I agree with these statements 100%. I like the makeup of this team. They just need to get a little more from their upperclassmen, and I'm confident it will happen.

Sioux getting outshot 18-3 in 2nd thanks to 6 PPs

The game's been over since they dropped the puck in the 2nd...

Hmm...imagine that.

3-2 duluth 2:02 left

Let's just say Gleason "gets it" and we're fortunate to have him playing for the Sioux.

That's what we've been looking for. Way to go Vandy.

Just what the kid needed!

I'm not necessarily going to complain about Kristo at this juncture, since it seems that every season we eventually reach a point where we start complaining about "one too many passes" leading to missed opportunities by the forwards. We may grow to appreciate his willingness to let it fly.

Yes, but the context of the speech was that "their time is DONE! This is OUR TIME" Given how the UND/UM rivalry has been so one-sided in UND's favor lately, the Gophers could have used that speech as a little inspiration!

I don't know about rope, but you might find one on a short leash between two red pipes on Friday...

I bet the current luxury of having the conference tourney in their backyard every year was another consideration. I don't think they'd get that every year with a BTHC. Please note - I'm not complaining about the gophers getting to "host" the final five every year, as I very much enjoy the tourney at the X and feel it's the best venue.

Yeah, I had the football game at 73%, but last night's hockey game came in around 58%-60%. I figured it was maybe due to a different type of cloud cover (because there was drizzle on Saturday), but after the game the stars were out and the quality was still down in that range. I still had a great picture, though.

Count me in that boat, too, Sagard. It's a team sport, after all.

In reality it will only affect the conference tourney seedings; the PWR will still determine the national scene. That said, late in the season CCHA coaches are now going to be faced with the decision to go all-out in a tie game for an extra conference point, or hold back to avoid losing a game and points in the PWR. I'm interested to see how this affects the teams on the PWR bubble in that conference.

DirecTV has to be able to deliver FCS Pacific to the west and FCS Atlantic to the east, so is it possible that for those of us in the FCS Central zone the feeds for the other two FCS channels will be on one of the RSNa channels and available via the sports pack? I have the FTA setup and plan to use it for the reasons stated here, but I don't see why DirecTV would have an issue accessing/broadcasting all three of the FCS channels either on 617 or via the RSNa channels. I guess we'll find out this weekend!

I think they look pretty good, but the triangle area on the collar (where the NHL crest is on the NHL jerseys) should have been done away with if they aren't going to put anything there. It looks kind of weird on the green and black jerseys to have a big white triangle of nothingness above the Reebok logo. Maybe they should have put the RBK symbol there instead of spelling "Reebok" across the bottom of the collar. Or, they should have left that area the same color as the main jersey color. It's not as noticeable on the white jerseys because that area is black.

One thing to note about Russo's article is that one of the key statements was... ...dump it where the goalie can't play it. The NHL has restrictions on where the goalie can play pucks. The NCAA does not. Dump-and-chase may be able to play into a more up-tempo style in the NHL given the restrictions on the goalies.

I think he was in 302 - at least that's where I used to sit and he was behind us for many games. SIOUXELEVENS would surely know as he sat behind us as well.

I picked up a 61" 1080p Samsung LED DLP TV last year for under $1900...the picture is amazing, but I don't see many DLP sets available now since the LCDs are coming down in price for the bigger screen sizes. When I was shopping for my TV a comparably sized "Flat Panel" TV was up around $4K - $6K. Couldn't beat the price to screen size ratio of the DLP, and the picture quality (blacks, colors) is fantastic. I sacrifice a little bit in viewing angle, but it's stellar for watching Sioux hockey on the FTA dish!! Blu-Ray on the PS3 is top-notch. The point about HDTV being "force-fed" to the public is a bit much. Nobody is forcing anyone to go HDTV, just digital, and apparently that wasn't force-fed well enough because they still had to push the transition back to this past June.

Yup!

The key statement here is that THE MARKET DETERMINES PRICE. So, when a company is hit with another tax or increased cost that reduces their profit margin, the only way to continue to make that profit is to get rid of variable costs, the largest component of which is usually labor. I guess the silver lining is that even if prices rise you won't have to worry about it if/when you have no income to buy things with, right?

Canadians love their system because they can just hop across the southern border and get treated without having to wait!

Heck, The Ralph would be a better site than Omaha based on these statements.

We're all going to pay for this if it passes...
