LOL, I guess she has them.

I would like to say I wish I could be there this year, but I am going to be in Kauai for my honeymoon. I'll definitely be having a Mia Tai or some other tropical drink as I watch the games. I'm hoping that I can watch it on TV not on my phone. I'm going to be getting the idea into my wife's mind about attending next year though. She is a Sioux fan so it probably won't be to much work to get that going.

I can't remember either. Maybe if we just hand the team the minnemosa's they will be happy?

This weeks sweep tells me a lot about this years team. I saw a team that came out to prove a point in game one and then came out to reiterate that point in game two. I like that they didn't let up in game one at all. Then in game 2 I really like that they responded to the 1st goal and said, here is 3, now what else to you have? I can see this years team making a deep run. Oh and btw, Minnemosa's all around after that Siouxeep.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make an observation about this post. As captain of the team, does anyone else realize that Berry talks with him. I would have to say that these quotes are from a conversation that Berry had with Poolman. I have heard Berry and other players say these same things in various interviews throughout the year. Now with Poolman saying them in this interview, he is setting the bar for next years team. He is sending a message from the coach to the players coming in and returning next year. I would argue that the Poolman family is the current family of UND hockey, like the Lamoureaux family used to be. I would also argue that Colton knows that next years team isn't going to put up with the stupid penalties that this years team was plagues by. Reason being, the benching of the "A" during the 3rd period of the 2nd to last regular season game. It is the captain that enforces this behind the scenes. I expect there to be a lot of changes next year and those changes start now. Colton is making sure the bar is higher and is done now.

I am not going to be down there for the second year in a row. I definitely need to get to the Hogg for the traditional Mimosa on Sat. morning of FF or something like that in the next few years.

I did modify it a bit by just giving fruit juice if they got a split. So with them getting a single point out of the weekend, each player received an orange slice. We don't want them to think that they are going to quench a thirst by not winning. You will have to let us know is this is acceptable?

Looks like the boys are going for the fruit juice again tonight. They don't get the Mimosa. It does suck that there were 2 players in the stands last night who would have been a Sr and Jr. respectively. That is just part of being such a respected program. This team is just bitten with not having anyone who can finish consistently.

So if I am hearing you all right, we need to break out the mimosa's?

I think you hit on the most important part of filling the stadium. No one wants to go watch a team that is not putting the effort in. In saying this, I have a feeling the second half of this season is going to be one that is going to be great. The team is finally healthy and hopefully Brad can get out of his own way on the bench. IMO, this stadium is going to be full in the next few series.

if anyone is interested, ESPN3 has the Providence BU game streaming.

LMAO, I log on for the first time in months and this is what I see. I just can't get away from the mimosas.

That's our Mafia Man

The only thing I can say about this game is, most of the fans were going to be happy with a split this weekend. The team accomplished that and now lets hope for more.

The one thing that I am not seeing at the NCHC that I saw at the X is all the fans from other teams showing up. I remember seeing fans from all the other schools there because of the tradition of the Final Five. Yes I think I saw 2 fans from SC and a smattering of UMN fans at the TC, but nothing like it was at the X. That will not come back for a while no matter where the tourney is.
