Percentage chance the state title leaves GF this year?

This might work if the independent tourney autobid maybe played a playin for the 16th seed into the tourney... but to take another spot away from a quality team for a crapteenth seed autobid forever is too much.

mssg'd you

Yes.

East: GFC RR Davies South/Shanley West: Minot Jamestown Williston Legacy. Semi Finals: GFC RR Davies South/Shanley Finals GFC RR Champion GFC

Good potential here and addresses to some aspect the largest problem in the industry now.... staffing.

Predictions for the 8 to state?

It will be interesting to see how many jump ship this year before their 2nd year of bantams, I've heard rumors now of a few... or those kids of bantams and leaving the dumpster fire of ND high school hockey.

as in USHL, NAHL or AAA/Tier 1 teams? I think Northstar has announced a few 16U kids, Grinaker and such. Haven't seen a full roster yet, for SF Power either, but I suspect a few more have left the state.

I think a huge opportunity was wasted to promote and give exposure to some in state collegiate hockey programs... i.e. Minot State, UMary, Jamestown, Williston, ......Bottineau even?

And now more universities will use this tactic to escape athletics costs. The template seems to be proving itself successful.

A joke now, but I'm saving this post till after UND takes over management. I'd give this about a 99.7% chance of happening.

I read the story in the Herald, I see now it was first a piece on WDAY. So the ..... running to the Heraldo was not correct, good correction. So who ran to the WDAY to publicize the garbled removal. Either way the entire thing was fumbled worse than Biden on a broken teleprompter.

based on the track record of effort in reporting from that rag, Id reeeeeeaaaallly doubt they sluethed the story out on their own.

Couple things here... first, whats up with the badger tee? They can't rubber wang our statues... only we can runber wang our statues! wth? But moreover, nickname or no nickname, who thought this was a good idea at this stage of the game, how did they not expect this exact thing to happen? Just some really foolish planning and execution. But to pull it already basically sounds the alarms of defeat. I'd have just rode out the first wave of people plopping suction wangs and inappropriate photos and let the novelty wear off, antentions spans being what they are....... Now every time its moved or placed its a novelty, a string to a cat so to say. The even worse way to handle the situation was then to go running to the Heraldo..... its like a comedy of errors in planning, execution, and response, and most of all timing.

I suppose angry intermidgetal red-haired drunks of decent of the emerald Isle have station to be offended.

And it was ok, its a cool bit, but none of those players were Fighting Hawks. It is near to see them skate it out though, very cool for them I would think as well.

Based on the young mans track record at this point its fair to question which username he's actually using on here to fluff the situation for him..... Or did he just do that to get some girl more playing time, or to get a coach fired? Sorry, stoke his/your ego all you want, but dude killed a scholorship spot a day before class started. Its not just about him, his timing and decision also screwed over another hockey player..... ....as well as his team. An opinion on his character is very fair.

Hope they do period correct uniforms... that would be awesome. Eddie comes skating out rockin some 400lbs leather pads from '88......

So we had TambelLEAVEi... Shall we go with: WeatherBYE JasFAIR WEATHERby or Kneelly McFucksoverhisteam That last one might be a bit harsh, No matter, next man up I guess.

Basically the only options, its even too late to poach a guy that was set to play NCAA this year. Only other option is to pull a Wisconsin and poach offer some kid somewhere who was maybe pushed back and asked to play another year of Jrs.

Schloss article references Matt Greene and Bochenski also about this time per year.

100% is, please dont kid yourself. Whether you want to believe it or not, the stances he took did create friction in the room. And out of it. And yes it did cost some donation dollars to the program. Thats a fact. So yes that is detrimental to the team. I'd say bailing on August 23rd is a bit detrimental as well, but symantics at this point.
