  1. 2014 Ferris State Bulldogs can relate. Tough loss but glad to make the tourney. See you in Sioux Falls next year?
  2. He was off based on the rear camera but it's tough to call.
  3. Who is gonna start the "sucks to BU" chants?
  4. The scout job helps for sure, he doesn't lean on citing what round each player was drafted as the only gauge of a player's ability level.
  5. Starman is good but he showers EVERYONE with praise. Talking about how important Simonson is to the team on Saturday got an eye roll from me. A few years ago when he announced the game where O'Donnell had a hat trick against Duluth he was talking about how OD had such an outstanding career...he was scratched half the time with injuries or just not making the lineup. That said, he is knowledgeable about the game and the current college players. Takes the time to pronounce names the right way. Also, he's not overly enthusiastic like a certain ESPN guy. My critique is something a big fan would notice, but it likely makes it more enjoyable for the casual fan. If that's the worst aspect of his pxp, he's doing well.
  6. Use Google voice to create a phone number with a different area code than 701. I.E. 218, 320, whatever Northern Wisconsin is, etc.
  7. The friends I have who went to Duluth rooted for them during college but then moved back to the cities and reverted back to casual Gopher fans. I've met other UMD alum like this as well so it's not just my small sample size. It's like the college hockey version of lesbian until graduation. Do you live in a ski town? The only places I've ever seen DU gear has been on ski trips.
  8. This group of Bulldogs has definitely earned last place in this poll. We played MN and DU this year and don't have any individual skaters to despise. Also, Duluth winning would result in their fans claiming they should be considered among the upper echelon of teams in college hockey, and while not the case I don't want to read their poorly reasoned opinions.
  9. Mostly agree with Lowell higher than Harvard and Providence lower since they won it all recently under the same dubious "benefit of hosting without actually hosting" situation.
  10. Denver doesn't want to be the number 1 overall and go to Fargo. Can't blame them. Tech/Bowling Green will have the crowd behind them against Duluth. If we lose and Lowell wins we will get Goldy in round 1.
  11. I think it was 5 bucks cheaper but not 100% sure.
  12. http://bit.ly/2mDtkMe Silly @runwithdogs espouses feminism but dances in a way denigrating to women. Hypocritical!
  13. When he announced he would be back for his sophomore season that was pretty much an assurance of his timeline. Feels like just yesterday he committed to UND. Time flies...
  14. Agreeing to pay this would be less costly than allowing them to unionize, or worse, turn it into a "nevertheless she persisted"/#deleteuber type incident, which would harm the sport. The last thing we want is feminists paying attention to this issue.
  15. The only time many people (including myself) watch women's hockey that doesn't involve a friend or family member is the Olympics. That's a good talking point for them to argue for better pay. 1k a month is pretty paltry. Doubling it won't break the bank. 25k x 12 months is an extra 300k a year. It'll be more expensive if they wind up being represented by something similar to (or by) the NHLPA.
  16. He has a cabin in Northern MN...is it near Moorhead? Getting them an arena to join d1 would further cement his status.
  17. Brian Kaufman could be brought on as an assistant. Hill Murray grad, captained Miami during their title game collapse. Current HC and GM of Omaha Lancers.
  18. Is Jerome Beasley still playing?
  19. While that helps our RPI, Cornell's dropping is important to climb rankings and not have to worry about auto-bids
  20. Cornell is the only team we can potentially pass tonight and they are losing too. Their RPI is lower than prov
  21. Mortgage fraud. Wow. It's like the cops knew and waited until he was of no use to the community.
  22. It's likely due to the difference between Harvard Square and the cultural wasteland that is Fargo. The shock was demonstrated by the BU player that tweeted a pic after landing at GFK.
  23. Don't know, I avoid the Apple ecosystem. Google searching suggests the browser can't be cast on iOS.
  24. My problem with the delay is the CHN app updating me with goals before I see them. Didn't realize it was the case for all live events but it makes sense. Always happened with playoff games on ESPN in the past. Chromecast doesn't require an app. Just sign into nchc.tv on phone or computer and once it's set up the ability to cast only requires clicking the icon in your browser.
  25. Their Roku app sucks. Lengthy delay of 5+ minutes. They finally got their Chromecast interface working reliably in the last month. That's the way to go.
