Here is an article that says about the same thing. Its good if true.
I could handle a 28 game season. I just want some hockey.
The only thing that I can think of is there is an NCAA rule that disallows you from showing a replay of a questionable call. Or basically they are trying to be PC, which is then gutless. Show the replay. The officiating that weekend was horrible at best.
One of the problems I had with the last game against DU in the third period with the game still close and UND needing points, out skates the fourth line. I believe the bench should have been shortened to the 9 best forwards. Thats what I would do the rest of the way.
My Wife doesn't allow me to make decisions so I am never wrong, however, I will take you up on that bet. Actually the Play in Game could be the largest crowd of the tourney, with a possible UND and UofM match up. Sounds good to me...
UND is going to finish 5th and have a home series they are going to beat the Daugs then go down to the X-Cel and beat the dirty Gophers in the play in game.
You can put that in your sig if you want but thats what is going to happen unless the Goofers get beat in their WCHA home series.
I would be willing to bet the name is going no where they can talk all they want but, when the big schools like FSU push back the NCAA will back down. UND should do the same thing. Nothing. The name stays.
