Yikes. Toronto...Los Angeles...Columbus...talk about racking up frequent flyer miles.

They have. I hate Dickinson Trinity like folks here in MSP hate St Thomas Academy and Hill-Murray. Disclaimer: I don't hate it enough to torch it like the principal apparently did on Monday!

And how long ago was THAT? Cue Dickinson Trinity and its demolition of Class B sports in SW ND for the past 20 years...

Call me old-school in thinking that the idea of improving a financial situation isn't shaking down people for more money...it's cutting spending. But hey, Minnesota needs a new building to house its Senators, right? After all, it'll provide good union construction jobs and help the economy! No problem...here's $90 million!

Boy, did they ever. How nice is it to not see STA in this year's tournament? Cake-eaters.

Agreed. I used to enjoy the women's games more than the men's games back in '88-'92.

They should be. Good grief - the province of Alberta sure doesn't have a lot to cheer about these days.

That's a little better...sure would be nice to see UND outnumbering that school to the south by 1,000 or more fans per game though.

According to Ben Holden, the award for the tournament winner is the Penrose Trophy.

Ouch. I know those are last year's numbers but I sure hope the difference between a team WINNING 20+ games and a team LOSING 20+ games is greater than approximately 675 fans. C'mon, Grand Forks...support that women's basketball team!

Sheesh, Wilbur, I've lost all respect for you now.

I'm sure they do! Too late now. Miss the boat twice? Sorry, sometimes a third one doesn't show up.

Only if Scott Mellanby comes out of retirement!

Why do I get the impression that if every Penguins player celebrated scoring a goal by tossing a baby kitten in the air and swatting it with his hockey stick, you'd still find a way to defend their antics?

I agree - kind of like the 4 on 4 in OT in hockey...same thing in football. What's next, goofy uniforms? Oh wait...nevermind... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFm4WA7jtCk

Lots of NBA players would love to play with Dwayne Wade and Lebron James, too...but they're still whiny floppers.

That's just my bain thawing out from the sub-zero winter...

Al Gore called...he said to stop complaining. Oh, and he's putting a wind farm in your backyard - since he doesn't want that eyesore in his.

Of course it would be the Vikings, LOL!

No, actually, I wouldn't, DaveK. I'd call it diving. You're the same type of fan who has no problem with an NFL wide receiver jumping up claiming "I caught it! I caught it" and showing the football to an offical...as instant replay shows the ball skipping on the turf three feet in front of him while he's diving to make a catch. Or maybe you prefer bush league baseball like A-Rod yelling "I got it" while running to 3B on an infield pop-up? Bush league is bush league - and if you like players flopping all over trying to draw penalties, go watch soccer.

You know, you really should change your name to DoubtingDaveK - you questioned slew-footing a while back, then when I provided links to the NHL rule-book and an instructional video from your very own Pittsburgh Penguins web site in which the instructors said this is a "big problem" in today's NHL, you STILL dismissed it as a insignificant and irrelevant. You've watched thousands of games...I'm sure you tuned in for the Finland/Canada and Chicago/Pittsburgh games recently and saw it with your own eyes. Hilarious that you'd lose respect for Selanne and Toews for challenging your golden boy...but since you asked... http://nextimpulsesports.com/2014/02/16/teemu-selanne-calls-sidney-crosby-diving-sid-takes-exception/

Saturday March 22nd from 11am until 1:30pm or so...I will be at the Hogg around 10am myself...
