Yep, I'd put them in the same class as the Calder, Henderson, Ulmer line, the best "checking" line in UND history in my book. I loved seeing Calder trash talking Goldie the mascot before overtime at the Final Five. RIP.

Fargo - (8) PW teams - 1 AA - top 12.5% of players WF - (7) PW teams - 1 AA - Top 14% players Bismarck - (7) PW teams - 1AA - Top 14% of players GF - (7) PW teams - 2AA - Top 28.5 of players It is successful because GF is allowing more kids to play with the highest level of competition. They could have one team and would probably win the league. I'd say the current system is better for the player's development.

Should have been a no call all around. Defender hipped the attacking player into the goalie. Goalie was sticking out the pad to make a save.

The only other one since Patrick I think came close as far as controlling the game was Roche. Sanderson definitely has the same flow to his game as Patrick.

I've never reffed, but have served as a goal judge many times. I was shocked at how difficult it can be to 100% determine if a shot when in. With the goalie, the glass, the net, and the constant movement it's not easy. Winger coming down the left wing, hard shot to the far corner that may or may not have caught the top corner while the goalie is sliding across, throwing out the glove/blocker, d-man screening... Often times you can't see the puck leaving the stick to track it.

It would also help if the team/parents stood up to and didn't tolerate the behavior being discussed. From my experience, when it's one of your own that's the problem, it's fairly unusual for the wrong-doer to be put in his place by the other parents. A little more self policing would be nice.

You only need 4-5 solid kids per year to field a competitive team. I’d be curious how Jamestown would do this year if they had the kid that jumped ship. They’d have definitely won the West this year.

Any word on Sandy’s post HS options? His stats are crazy. 96.7 save percentage.

Jon Casey

It’s pretty average.

Goalies Matter

Do they just have that bottle in GF? I grabbed a bottle in Bismarck and I don't believe this was one of the options.

The NCHC (same as CHN) website standings are different than both USCHO and SS.com as well.

The standing on USCHO.com and SS.com and different due to the points awarded in OT and shootout games. Which is correct?

I was also impressed by Kleven, and floored by Gaber. The first strides I saw Sanderson take reminded me of Toews' first shift. So smooth and effortless.

Maybe he'll pull a Homelander from "The Boys" at the podium while muttering "I can do whatever the f.. I want" over and over.

Exactly. They don't care who wins, they just want the division. Unfortunately our media is doing a far better job than they ever could, and the populous is too stupid to realize it.

It's essentially the same argument/issue as whether the Governor, health departments, Courts... have the authority to limit or shut down business/stop evictions... due to Covid. Some courts say that it is an appropriate power, others that it isn't.

The law of PA appears to be very clear that the ballots need to be received by 8:00 on the day of the election. Whether that is the best way to handle it is a completely separate question. Another Alito quote: “It would be highly desirable to issue a ruling on the constitutionality of the State Supreme Court’s decision before the election,” he wrote. “That question has national importance, and there is a strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the federal Constitution.”

Thanks. Looks like he Supremes punted and indicate they will need to address this issue again. The issue will be interesting in relation to the Covid restrictions implemented across the country and civil suits brought concerning them. This is a quote from Alito: The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has issued a decree that squarely alters an important statutory provision enacted by the Pennsylvania legislature pursuant to its authority under the Constitution of the United States to make rules governing the conduct of elections for federal office,” It will be pretty interesting if this matters, and the court with Trump appointees has to make the call.

I was trying to read the Penn. statute on my phone. It looks like the ballots need to be received by 8:00 pm on the day of the election to be counted. https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/Legis/LI/uconsCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&yr=2020&sessInd=0&smthLwInd=0&act=12 Sounds like another situation where what was told to folks, and what the law may be, are quite different.

True. Ideally there would be a uniform mandate on this issue so there is some continuity among the states, but it appears this is a state issue. Without looking it up, I'd guess the absentee votes from the 1970-199s were a very small amount. With the unprecedented volume of absentee ballots this year it's not surprising there are issues, and that the States were unable to get legislation in place to address the issues.

BIden now only -330 in Arizona and -400 in Nevada, but up to -165 in Pennsylvania.

Current State Odds: Arizona - Biden -1600 Georgia - Trump -150 Michigan - Biden -800 Nevada - Biden -650 N.C. - Trump -550 Penn - Biden -145 Wis - Biden -1200

Unfortunately, it does for too many folks...
