Redwings are up 3-1 at the end of one

Toews Living Charmed Life

Toews is also playing for Canada

Flyers are up two to zero on Montreal after one Colorado and Detroit are tied at one halfway through the first EDIT: Detroit scores to take a 2-1 lead with 6:00 left in the 1st

Couldn't you also run a banner along the fence where people stand above the endzones?

Something random I thought of while being cold walking to class.... last season they had a soup lady over by the Olympic rink and she had hot apple cider... that was good! I'd like to see someone else offer hot apple cider since she is gone. But I do like the rotating (by season) option that is served there.

So I know that a ton of us can think of ways to better The Ralph "experience" so I thought it would be cool to start a thread where we can suggest some of them. There's the obvious (yet controversial) things such as letting the students stand, etc... but I wanted to see if anyone else had any cool ideas. So feel free to share them!!! Personally, the thing I'd most like to see is a change in the National Anthem.... There is nothing wrong with the way that it is currently done... it could just be SO much better! Like half the team, all the coaches, and a number of students are Canadian.... why not play O Canada at every home game as well? It would be something that would make us different than all the other schools, and I'm sure it would mean a lot to the Canadians. I'd also like to see the fans get involved and sing along! Hearing the fans sing the anthem sends chills down my spine, I just love it, and think it'd be a great way to start the game. Examples: O Canada - Edmonton Oilers version Star Spangled Banner - Anaheim Ducks version

Here is some more of the Skills Challenge footage: Skills Challenge

I was at the Skills Challenge and this goal was one of the best parts of the night... just thought that I would share it with everyone else. I thought that overall the St Louis skills challenge was more fun than the one in Denver, but that has more to do with there seeming to be more ESPN commercials breaks in Denver. Ehn Shootout Goal

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that... haha! But watching playoff hockey (because it's really the only time I seriously watch non-Sioux NHL hockey) makes me wish that we could sing the anthem at the Ralph as a crowd... that is AWESOME! I haven't heard a great Star Spangled Banner yet... but man... those Canadians sure know how to sing O Canada like they mean it

I believe that Fan Fest in December was meant to replace the fall and spring autograph sessions. We may not like it, but it's probably easier for the team seeing as finals are coming up.

Yeah Sioux Sioux!!!

If Brett Hextall is half the fighter and half as entertaining as his father Ron Hextall I'm gonna LOVE him!!! Ron Hextall

Does anyone else really like the VS. commercials for the playoffs? I do! Siren Promo My favorite one is with the spinning goal light and the voice says: "I am victory. I am defeat. I am victory. I am defeat." LOL

I hear that Stroup may have gotten in some trouble and I doubt that he will be at the green/white scrimmage tomorrow....

They're certainly trying for you!!! Devils down 3-4 at the end of two...

Not a very optimistic article about the Peoria Rivermen (St Louis Blues) however, props to Chris Porter: Rivermen Have Questions, Few Answers

I found this on the Oiler's message board in regards to Chorney's injury Chorney Injury Update

updated! Thanks for all the research!!! Hopefully we can get another series/game.... I'd prefer to not have the last week off, but I guess we aren't having a WCHA game (maybe WI). Oct can't come soon enough

I was thinking... depending upon where I end up after graduation that I wanted to go to either Mankato or Tech, but since those two dates are so far apart, perhaps I could just go to both of them. Assuming the FAA hasn't called me up yet...

Might as well post the pieced together schedule here too: (road trips in bold... cuz that's what this thread is about) University of Manitoba - Exhibition Oct 10/11/12 Ice Breaker Tourney - Michigan State, BU, UND, and a UMass school Oct 17/18 @ Mankato Oct 24/25 Oct 31/Nov 1 - home against Wisconsin Nov 7/8 Nov 14/15 Nov 21/22 @ Duluth Nov 28/29 - home against Cornell Dec 5/6 - @ Harvard Dec 12/13 - home against St Cloud Dec 19/20 - I would guess off for break Dec 27/28 - Michigan State/ winner of Michigan/Michigan Tech (GLI in Detroit) Jan 2/3 - @ Bemidji/home against Bemidji Jan 9/10 - home against Minnesota Jan 16/17 - @ Michigan Tech Jan 23/24 Jan 30/31 @ St Cloud Feb 6/7 Feb 13/14 - home against Mankato Feb 20/21 Feb 27/28 - home against Colorado College (could be a Sat/Sun series due to high school state tourney) Mar 6/7 Mar 13/14 - WCHA Playoffs Mar 20/21 - WCHA Final Five Mar 27/28 - NCAA Regionals Apr 9-11 - NCAA Frozen Four in Washington D.C.

Thanks! Updated again

I updated the schedule to include those.... I know it's been previously mentioned, but I can't seem to find it (I didn't look too hard)... who are the other teams in the Ice Breaker... BC, BU... ?
