunteer thing in exchange of payment, but had a family commit, then do nothing, not one hour, so I think that went away. That said, I don't know that anyone asking for help has been turned down. Car pooling to away games and tournaments is encouraged. Equipment, everything needed, is also available for $40. My kids both are hockey players. They love it. We love it. Our hockey "family" is just that, a family. We see them all grow up, even the non-playing siblings. We look out for them. We care for each of those kids as if they are our own. The way I look at it, what am I missing? Going to the bar? Missing some tv shows? Missing out on more overtime? The cost is all relative. In the whole scheme of things, a child's hockey career is pretty short. Letting my kids play a sport they love for a few short years is so worth it to me.

My oldest is an '01. Wow.

I didn't see a "we" in there?

Crandall just made a bold prediction. Leadership statement from a freshman. This off season is pretty important.

Timeouts never do a team any good when you take them with you to the locker room.

One would think that a team with three Hobey candidates must be the favorite to win the national title?

To be fair, shouldn't the baseball coach be able to expect his team to be there since it is baseball season? He is taking it seriously, since he signed up to coach the team, so why shouldn't the kids (parents)?

Two questions McFeely asked struck me as quite odd, especially considering Mr. Kennedy was just named UND President yesterday. 1. Some people asked me to ask you how much classroom time do you have? - MM, do just a little research. Great answer by Mr. Kennedy to this one. 2. What's your relationship with the Stste Board of Higher Ed and the ND Legislators? - after knowing them maybe a month ?

Make sure to put a (2) behind my name.
