Really? I had the exact same issue regarding jerseys from around 2005ish...I thought the NOB on the back of my white jersey was "authentic" but upon further review, it was only close to being what the players wore. Big A HG...PM me or send me a text!

So if we start giving free passes to underage hockey players getting drunk at house parties, can we also excuse the next big bash at the Theta Delta Sigma or Pi Kappa Chi house too (obviously fake fraternity names but you get the idea)? How about the kid in West Hall who gets busted by the RA sneaking a beer into the dorm?

If I had a nickel for every time I heard the word "authentic," I'd be a rich man. I purchased a USA hockey jersey several years ago and the vendor insisted that the NOB was as real as Team USA itself. Imagine my outrage when the jersey arrives and I see individual letters sewn on the back of the jersey..and no nameplate. EPIC FAIL.

I saw that too, but I think "heat-press" and "authentic" are words that should not be used in the same sentence together. Use caution.

Notre Dame in the Big 10? They've already got one worthless Indiana school in the conference...who needs two?

Even better news to brighten my day...I'm just getting over the fact that I bought the black authentic with the WCHA tag on the back two years ago...then move the tag to the much more likeable front of the jersey. Thanks.

I get up to Fargo about once a year...here I was ecstatic to get one for $250. Thanks for bursting my bubble.

...and there's that reason too.

AC/DC's "Let's Get It Up" is a far better song than either of those two.

Now that's an unsubstantiated rumor...

You're kidding, right? Oklahoma City Thunder...dumbest nickname ever.

Scheel's had a panic sale a couple of years ago and I picked up an authentic for $250. I haven't seen them for less than $300 since then after the merchandise deadlines were revised.

I can't believe the number of people who actually think a rhyming nickname is a good idea. The North Dakota Nokota...unbelievable. Why not Michigan Nichigans, Notre Dame Fame or Georgia Peorgia while we're at it?

Get rid of the armpit stains on the white and green jerseys and you might have a winner.

While this move makes logistical sense in terms of proximity to other Big East schools, I hope UConn can put hockey on the map at a school where basketball is king (and queen).

I seriously can't believe all the talk about rhyming state name and school name. The North Dakota Nokota. You gotta be kidding me.

So is our current president, unfortunately. Let's gack back on topic, please.

I'll see your 1987 backwards and raise you a 1983 going backwards as Michigan State won the title in 1986 and Bowling Green won it in 1984.

I saw BC play several times this season and they put a whoopin' on every single team. I knew they would be trouble come NCAA time. What were you watching? I thought they were outstanding.

It's George Bush's fault that North Dakota didn't win the NCAA hockey title.

That 3rd goal was a work of art. Certainly it should have topped any NBA dunk on ESPN's Top 10.

I know that schools like Union College and RIT are small in numbers but I don't think it is any less exciting seeing someone new in the Frozen Four. Did you see the Ferris State players yesterday after the empty net goal? I personally think that the more exposure that college hockey gets, the better.

I got an earful from my Gopher fan friends about Mario's actions during the regional championship game last week. I thought he should have been shown the gate. Last night's were just as bad, only this time, a penalty got called. 8 minutes left in a 6-1 game and you want to goon it up? Nice.
