World under 18's is going to have to suffice for a short-term fix. At least you can see Jost.

Does Nick Schmaltz's comment in today's paper that "we went out on top as National Champions" refer to this season, or his career?

Both teams were in the Frozen Four in St. Paul in 2011. Notre Dame wasn't represented very well, especially when compared to North Dakota.

... but not for hockey.

Has Jackson Keane been injured or traded? Haven't seen him in the lineup for Sioux City for quite some time.

Exact same thoughts I had when I didn't see it on the list.

http://www.targetcenterrenovation.org/ The final approval for upgrades has come and here is the timeline for renovations. Looks like a huge high definition scoreboard is first.

I would change 5 minute majors to a two minute penalty for Checking from behind or whatever the offense, and a two minute penalty for reckless play, both to be served concurrently. I think that would be more likely to change behavior and cause coaches to drill it into their players to watch out for player safety. Let's face it, how many times have teams had a five minute major work out to the benefit of the offending team by gaining momentum from killing it off. Would like to know the percentages of teams taking advantage of 5 minute majors. I think if you are facing a 5 on 3 disadvantage for two minutes, you probably will be less likely to come away unscathed.

http://www.saskatoonblades.com/video/58196 Tempers my enthusiasm a bit, but could have just seen the advantages of the college game. Obviously if he gets to Penticton, that would show he wants the college route, but then again, so did Tambellini.

Heisenberg has Tychonick from Calgary committed to UND. Sounds like a good get. His Twitter confirms it. Jonny hockey!

Each team is allotted so many seats, so if they turn them back in, you can probably get them that way. If they don't turn them in, then those are the people you approach.

I would say approach fans of the loser of the first game with compassion and see if they plan on sticking around for the other games. You might get some cheap tickets. Look for the really depressed ones, and you might get them cheaper with a little empathy, considering our plight the last few years.

Noticed he responded to a congratulatory tweet from Colin Schmidt with "your turn".

You seriously believe he tried to hit Drake? I'm sure every ref is out to get UND.

The Sioux winning a Natty would be good!

How many days is that for?

Just goes to show that everybody that has a theory on who is going to leave is pure conjecture because for the most part we have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.

No doubt it's time! Hermantown finally got it done this year. It's our turn now.

Win it to keep alive the legacy you deserve for this great season.

That's my point. A goaltender people perceive as terrible has good and great games on occasion or else he wouldn't be playing.

Have we had terrible goaltenders for 15 years?

Keep in mind that teams that UND has lost to are ones that had a great top line that lit the lamp. Hopefully Cam and Wolanin can help put their home state team away.

If they got enough, they could do two divisions, and we could be in the "Legends" division!

Maybe Minnesota could get rid of Lucia and get a major rival again all by making that move. Maybe Lucia was so focused on getting Notre Dame in the Big Ten and fund raising for them that he didn't focus enough on getting his team to the Dance. Either that, or he mailed it in so he could watch his kid in the Big Dance for his Senior season.
