I heard a rumor from a friend that said a prominent UND alum offered UND 10 million for an endowment for women’s hockey and it was rejected by president Kennedy. Has anyone else heard this?

I think it's safe to assume, yes. They will not get into the NCHC or the WCHA without a new arena.

At a young age of 51, I have seen the improvement in their buns. I am kind of a food expert. I didn't get this body from eating Kale and Kelp.

Mine was like 360's.

Ha, I wish, I have a couple of soft shells in my lunch today.

I've had three of them in the last week and they were fabulous. I didn't see any problems. I am not sure what everyone is complaining about. Tasted good to me.

They improved the bread.

I have a friend that hates Oshie and thinks he should be suspended for his hit that broke Miller's nose.

If I had to guess, this thread won't stay open long.

At the south end Red Pepper, the kid working behind the counter said that the reason they went to the buns that are made in Dickenson is that the buns from Hugos were inconsistent. Meaning they were sending buns of all different sizes. Obviously, that's not good.

I am going back, great food.

Not overly fast. I ate at Vinyal Taco on Thursday, that was good.

China Garden?

Jacobs is retired and is at best a part-time columnist. Are you saying he’s leading the charge of removing Kennedy?

One more year of juniors.

I think Holtby has been great. He was solid against the Bolts and played well tonight.

Capitals won even with the officiating.

I like this exchange. Wings up.

Back in December, I got to see Randklev and Moorhead play against Minnetonka and this kid is good. He's very fast and gets to the open ice quickly. I think he could be a game breaker.

I am ready for hockey season already.

The talentless hack comment was me. I might have embellished that a bit. Sorry. I think there's too much of a focus put on 1st round draft choices. There's only what 31 of those, and not all of them are going to play college. Second, UND has to compete with other schools for said, first-round draft choices. BU loaded up on first-round draft choices and it really didn't help them all that much. Four years ago they had Jack Eichel they finished second. The part that makes a team in my humble opinion are the players that develop into first-line players. Tucker Poolman, Paul LaDue, Drake Caggiula.

HS, I e’f that one up. He is related to Setiguchi. FMP.

I also think that Bast and Mismash could be elite players in this league. They were decent players last year. I’d consider them high end. Kawaguchi started to make an impact at the end of the season. I don’t think UND is a bunch of talentless hacks.

BGSU is unhappy that they're not part of the NCHC. During the first NCHC Frozen Faceoff, I had a discussion with one of the Miami bloggers from Blog of Brotherhood that told me that BGSU was very unhappy with the Miami for not going to bat for them and making a case for them to get into the NCHC. I am sure that nothing is changed, their fellow MAC schools are in a premiere conferences and they didn't want to be in the WCHA.

First, off, it's a message board rumor. Second, is any hockey beat writer talking about this? I doubt that WMU and MU are just going to cough up 1.5-2.0 million dollars and leave a great league. Look at what is being proposed, do you think Miami, and Western are really interested in this is a league than they're in? I don't.
