Heads-up to those going to the game. Watch for an email with a new confirmation number if you made reservations through the Ralph.

I hope the coaches had a chat with Kunz about that really dumb penalty he took. Gaber has a motor that doesn't quit. All hustle all the time.

That's the biggest issue for me. Their broadcast is top notch, but we will miss Holden.

Because they are only televising eight games and the playoffs, and none before January. There are 192 league games and dozens of non-conference games that they could pick up at least a few more. Fox Sports has affiliates everywhere and did a great job when they were showing every Sioux home game before the NCHC started up. Certainly I would not expect CBSSN to televise all possible games but eight? How about one game each weekend?

I had really hoped that the league would kick CBSSN to the curb but they renewed the contract (last year?). Eight games and the playoffs. Eight. Pathetic. The best league deserves a network that is actually interested in broadcasting college hockey!

It's time.......

Here's the response from Bridgestone Arena. I'm a little concerned about "for the time being". Thank you so much for reaching out to us via the Bridgestone Arena website. We strongly recommend using the CLEAR app but will be checking proof of vaccination / negative tests at all entrances for the time being. Please look for Health & Safety Check Point signage at all entrances to present your physical, printed, or digital proof of vaccination / negative test.

I will post their reply.

Haha. Poor choice of words on my part. But don't give me that rural stuff - I don't live in the middle of nowhere but I can see it from here (and it isn't Seattle).

Yeah I got it. I thought a photo copy of your vaccination card (or the card itself) would get you in the door. Doesn't look like it now. I sent them an email for clarification.

Great story.

I agree.

Two tickets for the Nashville game on October 30th. Section 311, row A, seats 15 and 16. $85 each - face value including TicketExtortion fees. Email dckcid18@gmail.com

A word of caution - check your credit card expiration date. If you are a subscriber back to the inception of nchc.tv you are guaranteed the original price (about $89) as long as you continue your subscription. My credit card that they had on file had expired so I was charged the current price. They made it right but it took a few emails to straighten it out.

It bites when someone says they are coming back only four months ago and now in late August they leave. I would think San Jose upped the money a lot. Otherwise what changed since April?

Well crap. Tickets for Spokane went on sale yesterday (which I didn't know) and sold out in 40 minutes. Plan B I guess.

Thanks. Spokane on the 26th it is!

Do you know when?

Carolina and Nashville about to go to OT for the 4th consecutive game. Nashville started playing defense (i.e., to lose) in the second period when they took a 3-1 lead. I give them no chance of winning this game.

Well ya!!

I'm picking Sanderson for the Hobey.

So what is the measuring stick of who "can or should be playing high school hockey"? Only kids that have a shot at playing at the next level?

Not very good. I can see UND being hurt in the short term by all the 5th year players at other schools but will be in better shape long term as the recruiting classes mature.

I was leaning towards SCSU but reading a few posts that reminded me of their over-the-top stance on the Sioux name and their butt hurtedness when they weren't initially invited to join the NCHC has me reconsidering. I like the idea of keeping the trophy in the conference though. And I'm not a fan of an east coast school winning. Can they go about 8 OTs and call it a tie?
