They win their next 16 series in a row and they will be back to .500 ball.

2 in a row. When's the parade?

Good ol' Eddie the Eagle.

Half their games they haven't been competitive. It's embarrassing. On a good note you can get into Target Field for 5 bucks. Of course beers are still 10 bucks and with the way they are playing a guy could drop a 100 real easily.

Is that you Matt?

Porter in top 3 as a captain

Gotta go with Caggs followed by Mark Taylor and Greg Johnson

Without a doubt. The game has passed him by long ago.

Twins have now been swept in 6 of their 9 series this season. That's hard to do even for their sorry azz team.

Wild have a new coach. Bruce Boudreau signs a 4 year contract at 3 mil per. Nice to have an established coach but I'm not expecting any miracles.

Only song that may have topped that would of been Philadelphia Freedom.

Congrats to my nephew. Glad this is over and I know Carson is glad it's over too. Now he can get back into what he lives for. The game of football. Go Eagles!!!!

Shots were 44-11 in favor of the Caps.

I live here. The rink got a million dollar face lift 5 years ago. It's fine for a club team.

It's a nice facility. In fact they are in the process of building one onto it that will seat 2800

Wild look like a different team this second period. Haula ties it up

I got to think you are right.

Parise done for the playoffs. Vanek week to week. Haula day to day and will miss first game for sure. No problem.

Yes he did.

Here is Dubays follow up post. Crack must really screw with ones head. I knew my post about North Dakota hockey would bring out the hatred from the fan base but I defy any fan to dispute the facts presented in the post. Obviously I editorialized when I called them thugs and a disgrace but everything i backed it up with is factual and unimpeachable. It amazes me that the fan base will forever deny something that everyone indside college hockey has acknowledged for years. North Dakota plays a style of hockey that goes over the line more than any t...eam in the game. But as I also mentioned, year in year out they are absolutely loaded with talent and an elite program by every measure. To be honest, I'm not sure why the fans bristles the way they do when this topic comes up. Again, read the post from yesterday and find a factual misrepresentation. There are none. Embrace what you are, an elite program that plays an in your face style that at times goes much farther than the college game should. Still don't believe me? Hakstol really did send a thug onto the ice in the closing seconds to pound on an opponent. That story is true and it's a disgrace at the college level. Dubay is a disgrace to college hockey.

Came across a whiny rant by Jeff Dubay on facebook. What a complete azzhole. Oh the butthurt. Here it is: Watching the Frozen Four title game and have seen everything I KNOW about North Dakota hockey completely reinforced. They have dynamic talent bordering on overwhelming at times and they are as classless a collection of thugs and assholes that you will ever see at the college level. It's an institutional problem. They're coached to be that way. I've seen former coach Dave Hakstol send a goon defenseman to line up at wing for a meaning less center ice faceoff at the end of a game long since decided so he could jump on and pummel his opponent when the puck was dropped. I've seen a team captain instigate a fist fight in the handshake line. TWICE! Never seen it before or since in any sport. And now I've spent twenty minutes watching them take every liberty possible against Quinnipiac including numerous borderline hits intentionally targeting an injured opponent, going specifically at the injured body part multiple times. They could very well be a couple hours from being the NCAA champion but they are, were, and always will be a fucking disgrace. Fans can troll away, I'm not dumb enough to read your crap or respond to it. I've spoken to coaches and referees from the old WCHA in very candid, off the record conversations and I've heard them say things about that program and the way it's run that are far more critical than anything I've even said.

Gary Thorn is my pick
