farce poobah

Well, that IS sexist!

And the cupcake budget was already spent for the annual Mariucci Classic, which left just a weekend off.

I'm just a little surprised that the Gophers are not playing at TCF Bank Stadium while its set up for hockey with the Wild-Blackhawks game next weekend. I guess Notre Dame couldn't make it, so Lucia just said no.

In 1980, at old Williams (Mariucci) Arena, the Gophers did the same thing ... centering pass that missed everyone. But - it hit the post. Sioux were up 3 at the time so it didn't influence but it was a great moment to be in the stands.

[Sigh.] Yeah. I'd love it if there were a way for the 1960 and 1980 jerseys to be on display at the Ralph.

Thanks for the recap. Sadly, those parts of the history of Hockey Day in Minnesota will simply vanish. It's happened before and will happen again. In the week leading up, they revisited past Hockey Day's. In one year, "the Gophers defeated Denver, and the Wild took on the Dallas Stars", which is code for "the Wild lost" but our fans are so insecure that we can't tell our fans that's what happened. And in the next year, "the Gophers took on Denver" (code for "they lost"), while "the Wild defeated Dallas". So very strikingly insecure and two faced. It used to happen every time the Sioux beat the Gophers ... the evening sports cast would show 3 Gopher goals and 1 Sioux goal but somehow the Sioux still won 4-3. Donde esta de vomitorium?

1000 season tickets gained back = about $400,000 per year... (20 games at $20 each)

If you think that Jarred Tinordi and Stefan Fournier are going to be a big help, then fine. But it looks like the Coyotes got mad because Scott refused to resign his spot and traded him in a hissy fit.

Great to see John Scott get a rousing reception in Nashville at the Skills Competition tonight. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=800390&navid=nhl:topheads And a lump of coal to the Arizona Coyotes. You just traded away a ton of free publicity ... in a market and team that lives in obscurity. You had a chance to build some good will ... and stubbed your toe.

Tip of the cap to the guy behind Cam Johnson with the UND Fighting Sioux flag. Well done.

Another game that Mankato outshoots opponent but loses. They are really close to being a good team. St Cloud, on the other hand, is good. Really good.

After a 10 minute review, it seems dodgy to consider overruling the call on the ice. ....

I am thrilled that UND is part of a league that seeks to align with the NHL. IF they do 3x3, then I think is good that we do 3x3. If they have shootouts, then we should. Whatever best prepares the guys for the next level is fine by me, because it leads to the highest level of competition. Pinochle, whist, strip poker, whatever .... All these signals that recruits pick up on ... are a part of why the NCHC is the premier college hockey conference, and I expect that to continue to improve in the coming years.

I don't suppose he has hosted any UND Fundraisers lately.

I'll take our two games in hand. Its ours to win.

The fact that we are behind does not change my observation that CC is one of the worst fundamental teams I've seen in many years. We just need to get our act together, settle down, and play solid F'n Hawks Hockey.

good here ...

Geez Blais, clean up your fricking divers. Ri dick u less.

Wow what a beautiful passing play, against our best penalty killers.

UMD opens the scoring 1-0 vs SCSU.

Tim's radio interview with Berry was enlightening. ... "it gives him more room to make plays happen"... (and parenthesis less defensive responsibility which the center carries). Liking Gardner's contributions, will be interesting to see them together.

Gino Gasparini.

If I'm 19, that's a great reason to come to UND and a great reason to be patient with game time. My skills are going to be improving either way.
