Michigan and Thee Ohio State school of free tattoos likely headed to a shootout here.

Exnay on talking about our goalie not giving up a goal..... Hey Faragher!!!! SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT....No way UND scores a goal on the SHUTOUT man Faragher.

This is where I'm in the fire the coach crowd. Gardy is awful. Guy simply cannot manage against the quality teams and he has proved it over and over against the New York Yankees and other clubs. I'm not sure how he let Alexi Casilla and Nick Punto get naked pictures of him, but he did, and I'm glad the Twins found a way to get rid of them so Gardy didn't have to play them and bat them second in the lineup. Get a new guy in there with some energy and fire, and for the love of Carl Pohlad try something different. Last place, 90 plus losses on the horizon again.

Recruiting is bad in Minnesota. I think what ticks public school backers off is the fact that private schools can openly recruit whatever player they'd like no circumstances attached. And what ticks private school backers off is being called the only recruiters in a very corrupt system. I'd personally like to see a private school section in AA hockey. Imagine that section tournament...... Never happen though.....

I thought the EGF goaltender was the story of the game. Made some tough stops on some quality Warroad opportunities. This is the first time I got to watch EGF play. All you hear about them is about how tremendous of a defensive team they are, but they struggled in their own end a bit. Of course a lot of that was due to who they were playing. Fun game to watch. Glad it was streamed on wdaz.
-
And the hockey gods hold true..... Whatever team hits the crossbar in OT will lose the game. Congrats to EGF on their trip to St. Paul!
-
2-1 EGF about ten to go in the third. Warroad carrying the play though.
-
I can't believe all the names you are hearing in this game.....Palmiscno....Eades....Poolman....Bowen.....Nelson.....Ausmus...... Been a pretty good hockey game. Two bounces....two goals. Anyones game in the third period.

I think with new high schools popping up you'll see some parity just about everywhere but Grand Forks. Minot getting a new high school is in the works, and I'm not sure when the new Bismarck one opens up. If those two both have hockey then you are splitting Minot, and you are taking a chunk out of BHS and Century. Any Fargo people know if West Fargo's new school will have hockey?
-
I've followed some the youth levels and to see what those bantam teams are doing from Grand Forks is scary. Back when I played there was a North and a South Grand Forks in the youth levels. Guess I'm not sure why they got away from that? They played with the same group from 6th grade on up through high school. I guess the only time North and South kids played together was Stallions if they didn't make their respective high school teams. In Fargo are they splitting up Davies and South kids on Bantam teams? How about the angels? Anybody got an idea if there is hope for a Shanley high school team again?

It takes a lot to watch/follow a team that loses that many games. In my dad's time at UND they lost way more than they won. But he was still at every game, living the college dream. Kind of unique, when my dad started at UND the Old Ralph was new, and when I started at UND the New Ralph was just getting going. Will there be a New Ralph part 3 when my two year old enrolls in UND in the Fall of 2030? Could be later, depends on how many years that Hak wants him to play juniors.
-
Me and my old man will be there, and possibly three more as well. ItalianSioux is a possibility, and two others that will be in group at the Target Center as well. Could be bringing five in the Wilbur posse.
-
We don't talk about Rube.....And if we are talking about a rube, like sports nut as per say, we have to clarify this as well. If you want to set my dad off, talk about the stretch when he was at UND when they only won 16 games in two seasons.....and lost 51 games during that time period as well.
-
Plenty of beer for you there. Not that I'm sure a ton of people are there pounding beer after beer. Its fun to put faces to monikers on here.
-
I almost didn't say who I was last year, but there were so many good people there that I had to introduce myself to Mafia and a few others. Such a good crowd of people. I don't think goldy gopher herself would get bullied at the Hogg.
-
Brad made a good point on his blog or a tweet he made. No more winning the league and getting Tech or Anchorage. I think more importantly, win three of four games to close out the year and that likely means the team has an autobid into the postseason. Of course getting to the Target Center is pretty important now that I have tickets....
-
Starman and whoever the play by play guy is for CBS do a sensational job covering college hockey. UND has a pretty good record this year when they show up too.
-
So you mean it's better to finish well than start fast?
-
Hey, here is 98 million dollars to come back home and live near family and play hockey. NO!!! I love New Jersey. They drafted me and I'll take less money to play here and enjoy driving in Trenton. It's a business.

Team on a definite high after the last two weekends. If you told me in the last stretch of 6 games they'd go 5-1 any one of us would have been thrilled. I like the way UND is playing. Getting good goaltending, getting contributions from just about everybody, and specialty teams may have taken a swing for the better. Swept by SCSU to begin the year, and now they meet five months later with a completely different UND team. How many of us on November 29th (the night they got beaten by St. Lawrence), saw them tied atop the conference with SCSU, playing games against them in late February/early March for the top seed in the conference? Ohhh, and sitting #10 in the pairwise with a chance to lock up an auto bid before the postseason tournament? To quote my good friend gfhockey......fire Hak.
-
I thought it was a pretty well officiated game until the end. Let them play up until the last 7 minutes of the game. Can't believe they called that hook on Bismarck, and then the tripping on Central in Bismarck's end with 16 seconds left. They need to have the ice crew put the plastic net moorings in for the tournament instead of the metal pegs. The net came off far too many times. Not only this game, but in a lot of the games that I watched. I'm a former goalie.....you bet your @ss we know what we're doing when the net continually gets knocked off in a game.

Matt Spivey. Thought they were from Fargo. My bad.
-
Congrats to coach Peluso. In his fourth state championship game, finally gets the win.
-
Spivey is from Fargo.....
-
Bismarck Demons, state champs. Congrats to them on breaking the streak.
