I saw him on WDAZ News @ 10 saying he is leaning towards signing a contract. He also said "This is a business and I hope the fans understand that". I don't think Mr. Stecher really knows just how much of a business the NHL is. And he won't until he signs a contract with someone. Once you sign that piece of paper, you become just another piece of meat to be used however they want to use you. That is probably why almost every player that leaves early wishes that they hadn't left early. Because all the NHL seems to care about is how big you are (or aren't), Stecher could very well get buried in the AHL for years, getting passed over for bigger, taller defensemen. I really hope he does his homework on the teams that pursue him so he doesn't get stuck in an organization that doesn't give him a fair shot at making the big league. Having said all that, I thank him for his contributions to this team and program and I wish him all the best.

I like that.

Nobody had a problem with DOT.

Michigan's goalie said after just one minute of play, he knew that his team hadn't played anyone like us all year. So I think this is a valid point.

NORTH DAKOTA @ Quinnipiac - SATURDAY Gameday NCAA TITLE GAME
fightingsioux4life replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Addiction sucks. I am so glad I never got hooked into that stuff. I think it started when his wife left him for his own brother. Some people turn to alcohol. Dubay turned to illegal drugs. As a fellow human being, I am pulling for him to get his life in order. -
Looks like the repeat bid is getting a big boost: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/4006817-und-hockey-boeser-announces-hes-coming-back-sophomore-season

NORTH DAKOTA @ Quinnipiac - SATURDAY Gameday NCAA TITLE GAME

He is getting North Dakota mixed up with his own team. That was a very succinct description of Golden Gopher Hockey, under both Woog and Lucia. -

Any maybe you need to e-mail Tom Miller and tell him he doesn't know what he is talking about. I happen to think he was right. -

Wow, you guys are really good at putting words into my mouth. I never said the things you are alleging I said. And I wasn't implying that either. Thanks for totally missing the point of my post. -
NORTH DAKOTA vs. DU - THURSDAY F4 Gameday
fightingsioux4life replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Look, when we as a fan base had watched six consecutive national semifinal losses (2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2015) and then watched Denver score two goals to tie the game in the third period and were going on yet another PP (which was almost called a 5 minute major), you cannot seriously insinuate that people should not have been thinking "Here we go again". As Tom Miller said in the Heraldo on Friday, anyone who claims they weren't thinking that were not being honest. I do not blame any of our fans for feeling a bitter and negative sense of déjà vu as that third period got away from us. It's called being a passionate, die-hard fan of this team, program and institution. It's called posting emotional comments in the heat of the moment. But I suppose you are going to go ahead and try to tell me that you have never, ever done that during your time on this planet? Yep, that's what I thought. End Rant. -
Amen, could not agree more.

I promised to change my avatar if we won #8 and I have delivered.....just like our hockey team did last night!!!

This is precisely why awards like this are so overrated. They are subjective and based on market size and media coverage, or lack thereof. The title that really matters will be awarded tomorrow night.

Hey, great minds think alike, right? -

It happened to Bill Buckner in 1986, so I wouldn't put it past anyone. -

Frozen Four Watch Parties
fightingsioux4life replied to Sioux Fan in Sioux Falls's topic in Men's Hockey
Maybe it's cheaper for them to watch it at a pub than buy game tickets. Or they want to drink alcohol while they watch, which they can't do inside of the arena because the "moral supremacists" at the NCAA won't allow it. -

Well, they haven't won a natty since 2012, so they should watch their mouths. I think the last time we played them in the Frozen Four was the debacle in Denver in 2008 (which is what gave birth to my avatar! ), so living in the past is a bit of a waste of time. Besides revenge, the other reason to want them is so we get the last line change for the title game. -

I'll be at Ground Round in Grand Forks watching both semifinal games. -
Why doesn't the Alerus host a hockey regional

Thanks for the insight, it makes more sense now. -
Yeah, I remember that.

There are a lot of people that would contest this point. I think the NCAA uses it's tax exempt status to run a for-profit business inside a tax shelter. -
In 1987, the Vikings backed into the playoffs on the final weekend and they went all the way to the NFC Championship game. So once you are in, anything can happen.
