Thanks for the feedback all!

OK Siouxsports, I need some help. Here is the situation. Party of four. I hoped we could enter the arena together - tickets are on my phone. Problem is the CLEAR app. One of the people in our party doesn't have a smart phone, so no CLEAR app. So he has to go to a different entrance and show his vaccination card, but then doesn't have a ticket and has to wait (latest info says at least 30 minute delay) in line. His wife has the CLEAR app on her phone but it doesn't look like a phone will let you enter two people on the CLEAR app on one phone. So she could go with him if she loads the Ticketbastard app and I transfer tickets to her. She tried to enter his info on her ipad but that didn't work either (she has an iphone). So here is what it looks like: 1) Bite the bullet and I transfer tickets to her phone and they wait in the 30 minute line. 2) He bites the bullet and buys a smart phone and downloads the CLEAR app - not likely to happen. 3) We find someone that has two phones and loans him a phone and he downloads the CLEAR app. 4) All four of us go to the 30 minute line. 5) We say screw it, this has turned into a major pain in the ass and give away the tickets. Given that there aren't even mask requirements at nearly any place in Nashville, the requirements to get in the arena appear very draconian, but it's their ball so we play by their rules or go home. Suggestions?

It's OK. Some of us have that problem from time to time too.

I gotta disagree. That was THE WORST non-call ever.

Tough loss but hopefully lesson learned - just have play 60 minutes every game. I think this is a good team but it will take a while to be a great team.

Yeah I think a note to Fenton is in order. After eight years I would like to think that DU could put up something at least watchable. Maybe hire a couple high school kids.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the announcers. Homers but very fair. Duluth should pay attention.

I'm going with the camera work. Not good.

So far the better team is in the lead. Let's hope for a better effort in the 2nd and 3rd.

Just wondering. Do they have the talent to cover both programs? Do they have the equipment? Doesn't Alex live in Sioux Falls? I'm sure if he had the choice of a trip to GF versus staying in Sioux Falls he would prefer to sleep in his own bed. Really would like to hear people's thoughts on this topic,

Sioux pull-over

Which raises a question - when the TV contract with Midco is up for renewal, does Midco say goodbye to UND hockey?

I think both those slackers need another two years at UND to properly develop. OK, you're right - they need three.

Vegas wins 4-3. I don't agree with the call on their 4th goal. Player lifted his skate off the ice - looked like a kicking motion

It will be a tough start for the Kraken with five players out due to covid protocol.

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. Please visit our FAQ page for more information about our new policy: https://www.bridgestonearena.com/bridgestone-arena-protocols

I will post their reply.
