I am glad they ended up canceling the season instead of having a shortened, meaningless season. I enjoy hockey as much as the next guy but I wouldn't be satisfied with a 20 game season or whatever could have been salvaged at the deadline. Whatever team that would have ended up winning the cup this year would be subject to a lot of controversy, kind of like the spurs team that won that NBA championship in their stike shortened season. Maybe some good will come out of this. Like some changes to the game to speed things up.

I agree with everything that was said in the above post. The powers at be need to remember who supports that arena and the University. It is the Sioux fans and students. All they are accomplishing by creating a "family" atmosphere is creating a less enthusiastic, less passionate fan. Students turn into alumi and the alumni are the ones that support the programs at UND, no matter what part of the country they currently reside in. Alumi are going to remember their experiences at sporting events at UND. I am a passionate and dedicated Sioux sports fan and I attibute that to the fun that I had at the hockey games. The chants, cheers, loud music, ect...The stuff that is not encouraged at todays games. I wonder if the tradition of a dedicated sioux fan is being passed on? I am not sure that this makes sense to anyone else but me but I think it is a fairly good point.

Engelstad should have donated a few extra bucks so UND could get their audio feeds fixed.......

Looked to me like whe needed ol' Commodore out there to knock some sense into the badgers like he did at the old arena. Remember when he broke that dudes nose??? Good stuff!
