YIKES. Who you going with in jimdahl's bracket?

Nicely done.

There are probably more of those Saturday morning other thingies going on in Minneapolis though...

Exactly 1 less season win than #1's Minnesota and UMD...those Friars are no slouch. I think PC alums are funnelling money to Brown to host the regional every few years.

You could just catch a ride to the game with DrunkHockeyGuy...assuming his probation officer can get him a weekend "hall pass" to venture out of state.

I don't disagree with you at all...how much more fun would higher seeded teams hosting lower seeded teams be?

WHICH WAY FANS MIGHT LEAN? An Xcel Energy Center vs Target Center Twitter poll for fans is going to wind up so lopsided that it'll make the 1984 presidential election between Reagan vs Mondale appear to be "too close to call" by comparison.

Well, to be fair, that "one random person" would be UND fan legend @NorthDakotaHockey, so yea..,

I wouldn't go NEARLY as far as comparing this to the McSorley incident. A nasty, dirty, cheap play, sure. But he didn't skate behind Johnson and swing his stick at him like it was a Louisville Slugger!

"Unearned" home game for Providence? The Friars have 1 less win than #1 seeds UMD and Minnesota. What exactly did North Dakota do to "earn" a de facto home game other than submit the winning bid for it?

Well, then just put your shoulder into 'em and knock 'em on their back, right? That'll "send a message."

Yes, I think that was close to actual. 8,148 Sioux fans and 20 UMD band members.

Oh, I'll be working...remotely.

I'll start...Joe Senser's in Bloomington MN on Friday. See ya there!

@siouxfan512 table at Senser's at 1 pm?

Soooooo...all things considered, Mrs. Kennedy...the weekend in Dallas wasn't so bad?

I know, but I went with the contract expiration date.

Friday at Joe Sensers in Bloomington - BOOK IT!

2019.

I juat smell like skunky Mountain Dew most of the time...

Notre Dame and then a match-up with UMass-Lowell. Have fun with that, Goldy!

Now that the weekend is done, anyone have some impressions on the Target Center? I'll offer up a few: 221, right behind the net. Great view. New scoreboard is nice. Rap and hip-hop music played every time there was more than a 2-second delay in the WMU/UMD game. Someone must have gotten the memo that this was not an NBA game as that stopped after about 3-4 stoppages in play. $14 burgers is NOT my idea of food improvements. Neither was spending $10 on a single chicken strip and three French Fries that tasted like they had spent the last week under a heat lamp. The entire arena smells like skunky beer. I think my clothes smelled the same exact way after I left on Friday. Gross. Ice looked horrible. Watched the replay at home and last night's game as well and lost count of how many times the announcers made the same exact comment. Overall, worth the $100 I spent to watch two hockey games. The sooner this event gets back to the Xcel Energy Center, the better.

Loved the comment posted the other day about the feminist warrior from Duluth dancing in a way that totally objectifies women. I know RWtD personally after having been seated with her and her brother for games at Joe Senser's back in the day. She's a good fan. DrunkHockeyGuy, on the other hand...

That's exactly how I saw it too. Sandelin: OK, someone go send them a message. Pionk: I'M ON IT, COACH!
