No question, walleye fishing on Devils Lake

Stafford from Toews and Kessel

I think there are a lot of NHL players that hope to be playing for the Gophers someday....

tidbit on Irmen from the trib: The Wild is continuing talks with Minnesota Gophers forward Danny Irmen, and a contract could be announced this week. With the possibility that Randy Robitaille's strained right knee could keep him out for the rest of the regular season, Irmen could make his NHL debut in a Wild sweater before the April 15 deadline.

Kessel is deserving. Playing an entire year against D1 opponents before becoming a freshmen at the UofM really helped him adjust to the WCHA. Had he played against Class A high school opponents, I suspect it wouldn't have been as special for him but he probably would have scored more goals.

You'd think someone with accelerated schooling would have the brains to set the bar a bit higher where their dreams are concerned...

there may have been at least one lower body injury....

How can the winner be anyone else but John Hill. He went from a last place team to a first place team. Upgraded geographically, got more money, all with less responsibility and accountability. He wins!

Yep, Mariucci of the West, home of "Mercyhurst of the West"!

this week, my work is being done by an illegal immigrant because its a job I don't want to do and he does.

Lucia....please. He should have been removed from the list after blowing whatever chance he had in GF last weekend. "I think it would be good for college hockey if he lost".

the site was ordered to be imploded by the Engelstad Trust

Yes, thank you. It has been rumored you will turn pro prior to the draft, can you comment on this?

They're still rated pretty high in the pairwise

Mafia Man is Phil Kessel!

remember, he still has Tyler Hirsch to look forward to next year.

D) Becomes an assistant to the high school hockey equipment manager at Fargo North

I just heard Reggie Dunlop has been offered a coaching job with the North Stars after winning the Federal League title.

You are correct. I had to watch because I made the same claim to a Gopher buddy of mine and he claimed Ryan scored from all over the place against St. Cloud (which he did not).

I agree his overall game has improved but it's still a rather fair assessment. Thanks to FSN we've all gotten to see this truth exhibited over and over except when Mn goes to AA. You'd really be convinced if those games were on TV!

Voters probably felt Potulny needed to spend more time working in other areas of the rink and not just the left circle waiting for a pass. He was completely neutralized when HC shut down that passing lane.

I won't believe any of this until Kessel holds a press conference to confirm it.

I just wonder about funding for repairs when the facility begins to show age. A couple of the seats I had for the regional were coming apart and in dire need of repair. I suspect it will be rather expensive to replace leather seats (too bad PETA). Hope the seating over time doesn't regress to what they have at the Moorhead Sports Center! By the way, the only implosion at the Ralph was the gophers (sorry again PETA)

anyone know where the team is staying for sure?
