That was someone else, not me. I am not going because I am sick of the Target Center and sick of how the tournament is run.

I don't miss Hakstol. The program is bigger than any one coach or player and we'll be fine in the long-run. I believe we lost 9 regulars from last year's team; that is the biggest single season loss we have sustained in a very long time. You just cannot expect to replace all of them in one off-season. Look at Boston College: they won titles in 2008, 2010 and 2012 and missed the NCAA's in 2009. I think their fans are happy with that trade off, as most of the people on this forum would be. Having said all that, the season ain't over until it's over.

I do not believe we are headed for an extended period of below average teams. This streak of being home for the first round and making the NCAAs was bound to end at some point.

Get out the brooms! 4-1 Dogs

But that's a sacred cow, isn't it? It is off the table no matter what, right? Sarcasm aside, I agree with you.

After last night, all I want is for us to get to Fargo and give ourselves a chance. I don't even care if we host the first-round of the playoffs or not. Just get to Fargo and make one final push for #9.

Now is the time for Kennedy to step up and make some decisions and not worry about the backlash. We need to cut some sports, regardless of the budget situation. We also need to raise more financial support, because of the budget situation. This also could make a move to the Slummit/MVFC or Slummit/BSC-FB almost a done deal.

Unless you are going to contribute something constructive, shut up.

Looks like the #drivefornine will have to be suspended until October.

Maybe we'll find an FBS game to buy out the NDSU game! Wouldn't THAT ruffle a few feathers down in Imperial Cass County!

As are most of the trolls that come over here to rub our noses in it. So no, I will not "let them be". You reap what you sow.

This thread IS about non-UND college hockey, so I think that is a fair topic to discuss here. For the record, I don't care about Michigan State hockey either, as long as they don't drop the program.

That's what people used to say about the Twins pre-1987.

I think this is one of the problems with a young team. Some of these guys have to learn that you win games by putting in a full 60 minutes of work and that being a team with a target on your back as defending NCAA and NCHC champions makes it just that much harder. There is still time to salvage this season, but we don't have time for a repeat of last night's nonsense. We need to string together some wins.

The mindless garbage this backwater/bush-league Legislature comes up with is beyond description. Don't they have better things to do while they are there? I suppose when you get elected solely because of the letter you have behind your name, you can afford to waste our time and money on nonsense like this.

Which is probably why it is time for Red to either 1) put himself out to pasture or 2) have someone in the athletic department with some balls to do it for him.

Well, since you made the request, here is my little fur baby: Nicest cat you'll ever meet and has gotten me through some tough times over the past three years or so. Now, back to mandatory convulsing over last night!

Unfortunately, I will not be there this year. I am skipping the Frozen Faceoff this year because, well......it just isn't all that much fun. The Hoggsbreath Brunch was the best part of last year's trip and I will miss it this year. I may be back in the future, however.

I wouldn't be surprised if they fold their program after this year. Not good news at all.

I wouldn't write their eulogy just yet, but it does look like a resurgent UND program and a Tim Brewster-less Gopher program are beginning to even things out around here.

Can you post a picture? I love animals.

I think it was a reference to the last three years and the 2nd, 2nd and 3rd place finishes. I think they do get over the hump this year.

Yeah, I am a frequent visitor to that web site.

This must be a sweep. We have some ground to make up in league play. I do not care how well Miami is playing right now.

KVLY has devolved into tabloid trash. They have chased out all the good journalists (Charley Johnson for example) and are only worth watching for the weather.
