One of the reasons for our situation(IMHO) is fan pressure. These young men are exposed to a ton of pressure with all the social media that fans utilize. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't missing an open net considered a result of gripping the stick too hard as they say. The fancy rink, all the NHL connections, press conferences, social media may be too much for the average or slightly above average college player. Elite player (Toews, Oshie, Parise) relish that spotlight and pressure. The CHL has basically took our high end players that we needed to hit the net and forced the role players into that role. Just my thoughts on this sickening morning.

That would be awesome, TH on Iheart? fricking job I have never wanted to be in Minnesota this bad, even when the drinking age was 19.

Drake is ahead, Rocco needs us.

Viewing opportunities (or even listening) for a poor soul stuck on a job in the middle of nowhere and likely on the road at gametime?

clowns with frowns

maybe

and Miami wins

Corbin Knight as fourth shooter beats Tim Thomas for the win

chyzyk scores 3-2

Top cheese

Pull a Blais, and get yourself tossed

A junior gold parent from Watford City told me that they had to really watch the rosters on the Fargo teams as there would be players on the list that were not at the game or added after the game. These players were on the high school team and played junior gold after the HS state tournament. The Fargo teams would be beatable all year and untouchable in the tournaments until the league caught on to their shenanigans. I guess they elevated their game. I suspect the Devils Lake team in Bantam A-2 did the same thing this weekend. 2-18 on the season and come in and kick butt. They are going to have to require photo IDs pretty soon.

and when it's forty year old men bringing it up on the interweb it's usually sour grapes

rocco

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't BC have a weekend off between the conference tournament and the regionals?

It's Blais messing with your heads, fire hak

Thank You captain obvious

It would be an interesting survey to determine the age of persons demanding more (nattys) from the program. It has been mentioned that some are unhappy with Hakstol's staunch position on sticking to his game plan and not making in game adjustments. Is this perhaps how the Final Four disappointments came to be? Not because he didn't adjust, but other coaches (curse you -Jerry York) were able to develop a plan to defeat the Sioux?

Going to be in a hotel room in Grafton, anyone know if I have a chance at watching on TV?

Kinda makes me miss Sweeney. If only he had thought of the "Traditional Circle of Sticks".....

Well played

Do you guys ever wonder if there is a crazed fan out there? In their mom's basement, vicariously living their life on the internet. Following Sioux hockey like day follows night. What if looney Bob decides the only way to change our misfortunes is through an act of violence? What if "Fire Hak" is his rally cry? What if he thinks REA is a curse? Maybe everyone should just take a deep breathe and look at what else is going on in the world before we incite ol' Bob.

Wow, North Dakota nice has fallen a long ways.

Halfway through the 3rd period, Gothberg skates to the corner and is greeted by 3 topless bulldog cheerleaders and in his hasty retreat toward the crease, he inadvertently bats the puck in the net. The refs witness the display and give the Bulldogs an extra goal out of pity and ask the ladies to keep their tops on.
