This guy must be hallucinating. I've followed this team for a long time and I can count on the thumb of one hand the number of times I've seen Hakstol smile.

If Mafia Man would swing by the AmericInn and pick my carcass up, I'll go. I think this is the same hotel Al had us staying in before, which MM said was in his neighborhood, but I can text the address when we get there Thursday.

OMG! I thought with only 3 days between the rubber game with the Gophers and the play-in at the X, we hockey obsessed fans were going to be able to fill the downtime with some other aspect of our existence but, no. We're turning these few frames of video of the Frattin hit into the Zapruder film! Google it, kiddies. Next, someone's going to theorize there was a second skater on the grassy knoll. I kid. I have no idea whether Frattin's hit was dirty enough to merit supplemental discipline. It looked violent in real time and unfortunately it caused injury. I don't think McLeod has done anyone a favor by refusing to explain the rationale behind the suspension.

Something I bought last summer at Wilma Flintstone's yard sale. The dodo bird that makes the thing run is still ticking like a champ.

I'm the wrong one to ask; I just stumbled on the start of the replay of Friday night's game when I was resetting the VCR to tape the replay of Sunday night's game. I usually post on here to get a response from someone with a "guide." I'm not sure what that is exactly, but it must be a very credible source for TV listings.

Now on channel 23 FSSN. Kristo just scored. Plenty of hockey left if you want to watch the <spoiler alert> 6-0 Sioux win again

The bus will take us to the X. Al usually lets some Sioux fan hitchhikers who aren't part of the group catch a ride.

AmericInn. I think we've stayed there several times. Don't remember the location, though,

Al Pearson has a bus rolling to St. Paul on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. from the Ralph. Bus and tickets are in the neighborhood of $210. He's got hotel rooms, too, $80 a night. If you want to go, call him at 218-779-5740.

Don't know how old your son is but, here's a little parental advisory for you that the lyrics and video trend toward an adult theme. That said, I think "Chelsea Dagger" is a great song, a real ear-worm you cannot get out of your head.

You're right. I didn't read the question posed all the way through. My bad.

Happened for the first time last year--Duluth played in, played on and won Broadmoor. Right?

Tip of the hat to the fans who were extra special loud tonight. Great atmosphere. Wag of the finger to those who didn't see fit to get crazy with the rest of us. If a game like this one doesn't get them out of their seats, I can't imagine anything will.

Sorry, Sioux fans. Schlossman tweeting that Derek Shepherd and Marco Hunt again reffing.

Several hundred tickets available at the REA box office, being sold starting at Noon. $20. What are you waiting for? Go get 'em.

Wow. Brad Schlossman sees the "diver down" flag, too. Check out his goal summary http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/

And on top of all this, don't we lose an hour of sleep tonight with the time change? Boy, this day just gets suckier.

For the first time in about a month, I'm reminded how much losing sucks. I'm actually small-minded enough to blame officiating, and don't mind admitting it. Usually, I just say to myself that the boys have to skate through the BS piled on the ice by the zebras. I guess that's still true. I think the team will come out flying tomorrow night and put the rodents back in their hole. We'll punch our ticket to St. Paul and the Gophers can punch theirs to Daytona.

Schlossman tweets no lineup changes for UND tonight. We're stickin' with the horses that brung us. Capt. Kangaroo in goal for Go4s. If we hang a quick 3 on him, will Lucia hesitate to yank him like a bad tooth?

Is that from "Airplane"? Not many funnier movies than that.

Well, this is it. I can't believe that the Gophers won't fight like the cornered rat wannabes that they are. In that case, the boys have to quickly disabuse them of any notion that they can skate with us tonight. Kick them in the ass so hard, they'll have to part their hair to fart.

Then I can only hope that "2009-10" is the prequel.

Somebody make a sign like an old-time movie title card that says: THE END "Gopher Season" A Don Lucia Production MMX

Yep, that's the goal song. Same as Chicago Blackhawks use, as I understand it.

Davidson in at D for either Gleason or Fienhage.
