  1. Happy Canada Day indeed! I'm happy that Chicago got Brian Campbell back for just $2 million. And happy the Wild got some help upfront with Staal and Stewart.
  2. Land of 10,000 Excuses. My first visit was 1979. I had never been called a Communist before, and certainly not as many more colorful adjectives. Thankfully my posse included a couple guys who could serve as bona fide bodyguards. So it was just talk. The best part was winning the WCHA title on Saturday night - punctuated by Dave Christian's slapshot empty-netter - breaking a 12 year drought.
  3. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/stats/ UND: 21.8 (according to that particular website).
  4. Would you settle for a career like David Backes?
  5. A bargain at that. I think he's a potential Selke award winner.
  6. The influence of Lou Lamiorello ...
  7. His family seems like the kind of people that will fit right into the UND hockey family. https://www.nhl.com/news/family-is-overwhelmed-as-tyson-jost-gets-drafted-at-no-10/c-281050278?tid=277764372
  8. No Badger first-rounders since 2008. Then Wisconsin changes coaches and has two. Hmmm.
  9. Now UMD bags their 3rd-ever first rounder. (Riley Tufte, Mr Hockey MN this year.) Pretty good night for the NCHC. Assuming, that is, that the clubs that picked guys give them time to develop in college.
  10. As long as its draft night, a nice historical view: http://collegehockeyinc.com/pages/first-round-nhl-draft-picks Most surprising to me is that DU has only 3 first round draft picks. I'd have expected a lot more. Second most surprising is that SCSU has none. But that might change tonight.
  11. Colorado picks Tyson Jost. Interesting ...
  12. If NHL doesn't move to Phoenix a generation ago, there's probably no way Auston Mathews decides to play hockey. Ironic that he ends up going to an original six franchise in Toronto. Another nice boost for USA Hockey - #1 overall pick.
  13. Good, thoughtful analysis. Thanks for forwarding.
  14. woo hoo A USA player wins the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP for the first time. Another step forward for USA Hockey. (Patrick Kane.)
  15. (I agree with tho0505.) Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night shall stay our sports teams from the swift completion of their appointed victories.
  16. Bubba Schweigert is a very good speaker. Kudos.
  17. Nick, Congratulations! Thanks for your hard work while at UND, and best wishes toward getting another title with the Blackhawks.
  18. So I see the Red Pepper got a "makeover". I dunno why you'd mess with perfect. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/business/4052053-red-pepper-gets-facelift
  19. Or, from the wayback machine ... 1981-1982: Jon Casey, Darren Jensen and Pierre Lamoureux battle it out for playing time. Last time I recall three proven elite goaltenders to choose from.
  20. All I can say is I'm glad San Jose won game 5.
  21. Stranger things have happened.
  22. I had to stop at the part where a high school team had Crosby, Stafford, and Duncan on one line. Its like my brain exploded.
  23. Just for the record, guys got Oshie'd in Grand Forks, before St Louis. For example, Nate Prosser:
  24. Nice offseason topic. Bina: when you launch a bouncing puck ... For a goal.
  25. I wonder how many will come over to UND? [ducks]
