Also, see nothing worthy of a press conference.

If anyone is bored, ESPN Classic is showing Dave Christian and the boys and the "Miracle" game right now. Also, early in the game Al Michaels mentions Harrington and says he is "from the Duluth Branch of the University of Minnesota."

"Ownership does not always mean absolute dominion. The more an owner, for his advantage, opens up his property for use by the public in general, the more do his rights become circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who use it." Marsh v. State of Ala. 66 S.Ct. 276, U.S. 1946. While the Court has sometimes put public speech ahead of Private ownership rights, its by no means a decided issue for REA's purposes. The case above referred to a town that was completely owned by a mining company. And since then, the balance has only really addressed such places as Shopping Malls in their capacities as "Modern Day Town Squares." So, the REA MAY be subject to the 1st Amendment as a private actor, however doubtful. The real issue is whether private facilities are subject to their respective state constitutions. If you're super bored, here's a law review article that touches on the issue. THE UNITED MALL OF AMERICA: FREE SPEECH, STATE CONSTITUTIONS, AND THE GROWING FORTRESS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY, 33 U. Mich. J.L. Reform 615

This probably doesn't belong in this thread but, it made me laugh. WASHINGTON,D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of North Dakota quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the North Dakota quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. "We are recalling all the new North Dakota quarters that were recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said Monday. "This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices." "The problem lies in the unique design of the North Dakota quarter, which was created by a NDSU graduate," Shackleford said. "Apparently, the duct tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the coin-operated devices."

Congrats Eddie! "Toronto goalie Ed Belfour made 14 saves to tie Tony Espositio for fourth place on the career victory list with 423. Belfour is 423-276-110 in 16 seasons with Chicago, San Jose, Dallas and Toronto. Patrick Roy tops the list with 551 victories."

More weekend excitement. If Belfour gets the W on Saturday he ties Tony Esposito for fourth on the all-time win list. (423) Not too shabby.

"Don't want to toot his horn too much.....I see harder shots in practice. He shouldn't be a problem." -- Kellen Briggs on Twin Cities Fox affiliate when asked about Zach Parise

Lessard ties it up.

Speaking of 60 goals, what are the chances there is a first team all-american on this squad? If so, who gets the nod?

Boston SiouxFan, I must concur. This has bothered me for quite some time. I don't know quite when it started and I dont know how to put an end to it. But, the unclever chants filled with s-bombs directed at individual players really reflects poorly on UND and all our fans. What really bothers me is that I really haven't seen this anywhere else at the collegiate level. I've been to Hockey East games, ECAC games, Atlantic 10 basketball games, Big East basketball and football games and NCAA Div. 1 basketball regionals. Not once did I hear similar chants. Granted, thats a small sample but why the difference? Any Thoughts?
