There's no doubt they are benefitting from riding our coattails, and that gives them a reason to skate harder and finish checks against UND. Their ascent is good for the college game, too, showing how prime their locale is for recruiting in the USHL to the other big state schools in the area. When they sweep us in the Ralph or win a natty I'll pay them more attention.

He's serious. In their world we care about them as much as they care about us.

But of teams using the moniker Mavericks, they are #1! Sorry @bale31

The rivalry is partially manufactured by the league as an assigned travel partner. Personally, they are 4th/5th of 7 on my list in the conference now that Blais is gone, and probably 7th/8th overall with Bemidji. Just don't have the history of stinging losses/epic wins/fisticuffs/dirty hits like other rivals. They'll probably pass CC on my list if they (CC) don't turn things around with the new arena on campus.

I enjoyed this shade towards St. Cloud in Brad's story: "Obviously, we need to limit the after-the-whistle stuff and the penalties, but it will be just like we play Duluth or Mankato," Mismash said

Western recently swept Cloud, granted at Lawson. They could steal one at the Concrete castle.

Was there ever an explanation for why they announced a cross checking penalty but it didn't get served? That was odd, Starman and <not Holden> were perplexed and said they'd get an explanation but they never did.

Only caught the third, but the same guy for Omaha lost his helmet twice. Tighten that bucket, Prokop.

Kraken ownership are donating to UAA. Only 100k but might get some attention to their fundraising needs.

Damn.

He's been snakebitten after he got robbed by a pretty bad "no goal" call.

University of No Hardware

Manchester withdrew their bid to host a regional this year.

What about a sponsor? NHL is doing it. If it helps fill the coffers back up...

How instrumental was he in getting the new arena built? If he's the reason he gets more time.

This may have been addressed, but how did attendees feel about the atmosphere?

Paying more than ever for the chance to wear a mask in an atmosphere akin to a Thursday afternoon tilt against Michigan State at Mariucci? Pass.

They also lost two D in Pashchinuk (sp) and Mansicalco that tilted the ice in their favor. Harder for Walker to score off cherry picking when they don't possess the puck as much.

Bowling Green getting swept knocks them down a notch.

Jost runs into the goalie and LAK score on the ensuing PP. Brock Nelson cut himself badly on an awkward collision with PK Subban but came back and scored later in the game.

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2021/01/21_St-Thomas-Navigates-Move.php Having a private school in MN go D1 ruins the narrative of Midwest college hockey being more accessible than east coast where it's dominated by $75k daycares, but it's not like UST is opening floodgates.

And Boeser just scored late in the 3rd to tie it up vs Montreal.

Drake dished one to Schmaltz. https://www.nhl.com/video/schmaltzs-onetime-blast/t-277350912/c-7290893

If they'd announced the additional game the next day and said it was due to the short amount of time left in the game it would be better received by UND fans. My recollection is Perunovich didn't receive supplementary discipline last year for his checking from behind, is that correct? That was worse than this.

Story checks out.
