Cratter

Does anyone know how/when/where this cheer started? I love it cause other teams hate it. Great hearing it in throughout St Paul after winning the Final Five.

Well put this on the list of threads that have gotten high jacked.

1) Not a head shot (Contact to the Head). 2) Not a dirty play. Illegal yes. 3) Frattin far from a Goon.

Um another easy one make at least the slightest attempt to play the puck. Or wait to hit Wehrs once he actually has "posession" of the puck. Your right it was a race to the puck. Problem was one player wasn't racing to the puck (Fratts). The other was. It was essentially a tie with Wehrs stopping just before he touched it (or right after barely touching it) after he noticed Frattin wasn't attempting to play the puck. Thus him lowering his body embracing for a huge hit. And hence a Charge was called. Especially given the distance Fratts traveled not even looking where the puck was. If you are arguing that wasn't a charging penalty I would dare to call you a non smart hockey fan. Please educate yourself. Thanks for proving my point. You can't "get to the puck" first and not play the puck but instead play the man. That makes no sense. You have competing forces here. Again you can't "box out" a hockey player. That is another penalty. Its called Interference. You proved yourself not worthy of anymore of my time.

Charging: Seems pretty textbook call to me. And hard to argue via the "NHL rulebook" (I know its not the WCHA rulebook).

Come on. This ones easy. Any one can see Fratts had absolutely no intention of playing the puck. Homer or not its easy to see that from the beginning. Its probably just a reality of (WCHA) hockey now. If a player gets injured a game suspension will probably follow.

To each their own but I love seeing UC Davis at the Alerus Center.

Please ignore the troll.

Can someone help me out with this? I know it costs more in tuition for someone out of state to go to a university versus a state they reside in. But does "real costs" change? Who does the U of Montana have to pay for these scholarships? Itself? Their Higher Ed board? Who then in return give them the money back? Does it costs the university more for that out of state kid to sit in on a lecturer? Does he have a higher heating bill in his dorm cause he's from the south? How would you really be "saving money"? (in a non enron accounting sense)

Let's just hope the SBoHE isn't stupid enough to drop the name now after all the work that has been done and how close UND might be to keeping it. *especially now that they don't need to drop it for a sports conference.

Bring on the Gophers! Ending their season would be the great! Heck say UND losses. Skipping the Final Five, getting rested, and soaking in the losses, could even help the team. Just like Denver a few years ago when they missed the Final Five and won a Championship.

Yes but only cause UND will win tonight also.

I don't believe its true. I may be wrong. UMD wins. (plus the other two remaning games) Sioux loss the rest of theirs games (including tonight). CC wins the rest of theirs. UND would not be in fifth place. No way does a UMD win tonight guarantee a UND clinch of home ice tonight.

NDSU has a history of racism/horrid fan behavior in recent times: Reported by the Forum back in 2003: The Forum in 2009:

And the fact she was just in Grand Forks a year and a half ago. Not sure how many would go see her twice in Grand Forks in that short time period.

Isn't that what you want? The concerts there lose money. If you don't have concerts there the less money they will lose and won't have to ask for "more and more money." Just an empty building for most of the year. The naysayers are getting what they want.

just yours

yeah no crap. Note to any hockey tv crew: just cause you have an end zone camera you should rarely be using it. They have a "normal camera" and are rarely showing that one at the moment. extremely frustrating

Seems suspect to even pin it in the first place.

There has also been speculation that if its not the Thrashers it might be the Phoenix Coyotes, which the NHL currently owns due to them filing bankruptcy May of last year (2009). Here is an internal memo the commissioner of the NHL wrote stating they might have to look at the "moving option" and how if moved "should first be offered to Winnipeg." Going with the theme in the memo "this could depend on how much Glendale will contribute" in helping find a buyer. A proposed tax district around the arena failed:

And adding to that the new NHL CBA and the Salary Cap which was not in place back in the Jets era.

In 2005, when those 3 teams left the Big East: 23 teams changed conferences.

Apparently they aren't even sure. Guess we solved the mystery in the suite seats.

I am not sure where you got your number but I believe its wrong: Former Jets return to Winnipeg The MTS Centre website also mentions 15,000 for hockey.

Tipster Reports: Winnipeg to get NHL Team But then again its rumors:
