THIS is the rational emotion that we should all have. We're bummed to see such awful luck for him.

People blaming this kid for getting hurt and then basically saying he shouldn't go to the NHL (you look like you're kidding about it, but not others) because of being injury prone are mental. We all wanted to see him more, but it's pretty effing gross to say any of these injuries suggests negatively on his level of commitment or his future prospects in the NHL. Would love ANY one here to saw this garbage to his face. It's clown stuff. Why do we do this crap? It's gross.

Pure insanity how anyone could think this kid is injury prone. Blows my mind. Didn't expect this response to his injury today, but I should have seen it coming. We've got people on here scorning Sandy for, well essentially, trying to save the puck from going into the net to tie a playoff game. The mental gymnastics...

Adorable.

Totally agree with you.

So, this page of this thread is officially ridiculous.

He got hit by a professional in the Olympics and had his hand cut by a skate. C'mon.

Yeah, and he tiptoed around hit. Coward.

I feel like the concept was funny, but he bailed on it too quickly. More of a backstory could have been good. I'll admit, I cringed when he talked about the Omaha incident.

I'll bet it pisses Jake off, too. Regardless of his future, he wants this for UND so badly. He's all in.

Lolol not so sure that's accurate, but who am I to argue, eh?

Upsets would upset (see what I did there?) the crowd that ignores parity in college hockey. If we lose early, just another arrow in the sling of the anti-Bubbs crowd lol. Man, I hope we get a deep run. This team feels like it could do it.

I won't lie, I made myself laugh when I typed it LOL Not a risk for most against me, regardless of the state you live in hahaha.

So, it's just you guessing as to what's gonna happen. Now I get ya ... yeah, I can see that. I still think it's easily possible for them to both win on Friday, either way wins on Saturday, and we're left with the same. I follow, though.

I agree with that, but they are also a team that could punch us in the mouth and we'd never recover. They are absolutely explosive. But, they don't like to be hit or pressured. That will be their Achilles' Heel in the tourney, no doubt. I've seen Mankato a couple times. Very good. Very deep. Incredible structure. Minny is playing great, and DU has basically been great since we swept them. This tourney feels as wide open as it has in a long, long time.

I absolutely want a shot at Michigan. No doubt.

I wasn't implying we'd be sent to Loveland for attendance. I was saying they'd flip our band out east to help attendance elsewhere.

Right, but you are implying it's a done deal they won't be in Loveland. Which is why I asked why you thought that way. If it's just a hunch, that's fine. Was just wondering what made you think that because it's totally possible and a very good chance of it, actually. Buddy, this isn't a wanger-swangin' contest.... I'm asking why you think it won't happen. I'm not challenging your intelligence, here.

Again, feel free to elaborate why you don't think it'll happen. If the season ended right now, we would be the second highest 2 seed and DU the third No. 1 seed. So, it's not super hard to consider them flipping our match up into Loveland to increase attendance elsewhere.

Do you have any insight on this? It's absolutely possible.

Condensed version of The Timeout game I LOVE LaPanta's calls of our goals. It's funny, because after this game and his calls for our goals, he's always incredibly subdued when the opponent scores. I bet he was told to tone it down.

Words are hard and apparently hurt your feelings

I was lucky enough to be there covering the Four for the Dakota Student back in the day and was at his presser when he won it. He was just blown away. Such a great dude. So humble and genuine. Funniest part... They brought the Hobey in to put it on the table he was sitting at and this trophy is kind of a monster. The guy working the presser went to lift it on the table, stumbled back, nearly dropping it, but caught his balance. The audible, collective gasp in the room was so funny and Duncs' face was frickin priceless. He goes "nice catch" to the guy and we all laughed our butts off. I'll never forget that. Dude almost dropped the Hobey in front of everyone hahaha.

They got back together in the third last night. I'm assuming they are trying to balance things a bit and would prefer to not have Montgomery on the third line with Costo and Jammer.

Ford back in! Big, big, big. Johnson sits, Budy is the extra forward.
