Wow, how did I forget about that?

Have the Sioux ever had 2 players/recruits selected in the first round of the same year?

Carolina has a lot of local connections. Matt Cullen, Ryan Bayda, now Commodore. Is Brad Defauw still with their organization?

Apparently Maine will not be coming to the Ralph next season after all. Their schedule was released today. Here's the link: Maine Schedule I was almost certain that they were coming here as part of a 2-year deal. My friend in Maine said that adding Vermont to Hockey East affected the number of non-league games they could schedule, and that they may be coming in 2006-07 instead.

Me and a buddy went to the series in Maine in October, and we were very impressed with the fans. Several people talked about how much respect they have for UND after the Walsh jersey deal a few years ago. You expect to have some people get in your face when you go on the road, but we really didn't encounter any of that. Instead, almost everybody that approached us wanted to talk about our team, our arena, etc. I found a Maine fan on USCHO before that series who set us up with tickets, and we're returning the favor when he and his wife come to the Ralph in October. We've been exchanging emails for the past several months and he assured me that a lot of Maine fans were pulling for the Sioux after they got knocked out of the tournament. I've become a big Maine hockey fan after that weekend. I'd love to see UND & Maine continue to schedule each other after the 2005-06 season.

Just to clarify, won't the game be at 4pm Phoenix time? I thought that Arizona doesn't observe daylight saving time, so after the time change, won't they be 3 hrs. behind Eastern time? I've been checking into this as I will be in the Phoenix area next week also.

Kind of makes you wonder if the NCAA will make sure this doesn't happen again. Wasn't this the first time in several years that the WCHA had a team in each regional?

Do you get a -2 when you get burned for a shorty the way Harrington was burned by Spirko?

Here's a link from an article in the Boston University newspaper, where they state that UND has won 6 national titles: Dogs to play North Dakota EDIT: Sorry, it looks like that link is password protected. Here's a link from yahoo: Yahoo story

My guess: East (Worcester) BC vs. Mercyhurst UND vs. BU West (Minneapolis) Minnesota vs. Maine Cornell vs. Wisconsin Northeast (Amherst) CC vs. Bemidji New Hampshire vs. Ohio St. Midwest (Grand Rapids) Denver vs. Colgate Michigan vs. Harvard

Doesn't Boston University get placed in the East Regional in Worcester as the host school? I thought I read that on USCHO.

The Sioux actually get some love from INCH! http://www.insidecollegehockey.com/7Archiv...w/potw_0327.htm

This league also has a team named the "Smoke Eaters".

I was at the Sioux Falls Stampede game tonight in Sioux Falls, and they displayed the Warroad score on the scoreboard, along with Oshie's stats for the game. They also mentioned that he will be in the lineup for Sioux Falls on Sunday.

Speaking of sportsmanship, what's with MacMurchy skating around the ice while the Sioux players are being introduced? He did it both nights this weekend. Not showing any respect for his opponents if you ask me.

Fox has 3 channels dedicated to college sports. I can get them on my digital cable package. It's pretty nice as they air some college hockey games from the CCHA, in addition to Gophers and Badgers games.

All those people need to do is watch the replay of the AHL All-Star game to get a very clear reminder of how big of a loss it was losing those two. (Or check out the AHL stats.)

Trying to watch the game on Dataflix. The quality is pretty bad. I did get to hear a local reporter interview Sioux coach Dave "Haskel". I wonder if he's any relation to Eddie.

Jason Blake article from Tuesday's Fargo Forum

Any word on Brady Murray playing this weekend?
