Win or lose, who is bailing out gfhockey tonight?
-
Too many future NHLers to lose this game. Time for the blue chippers to shine

Well when you play the equivalent of 2 games, regardless of who wins, no argument that the best team won.

3 championships and on his way to 4 since they got a new rink 10 years ago.
Exactly. 1st 10 years are irrelevant. Once he got a facility even 1/4 as good as the Ralph he has been light out.

Sandelin would have had 5-6 titles by now with the talent that Hakstol and Berry have had.

1 goal in the last 4+ periods

They're off. Better pop one in soon or else they are setting themselves up for a weak Duluth goal to steal this.

Who else is complaining? It's over a year since the covid began. Ever thought of changing schools?
Careful what you wish for. Keep too many classes online for too long and take away too many extracurricular activities (player and spectator) and UND turns into Univ of Phoenix.

Who said I agreed with it? The rules were known well in advance and they haven't changed. Pretending this whole thing is some new revelation and complaining about it is equally as void of common sense.
If I'm supposed to be picking up some check at UND, that's news to me. Might have to run over to Twamley next time I'm near campus to see if they've been holding out on me.
Point being that if no one ever spoke up, no rules would ever change. The "we should just be happy they are letting us do something" mentality has gotten crazy.

So out of 64 NCAA basketball teams, none were disqualified at tournament time for COVID under the same testing protocols (?). But out of 16 hockey teams, 2 are already out. That's some pretty crazy statistics.
And despite roster sizes 4-5 times bigger than hockey...none of the major football bowl games were cancelled. Have a hard time believing that all testing has been done equally across all sports.

Keep yelling into the wind about things that everyone has known about and accepted for months on end. Hopefully you eventually get the results you are looking for.
Keep just blindly complying with whatever is fed to you even if it is completely void of common sense.

Ya.....cause that's what everyone who took time off from work, traveled and paid for tickets to go today's games is hoping for.
Gotta be honest, the writing was on the wall with this one. Anyone that poured a bunch of money into this knew the risks given the way NCAA caved to the just flatten the curve narrative.
Meanwhile the rest of the students on campus will be out boozing at various local bars tonight and won't need to be tested 3 times in 72 hours before they return to school on Monday.

To avoid a complete knockout due to positives or contact tracing, I wonder what precautions UND has put in place. Wouldn't they almost need to compartment their socializing to avoid that scenario? I.e. 3 players groups can hang together but you better not all gather as a team?

A very large chunk of the team apparently got COVID in the summer. So, *knock wood* I think we're ok.
The let'er rip mentality worked if that's the case. Stories were abound this summer of UND athletes partying together even to the point of getting party busses together.
-
It's unfortunate. Hopefully all hockey fans including Sioux fans have stated bracing themselves for what seems like the inevitable. Two teams knocked out in under a week.....and there is still 2 weeks until the Frozen Four
-
Typical Bubba UND team. Lots of slaps on the backs and false hope to begin the season, the huge let down turning point of the season.....and another season of maybe just eking into the postseason only to lose right away.

Even with the bad PI calls, the game isn't even close in the trenches.

What level has that happened at? They are usually pretty strict on who is allowed to play up and I've seen very little of it.
Higher level within the appropriate age group.

if you didn’t drive a suburban you weren’t in the club.
maybe that has changed now since I’ve been away from it for 20 years now.
No you pretty much nailed it. Suburban or Yukon XL no more than 2-3 years old (mid or top trim level of course). But there is much more to being part of the club than just having the vehicle. You also must have at least one decal on back window of vehicle advertising which AAA spring team(s) you bought your kids onto the previous year (AAA in name only as the vast majority of the teams have no tryout process and instead are determined by a group of parents kissing a** and pretending to like the couple people in charge of picking the team.......even though secretely no one likes them).
Regular season teams are determined by a tryout process but instead of hiring independent evaluators to slot kids which is something USA hockey will help facilitate, GF does their own thing in house. In Grand Forks you mostly have dad coach evaluators whose careers fizzled out in high school trying to make sure their kids are always slotted on the best team whether their talent warrants it or not. When Steve Johnson hit Hwy 2 to go coach UMC he drug a trail of parents whose lips were still attached to his rear. Too many egos to get all their kids on a AA team? Just create an extra AA team like they did at GF PeeWee this year even though there is only one AA Bantam team for those kids to feed into.
One more thing you can't forget, can't be a hockey mom without black Canada goose down jacket. Without one of those you might as well be from North of Demers.

That's too bad. I wish the players that started had a chance to finish it
