neonpelican wants in the club too.

Just waiting for Wilbur to finalize jersey specifics...if anyone else wants to hop on board, it's your last chance!

Lived there for 20 years...yea, I've heard it all...Pride on Ice, the State of Hockey...

They have one of those in Happy Valley, PA?

Bolded = all info rec'd

Shameless bump. I'm herding cats around here sometimes...

So, Mrs. Fleury, hot rumor is that you were spotted in Las Vegas over the weekend doing a little house hunting...

Well, on the plus side, you switch favorite teams fairly often, so you could just jump on the bandwagon where ever MAF winds up once the season's over, right?

Just think, 3 more wins like this and Murray can join that illustrious "short list" that DaveK, kevad, Roosevelt83 keeps mentioning over and over...

Can we PLEASE take a look at MAF's playoff stats since winning the Stanley Cup in 2009? 2010: 339 shots on goal, 302 saves. That's a .891 save percentage. 2011: 168 shots on goal, 151 saves. .899 save percentage if you're scoring at home. 2012: 157 shots on goal, 131 saves. Good heavens, .834. that's brutal. 2013: 145 shots against, 128 saves. .883. And that's rounded up. 2014: 378 shots against, 346 saves. .915. 2015: 150 shots against, 139 saves. .927. So, keep on riding the coat-tails of the 2009 Stanley Cup, DaveK Roosevelt83, but the numbers don't lie.

Not surprising at all...he left Edina High School early too.

I'll allow the Tampa Bay Buccaneers simply because the creamsicle uniforms are AWESOME. The Carolina Panthers...nope.

If only that was their team name, I could live with it. It's just the Vegas Golden Knights. If you're going to use the city name and not the state name, use the WHOLE city name. Can you imagine the Angeles Dodgers or the Antonio Spurs? dumb Dumb DUMB idea.

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PENGUINS NOT PROTECTING FLEURY!

Did you watch the video link above? They almost succeeded a few weeks ago.

Well, there's Jake Allen from the Blues who did it just a few weeks ago...

MAF is an obsession....you are my obsession...

Puck never went in, Gopher fans!

Please, Ottawa, please. It's for the children...

Actually, I kind of enjoyed the years WITHOUT Minnesota in the tournament...

Is it possible that UMD and SCSU fans - and the two Denver fans who made the trip to the X every year - are as unhappy with Target Center as some of us?

So if Denver, UMD, St Cloud State, and North Dakota were all in the NCHC Frozen Face-Off at the Xcel Energy Center, it wouldn't be quite the same because the jersey patches say NCHC on them instead of WCHA? There were several years of no Gophers at the Final Five and the tournament didn't miss a beat.

So, to reiterate, Target Center is a better location because there are more places to drink before and after the games. I must be losing my damn mind because I thought it was all about the hockey atmosphere. Minneapolis doesn't have a clue that a hockey tournament is even going on during the NCHC weekend. In St Paul, you're the main event. That alone make it better across the river. Want to go enjoy the bar and restaurant atmosphere in Minneapolis? Take the light rail. It'll save you $$$ on parking.

Such as? And, please let it not be the "night life" after the hockey game.

Is that a shot at me? It sounds like a shot at me! You know, you sure sound a lot like that DaveK character who has been around here a long time. What's your take on slew-footing?
