If he could just get his first one, man, he could be a catalyst.

Jones was an overager in a high scoring league, too.

Alright.

This means relatively nothing to me in regards to how I feel about the rivalries. Why are we doing this??? It's not frickin' happening. UGH, what a dumb thread.

As far as rivalries go. To me it's this: 1) Minny 2) DU 3) Duluth 4) Wisconsin 5) St. Cloud Michigan and Notre Dame are nowhere near that Top 5.

You'd choose Michigan or Notre Dame over SCSU, Duluth or DU? It's not even close, in my book.

Wait, what?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok.... wait... are you serious??

HAHAHAHA that was soooo adorable, Pump It Up. Happy Monday, guys!

Senior weekend seemed to motivate Miami, big time. That is another factor here. Lots of guys knowing this weekend could very well be their last at the Ralph. They control if it is or it isn't.

But, it's not. A win tomorrow and we're back to where we started tonight. Another must win on Saturday and they're 2 for 2 in these, so far. Still control our destiny. This loss was incredibly disheartening, however.

*sigh*

Good to see Hoff tonight and having Simo on the fourth. Rhett out.... UGHHHH.

Ah, I got ya. Yeah, but in that scenario, we'd have won two games to get to the X. I don't think it would kill us.

Good call. I'll adjust it.

In the 5 potential NCHC games? Three, actually. 1 in the first round, 1 in the semis and 1 in the third place game. But, we'd have 2 wins in that five game span, too.

Yeah, this assumed we'd only play 4 more games total, of course. Even if we don't make it to the Frozen Faceoff, I think we'd still be a lock with those numbers. We'd lose two games against teams that are at worst 24 in the PWR right now (CC) and at best, 10 (UMD).

Or win the NCHC tournament, but I get what you're saying haha.

Right?? I think our attitude around here and our team's inconsistencies have kind of hidden the facts a bit. In all honesty, seeing this now... it will take close to a meltdown for us to not make it.

For this weekend: Sweep -- #10 or 9 likely, 8 or 7 possible Split -- #12 or 13 likely (I'm actually a little surprised this isn't worse. Same with being swept) Swept -- #14 or 15 likely For the regular season: 4 wins -- Lock 3 wins -- Lock 2 wins -- Very likely in, but we'd need to avoid conference tourney upsets 1 win -- Firmly on the bubble and likely needing help Big, big, big, big weekend at Oxford. Get it done, men.

Hahaha this make you a curmudgeon?? The link didn't work! Anyway, I was just asking if he was making a joke or being a curmudgeon and continuing on picking at that team. I think he was making a joke (by pointing out that the Final Five doesn't exist). Still can't figure out if you're upset at me or the other dudes haha.

This is absolutely how YOU feel about this. It's an honor for guys like you and I because we are not elite athletes that are that close to winning a gold. Canada was on the doorstep of being the most dominant team in Olympic winter sports (would have passed the Soviets with 5 straight gold medals) history, but they lost. Not many sports are team sports in the Olympics. So, when you're competing against a clock and the emotion is different. In hockey, you are directly battling someone in front of you and when you lose at that level, it hurts. Individual sport.... your last run, race, sprint, etc., EARNS you the silver. Team sports.... your battle results in a loss to your direct opponent at that time and you are given the silver, because of a loss. Completely different. D@mn right. She didn't throw a tantrum. She just simple removed the medal because it disappointed her.

Nope! I'm with ya. The U.S. did this four years ago. Those women worked their tails off for four years to wear a gold medal, not a silver. They were disappointed. I see no reason to be upset about this. In hindsight, when they've stepped back, they can realize the accomplishment. In that instance, after that battle and coming up short, the response seems incredibly reasonable. Ugh, the DailyMail and their dramatics.

*Cough* Big 10 *Cough*

Wait, what's a purse fight? Am I the one judging or are they? Who am I purse fighting with? Am I not holding my tongue or are they not? So many questions!

I'll be completely honest, I don't know a lot about this kid other than he's a beast size wise.
