REALLY? Going with the bald guy jokes?

"Welcome to the SEC Network and thanks for joining us this afternoon for some college football! We've got a real treat dor you today as we bring you Kentucky and Vanderbilt, two of the top forty three teams in the country..."

All 6 teams in the top 43 of the PWR? That's incredible!

If you didn't know where he was going before the awards ceremony, you certainly knew where AFTER it!

3 games over .500...and staring a B10 champions banner-raising next fall right in the eyes!

Why waste me in net? With me at right wing on the first line, UND is up 7-2 and I'm a +5!

What's going on the sign outside the Hogger this year?

Just because you won't - or can't - attend the games doesn't make someone "less" of a fan.

A show of respect? I've got jerseys older than that cup. "We revere this cup so much that we bring it to you in white gloves...and promptly put it into your sweaty hands!"

The Stanley Cup white gloves treatment was a bit over the top.

Michigan is doing its best to absolutely throw away the B10 conference title. An embarrassing loss at home to an AWFUL Ohio State team.

Add your name to the list! We're only TWO WEEKS away from the annual brunch. For sure to be a great time this year!

Michigan: Doing everything it can to hand a barely-over-.500 team a conference championship. An absolute embarrassing loss at home last night to Ohio State. Wow.

I don't know who you're talking about, Fetch, but if it's Quinnipiac, yea, they're pretty good.

I think a common fallacy amongst college hockey fans is that "traditional" powers will always be great. Fact of the matter is, once you slide down the hill of mediocrity, it's harder to climb back up than we think. Who could imagine Michigan Tech taking a 30 year nosedive after their last NCAA apprarance in I believe the early 1980's? Maine was a powerhouse in the 1990's and was a few seconds away from being a national champion as recently as 2002. Lake Superior State - 88, 92, and 94 NCAA champs. Blew a 3rd period lead againt Maine in 93, otherwise we're talking FOUR titles in seven years! And that program has fallen into the abyss. I guess my point is that there seems to be a thought out there that just because schools like Wisconsin (and Michigan State, for that matter) USED TO BE associated with greatness, just because they're B10 doesn't necessarily mean there is any reason to think they'll be "back" anytime soon.

Now all GFG needs is a Sioux hockey jersey and his transformation to the dark side will be complete!

That's either 2011 or 2012...I'll try to post the last four-five years if I can find them somewhere.

This straw man happened to attend the Final Fives held at Target Center in 1999 and 2000. The only changes to the place since those days seem to be the different color Timberwolves logos on the basketball court. I'm not sure how that affects hockey though.

Great point. Give Target Center another 20-30 years and things will be awesome!

I certainly wouldn't be advertising on a message board that you're looking for cheap knock-off jerseys from China. There was a big bust in Eagan a few years ago involving Chinese-made NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL jerseys. The feds don't mess around with stuff like that.

That's already a nice number - plenty of room for more!

Why would the NCHC want to play the tournament in Palo Alto?

Nevermind the alarm, gfhockey could just swing over to your hotel room and knock on the door. He'd be just getting home from The Seville Club anyways.

LeftyZL will be there. Unless he won't be there, in which case, he won't be there. Got it. I think.
