Colorado people have Jost gone after this year.....

Next man up.....

Its going to be a very good time in the big apple....

How far is the empire state building to MSG?

T/Y

From?

IMO, Jost stays 2 years, He stayed at Penticton 2 years and went to a lot of effort to go the NCAA route. He could have easily gone WHL if he was going to jump. I think as long as his game is developing he's in no rush to go to Colorado.

Do we always need to drum something up.... Personally I like the 1st line, or Number 1 line, or the Trump and Billy Bush line, One scores when ever he wants and the other is there to set him up.... I can't believe I said that....

What the heck is Guelp? It would appear that this will be a weekend to pad some stats?

I didn't get to see the game... How did Colton Poolman look and who did they pair their D'm?

will Direct TV show the game?

stupid question.... I have direct tv, can I buy the NCHC package through them?

I would like to see the NCHC go to a 10 team league. There needs to be some vision of what can happen in the future. I may be wrong but the ultimate health of NCAA Hockey has to be a primary consideration. Nation wide hockey is a dynamic growth sport and it would be stupid to ignore the South west as key to that growth. Hockey has taken the left cost by storm and we are seeing kids from non-traditional hockey areas in waves. I sat in the old Ralph and watched college hockey when there were 32 teams and am overjoyed that we have now doubled that. We are not there, we need to do more to nurture the growth. I hope to live to see the days when ASU and USC square off for the PAC-22 conference title. North Dakota is in a unique spot to help facilitate the growth of the sport; we can celebrate the thin air of the top of the peak or we can really help others make the climb as well. The NCHC is healthy. In my humble Opinion, What makes this conference so fun is that as many have stated, these are not big time college sports schools; but they are big time college hockey schools. Each of these universities are committed to college hockey; but none got there overnight. May I remind all that UND had its first home Ice in 1952 and it was called the "Barn." 50 years later after a stop at the Old "Ralph" they moved into the Current "Ralph." In the mean time, they collected hardware in 59, 62, 80, 82, 87, 97, and 2000 before this last banner. I'm not saying that WMU or Miami will get there, but if you have the resources and are committed, these schools have a chance. I predict that ASU and at least 3 other Southwest colleges will make the jump and be successful within 10 years. For the good of the game we love so much, making a national game of Hockey is the best banner of all. When I hear people afraid that the addition of these programs will water down the conference I chuckle, The game is great, the players are there, all that can really hurt this conference is elitism and shortsightedness. Thanks for letting me preach the sermon.

Defense: How many teams in the history of college Hockey could lose 3 D's to the NHL and still not lose one of their top 2? They may be a bit green, but they have great leadership. I would imagine that you would find a lot of college teams would love to have "our troubles" on D.
