This was all you needed to say but agree 100%

Ok, I think I misunderstood then. What I thought you were saying was that the only reason they have had success in attracting fans/revenue is The Ralph. In my eyes, The Ralph is a consequence of the program/tradition of winning that has been built, not a cause.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. On one hand, UND started on 3rd and was handed everything so their success shouldn't be a surprise. On the other hand, they're a failure since starting on 3rd and being given the cash cow. Which is it?

I was going to go to the season opener tailgate and football game to cheer on the green and white but I've decided it just isn't worth it anymore. I mean, the UND hockey beat writer tweeted out a photo about the ice going in(which he does every year). After seeing that scoreboard, I'm not excited for football anymore. It's taken all of the spotlight.

Ugh those look terrible to my eye

I would have loved to have Crosby in a Sioux sweater, Crosby Toews Oshie top line? Or does Toews get demoted to the 2nd line?

Hain was a beast towards the end of last year, he made a couple drives to the net that looked like a skilled upper classman.

The first thing I thought when I saw it was how pumped Mafia Man will be I'll admit, they look awesome!

This is exactly what I was thinking, I don't mind a goalie playing with a little chip on their shoulder knowing they have to prove themselves against doubters

About to post the same thing Stoney, can't wait to see this kid light it up. He has the exact mentality we need from freshies coming in.

A tradition unlike any other

Idk Denver's a bigger threat currently and we play them 4x a year!

I'm not mad Goon, just disappointed

Maybe they did?

That was incredible theater, one of the greatest moments in the history of golf. Bethpage and Pebble hold some pretty good memories for him too so maybe just scoop up major #16 and 17 heading into The Open at Royal Portrush

Sandelin sold before that 2011 Frozen Four, hence why UND who dominated everyone else that year and couldn't score on a walk-on goalie.

Boeser was Wisconsin, Ausmus was Denver, Stecher was Omaha(probably forgetting some)... it seems you may need a little “luck” as a coach

That's called PDO for those of you interested in advanced stats or have heard that term thrown around.

Exactly, enjoy the ride while it lasts because no one knows when it's going to be over

I'll never understand why some of our own fanbase mocks and kicks this program when they're down. You'd almost think some "fans" enjoy it more when we're losing just so they can get their potshot in.

Really sorry to hear this, only knew sprig from this board but awesome picture/memory MM shared showing him with his granddaughters winning the grand prize. Prayers to his family and loved ones.

SCSU has to get by the AHA champion first though. I honestly don't think they are that overwhelming of a favorite.

You've lost all credibility(not that you had any to begin with) with this post. Duncan has had a hell of a hockey career and made more money doing so than guys that are having a cup of coffee in the league and battling it out in the A.
