North Dakota...multiple NCAA titles. Minnesota...multiple NCAA titles. Wisconsin...multiple NCAA titles. SCSU - "it's fun to make fun of their fans." Um...ok, if that's your criteria for great hockey tournament.

Fixed your post. How many NCAA titles amongst that group? A lot. Problem is, 3 of those 4 are B10 teams.

So who would the Wild offer to the Islanders for Thomas Vanek? What's next, a trade for Phil Kessel?

Pittsburgh wins tonite...Sidney Crosby zero goals in last four games.

I started a new thread so all of the Pittsburgh Penguins daily updates can go here. I'd like to read about other NHL teams and updates in the NHL thread. There are still other teams in the NHL, right?

The fiasco that happened on Friday night is exactly why the NCAA needs to ditch shoot-outs. It's bad enough watching NHL'ers creeping towards the net trying to deke out a goalie 50 times all while pretending to remain in forward motion. The shoot-out is a joke.

Well, then I would be able to tell you that you would know where FOUR of those jersey are and that you'd been turned down on THREE of them.

Well, that's not QUITE how I pictured you...I think it was more like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSRcXRkQGOI

I saw a young woman wearing one at REA a couple of years ago. I offered her $200 cash on the spot for it - she said 'no thanks.'

I completely agree with you again. Given all of the injuries that happened two years ago, that Broadmoor run was absolutely amazing. Despite some nasty comments on here by some, that 2012 season exceeded expectations in my book.

You guys are giving Minnesota WAY too much credit right now. Michigan State is a mediocre team with an 8-13-4 record and Minnesota was lucky to escape with one win at home this past weekend. The winning streak continues, yes, but there is lots to be concerned about if I'm Minnesota.

That puck luck all evens out in the end.

Good luck! What are there, maybe 20-25 of those things even in existence?

Hob-knobbin' around with the Belieber posse?

Hey, I'm not disagreeing with that statement, but the last memory is usually the most-recent and that's my last memory of the Sioux/Gopher match-up. Of course, sadness was turned to joy in watching Gopher fans claim that they were the better team against BC two weeks later while my memory clearly recalls Minnesota being taken out behind the woodshed by Jerry York's boys.

Last time I checked, the Gophers (unfortunately) mopped up the X with the Sioux in the 2012 western regional...the memory of the miracle comeback at the Final Five was short-lived. Man, that Final Five game was a thing of beauty though, wasn't it?

You don't seriously listen to One Direction, do you?

I would love to see MN roll thru the rest of the season undefeated...and then promptly diddle down their leg in the NCAA tournament. Big 10 Regular Season Champions...Big 10 Playoff Champions...NCAA one-and-done.

SWEET! Cue the "Wilber doesn't look anything like what I expected" comments at the Hogg.

I stand corrected. 6 vs 11, 7 vs 10, and 8 vs 9 in HE first round. Maybe I was thinking back to when HE had 10 teams and the bottom 2 did not make their conference playoffs.

Hmnnn...maybe I am wrong. Did they change to the playoff system similar to what the CCHA did?

What size, Wilbur? XL? XXL?

Wow, has Boston U hit the skids this year. 10th place in HE and only 2 points up on Merrimack for the right to sit at home and not even play a first-round playoff series! Kudos to Alaska-Anchorage, who has quietly put together a respectable 13-10-3 record this season, albeit in the watered-down WCHA.

I wasn't trying to disparage the attendance at all - in fact, I think it was a great idea to try to get fans in and around Grand Forks who, on a weekend when the men are completely out of the picture, to say "hey, let's spend four bucks and take the kids to the women's game tonight." With any luck, the idea made some new fans and women's attendance will get a bit of a boost in the rest of their games this season and on into next season. That being said, if I posted on craigslist tonight that I will offer anyone who shows up at my broomball game on Wednesday night to cheer for my team free pizza and hot chocolate, I bet we'd outdraw everybroomball game in the country for the entire month of February!

Hey, Mariucci and GFG, just because you guys will be in St Paul doesn't mean aren't invited to attend the brunch. You're more than welcome...come on out.
