4-2 tonight for da good guys.

I’m in regardless. + bringing 1 additional, significant other.

Positives 1. Finally get an overtime win. 2. Get rewarded for the effort with home ice in the playoffs. 3. We don’t have to worry about Joe Sullivan being at The Ralph next weekend refereeing.

At the end of the day, we still control our own destiny for home ice, playoffs, and NCAA regionals. Win at least 1 game next weekend, we’ll be home for the playoffs. I can’t see Omaha sweeping Duluth on the road. Can’t see CC or WMU sweeping their series, either. That’s the first step in the process. Worry about the rest in a week.

Local places(non chain) that I enjoy. Gronks Bar(beer poured bottom up) TBonz Duluth Grill Uncle Louie’s(get there early or expect to wait, limited seating) Julies Restaurant Mackenzies Breakwater Anchor Bar(bring cash) The Kitchen(only open til 2pm? I believe) I’m not a huge fan of Blackwoods. It’s good, but overpriced in my opinion. Lots more value elsewhere. Tavern on the Hill is a part of the Blackwoods family. Clyde Iron is ok. The interior is pretty cool to look at. Food is ok.

Not that it matters, but Duluth typically starts at 7pm for all its home games regardless of the day, except when tv says so.

You’re right. I should have clarified that the 10.625% includes the sales tax, some sort of tourism tax, a pay for the street lights tax, and finally some sort of bend over and take it tax. And to top it all off, the city voted to raise the sales tax even higher on Tuesday to pay for road repair because they believed that a casino would keep their end of the deal and give them free money each year. The City has to now go sell the state of MN on that they should raise their sales tax accordingly.

Sales tax in Duluth, MN is already at 10.625%

I have a Hobey Baker Ryan Duncan puck. Let me know if you are interested.

Inside-only hockey showcase games. There's plenty of untapped college hockey areas that would be successful. No outdoor games unless it's an exhibition. Too much at stake and too many variables. Don't risk lowering the quality of the game outside when you are trying to grow the overall college hockey game.

FYP again.

The ref looked right at the play and let it go. Ridiculous, you have to call that. It prevented a clear.

No one is ignoring it, I was just making an observation that Brad hadn't tweeted/retweeted anything yet about the letter. He's reported/had an opinion on almost every other negative news regarding the women's hockey team. I was just wondering how he missed the final nail.

I must have missed where Schlossman tweeted the update on women's hockey from the President....

No. It's amazing, sad, and dumbfounding how many quality teams they've had recently + a brand new arena, yet still can't fill their arena on a regular basis. High school hockey is big over here(in Duluth), but it's just a different environment than in Grand Forks. Maybe the arena location, but I think it's more the type of people in this town. 7,000 people packed their arena for a high school game on a week night. But UMD can't get that number on the weekend. Just weird.

I'm ok with this decision from a fiscal standpoint like most everyone on here. But, I'm so sick and tired of reading articles from all over stating how successful the women's program was. Do some research. That's all. From MPR: "One of the most successful programs in the country." Someone from the Athletic Department needs to bring some cold, hard, financial facts to the table and soon. For every positive article, there's probably 50-100 negative articles. I'm still waiting to see a positive article, too. They did the hard part that everyone knew had to be done, but were too scared to do before. The bandaid has been ripped off. Now is the easy part to put facts out to justify everything. Communicate.

So much for that 1 year lease he signed on his apartment.....

Become familiar with the term "hot goaltender" and how/when to use it properly.

Pionk is undrafted. With his skill set, he'll get a lot of looks in the offseason to sign. Wouldn't surprise me if he left when the money is there.

I haven't re-watched the game, but was Poganski even in the crease? From what I saw, he didn't go in the blue and Miska bumped him. But I might have missed something earlier.

Anyone know former player Jared Enger? Ran into him and met him Saturday night, he was quite the character.

I've been there all the years, never been bothered by an usher yet. On a side note, they're redoing all of the coolant piping underneath the concrete this summer, so hopefully that will improve the ice conditions.

I just find it hard to believe the league/NCAA wouldn't look at that Pionk bulldozer play. You can't come up with a valid reason he did what he did. If they call that play correctly(5+game), I don't think that game gets out of hand like it did. And to not give Toninato at least a 10 minute misconduct for his temper tantrums is ridiculous.
