So there’s a job opening there? Can I, er, a friend apply?

Just move the Coyotes and be done with this experiment already. It was a joke from the get-go.

Well, maybe someday I’ll be lucky enough to join your Mensa group, but until then…

Good grief, for real?

What does that have to do with the price of tea in Bulgaria?

I guess we could put him in the penalty box and give him 5:00 to think about it a bit more?

I was told there would be no Sudoku.

Wading into the conversation late here but are you a fan of screwing LIVE horses as opposed to dead ones? Personally, I'm opposed to both, but that's just me...

UPDATE: Drew + 3 -- @sprig's son and 2 of his kids! 13 so far.

You can duck out for an hour or two - he or she won't even notice you're gone.

@Wilbur + 4 @Fader and @fightingstew @Ice Arena Man I'm in +2 10 confirmed so far. Typically get about 15-25 but one year we had well over 50. The head count helps as I can alert the Hogg to how many staff they'll need. They don't often get large crowds the am/noonish hour the day after St. Patrick's Day. Get your name on the list! Thank you!

Clearly you’re on Team Michigan in this debate.

Now it’s a party!

Should be a fun conversation if some of these folks show up at the Hoggsbreath on Saturday at noon...

Sorry, Goon, I don't think that's the case at all. I realize at the time that Hak thought that taking the cream of the crop so to speak would make turn the NCHC into a gauntlet every week with teams well above .500 being left out of the NCAA tournament. At the end of the day, there are only so many wins to go around. What's happened is the same thing that has happened in every other conference - some programs rise up to become yearly contenders (North Dakota, Denver, UMD, St Cloud State), some become a flash in the pan every 4-5 seasons (UNO, Western Michigan), and others become yearly doormats (Colorado College, Miami). That's just the way sports works. It's hard to turn that around too - just ask Indiana or Vanderbilt football or Georgia Tech or Penn State basketball.

SCSU is ripe for the picking and Denver will be playing not to get hurt on Saturday. I’m sayin’ there’s a chance.

C’mon, that was funny.

But Michigan’s 25 straight winning seasons trumps North Dakota’s 21, amiright?

Looks like @Wilbur @Ice Arena Manand me so far…

I think I speak for everyone here in that NO ONE is hoping for a loss to St Cloud on Friday or a big W followed by a loss to DU or CC so that they can revel in pointing at Berry and saying, “HA HA” like Nelson from “The Simpsons.” The season is what it is at this point and hopefully the life-support machine can be removed on Saturday night as the team breathes on its own again with a 1 in 16 shot to win a national championship.

The stat was put out there by Schlossman what, 24 hours after UND guarantees itself a one game over .500 season. Let’s go back in time to October 1 and you can let me know what you’d think of me if I predicted UND with 18 wins on the season come the Frozen Faceoff puck-drop. Obviously Schloss thought that that was quite the impressive stat and needed to keep himself from being given the next media Code Red.

Spot on.

That’s nothing! Berry’s done that 3 times in just 8 seasons - unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat this coming weekend!

Well, since Schloss is all about “winning seasons,” Michigan clearly is in the conversation, right?
