No flaming here... some very good, valid, and reasonable points made. I guess I'll clam up too...

From Tim & Swyg this morning, it sounds like Murray is in LA getting his shoulder evaluated by their doctors. That's gonna be a long flight to Mass.... I hope he doesn't have jet lag.

Didn't even think about that... bunch of poop, IMO. To get the thread back... it sounds like official word will be made later today on Bina. I hope the news is good!

100MM hockey arena, and the f*****g basketball team is using it. Pisses me off. Anyway... thanks for the recap PCM.

I'm glad this is happening now... and not while I was in school. That extra hour would've been very bad on more than one occasion. Now I'm in bed by 10:00 anyway.

Good points... but if you can convince me that the team in February had the same fire in their eyes as the team last weekend, I'll eat my hat. They had plenty of heart last weekend, that's for sure. But I don't think anyone can argue that leadership roles and "heart" were all but absent a month or two ago. For me... my glass was half empty, now it's half full. It's good to be a fan.

You think so? I don't recall MG ever dropping the gloves since he's been here... lots of chippy stuff, but I don't remember him ever really punishing anyone...

Oh please... 16 hours is more than enough time to get your legs back for your second playoff game. I remember Mankato a few years ago was playing their butt off to make the NCAA, and simply ran out of gas against a tough CC team. Had they been able to have another afternoon of rest, who knows? I really wish this rule would go away. Attendance figures and ticket sales have shown that it isn't an issue anyway... especially in the last few years. And to the credit of "the Don" and his staff... they'd like to see it gone as well. Regardless, it's something we're stuck with for the foreseeable future.

This certainly doesn't hurt.... er..... hurt us, that is. Herald Link

We could be so lucky.....

Regardless, WPoS is still suspected of being on crack.

Pennies? Are you kidding me? In a building like the Ralph, we throw quarters! Seriously... never seen it at this place or the old place. Chalk it up to good media fodder.

Start Jake at home against Wisco. If we win, Hak is the genius. If we lose, most of us expected it anyway. F**k it. FWIW, my glass has been "half empty" for a few months now. What do we have to lose?

With 6 very important conference games remaining in the season, I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm not saying JB isn't capable, just that now probably isn't the time to start messing with goalie karma. Pulling either of the two who have played a pretty regular rotation all season probably isn't going to, nor should it, happen. JMHO.

He'll be in the lineup. "Anchorage? Glencross turned pro. Reiter and King, the goaltenders, were seniors." Should be an easy sweep.

I'm curious as to why we need to group up behind the net every time we take the puck into the zone on a power play. I mean, is a simple pass from the goalie into open neutral ice a bad thing? IMO, we're wasting lots of PP time this way.

On another note, how do you see the lines changing in his first game back? I really like what Spirko has done playing on the first line... but does he now go to the second line? IMO, I'd like to see him and Zajac kept together... add Murray and you might have a line that can finally produce some goals.

Glas... I agree. Digger... disagree. Digger has made ILB a "glamourous" position in his time at UND, and has sent waves across the D-II football community. His first name alone is a "buzzword" in the NCC, all based on his accomplishments at his position. I say he's qualified, and in the running.

Are you saying he should be out there? There's a difference between being hurt and being injured. If you're hurt... suck it up and play. If you're injured, sit it out... no matter who your opponent is that weekend.

This I gotta see.

I find it hard to believe that this location is best suited in the area of traffic control. And people complain about exiting the Alerus....

Crap.

This has a nice ring to it. I like it. Good point on the CM quote, jk. I guess if anyone would know, he would. Sounds encouraging.
