Thanks geaux_sioux - I really needed that.

I see at least two leaving early - Gersich and Wolanin. I don't see either of them having much of a career in the NHL, if at all.

Pogo

Always one of my favorites.

FYP

You're right - they don't.

CC got totally screwed on DU's 2nd goal - I can't imagine a more blatant kicking motion

I would settle for two this weekend.

And the Sunday game will go to OT!

Who was it in '82 - '83?

I kinda think the NHL might approve the Seattle Whatevers: http://sports.mynorthwest.com/422796/report-nhl-seattle-gets-to-25k-season-ticket-deposits-in-1st-hour/

This is an interesting article that talks about how the NHL could have a leg up on the NBA if they are here first. Here's a quick history lesson first. About 10-12 years ago the Sonics "asked" the city to make $200M in renovations to Key Arena. Since the city had made $200M in renovations about 10 years before that, they said no. So the owner of the Sonics (Howard Schultz) decided to sell the team. The buyer (Clay Bennett) said he would really try to keep the team in Seattle. Yeah sure he would. The team moved to Oklahoma City, where coincidentally Bennett lives. The commissioner of the NBA (David Stern) said quite angrily "Seattle will never have an NBA team again!" It wouldn't hurt my feelings if bringing an NHL team here keeps the NBA out of town. Good riddance http://mynorthwest.com/910941/nhl-team-reduce-nba-chances/

Here are a few artist's ideas: http://mynorthwest.com/910991/keyarena-design-photos/

If St. Cloud goes into the tournament as the number 1 overall seed (which it looks like they will) and UND is a number 4 seed (which looks very likely), St. Cloud will get sent to a different region.

It will be interesting to see how season ticket sales go. They go on sale March 1. https://nhltoseattle.com/

UND has lost every game that they scored a shorty this year. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Just brutal

Says it all

Or watch a player skate to the bench while the action is in the other end!!

I thought the idea of the NCHC was to get a league of "like minded" schools. Doesn't that include a decent ability to televise games? This is absolutely the worst I've ever seen!

Here's a telling stat for this year's team, which probably is no surprise to anyone. The top three scorers by ppg are Wolanin .8333/g (T87), Gersich .7333/g (T134) and Mismash .6429/g (T229). The numbers are before last weekend. There were a couple of teams that the top three were close to these numbers - '14-'15 Cags .8571 (T46), Parks .7619 (T69) and J. Schmaltz .6667 (T106) and '13-'14 Rocco .9286 (T35), Parks .7143 (T106) and MacMillan .6842 (T154). I went back to the '05-'06 season. There were 4 teams where the top three were all over 1 ppg - '15-'16 (CBS), '10-'11 (Frattin, Knight and Gregoire), '06-'07 (DOT), and '05-'06 (Stafford, Zajac and Oshie).

I have a buddy that is a Northeastern fan. He and all the Northeastern fans were certain that they would beat UND in 2016. Didn't quite work out how they thought it would.

I'm predicting a 5-1 game, but I have no idea who gets the 5.

Two tickets in section 306. $20 each. Text 425-985-6965
