Yeah, don't know if they just kept selling longer than usual since there were so many people wanting to get in on it.

Sure, I'll let you know which number was yours right after they draw! Seriously, last year they said they couldn't determine the winner right away since there were so many entries, but then when I got to my car they said they already announced the winner.

He isn't the one saying how great Big Ten hockey is. Proof is in the pudding!

Would never bet you because you have proven that you are not a man of your word. By the way, how is that Fargo South dynasty you so foolishly predicted?

Only because I heard it on the news last night about the Bison playing in Cheney?

So the Bison catch them early next year when they are adjusting to new coaches and receivers. Do we know yet when we face them?

Either Tony Granato is planning on getting rid of a bunch of Eaves' recruits, or he is continuing Eaves' recruiting strategy of over recruiting. After two more commits, they are now up to 32 on their list. I hope Berry always leaves a little wiggle room for late bloomers like Poolman and LaDue or high end transfers.

If you look at the photo on StoneySioux's blog, I imagine Boeser saying something like "I'm back baby!" That, beyond the goal itself, created all the smiles. In George Costanza fashion, Wolanin probably responded "You're using my baby's now?"

Ohio State and Bemidji State were actually the other teams in that tournament.

Red River won 4-1.

You cannot make this statement with any credibility and be a fan of Minnesota gopher hockey... Period!

I read it that this is just the beginning for this kid, and wait until you get him North Dakota, but I like your interpretation better.

Denver also owns the tiebreaker against us.

If I were a parent, Bubba's down home personality would impress me more than the snake oil salesman approach of Fleck. I realize that might be irrelevant in most circumstances when competing with the higher level, but I think Bubba will get his fair share of players with his approach. Nevermind him finding guys like Santiago that nobody wanted.

U.S. under 18 National team leading Maine 4-1. Grant Mismash with a goal in that game.

WDAZ extra channel announced last night that they will have on Saturday's game.

Exactly.

So programs that are on the upswing and have potential for a National title would be recruiting players behind the scenes to join them because that will really put them over the top. The player wouldn't have to wait, so no problem going for a National Championship right away.

... and also a chance to totally lose a high end draft pick like Vesey by staying and going the free agent route. I think more teams are concerned about this possibility.

Parise used to do those ads, and UND was prominent in those, so I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

Poganski sure had a great game. Hopefully these guys keep stepping it up in the second half and we can have consistent secondary scoring.

Don't the Bison return 9 of 11 on defense with DeLuca coming back? They may have a chip on their shoulder as well.

But it took 2 late goals by a Central team many have said would go undefeated to beat Bismarck. Maybe the game the night before was an outlier for BHS, or maybe the Central game was, we'll see.

I wouldn't base season projections on one or two games. Things can change fast, especially with those teams that have a bunch of new players working themselves into high school hockey.

Time for the new version of the "Heavy Line" to shut down Vecchione and Foo and score a bit themselves. Both Gardner and Poganski have a lot more to give. Obviously it's anyone's guess who will be together since Poganski moved to Jost's line earlier, but now that Jost and Boeser are both out they might get thrown together again.
