That is impressive, but I saw Miele play for the 1st time this year when Miami lost in the regional. I'm big on stats for these awards, but I also believe in the "eyeball" test. He didn't pass it. Frattin IS the best player in college hockey and IMO I don't think that is arguable. Whether he wins the Hobey is another story, but if he doesn't people won't be saying Panzer got robbed any more!

We have had 130 continuous days of snow cover on the ground to date. Good, bad or indifferent...all this *#@& just needs to come to an end! Dragging it out another 2-3 weeks isn't going to help the moral of the city.

The calender says March 31...but waking up to ANOTHER layer of snow doesn't make it feel like April is just around the corner. For those who work in the mental health arena in the F-M area, I'm sure a few are looking at buying or upgrading lake property after this winter and pending flood season!! People here are ready to jump off of cliffs...if only they could one in the valley. Goodness has this been a long winter! BTW...Sunday's forecast has the potential for a few more inches of snow!

We will join you...we are in row 2.

Since when did NDSU get a hockey team! We each have those schools we despise. Go Sioux Go! Go Irish! (for one game anyways)

My daughter and I will be rolling into the X from Fargo next Thursday. Working on getting tickets for 6 others...anyone know a bank I can rob!?!? Goodness is capitalism alive and well!

Mine showed from StubHub via Fed Ex today as well. Huge folder as well. Nice to see Fed Ex isn't going green.

Anyone else see Woody Paige during "Facetime" on ESPN Around the Horn today predicting the UMD 'Dogs to win the F4. He is a clown and JA and is another Denver newspaper hack. At least the F4 got a little pub on ESPN though.

Forgot about E-bay...good option.

I got tickets for my daughter/me late Sunday night off of StubHub. Paid a little more than my wife, who doesn't know exact $$$ figure, would have liked I'm sure, but got seats in club section. As of last night those same seats are up 140% of what I paid. I've been to multiple big time sporting events over the years, minus a Super Bowl & the Masters (bucket list), and here is my take on finding tickets: Stubhub...insured/guaranteed and you know exactly what you are getting at a set price and when you want to buy them. USCHO.com...have been completely stung along everytime I've have been contacted by someone selling tickets. Don't think for a second people are selling strictly at face over there. Craigs list....good and bad experiences. Lots of nuts out there. Broker i.e. Ticket King....it's a broker. Capitalism at it's finest. Bottom line...supply and demand. I look at this way...some sporting events are lifetime memory makers. To go with a daughter, specials friends or family, sell the dog, the golf clubs or the wife because events like the 2011 F4 are priceless when you look back 5-10 years from now IMO. My daughter, who is ten, still talks about our trip when Porter's wrap around sent the Gophs packing in the West regional in Denver. She still talks about Finley, looking like a pylon, as BC routed us at the F4 in Denver. She still talks about being able to skate on the same ice as UND at that same F4 the Friday between games. Those memories, as a dad, I can't put a $$$$ amount on. If you want/can go to St. Paul, by all mean find a way to score tickets...it'll be $$$ well spent...trust me. (verklempt with tissue)

Stubhub and Ticket King had a a huge run on tickets after UND won. The X holds 18K+ for hockey...wouldn't suprise me, esp. with no HE teams there, if a 1/3 of the fans are rocking the white and kelly green.

Double that and you'll still be low IMO. My daughter and I are going.

Agree...plus the fact the DU knew they were screwed when Mario sniped the shorty! Numbers don't lie!

"Oh Lucy, you got some explaining to do!"

"This is not college hockey" the announcer says. Radke definately made Testicle his be-otch that night!

If you UND can weahter the 1st 10-15 minutes, pack your bags people. DU will be running on pure energy to start the game. At some point, playing 90 minutes of hockey yesterday will take it's toll on them, especially if the play stays 5x5 most of the game. My 3 keys to the game: 1) In Dell, we trust! He will have to be very good, especially early. 2) Limit our penalties and make this as much of a 5x5 game as possible. 3) Just score 1 more goal than DU...I got it 4-2 UND...the march to the X is on! Gregiore will be a beast this game IMO.

Totally agree...UND kept their composure...especially after the Nelson hit. I thought RPI was reckless and undisciplined for most of the game. 26 year old Canadians >>> Smart kids!

That would work too. I just think in a close grind it out game, Dickin provides some grit on the walls and IMO really complimented Kristo in the F5 last week. Gleason just doesn't do much for me at forward.

He's a difference maker! He was yesterday and will be today as well. Side note, I'd be shocked if Nelson plays. He looked like he was out cold for a little bit. I say Rowney centers Kristo and Dickin and Davidson goes back with Mario and Rodwell.

For me, it's this simple...make sure JG is in the lineup!

Where was that?

Was Anderson or Shep reffing that game? Another completely blown call in college hockey...pathetic.

With the snow this week, it is now the 4th snowiest winter on record in Fargo, bumped last year to 8th all-time and bumped '08-'09 winter to 5th if my memory is correct. In the last 3 years, we have had 3 of the top 10 snowiest winters EVER!!! Lake Agassiz is starting to refill herself...

Great news for the ND local markets!

Just got done playing the "Valley" course at TPC Sawgrass. Playing the "Stadium" course tomorrow and then fly home Thurs. Still working out the logisctics with the boss, my wife, if a quick turnaround to GB is feasible. Will try to work on another "kitchen pass" that would include taking my 2 girls...for any man that is married with the above mentioned scenerio, you know what my odds are. Oh...then there is that work thing. "So you're saying there's a chance..."
