Fine. Well, I guess now we know why the season has gone to !@#$. At the end of the year, point back at that outdoor practice as the turning point. Of course the ice is not the same. Did you read my next post in this thread? FFS

Well aware of that. Quality of course differs in that you might not have a perfect glass-like surface. But they do maintain the outdoor rinks in GF probably to a standard that exceeds many indoor sheets. I just don't get some of these posts after losses. There's a risk to injury each morning that you get out of bed. It's just relative to the activity you'll participate in that day. 100% agree on the team building aspect to it.

Shocked, I say!

Witty, too.

That's cute.

So, what's your solution? Stop recruiting really good players? FFS They just got swept in a series in February. There's no perspective to a full season any more.

Wouldn't shots off posts be counted in "shot attempts"?

They aren't all wearing CCM skates anyway. There's such a variance between skate boots, no one in their right mind would ever force a person to wear a certain brand. I remember basketball shoes varying quite a bit. Each foot is unique, and a different brand works better than others, even though you can bake the skates to fit your foot. It's still different.

Very fair comparison to Benik in my opinion. Its not a Class A/AA argument anymore. These kids that are elite are participating in spring festivals, summer leagues, fall leagues, etc., playing against the top competition and they are already on the radar. A kid can't hardly help the town he lives in and whether he's attending a school that is A or AA. Kids at any level can be hit or miss. 39 goals in a season of high school hockey is impressive, I don't care where you're playing. And TRF plays a pretty solid schedule. Here is a great article to ponder: http://www.letsplayhockey.com/teams/high-school/2979-moose-lake-hockey-lives-on.html You are spot on with the Motzko reference as well. May see another '99 or two from Section 8 get snatched up by SCSU soon as well. The pitch is that "if you were two inches taller, every school in the country would be all over you. I'm here making an offer now because I believe in you." - I know for a fact he's playing this angle. Motzko has done pretty well recruiting these types of guys.

Best thing you have typed on here in quite some time.

I was more alluding to the seventeen mentions by Jim Nantz that Coldplay, Bruno Marrs, and Beyoncé were coming up at halftime. If someone didn't know that already, they were out of the country. Also, tough to be disappointed when the expectations were very low to begin with. All the hype for Super Bowl 50, and that's their halftime show pick? Must have been like the Pro Bowl selections in that 114 people turned them down.

If Coldplay doesn't play "Adventure of a Lifetime", CBS will be pretty disappointed.

Wow. If "they" get him help... The kid has been enabled his entire life. Another example of affluenza, maybe?? I sure hope that I'm never in that position as a father, but I can guarantee it won't be "they" that get the kid help. It will most definitely be "WE".

That is so obviously a "Pioneer".

But don't tell McFeely that. http://www.inforum.com/news/3936942-mcfeely-states-leaders-should-get-use-private-planes-not-force-fake-humility Apparently criticism of NDSU is not allowed. Don't you know they have now won FIVE national titles in a row? Do you realize the exposure that brings to the state of ND? You can't jeopardize that with some frivolous questioning of El Presidente's judgement in flying business class when the only alternative would be to sit with the peasants in coach. He's IMPORTANT! duh.

Are they going to turn this into a circus as well? http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3936932-und-presidential-search-committee-revisit-eliminated-application

I don't know if the baseball references he keeps making are something he does all the time or if it's a sign of mailing it in regarding this game. He sure doesn't seem like he expected BSU to even be in the game, let alone winning it.

Would love to see BSU get one here on the PP.

Fans at the X booed the lack of effort by the Gophers when a BSU player wins race to nullify icing and McLoed says the "U fans must want a penalty there" and then there's this: "these are two teams that won't ever play again under any circumstances, unless it's very deep in the playoffs"

"Aspire to greatness"

I'm having this issue again. Used to follow across all devices, but the board isn't going to the first non-read post for me anymore on any of them. IPad, iPhone, PC, doesn't seem to matter. Have tried logging out and in again, but that didn't help.

Would think it would've been more productive to sit together and strategize the trip during the flight, especially if he needed the extra space in order to "work". Maybe he was able to do that via texts, though?? It's too bad he even had to be on the same plane as those other peasants. With a trip of this utter importance, and the supposed value it will bring to NDSU, taxpayers should feel fortunate that the Dean didn't commandeer the NDSU jet, as it seems he would have been justified in the eyes of some in this thread. Will be interesting to see the number of tuition waivers that come directly as a result of it.
