Godsmack

From my vantage point DU controlled play almost the entire 3rd period against SCSU but could only muster 5 shots. St. Cloud kept DU to the perimeter and prevented any of those passing lanes and back door passes that DU likes to make.

So who's out?

After the third place game some UND fans were heading out to go over to the Excel.

The Hoggsbreath is one of the must-do items of his annual weekend!

Question: Let's say Duluth, Northeastern, and Minnesota all win tonight. Who's out of the tournament as a result? Would Yale be out?

We were at Target Center today and saw a lady Badger fan with a sign that read, "Hey BIG Hockey, look where I'm spending my dollars!"

My better half came up with a new cheer for Omaha fans: "MOO YAH YAH! YAH MOO MOO!"

So some Gopher fans are still harping on 0.6 over on the comments section of an article in the Star Tribune. It would be a classic dig if it weren't for the fact that the Gophers laid a big ole egg two nights later against Union (thank you Union!).

But then I realized she hadn't because we had more fans at our game!

I'm telling ya, when I first saw this picture, I thought my girlfriend took it at Family Sports Arena in Centennial, CO last Sunday night at my old man league game!

Sounds like my beer league team, Trainwreck, gets more fan support from its girlfriends, wives, and kids than what the BIG tournament is generating.

Well said!

Proper attire required

AND some used water bottles!

I went to the UNO/DU game tonight....wow. What a great game! Wished Omaha had won but they left everything out on the ice. It had all of the intensity of a big time NCAA tourney game. Great pace and flow. Back and forth, end-to-end.

For the newbies, I highly recommend the lobster Thermidor or the steak Oscar.

Quite possibly 3rd stringer Derek Shatzer. Poor guy-he started last Saturday and got torched for 9 goals. Apparently, both Nehama and Marble are hurt. http://m.gazette.com/tigers-hit-the-road-looking-to-surprise-in-nchc-playoffs/article/1571984?_ga=1.161654267.690146560.1444426649

Don't knock Grainbelt! We can't get that out here in Colorado so everytime my folks pass through town, pops brings me a case! -That and a case of Sprecher Root Beer from Menards!

Naw, he's too small. Plus, scouting reports from the ladies say he's a lover, not a fighter.

Godsmack signed a deal today with Trainwreck of the South Suburban Adult Hockey League (SSAHL).

I had originally posted some comments a few days ago pertaining to the Mike Haviland Coaches Show regarding his team's preparation and thoughts of their upcoming series against UND. It's non-UND hockey, of sorts as it had to do with CC. In any event, you can blame me.

You know, with this CC team it wouldn't shock me to see them to either play great or absolutely lay an egg. The CC team that traveled to St. Cloud played phenomenal up there and then rolled over at home this past weekend against the very same team.

I'm listening to the Mike Haviland Coaches Show right now and Coach Haviland argues that CC could very well upset UND this weekend. His argument is that a) teams playing for their lives tend to play more defensive-oriented which results in lower scoring, tighter games (i.e., the sense of urgency may be higher with teams outside the PWR). b) lower tier teams don't have the pressure on them to win as nobody expects them to be successful. and c) he's observed UND scramble around if/when things aren't going their way and if CC can capitalize on that, they'll be successful. First off, I'd defend Haviland in that, what is he supposed to say? -"We're in total awe of North Dakota and we have zero chance of beating them."? Second, CC has tended to play better up at the Ralph than they do elsewhere in the league, I don't know why that is. I think on paper and on the ice, UND is clearly the better team and "should" win but CC will likely play hard as they fight to keep their season alive.

We're going to renew our CC season tickets for next year but if they continue to play like this, we'll drop them. I didn't expect a 20 win season this year but this is pathetic.

Hey MafiaMan, what's the dress code for this? Shall I take in my best bowling shirt to the dry cleaners for this?
