I could go along with what you were saying until this last point. You say they don't have an arena which seems to be a negative but then follow it up by saying flights are cheap... which seems contradictory because it is a positive. Am I missing something?

Nah...

That's not fair to lump those teams together... Bemidji State actually has a decent hockey program

Saw that earlier but didn't realize he was an early departure, was he a junior last year? EDIT: Nvm, saw he was a sophomore.

I'm crossing my fingers for the regular season. It's the Ryder Cup the weekend of the exhibition so I'm really hoping I don't have to miss the banner being raised.

...I accept your apology

I called Tambellini bush league, not anyone else... So not sure what you're talking about?

Not much lol it's pretty simple. Can be done inside a day if the player is already accepted to UND.

Hah! This made me chuckle

Probably thinking that's what happens when you stick it out and play for a great college hockey program... tbh we were and are a stronger team without him. There was no love lost from the fans or the players when he bolted.

Pretty sure JT Miller's move was seen as pretty bush league within the college hockey circles... I think Schmaltz decides before then. I honestly think he's just making sure he makes the right decision which is fine IMO. It is only May 5th.

Huh I didn't know South Americans were known for their pumpkins...

All I know is that he was playing golf at King's Walk with Brock Boeser recently while Boeser had an interview with the Vancouver Sun Also, Boeser was going for the green on hole 3 in two shots. I wouldn't expect anything less.

I honestly am just happy to be getting 2 years out of him after winning a national championship and scoring 60 points in his freshman season. He could be ready for the show next season. I'm looking forward to the "NHL player playing in the NCAA" comments from Motzko and coaches around the country next year.

If you were worried about Boeser still jumping to pros, this article seems to put that to rest: http://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/iain-macintyre-canucks-top-prospect-boeser-elevates-his-game-on-same-page-with-team-about-his-future

Gotcha No kidding, thought that was crazy he went that far but it was worth it! You think he drove or flew?

Didn't know where else to put it, please forgive me and I'll take my 23 lashes.

Boeser with a pretty cool gesture in taking this girl to prom. Especially, going out of his way to find the mom after the girl's twitter was deleted. I love the quote from her son after asking him who Boeser is: 'Are you serious? He's one of the best hockey players in the country. That's amazing'. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/4025571-und-hockey-brock-boeser-take-grand-forks-student-down-syndrome-prom

How many afternoon games has Wisconsin played vs night games? That would be more interesting to me to know instead of just comparing non Friday and Saturday games.

Apologies, I was using guy in an asexual sense. My wife knows more about UND hockey than the majority of fans at The Ralph each night.

I always picture them to look like the diehard fans that are really into the game being played and have a strong handle on the current state of the team/program when they talk. I'm sure there are exceptions but this is what I usually think.

I always think of that at UND games (home & away). I generally think to myself who looks like a ss.com guy and which user they might be.

Yup, completely agree with everything you and Schlossman have already stated. Why leave a great conference and pay $1.5MM to do so?

I had someone in the section above me yell "Go Hawks" during 5-10 games at The Ralph. Honestly, I usually looked at them in shock because I wasn't sure if it was real or they were mocking the name. Maybe people were mistaking this for dirty looks? I'm probably not too concerned with "dirty looks" from people. If they become vocal is when I'll tell them to shut up because we are both cheering for the same team.

You just made up a situation that you "guaranteed" will happen and then got mad about the people you "guaranteed" will do it. And anyone who does not take your GUARANTEE at face value is delusional? Can we at least wait until it actually happens to complain? I'm sure your guarantee is rock solid and all but I'd rather not jump to conclusions. If this makes me delusional, I suppose I'll just have to cope with it.
