Ha, that goes without saying!

One would think it almost has to happen given the lack of bids for the 2015 regionals and consequential award to Compton Family Ice Arena. It would be funny if everyone just said "screw-it" to the neutral site policy and just submitted home arenas. What would the NCAA do then?

IIRC, that team was something like 13/13 combined on the PK against BU & BC.

He did one on with Katie Hale, or was I just imagining it? I seem to remember the phrase "we'll put this one behind us."

That's BS and excuses. "National Coverage" wasn't even on the radar when I was in school and our crowds rocked.

I think this is a better road team. Let's face it; those of us who travel to watch these guys are more inspiring than the home crowd these days. More gets written in the papers about the road crowds than how tough our fans were on the opponents. Anyway... SCSU probably deserved the Penrose since they were 3-1 against us. Let's face it; in the old WCHA it would've come down to head to head. We were only in the drivers seat due to a new tie breaker scheme. Regroup and start a new streak!

Way to go Zaniac!

Camera angle is off just enough to show both the crossbar and the goal line, so it isn't perfect. The puck popped the twine just behind the post. It didn't look like it crossed the line simply due to the angle of the overhead cam. The overhead angle is only "true" if the puck is on the ice.

By my count that's the third penalty we've taken in the WMU zone.

Yep, really picking it up now.

Maybe I'm just ornery because I'm not really liking what I'm seeing so far from our squad!

Well, just as fire Hak ran its course, threads derailed by the same re-hashed webcast complaints gets quite annoying.

Midcontinent did deliver HD to us a year in advance of what they agreed to, so maybe we shouldn't b*tch so much.

My guess is he'll be in the Springs tonight, since even if UND were to win tonight we won't know the result of the CC/SCSU game until about an hour afterward. No sense presenting a trophy to an empty building.

Got ours yesterday!

Unless it happens to be the third-place game at the NCHC tourney and you somehow still miss the NCAAs...

It's true for slew-foots!

Our favorite was Eagle Street. That side-hill with all the rocks and crushed aluminum cans was treacherous at 2AM!

Just. Keep. Winning.

Yes, I mentioned that in my post. The article you linked was evidence of a potential change that would make the kicker more relevant. I don't necessarily agree with moving the XP back, but it's pretty much a gimme so I can see why they want to do something different. I don't like the fact that moving the extra point back to the 25 would virtually eliminate the chance for a botched extra point to turn into a two-point conversion. Also, the threat of a Fake XP two-point conversion play may be reduced. I definitely don't want to see kickoffs eliminated...that would be foolish. It's FOOTball!

The greats have always been good at drawing penalties simply because they're tough to defend. I was mainly responding to Dave's argument that guys who whine about other players diving need to just keep quiet and play the game. The same should be said for guys that tend to embellish and complain about not getting calls. Suck it up and play regardless if you feel a guy is diving or if you feel a ref didn't make a call he should have.

I think Gardy played guys like Punto, Casilla, Rivas, etc. out of necessity rather than because he had an embarrassment of riches at the middle infield positions. Terry Ryan liked to build teams that were strong defensively up the middle, and back when they were making the playoffs consistently they did play good defense.

Because players who embellish and whine about not getting calls shouldn't "shut the hell up and play the game?"

I'm not sure how moving the extra point back to a 43 yard attempt will effectively eliminate kickers. Now, eliminating kickoffs and going to the automatic 7 would do just that. The option in the article posted above would actually make the kicker's job more important.
