I don't know what is more entertaining, watching Luis Arraez put up Tony Gwynn type numbers, or watching people (Twins apologists) just refer to a guy hitting .400 as "not a big deal" and "he's just a singles hitter". He's struck out less the entire season than the Twins did last night in Tampa. I'd say the group is possibly missing some piranhas type contact guys. Gosh I miss those teams, and I'll eat crow and say I miss Gardy. Can't believe I said that.

New NCHC head of officials is Mike Schmitt. Which means we can officially close the book on an official that once said "I just make things up as I go along." Interesting side bar, I once called a penalty during a men's league game in Minot on Mike. And yes, he argued all the way to the box.

Goalies: -Swede....32 -Kaleb.....1 -Hobie.....30

I had the chance to talk to him a bit this year and he is just a fantastic young coach in the hockey world. Humble, and a guy that kids like to play for. He will be a head coach in the NCAA one day. Mike Hastings putting together a fabulous staff for the badgers. Makes me wonder what the next step for Chad Demers is. Hope is health is okay.

Anywhere with an actual fanbase or rink. So Like 90 percent of the league. Gophs lucky he's in that dumpster fire organization.

Matej Tomek....Ja?

Me three. I can't believe that with the guys that we had back it was so sketchy.....Frisch, Kleven, Jandric, Moore, Farmer, Sidorski....DeRidder plenty of experience...... I'm anxious to see how the new Swede will do with a better team in front of him. I hope he isn't one of those goalies that needs a ton of shots to be really really good, and when he only faces 16-20 he's average.....

Either Moore kills it and takes off with Q's system, or Pecknold kills the kid and he's in a suit for turning the puck over.

So, with the experience coming in, we would all have to assume that the d zone play would have to be better next season correct? Bringing in older and experienced guys, and a goalie that has been hung out to dry for three years in Miami.....has to be better right? Ludvig....82 Games Britt....131 Games Pyke....83 Games Pehrson....127 Games Zmolek....28 Games.... My Minot High School math tells me that is 451 games of experience coming on to the goal prevention side of things next season. We give up 2-3 a game we should be fine, with the guys we have that should be putting the puck in the other net.

Emilio Pagan again..... Didn't play bad in Dodger stadium, some things didn't go their way.

Most importantly, they are winning series. Dropped the first to San Diego and Chicago, but came back to grab the last two. Thats really all they'll need to do to win what has been a pretty poor AL Central to start the season.

[Rant] Would you look at that. You have an NCAA tournament game being hosted by the higher seeded team at their home field. Next week too when you have softball starting.... Nobody tell the hockey people or heads will SPLODE!!!!! [/rant]

Nineteen year old center with three years of eligibility left. I'd say he will find a home pretty quickly.

Not a great last week. Long season though. Varland pitched well tonight, but they can't hit to save their lives. Kepler can't lead off. Need a high OBP guy.

West Fargo is Triplett, hearing that South will be announced soon. My bet would be Christian Berg.

GOOD GOALIE FROM CRAPPY PROGRAM LEAVES FOR TEAM WITH A CHANCE TO WIN. READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!

He got $200,000 guaranteed from the Cowboys. I mean bigger money in play in the NFL, but that's a decent haul for undrafted guy with a bumb shoulder.

The Bruins got worked in OT. Just couldn't recover from giving up that late goal.

Trey Augustine fantastic in net today as team USA comes back and wins in OT 3-2 against an excellent Sweden team. Sparty has got themselves a goalie.

Like #8 or hate #8 it was the right call not to take a QB there. One is needed at some point, but don't take Christian Ponder again because you are dead set at taking a QB.

USA wins 7-1....will play Canada or Sweden for the ship.

Sweep the Royals.....please.....these are games you need to win against a team that has no hope.

USA playing against Slovaks today. Up 1-0 early. If anyone wants to see a goaltending performance, watch the replay of Slovakia vs. Finland.

I agree on Dean. A team takes on the persona of their coach. Settle the eff down. The Wild have lost their composure.

He's a better person than I'd be... He's right though, figure out a way to win a best of three.
