Blackheart, you should be on the cover of Time as Man of the year. We have been attending and/or watching Sioux hockey for 40+ years. Since March we have been devoting every Friday night to watching the games you've posted. Still embarrassed by our behavior at the "time out" game with our family (all goof fans). Went down 3-0 and we acted like babies going to the club level bar to drink away our sorrows. Family pissed as we said our boys had been battling the flu......which they had been.
Hated Frank but loved Wooger as his color guy. RIP
Seeing the glimpse of young asst coach Blais celebrate in Providence 1982 was awesome.
Knew the Gasparinis some from Tootsie teaching Health at Central and Gino Golf 1 at UND. Had fun revisiting the memories with Gino at the St Paul Hotel following the 2012 Championship game vs the Daniel Boones'.
Thanks again for the memories!!!!!!

I am a responsible senior citizen with extreme claustrophobia. The thought of wearing a mask is troubling but I gave it a try entering the grocery store. Couldn't do it especially after my glasses fogged up making matters worse. Now I go get groceries during low traffic hours without a mask.

Feeling fortunate that my grandson has continued to attend preschool with all his friends and his parents continue to work (1 @ home) in the FM area. There have been no issues with staff or families served at the preschool/daycare this whole time other than the occasional typical sick days. Knock on wood, hope this wasn't a KOD, but still, the staff and families there are so far not buying in to all the hype.

Agreed. Emptied our bucket lists attending the 2016 Natty win so what the heck. Thelma and Louise we will be.
-
No hockey to watch and we're retired seniors with underlying health conditions. Bingo tonight?

If you are wondering what I am getting at, it is that if you have nothing to bitch about you don't say anything. The ultimate definition of a douchbag.
Ummm, no, the ultimate definition and spelling is.....!@#!$! and its variants are pejorative terms referring to an arrogant, obnoxious, or despicable person. LOL

Question for those of you who got Wildhorse Saloon tickets... Is that a mobile thing too? Or in the off chance of a resale opportunity should I be looking on Ticketmaster or here?
The 2000 tix to the Wildhorse Saloon on Friday night are sold out. UND booked the entire venue as I understand. The free Saturday pre-game party will be nuts.
-
If you have the money, Stubhub and Vivid seats have tix available. Heard Craigslist & Ebay as well (jerks).

Comparable Marriott properties on the West End are out there for half that. Airport and Opryland will also do in a pinch for sensible rates.

if the hotel is $400 a night times 4 equals $1600
plane of $500. Times 2 is $1000 Plus the hotel of $1600 is $2600 divided by two is$1300 a person
does this make sense
Hotel is $190/night, Charter flight is $700, in my experiences, a bargain for the hassle free efficiency and convenience.

A couple miles from arena but they have a complimentary shuttle service that runs every half hour to all the Nashville hot spots.

Al Pearson's daughter has arranged 1 charter plane (and maybe a 2nd) leaving GF Wed @ 11 returning Sun @ 4. $1400 for hotel & flight, $500 down payment to reserve a spot due ASAP. Remainder due in Aug.

8 in our group in 106 + Wildhorse tix

Know of some staying at Treasure Island because of the best value. The daily resort fees are a killer anywhere you stay, including the Orleans.
-
The Orleans has a complimentary shuttle that runs every 1/2 hr back and forth from the strip. I believe pick up/drop off is at the High Roller/Harrah's which is near the Linq. Orleans' guests have priority to board but it is for anyone should you wish to attend the sponsored tailgate parties on Fri and Sat.
-
Our tickets say $79. Any suggestions where we should go watch the Vikes vs Saints game Sunday night while in Vegas?
-
McAlpine apparently is the 2nd to be offered MN asst coach and declined even though Hammy of GPL fame said it was a done deal. Fake news.
-
Pearson bus still has availability to Madtown. Ride/tix/refreshments $190pp. Fun times! Staying at LaQuinta $96/night.
-
Exactly, plus UND and Denver were already in the NCAA. Their compete level at the Frozen Faceoff was no where near their compete level in the Frozen Four.
-
The push is definitely on with the NCHC fan bases and college hockey junkie attendees in general. Apparently sales are down and game tix and hotel rooms in MSP will be plentiful come March. The League is going to be so screwed if (perish the thought) the good guys in green stay away.
-
You assume alum and fans are only 4 hours away who follow the team. Alternative facts.

Have stayed at The Loews, Radisson Blu and Marriot City Center. It is not likely we will return unless the FF moves back to St Paul, but if we were, we probably would choose the Marriot to get the best deal within walking distance. They each have their perks and/or negatives.

After 10 years, we too did not renew our 6 seats. Went to the WCHA FF's and then the Frozen Faceoffs to watch quality college hockey. The Target Center is not 'quality hockey friendly.' Teams likely already in the NCAA Tourney according to pairwise also do not appear to put forth their best effort. Due to parity, seeding is not that big of deal in a one and done and they want to go in healthy. Last year the highlights of our trip were Hell's Kitchen, FireLake Grill and The Shouthouse, not watching hockey. Make reservations ahead of time! The Pourhouse is fun but packed pre-games so arrive early.

Used to regard your posts as rather thought provoking but this is mean to this older, withering senior citizen. Learned from Oprah years ago, "When somebody shows you who they are, believe them."
