Damn, that explains why the normal KJ morning show didn't exist this morning.

Babcock, really? Now I'll have to go looking for a Mike Commodore rant on the topic, which I'm sure would be entertaining.

Oh daaaaammmmn, that dude got rocked. I have a love/hate feeling on fighting in hockey. I love the excitement boost from a good bout but at the same time I don't want to see someone get wrecked with a concussion or permanently damaged. I've seen enough regarding CTE that I can live w/o fighting in the sport but boy, seeing a huge KO like this is admittedly pretty exciting.

48? That's optimistic. Maybe at some point in the 24 hour period, but current guidance suggests around/sub 40 degrees during the day and the chance of some snow. Lovely!

That sums it up quite well. As a UND fan in attendance it was hilarious in the moment and fun to laugh about after the game at McGovern's, Reids, Alary's () or wherever we went, but then to hear the backstory and realize it was mental health related indeed made it sad. It was a moment to remember but hopefully things came around for him. Checking hockeydb I see that he did have a brief career after college so that at least wasn't his last on-ice memory.

Half reminds me of Gopher Tyler Hirsch at the Final Five who lined up the net from center ice after the game and barreled into it at full speed.

Wasn't aware of the history there and a quick google search returns a lot of negative feelings toward her in the PWHL community. I won't share those here as people can go find all they want, if they want easily enough, and I won't flame her here based on the small sampling of what I read, but hopefully things can get turned around for her.

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.
