^Thanks.

Can you translate this to English for us old people? Please?

Scary that the team already has to adopt a "playoff time" attitude, but that's what it's come down to.

I heard over the weekend that dozens of potential donors to MSUM's hockey program are just waiting to be told how much to write the check for. I would not be surprised to hear very soon that they've hit their number.

Let's not get too carried away with the "subsidy" concept... The NCAA announced it has reached a 14-year, nearly $11 billion agreement with CBS and Turner Sports for the TV rights to a 68-team tournament

Wouldn't the WCHA and the NCHC tournaments be the same weekend? I assume there will be a first-round at home rinks, but the winners advance to the Final Four or Five or whatever. I can't see both being in Mpls/StPaul the same weekend.

Don't know about that, but I notice my initials are in there

^The pledge is in the amount they've published.

I've heard from some pretty reliable people that Moorhead has a pledge for multi-millions from a local family.

Doc Emrick makes a point of mentioning UND every chance he gets. Gary Thorne is another hockey p-b-p UND fanboy.

Nice to see you pop in, Pat.

I was thinking you were going to go in this direction.

Forgot about Drew. Yeah, an "A" should count also.

I watched the Rangers/Pens game Tuesday, and noticed Sid the Kid is wearing the "C". That means at least three Shattuck-St. Mary's alums are captaining their NHL teams: Crosby, Toews and Parise. Can anyone think of more?

Sorry. I thought I was replying to DaveK. I think copyright infringement has moved beyond the "common criminal" stage now, however. Some serious fines for sharing mp3s... I'd imagine sharing bootleg dvds is similarly frowned-upon.

Did you miss this?

^Blasphemy! Knots Landing rocked!

That's a pretty serious statement, Dave. You ought to be "seeing" someone to help you with these feelings of rage. Pwned!!!!!!

^You are a good egg, Jupiter. I need to stop over at GPL again sometime soon.

I can't think of a team who has more shots blocked than this year's Fighting Sioux squad.

^Sweep.

"Bloodbath"? "Kill"? Sounds to me like someone's taking a game a little too seriously. (And yes, I'm serious.)

^You're kidding, right? You really believe that?

So, Huntsville is Gonesville. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/10/uah_hockey_to_lose_division_i_1.html Sad to see an already small community lose one of its own.
