It's a little like herding cats at the Hogg sometimes...I will have the group photo available in about a week. Cratter, are you telling me there are forums on this site OTHER than hockey?

I guess you have to live in Mpls/St Paul to understand that Target Center and Xcel Energy Center may as well be Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. An event in Minneapolis typically does nothing for St Paul...and vice versa.

No-can-do. God's gotta focus on the task at-hand, beating Niagara and then the Yale/Minny winner.

I assume you mean 'choked,' but regardless, if you think NoDak could have played any better with their M*A*S*H unit, you're wrong.

Usually I pray for stuff like a cure for cancer, an end to world hunger, and no nukes in North Korea...but God's got bigger fish to fry this Friday, right?

You can't spell 'New Hampshire will never win the ultimate prize in college hockey' without U-M-I-L-E.

I left the friendly confines of the TC's for a spring break visit to the parents' house in SW ND. Sitting at a truck stop just outside Mandan right now but should be able to swing by the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Fairfield on Friday am on the way back home. If nothing else, I'll spot mom $5 and tell her to drop it in the 'special intentions' box at St Bernard's in Belfield.

Nice to see you back in the bigs, Taylor. How's your wife and my kids. LOL!

I should have stated same region years. That would make 2006 a 'yes'.

No time to fact-check but I would bet a UND/Denver or Minny match-up has happened every year since 2005.

2005 was stuck in my memory bank too. UND vs Denver or Minn happening all too often since the WCHA Invitational in Columbus.

When is the last time you saw a potential BC vs BU or BC vs UNH match-up in a regional final? But North Dakota vs Denver or North Dakota vs Minnesota? You can take that one to the bank almost every year.

I wasn't saying Bemidji State is a cupcake...just pointing out a fact. Yes, it's tough to do, especially in the WCHA.

LOL...Good times, Blackheart. Mettler's...The Platinum Fox of Mankato!

I think Rastislav Spirko's undressing of Chris Harrington is a far better memory than Wheeler's fluky play...and UND's three-peat including the 6 goal barrage is at the top of any Sioux fan list of FF good times. JK...Wheeler's goal was obviously very impressive. Suckiest moment? 2001 FF title game. Clearly goaltender interference on SCSU on the winning goal. How the goal call stood up is still a mystery to me.

Notre Dame goalie scores on himself! LOL...maybe we now wish Michigan had won?

Which one? The ship's bell being rung after a home win or the one where Marty Turco and Red Berenson wanted to kick my a$$ at Antler's after the game?

Four of those five wins in a row were against the same team...Bjugstad looking like he's playing with an NHL contract pen in his pocket...this could be BC vs CC all over again...

Hopefully the administrative staff at the Shady Pines Retirement Community thinks you can handle the drive to Minneapolis again...would love to see you next spring at the brunch!

2014 will be different. See you at the Hogg next March.

Cue the video of the Yale debacle please...

Score?

Not a sell-out...but the most impressive non-UND or Minn title game crowd I have seen in my 13 years at the X.

I was pulling YaneA's leg!

JUST KIDDING!
