Well, I've watched football there in late December and froze my arse off. That's hockey weather, and it would be great.

Did they walk fast? Did they use the body on anyone? Did they walk the whole 60 seconds you saw them, or did they stand around part of the time?

I like the Chicago idea. Good rink options, easy fly-in destination, a lot to do in town, and we've recruited from that area in the past. Maybe fans would get a chance to see three former Sioux playing together for the other Hawks.

I heard he demanded Gino's Pink Floyd Wall album and Gino wouldn't go, but I may have misconstoned over the years.

They had a lot of good looks on the PP, just couldn't put it in.

I'm guessing he's been fired a time or two himself, and that's why he always goes there.

The PP has actually looked pretty good recently, as far as moving the puck and keeping possession. A start anyway.

Those two teams put a lot of talent on the ice between '80 and '84.

He just wants to be loved. Is that so wrong?

Three great gift choices with Badgers: box with a head in it; dead fish wrapped in newspaper; horse head in the bed.

Blais had some pretty disappointing years.

It seems like this team shows very good stick work at times.

Tony was at UND between '71 and '75, so probably brothers.

Which Palmiscino? How related to Tony?

Having lived in Wisconsin for something like 30 years, I can tell you Badger fans have a lot of fond memories of the UW/UND rivalry, including the water bottle fight. It was an intense rivalry with more mutual respect than existed between UND and UMinn or even UMinn and UW. Plus, gopher fans don't seem as ready to have fun as much as Badger fans do, which I think takes the nasty edge off the rivalry. From my perspective, at least. Can't be there this weekend, but I hope the Hawks kick some arse.

Dave K is not a hockey fan. Just a very needy guy. Love and hate are both acceptable for him because they both bring attention, and that explains his bit.

More like worst kept secret.

Half of them to Boston

In real game time, I think a lot of what looks like speed is anticipation and positioning. A sense of where the puck is gonna be. That can make an average player look fast. That's why a team that is out of rhythm is always chasing and a step or two late to the puck. Like geaux says, some players improve clock speed too. Most of the guys at this level have had pretty good strength and conditioning and speed mechanics coaching for quite a few years though. Disclaimer: burd doesn't know shiat.

If you'd agree to deliver the pizza without taking a tip, I'd appreciate it. Just like winning one game, that's a start.

I think most of us expect CC to good this year. It's been coming. I personally loving seeing some of the old programs that have been so good in the past play at a high level again, like CC and Tech.

I think that will be true of a lot of teams Mankato plays this year.

I'm sure you never did anything like that.

Mankato will win their share of games this year. They can skate, and they seem to play hard.

Yup. Stick penalties are usually caused by a foot problem.
