Did anyone else hear the amount of money the winner of the 50-50 raffle won last night during the Canada-Czech game? It was $84,000. As long as it's not pesos, that guy made quite the haul. I can't imagine that much money was raised in one night though.

What do you want Jones to do? He can't fire or replace the player's as the season goes on. The coaches can preach until they are blue in the face to the players.

This team is one that rebounded to beat SDSU at home pretty handily after getting pumped on the road. That same SDSU team went out to U. of Washington and beat a Pac-12 team by 20 on their home floor. This team needs to get rid of its Jekyl and Hyde mentality and bring it every night.

Some new information regarding the conference schedule and commissioner: http://www.uscho.com/2011/12/07/nchc-expecting-to-hire-commissioner-before-end-of-year-24-game-schedule-eyed/

Duluth has currently swept the #9, 10, and 12th teams(all at home) in this league and taken 3 points from a Denver team that has been all over the map(beat BC, 1 point vs. Michigan Tech). They have looked extremely good at times that I watched them, but am not sure if it's the competition, home ice(10 of 14 games have been at Amsoil), or if they really are a top 5 team in the country. So, they've managed to do what they're supposed to do for the most part: Sweep at home(minus MN), Split on the road(3 pts. vs Denver).

Not only 0-6 on the PP, but they had 9 minutes of PP time in the first 12-13 minutes of the 3rd period alone.

Can anyone explain to me why they waved off the icing call on BSU when we had Dell pulled? From where we were sitting in the stands, the guy was on the wrong side of the red line when he shot it and the puck bounced off the outside of the net/post and into the corner. The linesman didn't call off the icing until after it bounced off the outside of the net and into the corner. Eades/Jackson were blowing gasket after gasket at the non-call.

Anyone going to the games this weekend? I know Cratter, Dakotadan, and myself will be there on Sunday. There appear to be a done of tickets available for the Sunday game as well.

That's an easy answer: You're a Gopher Fan. We can selectively pick which houses to make the picture better/worse for.

Did you read the whole article? "During the initial sweep of the house, officers saw multiple pieces of drug paraphernalia in plain view. They confiscated half an ounce of marijuana, several pipes, baggies, a marijuana grinder and a digital scale in Miller’s room. Miller was read his Miranda rights and agreed to an interview, during which he told police that he sold marijuana and where they could find drugs and paraphernalia in his room, police documents say." Here's how I read it. They found 1/2 an ounce in plain view, arrested the kid, who in turn agreed to be interviewed. During that interview, he tells them where to find more drugs and paraphernalia in his room. How many ounces have to be found/confiscated to make the search warrant worth it?

"God's team" must have done more praying after losing last night huh? Maybe, just maybe, that extra praying that "God's team" did paid off when they got that joke of a 5 minute PP to end the 2nd period. Besides, who knew being religious is a bad thing? Never figured out why people have to mock others who are religious.

I don't remember a lot of "I can't believe they called that" types of penalties this weekend.

Was that the Gopher's captain speaking or John Hill with the cameo quote?

Fixed your post. Take your own advice too. He was obviously joking.

I never said we weren't down this year. I said comparing Omaha and UND was a dumb comparison and not easy to do. I was pointing out how crazy the league results have been this year so far.

Were the Sioux playing in Madison last night with a different coach? If so, who was playing at The Ralph? Did you watch the Omaha-Wisconsin game last night? I did. It was a different coach and a different team playing in Madison last night. THey won a game by going 4-for-6 on the PP. We went 0-fer in ours. There's one difference. Watching the game, the Omaha goalie looked lost out there for the first 10 minutes and in turn gave up 3 goals. Obviously, he settled down. So far, Tech has beaten Denver and Wisconsin. Bemidji beat Tech. Duluth beat Bemidji. Minnesota beat Duluth. Wisconsin beat us. Omaha beat Wisconsin and Alaska. Alaska beat Omaha. What's it all mean? I haven't a slightest clue yet. We're 3 games into the conference schedule.

Besides going to Canada, he doesn't have many other options. Even at that, he's 1/2 way through his first semester of college. Not worth leaving at this point. And since he's not technically on the team, he must be paying his own way somehow. I'd say this: Figure out this transcript debacle, pad his college GPA, work his tail off in the weight room, and come out guns blazing next year. Hopefully, this situation will make him better in the end.

Last time I saw them was in section 301 or 316 I think.

Simple Solution: Don't let the other team score. Problem Solved.

Which makes him playing in the BC game all the more alarming. What was he doing out there if he wasn't 100%? I know it's BC, but it wasn't a must-win game by any means. I wonder if by playing in that game he had any additional set backs?

You've been a fan of the team for 2 decades? Congrats. How come, then, do you sell so many tickets on the forum for over face value to other Sioux fans? Yep, you're a true fan alright. I know the answer. You're one of those fans. Every team has them. The experts, who bitch and complain on a message board or anywhere else for that matter when the team is not perfect. I'm ecstatic that you sell your tickets to people that truly want to go to the game.

Where did you get the quote from UND's SID?

This is what Schlossman said regarding the play that led to Wisconsin's 3rd goal: The UND bench wanted a too many on ice call. After a lengthy discussion, the referees allowed the goal.

"UND spokesman Peter Johnson said President Robert Kelley recently decided to take the focus off Delano as a way of highlighting other students and fans at home games . But he said the main reason is to not feed into the reputation the university has gained from recent national rankings as a school with a high rate of student drinking." Does anyone that watches the games on TV know if they show this lady on the TV? I only remember seeing her on the in-house screens. If so, how is anyone that is watching our games on national TV being turned off by our rankings in some silly survey. The people at the games already know what goes on on campus for the most part. It's not like we're opening their eyes to something new here. IMO the only reason we are ranked so high in this survey is because midwestern people are more honest on the anonymous polls than other places in the country. I remember filling out this survey and almost being proud that I was so effecient in drinking to pull off the grades I received.
