SIOUXpucks

Wow, nice hands Ryker Lee. 1-1.

How was that not an ESPN top play?! Maybe I missed it. I can only stand watching so many dunks get highlighted!

well considering how many people in here always use the phrase “it’s always a home game”, the comment seems to just agree with that. Credit him for mentioning a great atmosphere and great experience for the kids.

Maybe this has been said elsewhere as well, but I’ve heard that Raboin was approached and turned it down. 😂

As others have speculated, you just KNOW the NCAA will swap Duluth into the Sioux Falls region.

Local to the Twin Cities and maybe he's only around for one more season, I don't imagine UND would be appealing enough for that change.

Despite the posted numbers, attendance was definitely light at the Ralph this past weekend, and I really wonder what it'll be like next weekend when even the season ticket holders have to pony up $52-$62 for tickets. I'm not sure if REA or NCHC sets those prices but I can imagine a lot of empty seats. Seems like gouging to me and they should be priced lower to ensure more butts in the seats. It's also sprint break for UND and the public schools, which isn't going to help sell tickets. More butts at less $$ is better than an equivalent $$ from less butts and higher ticket prices. Fill the place up and make more money on concessions, although "dollar dogs" would also be a nice touch!

Yes, on Midco but not as advertised on the guide, and the quality of the feed is not great, so one can watch live, the web stream may provide a better visual experience. If one wants to record to watch delayed though, at least Midco allows for that option.

Agree with what you're saying and so many more kids should just stay put, but sometimes I wonder if billet families may be a better influence on some kids than some of the overbearing real parents that are pushing some of these kids and not being realistic. Some parents are pretty poor role models, but I like the idea of kids staying home to play with their friends and try to have some fun. Like you said, if it's gonna happen, there will be opportunities after high school and if those aren't there then, people are indeed delusional thinking they're going to make it big. I would say that for some of the higher end kids, maybe a senior season away might be ok, but leaving as sophomores or juniors is silly unless they're truly showing elite skill and dominating everything.

I should have obtained a copyright for the "G Spot" nickname for the Grand Casino when I first used it back in Oct

It would be nice if there was more competition for the US and Canada but I find the game pretty entertaining and fast and skilled enough to be worth tuning in. Yes, I wish they'd allow checking and yes it could be faster and more skilled, but it can still have drama and excitement when the games are close. While not perfect it's a 100x better than the WNBA

You've been on a nice roll the last two series with you picks (really nailed last week), and given the prediction for this weekend, I hope your hot streak continues!

And I deleted my original. I hope the clarification helped, but I also don’t want to make enemies or piss people off on a site where the aim is to simply have fun talking UND sports.

Saw a picture of his lacerated arm. It was nasty. Happy to see that he’s back and has gotten a goal again.

I wasn't personally trying to take a shot at Gavin's mother by using the 'wh*re' word, but rather that was something listed in one of the tweets/stories I had seen, the Coakley guy using that term and setting Gavin off. I was simply trying to hypothesize a situation (and jokingly mind you, hence my "kidding, kidding") where the drunk ass would be motivated to use such language. People joke about Corey Perry and Bedard's mom and people make cracks about a former UND captain and his antics toward other players' girlfriends. I'm not judging anybody in this case (except the asshat who was a jerk and got punched for it) and do not think of McKenna's mother in any negative way. I'm sorry my attempt to jokingly come up with a fictitious reason for the guy to act the way he did offended you so much and to any others similarly offended, I apologize to you as well. But again, to be clear I do NOT think that of Gavin's mother and the use of that word was not my own thought but something I saw quoted elsewhere.
