LAX...could it be Matt Greene coming for a visit?

hoping he has time blocked out on his schedule for this purpose today!!!!!

I agree with this entirely, on both key points.

man, Carle is younger than Johnny Toews...

ABsolutely, my point in the above is that the same thing applies with head coaching decisions. It takes a lot of courage to pull the trigger on David Carle for example when he was a young boy wonder...it was a great risk that has paid out for whomever was his biggest champion.

It is ironic isn't it how they re-tread failed rather than give somebody new a look. Its that way in corporate America too. I remember before getting a break sitting there and thinking "you won't give me a shake with a proven track record of excellence albeit a click down, but you will hire the dude who has been fired from the job at 3 different companies?!" I then learned the sad fact that many people making the hiring decisions are mostly concerned about fall-out to themselves rather than what is best. Easy excuse if guy fails to say, well he was experienced as opposed to taking a chance and having somebody fail and you having to deal with the consequences. "I told you he wasn't ready for that responsibility yet, but you didn't listen to me"

I just had to look it up. The first games I took her to were Sioux vs Gophers and it would've had to have been the 2007/2008 season. I looked up the schedule and the date. We played the Gophers at home 12/7 and 12/8. The record shows that right around puck drop on 12/8, the temp was -25 without windchill lol

I remember the first time I brought my then girlfriend now wife to a UND game. She had never been in -25 ambient temps with a wind coming across the prairie...she was pretty funny. I told her there's cold, then there's Grand Forks in January cold.

Got my facts on the 1980ish parking deal. There was a street/alley that ran behind the house facing University Park where my dad had lived in the basement during school. On a map it looks like it runs between 2nd and University, parallel to them. The older owner of the property had remained my dad's friend and allowed him to park on the backside of the place for hockey games. I think it was technically illegal, like kinda on the shoulder or perpendicular onto a tiny driveway into a shed or rear garage small structure, or something like that. But there had been a permission given and the owner wasn't going to report him and the police weren't going to bother an unreported parking violation on a back street that wasn't obstructing traffic during a 2 hourish window. We also parked legally in the driveway off University from time to time when the owner was out of town. Funny, looking at the map, it felt like we were running miles as a 5/6 year old...it was probably less than 1/2 mile away. It was cold though, I remember that well!!!

Johnson's coaching ability goes without saying.

only reason this would ever happen is if you are happy with program results and firing a head for issues unrelated to the on ice product

I don't think anybody is lobbying for them to be THE guy right now (at least i'm not), but they have promising careers that might make them nice staff additions supporting a head coach and being groomed

Duloot did have and lose this year's Hobey favorite

i did look, for the record, and it was by a house on the 2300 hundred block where he had lived in a basement when he went to school there in the 70's. Not sure if we parked there exactly. I think he parked on the street behind it. I dunno, I was little and its been 40 years.

? from 43 years ago?

kermit, dead gophers and badgers, the old barn with a smoke filled concourse...my dad had a secret parking spot on University ave we used to run to the rink in the freezing cold...

By the way, I pay homage...as a child I LOVED the farce...it was as much fun to watch you guys as it was the game as a little kid in 1981

depressing on two levels....thanks guys

what if we are all wrong on grammar and spelling and gfhockey is correct? We might be in his universe! said with love GF, you brighten my day on this board, not kidding or beinf sarcastic
