Nope, didn't pay him... ...might have texted him and asked him to post it on my behalf though.

@bigskyvikes I DIDN'T SAY IT!

What's google? I can't seem to find it in the phone book. In fairness to me, I was talking about the local evening news. Disappointing to see the focus be on fresh paint and new cheeseburger condiments as opposed to stuff relevant to hockey.

I had freebies thanks to a buddy but did notice that around the arena. I had the same problem at the 2000 regional at Mariucci. Gopher fans all around the building asking for WAY MORE than face value for tickets. Maybe 4,000 actual attendees once I got in the door.

What happened in 2011?

Well, according to one poster here after Saturday's loss, TOO MUCH attention was paid to mimosas and poles after Friday's win... (I'll show myself out)

That's a big if. I saw the local news bit on the millions of dollars worth of "improvements" to Target Center - most of the segment discussed fresh paint and new menu options. Zero mention of anything that will improve the boards, ice conditions, etc.

Viewers on TV won't be impressed by "announced" attendance numbers.

I didn't quote you or do the @fightingsioux4life thing...but you seem rather concerned by my comment...maybe there is some merit to it?

I think it may depend more on some upper-classmen FIGURING OUT the college game.

Pre-2016: We're North Dakota, not Michigan Tech! We EXPECT to compete for national championships every year! Post-2016: Meh. We're good until 2020.

Well that's kind of nit-picking, isn't it?

Me: DAMMIT, they tied it up! OMG, not again! You: Not to worry, Berry's the coach, he won't let us lose!

Show of +1 and -1 fingers, Cratter...how many folks here REALLY believed that UND was going to beat Denver after the Pioneers tied it in the 3rd vs thinking the team and its fans were headed for yet another heartbreaking Frozen Four semi-final loss? +1 for "I knew we were gonna win!" -1 for "Ya got me - I figured my heart was gonna get ripped out again!" I'll go first: -1.

Bros before Hakstols.

You got me, all my friends on here know me to be a true Sioux hater. I hope that your hatred of Hakstol doesn't keep you up at night.

I had a hard time getting past all the +1's...am I missing something? Keep up the crusade, though!

Who else besides your roommate beebs? You're just another anonymous keyboard tough guy. Keep up the good work!

You mean you didn't follow him into the john and buddy-up next to him at the urinal to get the "inside scoop?"

You must have been standing outside on an extended smoke-break - during the 27 minutes of the game where the Fighting Hawks recorded ZERO shots on goal!

I was being facetious - $10 a pop and I'd probably take the whole gang. Gas, ticket, food, AND beverage for $50? What Target Center package is THAT? It's probably $25 just to park my car within a four mile radius of Target Center!

Hey, thanks for the help. Now I just need to concince her to take 12 hours of PTO from her Friday and Saturday overnight shift and I'm golden. After all, I don't want to be less of a fan because I'm not meeting the minimum games attended requirement, right?

I think 4 more "quality losses" bumps UND up to a #2 seed...

Yea, I'm one of those half-ass UND fans who has a problem spending $500 or so for the entire family to spend a weekend watching hockey.

Oh, this team definitely turned a corner last night...
