Correct, he said he had to talk his mom into the decision to turn pro because she wanted him to come back for another year.

There was an interview that said once he got that contract in front of him & knew he just had to sign to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing in the NHL, he went for it. So might have been a little spontaneous from the sounds of it. Regardless, he is a great proponent for UND's program and it was really fun to watch him while he was here. I wish he would've stayed another year but I wish him the absolute best in his hockey career.

Anyone else worried about Thome overplaying a lot of pucks? I've noticed it in his first 5 games but he never really paid for it. Denver's last 2 goals were scored on essentially empty nets while Thome was on the opposite side of the crease. It reminded me of Eidsness. Thome has great potential but needs to get a little more refined. I'm excited to get Cam back in the net for the stretch run.

Better yet...

Not exactly a pump up video, but everyone should watch Jesse Martin's TedTalk on youtube, so incredible. Basically the dr's said 98% of the people that break the vertebrae he broke die. Of those 2% that survive about 98% are quadriplegic. Regardless of the legality of the hit, I'm honestly just happy we didn't see a college hockey player die at The Ralph that night.

Next year

Yon was one of the few players last weekend that created trouble for Miami with his speed. He's earned a spot on this Friday's roster.

Without looking back at the replay I believe it went: 16 wins faceoff to 9 whose shot is blocked, puck picked up by 16 backhand pass to 8, backhander into a wide open net.

Gersich, not saying he should but he is a flight risk.

Let me know where your next game is, I'd love to come watch that

Hope so too, Borgstrom's 1st goal on friday was the nicest goal you'll see all year. How he roofed the puck from that close after a silly toe drag across the crease seemed to defy physics.

A split is a win Hit borgstrom early and often.

Thanks, edited my post to reflect.

You too? Everyone always ask me what the scores of other games are

Grand Forks residents voted 'NO' to this measure last year and got: 1. Language narrowed down to restrict the tax increase's usage 2. Decreased the jump from .75% to .50% 3. Decreased the length of the tax hike from 50 to 20 years As a result this passed with 76% of the vote. That's how this whole democracy thing is supposed to work I think.

Mine works better if I connect to REA wifi signal. I like it so I can check CHN app for scores in between play/during intermission.

IMO might be more pressure on Thome this week compared to last. New UND goalies are on record saying they 'hate' playing at REA, so much pressure and expectations from 12k diehard fans. Moral of the story: We need to score 1st to ease that pressure.

I asked you for a solution to pay for infrastructure in Grand Forks(which is what this entire thread is about). You provided a very specific and hilarious way to recoup money for a federal program that would not fund Grand Forks' infrastructure. I think UNDBIZ has a valid request.

You're moving the goal posts, I never said any of those things.

To be fair the Big7 does have a better record then the NCHC vs AHA opponents...

This seems practical No need for a tax increase. Let's just stalk people at Hugo's, we'll collect the money in a couple weeks! It goes to the federal government you say? I bet they'll give it right back to us to pay for our roads!

COUNTERPOINT: Give them a hard time

Then where does money come from to improve infrastructure(aka roads)? Like specifically? I'm content being middle of the road but still lower than Fargo, which we would be with this proposed increase. We also have a 0.75% decrease coming in 12 years once the Alerus portion drops off.

One fan?

The point was to expose the fans who don't know anything about hockey at the Kohl Center... it worked marvelously
