The skyway entrance was quick and easy. Out of the way for most people but I was happy I entered there.

Except on Friday. Why would you want to see that?

I heard that too...it's a mistake. pretty funny that they let a big one like that go.

I see nothing wrong with this. IALTO

I'm going to call him General of the Goons from now on

Should be a great game, it was a fun one last night. Go Bulldogs! IT was the first time that UMD has won back to back games in Grand Forks since 1995 (they won the Saturday game at the Ralph last year)

DHG Gonna DHG IALTO!

About ready to leave for the Forks...Go Bulldogs!

He was the best. Miss the guy. Good to know. thanks. Sounds like we will do that one night. I don't recall this happening, but I could have easily forgotten something like that. Didn't know this. Excellent to hear though. Shall make the game more fun.

UMD very well could be. They've played so well in November and December. I will be stunned if UMD gets swept, they're just a good road team. Thinking it will most likely be a split but UMD took care of business in St. Cloud (for the first time in 15 years) and perhaps they'll do the same (they last swept in Grand Forks in the 90's sometime I think). I'm assuming that because UND didn't have their usual slow start in the first half that they will do the opposite and have a bad second half.

Question: which bars downtown offer shuttles to the games?

Style of play is pretty usual for UMD, one or two NHL potential defensive players with smaller yet speedy guys on offense. Scoring is more balanced than teams of previous years. UMD's played the number schedule in the country and have won thanks to great leadership from second year captain, Adam Krause. As for top freshmen, Karson Kuhlman is a speedy forward who is fun to watch. Coming into this year they needed some much better goaltending if they wanted to compete and boy have they gotten that. Kasimir Kaskisuo (Just call him Kas) has played extremely well. Dominic Toninato is our best offensive player who leads the team in points and, in my opinion, is the best pro prospect on the team. It shall be a fun fun series! I haven't been to Grand Forks for a UMD series since 2007 and saw MTU play UND in 2010.

Making my first trip to Grand Forks for hockey in a while. Should be a great series with huge NCHC and PWR implications. Looking forward to some Tim Hortons and Red Pepper

That is a very good batting average. It's nice to see the NCHC's non-conference record is much better this year than last year. Really has quieted the critics. As for the BI6 conference, given their record so far I bet they'll have one or two teams in the tournament.

I'd be shocked to see that many. Four is probably what it will be.

Well it's early...and beaten any teams in the top 16 lately?

If you're looking for bulletin board material from Ortega...I'd say keep looking. Don't know how you can find anything motivational in that comment. Although I have no idea why he said that same thing. Did UND tell UNO they will never score on them or something?

It destroys it.

I agree with the picks so far and I'll add Wisconsin's home white. Just a classic. If it was unveiled today we'd call it boring and unimaginative. I agree with your UMD jersey comments. Love that they added some maroon to the shoulders (really looks better), the striping is better and the UMD logo with the bridge is one of the best designs UMD has had. I love it. I bought that jersey basically for the shoulder patches.

meh. Polls don't matter. Just keep winning. Russell had a TON of injuries. It was insane how many people were hurt. But he was unable to develop his players and the program and fans treaded into dangerous water. The atmosphere was so bad back a few years ago that my UMD friends who went to a game there, felt bad cheering. It was that dead. A change was needed because the players had quit on him.

Ugh worst jersey ever.

I don't know it seemed pretty jacked up to me. Really fun game, rink was packed (btw it was a record crowd that surpassed the Saturday UND game from last season) and it was LOUD! I couldn't hear the band play when we scored. It was a huge sweep for this team. With our improved goaltending and depth this is going to be a fun season. Can't wait until we visit UND in January. Will be my first UMD trip there in a long time. And it's shaping up to be a great series.

I've been multiple times. I'm a college hockey junkie and I enjoy going every time but the event is not what it once was. I don't think people take it as seriously as they used too. They used to pack that place but now they get it half full. In terms of great college hockey events...it's behind the Beanpot but it's definitely second. JLA is a very basic rink and perhaps you'd want to attend just to say you went to a game there. it's also fun anytime MSU and Michigan play, it's a big rivalry and it's fun to see it live with both bands there and all their fans. Yes they will have nothing but Michigan teams for the foreseeable future. If you're college hockey fan it's worth a trip. I can't wait until the new rink is built and I can see a game there.

It gets old. I called him out on twitter and then he blocked me.

Number of posters declined and only a few dedicated people posted so it was shut down.
