You are right, the old Ralph had a much more different atmosphere then the new Ralph. However, that’s not necessarily due to the students as the issue lies with the REA and the “social gatherers” that go to the games.
It's stale because that's what the Ralph wants, it's not the students. You should've seen it when they opened the Ralph and how they handcuffed the students, it was awful.
They fired dan bylsma one year after firing Hak.
This is what happens when you let spoiled kids run the team. Seattle made the incorrect choice in listening to the players. I don’t feel bad for Seattle.
The only time they will have it better than at UND is if they make it to the NHL right away but even then, they still need to figure out how to manage their time like a professional. Oshie just about killed his career when he left early for the NHL, due to him not being mature enough for the grind of being a professional.
Every player that leaves early says that years later. We should be asking, "how do we keep them for that extra year or two"? Had he stayed, I bet we beat Denver in the National Championship in 05.
Well, at least you learned something. Comprehension isn't something you are good at because I never said he prevented them from winning. I believe what I said was, you can't assume they still would've won if he signed with them because they signed/traded different players that were vital to them winning.
If I remember correctly, his parents played a huge part in him coming to Minnesota. I can’t remember exactly but I think his dad was just starting to get sick too.
