More tickets available for hockey this weekend because it's the Hall of Fame game. Not included in season tickets unless you specify that and pay for them. I think there will be big walk up numbers for FB on Saturday.

Has anyone asked (publicly) how/why the sports that were "protected" were chosen?

Brock

The X is available?? Then why would the NCHC even consider the Target Center! The Xcel is a hockey first venue, and a very nice one at that. St. Paul is a hockey town, and we've always enjoyed the area around the arena before and after games. If the vast majority of players and fans prefer the X, that should take precedence over some kind of "branding" opportunity for the league in Minneapolis. Lots of folks I know who travel all over during the season and postseason are talking about skipping the NCHC tourney. If UND fans don't support it, who will?

I'll take one.

Sold.

Selling 2 for 10/1. PM me if you're still looking.

PM me if you need 2.

No kidding. What a gong show.

How about if the offense starts the game fast, aggressive, and confident. Sure, there always individual mistakes that folks can point to, but you can't waste all of the first half possessions that we have and expect to win.

First round draft picks in the NCHC?

Were the two long TD passes for BG identical? (Saw one, not the other.) I'd expect upcoming opponents to try to expose whatever made those work.

35-17 BG. I really want to be wrong.

We have a winner folks. You're on for the next clue IRanger.

OK, Round 2: The answer is 18. (Conference related)

What are Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen?

I must have missed something. Why add another color? Black, green, white aren't enough?

I'll take one, please.

Like a lot of folks, I spend a ton of time and money on UND athletics. I can dislike the logo if I want. Doesn't make me less of a "fan".

If I remember correctly, Chicago traded up in the first round to get Nick. I thought we'd be lucky to get him one more year, but looks like his development is right on track for Chicago. Maybe the biggest jump from freshman to sophomore year that we've seen. Special player on a special team. Thanks Nick! Forever a Sioux!

https://seamoresports.com/2016/06/05/season-reviewlook-ahead-tucker-poolman/ Didn't realize he had only 4 penalty minutes this year. What game had"THE shift" - where he blocked all those shots? I'm thinking Michigan?

That, and putting the word "Fighting" in front of Hawks gave it an advantage. And I actually had people tell me they were voting for Hawks because of H.A.W.K.S. = How About We Keep Sioux. Ugh. The whole thing was a MESS.

Lots of cool things to see/do in Chicago. Too bad arena isn't located in a better area. Overall FF experience and thoughts on returning...St. Louis-maybe. Milwaukee-no. Denver-yes. Philly-no. St. Paul-yes. Boston-yes. Tampa-Double YES! But...who am I kidding? I'd go most anywhere for a FF.

I say they sell a certain number of spots. And those people who have paid for the season get in earlier to claim spots on a first come, first served basis.

I think the original question up for debate is, "Which path is better for development in the long term, the CHL or NCAA?" There will always be stand out teams/players in one league or the other.
