Big A HG

We burned the old ships. Time to build new ones and head off to the next foreign land and burn our new ships immediately upon arrival.

Yes, 15 minutes prior to 9am.

Here's a look at the staging platforms in South SRO area.

I was probably #200 or so in line, way towards the back and not one person complained about being there even though we knew our fate. Don't be so quick to judge.

Clay Matvick is one of the best. Bucci is one of the worst.

It was also a statistical anomaly then that they won 7 as fast as they did. We've won 7 of 20 "Frozen Four" appearances. UND has had a mix of bad luck, bad performances, and just losing to better teams. No matter which option, losing sucks. In the short-term, we are due for a title. In the long-term, however, we have won our fair share.

Possibly Mike Eaves' last game as UW Head Coach tonight?

I love Zane...not a Hobey. I think the glaring stat is 1 shutout. That's not enough. We see all of his performances first-hand, but many of the voters rely on stats. They can't watch every player every game. So, unless your stats are gaudy, you're not going to get looked at. With that said, that doesn't mean the player with the best stats wins. You still need great stats, but opponent difficult and/or rare accomplishments and team success play into. Zane fits into this mold decently, but his overall stats are not there. Also, with the new Richter award this year, it will probably turn into a "Cy Young" type award in baseball where a pitcher rarely wins the league MVP.

For those who haven't seen inside Scheels Arena, I snapped this pic last week Friday.

You guys are making me sad again.

Maybe he meant win the last faceoff in the NCHC. Lord knows we need faceoff wins.

If it's not fruited, he can't drink it. We all know those great tasting Millers are for the guests.

Hakstol seems to commonly bring in a late pick-up in the off-season that comes in right away. I'm sure he's got a player or two in mind that will be on speed dial depending on how the off-season goes.

Our OOC was weak this year, but hard to gauge that years prior to actually playing. All-in-all, Hak has never backed down from playing good opponents, home or away. His trademark definitely isn't scheduling bums from October to January. For all we know, Wisconsin could have been a top 10 team, throw in a top 5 Providence team, and Niagara or LSSU could have been a possible playoff team as well....it just didn't work out that way.

So he picked out a few stats that fed his agenda. Big whoop. This team really hasn't been head and shoulders above everybody...they just find ways to win. This past weekend was our most complete weekend of the year. It's our first time sweeping a decent team in a long time...but in the end, SCSU still leaves the weekend with a losing record, so how great are they really? I like the x-factor or intangibles with this team. But, they aren't a high-flying, light the lamp type team...for better or for worse.

My guess? Ball reduction surgery. It takes a huge pair to step in front of Brodvechkin's shot. The knee/leg is fine.

I'm assuming we are talking about President Kelley..?

How can you read lips if you can't read nameplates?

I agree, it does look like a Wild jersey. However, I promise that was not the intention going into the design. I wish I would do a few things over. Part of the issue is the green got a little dark on me.

That was me.

When you are comparing to guys who have become some of the best in the world, yeah his ppg will be lower. The Gregoire comparison is a good one.

Bring Gary Thorne back. Whenever I think of ESPN hockey, I think of him. Buccigross can't keep up with the play so he uses backyard commentary to try and sound clever, but it's just repetitive nonsense.

Started our few minutes behind. No sound like others have stated. Has it come back on yet for those of you ahead (live)?

No. All jerseys are blank unless I show otherwise.

As of now, yes.
