Time remaining?

Correct - 6th place. Or else. http://sochi2014.iih...s/germany-army/

gfhockey is everywhere today!

Fire Hak if USA loses this game? Oh, wait, he's Canadian...

Olympic parity.

Nope, one of my other players did, though...so we played the entire second half a player down. Pretty impressive, if you ask me.

5 on 3? No problem. My broomball team killed off a 20 minute power play two weeks ago.

And I've leave Jim O'Brien off that list and put Bjugstad on there. Interesting story about Jim O'Brien, though...he was among a group of healthy scratch players for the Ottawa Senators (in town to play the Bruins) who had planned to attend the 2013 Boston Marathon - and stand near the finish line. The group decided to 86 the idea of going to watch the race and instead stayed in their hotel and took a nap instead.

Was he slew-footing one of the L twins as they left the ice?

Thanks, cberkas.

We won our broomball semi-final game last night 1-0 and lost the championship game 2-1. I had 0 goals, 0 assists, and was a -1 on the evening, having been on the ice for the game-winning goal scored against us with about five minutes left in the game. I'm not sure I'm qualified to coach defense OR offense, Wilbur, but I do appreciate being thrown into the mix of coaching candidates you'd work alongside.

Really? Good for the Swiss. Here's another question...since the advent of women's hockey, the USA and Canada own all of the gold and silver medals save for Sweden's silver in 2006. USA has the 2006 bronze medal and Switzerland now has one bronze medal. Who has the others?

Who won the bronze medal game?

As opposed to playing Minnesota in the cozy confines of the Xcel Energy Center, in front of 8,000-10,000 of THEIR fans, vs playing in Bismarck, in front of 5,000-7,000 of North Dakota fans? It was just a suggestion...especially since there don't appear to be many bidders for these things nowadays... 2015: Fargo 2016: Bismarck 2017: Grand Forks Since 2001, Manchester, NH, and Worcester, MA have hosted a regional. Both are within 60 miles of Boston. That streak will continue thru at least 2016, too. Hmnn...

Bigger goons than The Lumberjacks, our broomball opponent last night!

I'd agree with you on that...but in terms of Sioux fan support...Bismarck would be much more "homey" to UND than to Minnesota, a likely regional attendee as well.

As much as I love seeing the best athletes in their profession play in the Olympics, there is something to watching the unheralded athlete come from nowhere to the spotlight... One of my favorite non-1980 Olympic stories to this day...I can still see the French fans standing and chanting "Rey Le-blanc...Rey Leblanc...Rey Le-blanc..." during his incredible performance in net at the 1992 games in Méribel, France. Give me chills. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1201781/index.htm Those moments just don't happen anymore.

So you're sayin' there's a chance...

Beat me to the punch...it can't work any worse than Target Center, can it?

Didn't the Bismarck Bobcats play their first season at the civic center? I'm almost positive they did.

Good point. I'll offer one up...can we have Grand Forks, Fargo, and maybe even the Bismarck Civic Center make an effort to consistently host NCAA men's regional hockey tournaments?

Now there's a fair comparison - from this point forward, all NCAA regionals involving UND will be played at REA. This will be followed by the Frozen Four, which will also be played at REA. Give me 10 years of that and instead of you lobbying for Hakstol to be canned on a weekly hourly basis around here, you'll be spear-heading an effort to build a statue of him out in front of the arena.

2002 and 2003 titles be damned...Lucia still needs a pair.

The NHL player question is legitimate...a women's league? Only if the NHL is willing to prop up each team's financial losses, which would be in the millions of dollars.
