Make series this weekend against a good team. Time to buck up and let’s see what they’re made of. main reason for me starting a post so I can get some Intel from you guys. Have a pregnant wife and toddler and coming in from out of town to come to the series. Tips or tricks on where to park around the Ralph to avoid taking a bar shuttle. Do they allow drop off and pick up closer to the door?

Same with people who buy a 2013+ but then bitch that it’s ugly with no number. Ok, then pay to letter it or be quiet. Smh.

Ferner not playing hockey.

It’s entertaining to listen to for the most part. That part was pretty good.

This makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one to question my jersey picks for games. Thank you.

I’m talking about the white Nodak. The current replicas aren’t adidas brand. Black ones are, have the logo on front collar.

The replicas they have now aren’t made by adidas hence no adidas logo on the one above.

I like it for my personal tastes although I don’t like it bc that means no more Molson. Hard to beat drinking a hockey (Canadian) beer watching the game. Just hits right. Although too many and you’ll hate yourself in the morning.

I go for what’s on the ice, plain and simple. Couldn’t care less about music, , jumbo tron promos, etc in between stoppages.

Probably going to be an unpopular take here. At what point did hockey games need to have fan engagement to keep you entertained? Aren’t we all there for the game? Why rely so much on students for chants? You’re adults. If you want chants, start them yourself. The commercial-less 3rd period is about the only thing stated that would be an improvement IMO. Beyond that, I go for the game. Don’t really care or let what music is playing or where the students are have an effect on my game experience. If they win, good. If they lose, not as good. Gimme a beer. A chair. And the game. Some of these gripes seem quite silly.

I wouldn’t mind keeping those for special occasions. Or a rarely used alternate.

Something happened at DU with Adidas bc their deal abruptly ended and they’re now with New Balance. Although they kept wearing adidas with patches over the adidas logo. I wonder if adidas just isn’t doing a good job with hockey.

As a Red Wings fan, going to college in Iowa City with a ton of Chicago fans during their run up to the 2010 title, I absolutely despised Chelsea Dagger. Then I met my wife and her NoDak family, went to games, and the song changed meaning and with Chicago not being that good the last several years, I don't mind it as a goal song. HOWEVER, the best one I think I've experienced live was in Columbus. The Blue Jackets score, horn goes off, then they belt out "FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK" followed by a loud firework boom (much like UND), followed then by an upbeat song to finish it off. Seems like a lot but it works in my opinion. But am fine keeping it the same. May get skewered for this one, but I enjoyed DU's "Let me clear my throat" goal song bc that's just a good tune and it plays well to get you excited, but I've been told it's been changed.

I feel attacked.

Another example of this is the most recent episode of the Has Beens talking with Matt Van Voorhis. He seemed to plan on being in Denver one season, but coaching staff said you need to stay down for another year, did, and then came the following. Granted his came when he had a really poor season in the USHL. Can't really measure if it made him better for college but during his college tenure, he obviously helped a team win a natty.

Also would be curious to tune in and see quality per school. If each feed is from their own productions, that’s literally no different. If ESPN produces them, then they have an upper hand, just don’t see it.

I don’t see the Hockey East deal as that great. Much like nchc with partner CBSSN for some games, the only plus is the quality of the ESPN service vs the NCHC provider. CHN article said most, if not all, games would be on ESPN+. That doesn’t sound too special. Sounds equivalent to NCHC.tv plus CBSSN to me. Most, if not all, UND games are viewable too.

With that said, you gotta give more minutes. It was one of those “damn, who is that?” (In a good way) ….it was Albrecht.

Very small sample size, but I thought Albrecht did pretty well with what he was given, even last night. One particular shift early, stood out and possessed the puck well.

It’s mind boggling people think a team full of new teammates should just gel and be instantly good bc they’re not freshmen.

Gonna be 51° but breezy so no grilling. Lame. Maybe clean the garage of the winter muck, turn on the radio, drink plenty of beers, have sports on tv but nothing worth watching. Try to give my wife a pickle tickle and get slapped away per usual and be in bed on a Saturday by 845p.

To next season we go?
