An absolute MUST-WIN series for the Gophers...I suppose they’re blaming the high school tournament and bad timing...

My personal life has completely derailed this and I apologize again. Lots of irons in the fire these days. I am literally sitting down this morning and firing this order off. I know, I know, you won’t need these hats in July, but the good news is, you’ll have them in time for that first chilly day come fall.

I keep being told on someone here that there are no concerns about Mariucci attendance though... A friend of mine at last night’s game estimated the actual crowd at 1,500.

Woof. I unfortunately have a root canal scheduled for tonight and will have to miss this game.

Thank you, Hill-Murray!

Really? We’re gonna go with superstition on this one?

I heard that Andover is 1 of only 25 schools to make the AAAAA football playoffs in 2 of the past 4 seasons, too...

Possibly. I noticed the WCHA patch on the back too. Still think that was more Herter vs Sandelin era.

Well, I can’t be too upset, LOL.

Score?

Thanks, I’ll change it...never mind. I am not in Grand Forks!

Ugh.

The WCHA patch. That was not on the front of the jerseys in the Hrkac era and prior. Pretty certain I was at UND when that was added. https://www.prairiebusinessmagazine.com/sports/hockey/4639361-greg-johnson-left-his-mark-und-hockey

Definitely not Sandelin - I believe Herter circa 1990-1991.

His family will be coming to the Hogg - can’t wait to see them.

I believe the alternative headline on GPL was: "Gopher Recruit Kills it at NHL Combine!"

Goalie Billy Pye - Northern Michigan was down to BU in the title game 3-0...they scored 5 times in the 2nd and eventually won in 3OT.

I think if you're going to load up on AA opponents during the regular season, you shouldn't be allowed to slum it back to A come tournament time. I'm talking to you, Mahtomedi. Suburban school, 92% white, almost $100K median household income. "But we're a small school..."

Yea, it’s going to be a bit different this year knowing he won’t be showing up...

Congratulations, @ringneck28! May I suggest a wedding weekend Sunday morning mimosa and, shoot, what was that other thing again?

Thanks for the plug, @Wilbur . Your check is in the mail. Let’s see some new names on the list this year. Guests of Honor this year include the family of @sprig — you won’t want to miss this.

I’ll take “conversations with my NDSU grad dad that’ll never happen” for $500, Alex... “Hey, son, did you know that NDSU is the ONLY school that has won the FCS national championship in 8 of the last 9 years?” ”REALLY? Well, UND is 1 of only 25 schools to make the FCS playoffs in 2 of the last 4 seasons, so top THAT, dad!”

Raise your hand if you knew that North Dakota was one of “only” TWENTY FIVE schools to make the FCS playoffs in 2 of the past 4 years... Pay that grad student a stipend for digging deep to find that totally meaningless statistic!

St Cloud State after losing like 5 games all year: "OMG! The ice is SOOOOO bad! We'll NEVER beat (looks at notes) American International College now!" I don't care if they were playing water polo instead of hockey, North Dakota should have mopped the pool with Canisius College's jerseys last year, too. No excuse!

Losing to St Cloud State on the road was hardly this year’s Canisius College...
