Ah, that makes sense. I guess since their team didn't take many shots after the first period, they tried to make one in writing.

What is the comment in let'sgodu blog mean? "The roughly 2,000 North Dakota fans (200 fans of a real team)......"???

I love Sioux Survivor. Every game I text five players and tell them I'm going to pick them if they don't send me $50. I'm gettin rich! Yon for tonight.

Not if it was last year - he was there.

Probably tore up a shoulder trying to do a pull-up.

What time do they usually announce the line and who sits?

I didn't see the first period but watched most of the second and third. I thought they looked out of sync, poor passing, couldn't get the puck out of their zone to another UND player, and just generally ran around with no cohesiveness. PP is just lousy. Tomorrow night and the series against the goofs will set the tone for the rest of the first half. On the other hand they are 2-0-1. I can see this team getting it together in the second half much like teams in the past. Until then it might be a little hard to watch.

Gersich!!

5-2 Saints. Sioux go on ten game winning streak starting Saturday.

Nothing wrong with 2-0

True, but the other PP unit is also two defensemen.

Gersich!

Wonder why there are two defensemen on the PP? Hasn't there been four forwards in the past? Lack of confidence?

You would think that a staff writer on a university newsletter could form a proper sentence.

The Denver picture is obviously photo-shopped - there are people in the seats.

The monorail goes from Westlake Center (in the middle of downtown) to the Seattle Center. It has two cars - not a reliable method of moving 19,000 people. The buses travel on the same streets as the cars. The last time I took a bus to downtown it took about 15 minutes to get there (about 10 miles) and then about 45 minutes to the bus stop where we were going. The parking garage by the Seattle Center is very small. And one of the groups (one of them withdrew their bid a couple days ago) that wants to renovate Key Arena was talking about building a garage that would hold 850 cars - at a cost of $30,000 per car. It has been said that the mayor doesn't like Hansen and that seems to be the truth - why I have no idea. There aren't too many cities where you have a private investor who is willing to plunk down $500-600M of his own money and the city basically says they aren't interested. But, hey, there will be light rail in about 20 years.

They would be better off accepting Hansen's proposal and building a new arena by the baseball stadium. You can't drive anywhere near Key Arena and there is very little parking. Transit? None. Spending $564M to "renovate" a crappy arena is a crappy idea. And no public financing - we'll see about that.

I heard they announced that all the people in the stands that are qualified to do the Heimlich were asked to come to the Pens locker room after the second period.

This is unreal but it sure is looking like renovating Key Arena is going to happen. Big mistake. http://mynorthwest.com/636026/seattle-keyarena-mayors-leiweke/

I need some help understanding the difference between burning a year and sliding a year. If you sign an ELC and play at least ten games, then you "burn" a year - meaning the first year of your ELC is history. If you sign an ELC and play fewer than ten games then your contract starts ("slides" to) the following season. Is that how it works?

It doesn't prove anything. I just think the defensive part of his game needs more work before he is ready to go pro.

Wolanin did have a great game against BU, but he lost a puck battle behind the net that led to a BU goal.
