Jutting is on the last year of a 4 year contract, his record over those 4 years is well under .500. Maybe the pressure to save his job is taking it's toll. This certainly cannot help. Would Blais be interested in taking on a challenge like this, or would this be too large a step back?

Minnesota was playing so passive you almost needed a mirror under the nose to check for breathing. MSUM played on the edge, hence more penalities. Can you have made an arguement for a missed call here or there, sure. But the penalties reflected the style of play of each team. in my opinion.

Good coaches know which referees they can influence and which ones can hold a grudge and how to treat each type. Bad coaches just do what emotions at the moment compell them to do. Confrontation after a game that requires 3rd party intervention generally won't have a positive lasting effect for your team

Do many kids leave the state to play at the Tier One level as bantams or midgets? And if so where do they traditionally go?

Coming from another part of the country that doesn't have high school hockey, but has midget minor and midget major. Which level of pee wee and bantam do the best North Dakota teams play at?

CBS 4 in Boston reported that it is in fact cancer and he is scheduled for surgery. Wish he and his family well.

If it is that important that you see the game, get up, drive, and watch in person. The game isn't in Florida.
