Its now 60 days 11 hrs and 21 minutes until Oct 6 puck drop! Getting closer and closer....

69 days 4 hours and 42 min until it drops. (Sorry, was fishing and missed 70 day time...)

80 days 10 hrs 30 min until 2018-19 exhibition game puck drop.

90 days 2 hours and 15 minutes now...……..

Tough game to watch. Columbia was nothing but thug play until (finally) the American ref pulled numerous yellow cards in a row- some on England too. He lost control of the game for 1/3 of it. But England did not play offense either.... No one to root for here- kind of hoped both teams would lose. And England goes thru with less penalty misses. Doubt either team gets another win so winner doesn't matter.

98 days, 7 hours 28 min till puck drop now...

Since no active hockey to follow just a reminder-- 110 days 3:40 until puck drops Oct 6.....

Could not agree more (hope that is correct MM). I would like to watch ONE game this series where the referee decisions (or lack of them) had no big impact on the game.... How about a new concept: call the game by the rules for a change, not for Vegas or TV ratings/added days of more games...

Sent you a PM

The Team played way better than I expected. Consider they were 2 disallowed goals (1 each night)- both of which could be legitimate goals, not seen as such by refs- from a sweep of the #1 team in the nation. I did not expect that. Even if they had swept Clowns, they would still be #4 in NCHC anyway too, so none of it matters as it turns out.

For me it is Monte now. His classless stuff this season has reversed my opinion of him as a person. Sandelin himself is not such a person (I don't think). It was his players who seemed to be headhunting and diving last year that made me disgusted with Duluth last year. I have not seen them play this year, but if they continue cheap shots and diving I might agree to dislike Sandy just as much.

Blackwoods still my Fav. Tavern on the Hill. Breakfast at Sarah's Kitchen. Pizza Luce All are good.

I wouldn't want to take an Ivy final either. How would you construct every answer in a politically correct manner without a brain sprain??

Well Philly loses X in a row....... To "prove" this is a coaching issue, do you not have to assume that ALL teams are equal in talent in the NHL? Perhaps there is indeed a "talent lack" issue in Philly.... Just say'in. (not trying to defend Hak- I still expect him to be gone soon).

After a goof penalty kill- we should have held up the Mittelstadt poster of the failed pull-up with the fans cheering them "back to full strength"--Mittelstadt strength....

I miss MJL singing every time there is a female vocalist, They sing too slowly and drag out the Anthem. Every one of them! That is why MJL is the BEST!! He sings it correctly.

I was up at the games live this past weekend. And besides the really bad ice, it was very clear that the clutch and grab, hook and hold, old time WCHA problem was very evident. Even if the PP was terrible, the ability to use your skill was significantly impaired by the lack of being able to simply MOVE quite often. Which makes the PP even more important, as when something is finally called, we need to capitalize on it, and just did not (yet). So PP really needs to improve (broken record thought, sorry).

Lets see...Haula sits the game, and the Wild win with a shutout. Hmmmm. Perhaps limiting ex-gophs on the ice is the formula for success?? Just sayin..

Yes, my buddy had a pack of cookies confiscated. But they missed my miniatures.....sweet.

Just an FYI about Scheels arena: Last time on the first night it was check your ticket and go in. Second night it was get searched before admission to catch any booze (or food too) coming in, but that got stopped as it took too long and lines were backed up so far they would not get people in before game time, so they stopped. I have no idea what the plans are this year, just be aware....

Checking was awesome...but I wonder if East refs will give most of them the penalty. Sorry for the Debbie downer attitude, but playoff hockey seems to be pretty wussified...

Drake Caggula just scored his second of the year for Edmonton to tie Stetchers canucks 1-1. Nice PPG slammed in as a one timer from the slot.

Thinking like that and living in this country---- no wonder we "disagree" so strongly. Is our education system that far gone???

Jill stein just caused the state of Michigan to go to Trump. He won by 10.000 votes. She got 51,000, taken most likely from Clinton. Now she wants another review?? Check it out: http://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2016/11/23/donald-trump-wins-michigan-votes/94360852/
