A alternative option to the webcast is to consider investing in a Slingbox. There are some stipulations before it is a viable option. Namely, you need to place the Slingbox in someone's home who gets Midcontinent cable. In my case, it's my parents' house(I'm a DirecTV subscriber). Secondly, you need to make sure they have a high enough internet upload rate so that the HD channel quality won't get degraded. Recommended would be an upload/download speed of 1.5 Mbps or higher. You'd also have to be sure to connect the Slingbox to a DVR or HD Receiver that isn't frequently used otherwise you'd be battling for control of said device. Otherwise, could place a dedicated DVR/HD Receiver in their house and simply pay an annual(or monthly) fee for the receiver lease. Set-up is really simple as well. Either way, I've been using a Slingbox for over a year now and I get the HD channels in crystal clear quality. The initial investment is a bit steep but I think in the long run is worth it.

Their decision to draft Stefan Matteau at #29 last year is looking even more worse for the Devils. They should've forfeited their pick that year but stupidly decided to use the pick when now it is very likely the Devil's are going to be forfeiting a higher position 1st round pick. Doh!

Will we get the North Dakota Rule where if UND gets to the tournament, we get the evening games? I wouldn't mind that. Most opposing teams hate UND anyways. No big deal. If Minnesota got something like that to maximize attendance, be foolish of the NCHC didn't put something like that in place for UND.

Link: http://mankatofreepr...Minnesota-State I guess it isn't as "simple as that." Looks like not everyone wants to be a Gopher. I wonder what the excuse will be now from the likes of Mariucci and Hammy since they can't say OSU put limitations on where he could play. Oh, I know! "Didn't have room for him on the roster so he chose to go elsewhere." Yeah, that's it. Nailed it.

The first regular season of the NCHC hasn't even started yet and the current commissioner leaves for a different job. The conference has been fumbling ever since leaving the starting gate.

UND losing out on Garrett Clarke wasn't a bad thing, losing out on Steffy Matteau wasn't a bad thing either. Talk about an immature brat. He's how old? 18/19?

Looks like ECAC teams want it more. Guess it's just their year. Wow.

I seem to recall other kids saying similar comments yet still reneging. Take what they say with a grain of salt until they actually show up. Also I wonder what Jayson thinks of that kid tweeting at a UND recruit.

Screw firing Hak, the curse of the new arena continues!! Time to return to playing games at the Old REA!!

Union up 5-0 against BC. Just dominating BC.

4-0 Union over BC. End of the second period. Union looks pretty good. Talk about an interesting collection of teams that will possibly be at the frozen four this year if Union prevails.

Thanks seniors. Gonna miss them all. Always tough see guys move on whether it be early or graduating.

I hope Forbort doesn't go. He really stepped up this season. If he stuck around he'd be a huge anchor for us on the blueline. Who will be the incoming freshies? I can already say I think scoring is going to be hard to find...I think a lot of pressure is going to be put on Grimaldi and Mark MacMillan to produce. Hopefully Gothberg gets things going next year though I do tip my hat to Saunders' effort against Yale. Dude is the only reason that kept us in the game.

If only UND could do that. UND continuing to show they can't go all the way to win another title. Once again the clamoring for Hakstol to be fired will be bigger.

Lets go boys!! GO SIOUX!!

UND has lost to that team without athletic scholarships as well keep in mind. Just saying....no bad juju..

UNH scores. 4-2 UNH with 11:11 left in the 3rd.

Nick Shore booted from the game for presumably a contact to the head hit on a UNH player. Shore is arguably Denver's best forward. UNH will get a 5 min PP. 19:10 left in the 3rd period.

UNH scores with 22 secs left in the 2nd period. 3-2 UNH.

UNH and Denver tied. 2-2.. 5:26 left in the 2nd period. I really dislike those Eastern schools...

Phew, so I'm not the only one. It feels disgusting to do so but I dislike UNH. WCHA er NCHC pride? lol

Talk about a down to the wire game. Man, that was a hell of a game. Talk about senior leadership stepping up and willing the team to a win. Lets do it again tomorrow against Yale. Niagara gave us a good game. It's going to be another battle against Yale but if the Sioux keep it in high gear. We can beat them. GO SIOUX!!!

Lets go boys! GO SIOUX!
