Totally. Thought for sure Olson would get a 5.

Don't recall seeing a pep band at Magness. Wonder if it's the Cherry Creek High pep band and cheerleaders?

So is it true that the Avs chose not to sign him last year and now this year he'll become a free agent and can sign with whomever he wants?

Rumor has it, when CC fired Owens, they were interested in Basin being he had ties to the program (former assistant) but he wasn't interested. He was interested in building Lowell into a powerhouse program and thus far, I think he's succeeded. Being upset two weeks ago to a Notre Dame team they had recently easily beaten doesn't diminish Basin's accomplishments of turning the Riverhawks into a Hockey East power and national contender, IMO.

Question: what does the NCHC receive for $$'s from the NCAA for having a team(s) make the Frozen Four and/or winning it all? Also, if our conference receives any money, is it equally distributed among the member institutions?

I'm going to bed. Wake me up if ND pulls a Miami of Ohio from a few tournaments ago...

Wonder if Jeff Jackson took this approach with his boys during the second intermission?

If Monty wins tonight and again on Saturday, I wonder if an NHL coaching gig will come his way? After all, he was a finalist for the Calgary Flames gig last year.

I'm going out on a limb by predicting DU wins this game. That said, I wonder if Duluth will try to muck it up with the Pios on Saturday?

After lots of first hand experience watching DU, it looks like the Pios are playing the CC Tigers!

When will we hear 'saucy mits'?

I wonder how that Priest on the bench for ND can handle all the f-bombs? His ears must really hurt!

From my vantage point in Monument, CO that was a goal.

Who's debate team is better?

Yah, so?

Wow, what a missed trip!

And then a teammate could've distracted the refs and another Duluth player could have come in from behind with the brass knucks!

I give him a 10 for that dive!

The Harvard guy who just yelled at the ref, "How was that not a hook?!" reminded me of Caggiula last year.

And yet the prices they charge for tickets! Sounds penny wise and pound foolish.

About to watch the Avs/Blues game which will be the first for Jost. I won't lie, I wanna reach through the tv and punch McNab, Mike Haynes, and crew in the eye! They're going on and on about Jost (and rightfully so) but it's just a little raw for me just one week removed from UND's season coming to a startling end.

Yah, did guys like Ryan Bayda ever get a whiff of the show?

Olson definitely deserves to wear a letter for what he does on the ice and in the locker room.

Point taken but no guarantee UND will make it to the big dance to play a blue blood like Arizona year in and year out. How much financial benefit did UND get out of that game?
