Much as it hurts to be the one to say this, we need to discuss proper punishment for farce's deceit.

IMO, Berry has done a superb job with this group so far this year.

no dramamine necessary then?

A classmate of mine froze a badger flattened out in spread eagle position and duck taped it to his back under his winter parka. Got in but got caught throwing it.

Having lived and worked in Wisconsin for over 30 years, I can tell you Wisconsin fans LOVE to have fun and party--in any sport. We moved to WI in 84 after having lived in warmer places for a number of years, and the minute WI hockey fans learned I was a Nodak and a hockey fan, they would go on about how much fun the rivalry was, and they almost always showed respect for the Sioux program. Intense, but in a fun way, which seems to be the way most Wiscovites enjoy their sports, which is partly why their hockey program's struggles in recent years and the sharp decline in attendance have been a shame.

We need cut gf a little slack; he just wants to be accepted as a knowledgeable hockey guy. He may have never said a single substantive thing about the game itself, but he keeps a close eye on the scoreboard and the banner counts. That’s why he wins the Miss Wouldacouldashoulda award year after year.

And there's always a chance we sweep.

Faceoffs at critical times, especially PP or PK.

I'm guessing the vast majority of PSU fans are thinking Ohio State this weekend.

They must be even smaller than gopher players

Irony is WAY beyond you, gf.

nchc feed working for you guys?

Seconded

3 of top 9 played at UMich last year?

People have already noted what a natural destination Seattle would be for Oshie.

After heavy loses from last year's team, this is shaping up to be a nice roster. It will be interesting to see how the development and chemistry aspects go.

In a best of 7 or 5 series, I'm sure they would have won a title, just as Mich would likely have won the one we got in '97. But in a one-and-done tournament, all bets are off. Bounces and deflections. Denver could have won that semi game in '16. That's why I'm sure I'm in the minority in how I value team accomplishments. Banners are great, and the coaches and boys work toward that goall all year. But I'd rather watch great team winning hockey games weekend after weekend with no banner at the end than see a "good" team put it all together at the end and win the banner. I guess I just don't get that much long-term pleasure from the bragging rights that go along with the title. But again, it's all about the players and staff, and it's a very important goal to them, as it should be. I miss Sparky.

Air force parka and what I think they called "bunny boots." Dropped the bunny boots when I became a college student, but the air force parka had great booze smuggling capacities.

A guy who has been quietly putting up great numbers for a dozen years: Brock Nelson.

I realize you need the basic material to mold a great goaltender, but with Karl I think UND's situation is a little like UW's during the Howie years. He can develop goalies beyond what might have been expected of them.

I'm surprised you know of such things.

I am excited about Sanderson this year too, but we should probably be a little cautious with what we expect from him. He's the best D talent we've seen at UND for a while, and we've seen a lot, but that was a hill of a roster he played with last year, and his defensive and responsibilities will probably be a little more to handle this year.

Smells were a unique and important part of the charm of wood rinks, especially cold air wood rinks, which all of them were or had been.

I only hope Wilbur does not feel slighted by your post, Sic. He's always a beer away if we need him.

Do you remember fog on the ice?
