I think you're missing the joke, BWSE...it's basically about my OCD issue and spelling/punctuation. I also have the same hang-up with keeping my fingernails trimmed daily.

I'm still convinced that Canada was told to go easy on teams in the preliminary rounds of the Olympics...I believe it was 2010 when they defeated Slovakia or one of the lesser-teams 18-0 and the losing goalie was absolutely bawling her eyes out walking thru the handshake line. Those types of games are not good for the sport. Canada's coach claimed that his team was "sending a message" to the other teams (i.e., the United States) that they were going to have no mercy. Looking for links and I may be fuzzy on the year and the opponent...but I watched the game live and it was NOT pretty.
If I could cherry-pick Minnesota, St Cloud, UMD, Michigan, Denver, Wisconsin, and Penn State from that list and add in North Dakota. I'd start the MSHC...
...the Mega-Super Hockey Conference!
Kevin, feel free to create a user name and password here and PM me directly. Nobody WANTED women's hockey to go away, but that $2 million-a-year albatross around UND's neck was hard to ignore.
Bemidji State vs UMD yesterday in women's WCHA playoffs...FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE ATTENDEES! News flash: North Dakota isn't the only school that's going to have trouble keeping women's hockey afloat. Call it a hunch.
Good to see the Olympic results boosting women's attendance already...FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE people showed up in Duluth (vs Bemidji State) today for game 3 of the WCHA playoffs!
