Exactly..........you could give her a map, narrow her search to SD and ND and tell her to find the SR res and she couldn't do it within 15 minutes.

You better hurry up and log in to Gopher Puck Live. They are up 1-0 and feeling pretty good about themselves. They need someone to stir the pot.

Is it now a thing to start looking at the PWR before Thanksgiving? Lol.
It is if you want to get a sense of how it works. When the movements are a bit larger it becomes easier to understand the nuances (that is my big word of the day).
In the last half of the season the day to day movements tend to be small and thus more difficult to grasp. Besides, it is just fun.

Absolutely great game by the guys. Back up to #4 in the pairwise.

Copied this over from the other thread for those traveling to the game.
Just did an I-94 check for those traveling to the hockey games. Conditions are not good in the Fergus Falls area. I drove a 4 mile stretch of I-94. The driving lanes are 100% covered with snow on top of ice and frozen slush. It didn't appear that state plows had been out at all. Visibility varies from about 300-400 feet down to where I could not see if there was any visibility. The radar on Intellicast shows the current snow is falling all of the way to St. Cloud. Driving speed is in the 30-40 mph range. There is a little passing going on but it looks like the passing lane has little to no traffic at all. I was in a pickup in 4 wheel drive and it got skittish on me a couple of times, but nothing terrible. Part of it is the roughness of the frozen slush underneath the snow. The secondary roads in the area are worse, both for road conditions and visibility. Be safe. If you are a skilled winter driver you should be okay if you take plenty of time. If you are not, I would stay home.

This was a tough game to watch. While the score was close, the game was not. DU carried the puck into the zone, wave after wave, two or three guys in a rush. They created open opportunities. UND could not carry the puck into the zone at all. It was dump and chase, and then lose the puck battle. While the score was close, the chasm between DU's play and UND's play was very wide. This UND team needs to figure it out soon or it will be a very long season. There just does not seem to be any chemistry on the lines.

He's been great, but I don't think it is fair to imply that most of the players do not have a lot of drive.
I maybe worded that wrong. Some players have not been playing 100% at all times. Cole Smith has been noticeable in every game he has played for his effort. Obviously there are others with more skill, but I don't know that I have seen anyone put out more effort that he does.

Cole Smith - Solid game. Give credit where credit is due
Cole Smith has shown in every game he has played that he has a motor that just does not quit. He is an intense battler along the boards. He has shown that he can score. If everyone on the team had the drive that he has this team would be assume at this point.

I expect DU to sweep this weekend, but for UND to play well. DU is highly skilled and will challenge UMD for the NCHC title. This weekend will be the turning point for the team. I expect improved results beginning next weekend against St. Cloud. Unfortunately, that is the way that I see it. I could need new glasses though.

Oh we didn't see shoddy workmanship at all. Perhaps they weren't quite finished with everything when UND was there. Sight lines were fantastic and you wouldn't know it seated 7,800 people as the ceiling was nice and low, giving it a very "cozy" feel. Loud too. Fans were awesome in defeat and victory. Free parking for fans too! How often do you see that?!?! And finally, lots of bars and restaurants within short walking distance across the street from the arena.
The local bars and restaurants with the free parking were great. We were in the neighborhood both nights before the game. You may be right in that maybe they weren't done with all of the construction. We will see this year. It was a good experience, but I wouldn't call it one of the better arenas in the league. I like UMD's Amsoil and Miami's arenas better. But it is preferable to the St. Cloud Concrete Center and Western Michigan's arena.

We went to the CC/Omaha game tonight and we were very impressed with Baxter Arena. Nice facility, great sight lines, loud, open air concourse similar to Amsoil Arena. And best of all, CC won!
We weren't all that impressed. Very cheap construction in some areas of the concourse. Lots of plain sheetrock that is going to look shabby in just a couple of years, unless that was just temporary and they have replaced it with something else. No restrooms on the upper level.

And another article posted on Facebook.
Nathan MarshallI must state up front ... I am a strong proponent of any Americans rights against big corporations and the government not to mention Native American rights. Too often throughout history America’s early inhabitants have been treated grossly unfairly ... and worse.
My initial reaction to hearing about the Standing Rock/Dakota Access Pipeline protest was to support them. But then, as I always try to do I started researching - trying to verify the truth - separate fact from fiction. And as I researched I become more and more disappointed by what I learned. Jesse Jackson's visit to Cannonball last week really sparked my interest. Mainly because being from the Chicago area I know how he and his cronies operate. Remember the demonstrations he sparked in Decatur, IL in 1999? They paid and bussed protesters who didn't have a dog in the fight downstate from Chicago.
So I still have friends on my page liking and sharing these anti-pipeline articles and memes. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is not about opinions, it's about facts. The facts are; the Dakota access pipeline DOES NOT cross the Standing Rock reservation, it DOES have all the necessary permits and approvals, and it is NOT disturbing any burial grounds This information is easily accessible online with a quick Google search, but I'll include a map anyway, in case you don't have time to research the lies you're sharing. And there are links showing they have the permits, and that top archeologists surveyed these sites and found nothing.
And before you start in about possible water contamination, that's just another scare tactic. The Missouri river will be directionally drilled and the pipeline will have the latest technologies and monitoring systems to help prevent releases and will be constructed 90 feet below the riverbed to ensure nothing may reach the river — far above and beyond what’s required by federal regulations.
Don't be fooled, the battle right now may be against this pipeline, but the war is on oil. I know some of you hate oil (even though you consume as much as the rest of us on a daily basis) but there simply is not enough renewable energy to meet the current demand, so this oil WILL be brought to market one way or another, and the safest way is via pipeline. They have a smaller carbon footprint and are 4.5 times less likely to cause a spill than trains. It's an easy choice. So don't tell me you're against pipelines because you care about the environment, because the two ideas are contradictory.
The claims there are historic, cultural and burial sites being bulldozed in direct disregard to the tribes claims are simply false. Much of the route is within existing “Southwest Pipeline” and “Northern Border” pipeline right of way - on land that was excavated long ago. The Dakota pipeline follows existing right of way in many places for an older pipeline built in same place, and specifically exactly follows the Northern Border pipeline right of way - built in 1982 - in the section leading up to, and the crossing of, the Missouri river.
Then there is the issue at the very HEART of the tribes claims ... the water intake at Fort Yates, just downstream from the pipeline’s crossing of the river (where the pipeline will be buried some 90+ feet below the river). The tribe’s KEY claim is the pipeline threatens what they say is the sole source of water for the reservation - the Fort Yates water intake, which is a few miles downstream from the DAPL river crossing near Cannonball, ND - the site of the protest. It is very hard though for the water intake at the heart of the tribes claims to be threatened if it does not exist.
Which is a fact - and the tribe full well knows it. The water intake at Fort Yates - the one the tribes says is the primary source of the water for the reservation - is to be shut down in the coming months. The tribe has known since 2003 this intake would be replaced. The tribes water utility business received close to $40 million in Federal Government grants, including nearly $30 million in 2009 and since to build the new water intake and new water treatment plant in Mobridge South Dakota - over 70 miles away.Pipeline officials and the US Army Corps of Engineers gave Standing Rock tribal officials numerous chances to provide input in 2014, but tribal officials failed to participate in those opportunities.
With that being said, I will not hold back any longer, if you've got the nerve to post these lies, I will call you out on it, so do your research before you chime in on something that you know nothing about. If you question my research and position then I will gladly share the same links and resources I got these facts from.
Bottom line: it's all about money. See which tribal leaders are benefiting from the protests. Since the pipeline does NOT cross reservation land these same people will not benefit from any right of way monies either.

Boeser needs to learn to focus. UMD players really got into his head last night. When the faceoff was by the blue line in front of the UMD bench, they were really giving it to him and he was turning around talking back instead of focusing on the faceoff. He evidently hasn't learned he is the target this year without Cagguila and Schmaltz to distract the attention.
As a team UND is not passing well, is not catching the puck well,....It is going to be a tough road here for a stretch until they manage to figure things out. UND had a young team last near, and they must be much younger this year with mostly freshmen and sophomores.

Are there different price levels at Amsoil? Or where'd you buy yours?
I got mine direct from the Amsoil ticket site, online, within 10 minutes of tickets going on sale. These are upper deck, center ice. We prefer to be able to see the whole sheet.

My total bill for two tickets for both nights was $168.85 including all fees.

It is truly unfortunate, but this chronology of dealing with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe describes exactly the process that I have experienced in dealing with a tribe.

Im disappointed, I trolled GPL this morning on the UofM/SCSU page, hoping and expecting to see some witty comments from MafiaMan and found nothing! What's up, MafiaMan, are you just not wanting to "poke the bear" prior to our series down there in Minneapolis???
He's mellowing a bit. Besides, he likes a bit more challenge than what is on GPL late last night and today. I am an SCSU fan (excuse me while I swallow some puke) for tonight. MSU handled SCSU last weekend, and if SCSU can win tonight, the Gopher pride may not recover this season.
