Aren't we past the part where the nickname has any specific meaning/tie to North Dakota as a state?

But that TOURNAMENT game has national implications. Why do they have 80 minutes to decide a game when every other game only has 65? I understand a tournament needs to keep playing to decide a winner but should it have national implications beyond what other games get? I feel like I'm not getting my point across.

Because math... or something

I'm not going to search the rulebook for an answer when I have you

That still doesn't answer the issue it brings up. Why would they get a 20 minute OT to decide a game when all other non conference games are 5 minute OTs? If I had to guess, I'd guess only a deciding goal in the first 5 minutes would be recorded as a win in the PWR and everything after 5 would be a tie. It is an interesting question tho so wondering if anyone can confirm.

I'm pretty sure they did not pick it up last year, so I wouldn't hold my breath this year.

Interesting, suppose they had to move after Block E turned into the Mayo Clinic building.

Thanks for all the info, just booked an express deal for a 4 star hotel through Priceline for $62/night 3/18-3/20. The hotel is the Hyatt Regency if anyone else is looking to book right now. It's 5-6 blocks so not right next to the arena but it's a nice hotel and you can jump on the Nicollet bus to if you don't feel like walking.

You must be new here...

Don't forget to bring the lunch pails.

Buried the lead in the editorial: (Speaking of exciting and high-potential logos, here's a side note for any SME Inc. design professionals who happen to be reading this editorial: Google "Curtiss P-40 Warhawk"—the third most-produced American fighter aircraft of World War II—and try not to get excited about the prospect of featuring that aircraft in UND's Fighting Hawks logo. Just try.) I like the potential

I couldn't find a good thread to put my questions on the Frozen Faceoff so I figured I might as well add another. - Is Al bringing a bus down to Minneapolis? I've never been on one of these so wondering how much this usually costs. - What hotel are most UND fans staying at? I believe last year it was the Marriot City Center so is it the same this year? - Would I be too bold in locking in a cheaper rate by prepaying for a room assuming the boys will make the conference tournament for the 15th(I think?) straight year?

I honestly didn't take it seriously and I don't think it will affect the school's decision to move forward with SME, Inc. Yes, there is a budget shortfall but for only $50k we can close the books on this fiasco and get our logo finalized.

Not saying this is perfect, but it's more towards a geometric type logo that I'd prefer...

When the whole crowd really got into those "Let's Go Sioux" chants at the games it would give me goosebumps. The last time I've heard similar ones were at the Fargo Regional last year. You could feel the crowd trying to will the team to score.

I don't think anyone is stating or insinuating that profanity is intimidating on its own, however it is a product of the charged environment on game days. When I went to the Old Ralph in the 90s, my parents knew I heard some of the chants and they just made it known that I wasn't allowed to participate... and that was the end of it. As a kid, I thought the chants were funny but I knew if I repeated them I'd be in a world of hurt.

Personally, I'm ok with a student section that rides the line but it seems my line of acceptability at hockey games may differ from others. It's much better than other arenas I've been in where students are non-existent. I must be the only one who doesn't mind the "who is he, he sucks s***" chant. Like '808287' said, I love the zoo like atmosphere and the hostile atmosphere that visitors are forced to play in. They've been doing it since I started going to games as a kid and I turned out ok... I think

A concern that has been brought up by many people is having "another bird logo". It has to be somewhat unique so I think people are hanging onto the change that the logo can create some of the unique ties to North Dakota and what we stand for. In other words, we're hoping you can accomplish what the nickname committee failed to do in picking a unique nickname that represents North Dakota specifically. Welcome to Grand Forks and best of luck!

3-0 UND Tomek gets his 1st S/O

Fri: Boeser Sat: St. Clair

The Badgers have 8 wins in a little over 1 1/2 seasons. I think Eaves lost control of his team quite a long time ago.

I think a large part of the equation in the CC comeback was goaltending. I don't usually like to throw goalies under the bus but Cam looked a little too comfortable in letting some soft goals in. I think it may have been a good wake up call for him and hopefully keeps him sharp moving forward no matter the score.

Changing the subject slightly, do we know yet what the puck drop times would be at the X vs. Cincy for the semis and regional finals? or if it's Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun? Will be in Vegas so need to plan my schedule around those times....
