That's because most folks in the suites are too busy discussing their trust funds or babbling to each other about their next big court case...

Not old-timers like you and me...

Give it 5-10 years, darell1976, and we'll see...UND will put the hammer down on old-timers and the young 18 year old PC-indoctrinated freshman will be happy to point out folks yelling "Go Sioux" to ushers so they can be removed from the arena.

FSU was originally included on a list of "banned schools" because an NCAA official had mistakenly believed that the Seminole Tribe of Oklahoma had condemned the use of "Seminoles" by Florida State. NCAA officials had to back-track quickly after the Oklahoma tribe asserted that this was not correct at all and was actually the opinion of David Narcomey, a member of the tribe's general council. The Oklahoma Seminole tribe was asked to vote on the resolution and it was shot down by an 18-2 vote in July of 2005.

UConn formally becomes the 12th member of Hockey East starting this coming fall...and all 12 Hockey East teams will qualify for the post-season. Also, the opening round of the tournament changes from single-elimination to a best-of-three series.

Yup x 1000! If the University of North Dakota had FSU's football program and Florida State was one of the kings of Division I college hockey, the situation would be reversed completely.

Really cool list, Dave. I appreciate your work and input on it. Very cool. Someone needs to put together a "Top 20" jersey list of all-time...although it's pretty obvious that the late 1980's era Sioux jerseys would win that hands-down.

Yea, gfhockey rented a suite and invited me too but I can't make it.

Jersey-watch Original 6 Stanley Cup Finals heaven.

Jersey watch: Montreal vs Boston is a great match-up. Chicago's jerseys are fabulous. Minnesota? What Oxbow6 just said.

How about MSNBC and their am coverage of Cinco de Mayo?

I think they're out at the golf course with smokey the cat in Phoenix right about now...

Like shootin' fish in a barrel sometimes, Goon...

Say something negative about the Bruins, siouxsweet, and Goon's Spidey-senses go crazy within about 3.2 seconds, prompting his lightning-quick replies.

Groan...

Moore just tried to slew-foot Goc...Goc took the bait and gave Moore a stick to the face. Cheap play, Moore.

Cleveland and Kansas City hav bombed so far considering they had big expectations coming into this season...Chicago and Minnesota are mediocre at best...Detroit should have this thing wrapped up by the All-Star break.

I'm actually in agreement with you that Crawford is a pretty solid goalie. But I bet Bryzgalov would have the same numbers if he had Chicago's four lines in front of him as opposed to his own team.

NHL Rivals on NBCSN right now...1992 Patrick Division final between the Penguins and Rangers...those white Penguins jerseys were fabulous. Mario, why, oh why, are you still putting your team in that Vegas gold crap?

So you're saying that as long as Chicago keeps on winning, Crawford has got what it takes...what happens if Chicago starts losing? Does that meam Crawford suddenly sucks?

Really? How so?

This is the same Corey Crawford who has battled it out with Antti Niemi and Ray Emery for the starting job over most of the past four seasons, right? For a second there, I thought we were talking about Vladislav Tretiak.

That reminds me of my all-time favorite taunt from years gone by...Montreal defenseman Patrice Brisebois (pronounced breeze-baugh) had been beaten like a mule so many times one year that the fans taunted him by chanting slightly mis-pronounced BREEZE-BY at him. Not the road fans...the HOME fans!

I'm confused. Teams like the Wild and Devils trapped their way around NHL ice for years...I only WISH the NHL of the mid-to-late 1990's and early 2000's had Olympic-size venues.

Wow again! Anze Kopitar is worth the price of admission. What a player.
