Thanks for having us. It was a lot of fun.

Did you watch the post game press conference on Friday afternoon? Coach Motzko talked about playing North Dakota and what they bring to the rink. He complimented UND. He basically said, The games can’t get any more intense. And they have to bring it every time they play UND. It’s not what’s on the front of the jersey but what’s in the players heart and mind set. It’s playing North Dakota and being in a war every game. That still exists today. It hasn’t changed. There are going to down seasons. That’s sports. Coach Berry talks about the culture and no one player is above that. Doesn’t matter if your a first round draft choice or a fourth liner. If the fourth liner is playing better they’re going to play. Yes, this year was down but to suggest UND’s brand is ruined because the university dared to put a Hawk on the shoulders is short sighted. Five conference titles and an NCAA Title have been won under the Fighting Hawks nickname. It isn’t going anywhere. While the Nickname is gone, the same culture remains. Kick Ass and go hard. Bring it every game. Hey, I love the Fighting Sioux nickname but it’s gone, forever. It’s not coming back. After botching the nickname transition the university is moving forward to develop a brand.

Bravo. I agree.

You do realize that all of UND's coaches have coached on a very high level? Berry coached in the NHL, Dane Jackson has already coached in the AHL before he came to UND. Matt Shaw has coached in the NHL, AHL and the USHL. That's an impressive pedigree.

Go ahead and fire Brewster, he'd be picked up in a heart beat.

Level of hotness. Jones - getting hotter. Bubba -- lukewarm. The rest are fine.

Exactly.

Seriously?

Only 8 1/2 hours until the get-together.

The old Wehrs Corner.

Yes, he will.

Friday -- Wolanin Saturday -- Gersich

On I-29 in SD the Speed Limit 80 miles an hour. Could be faster.

Yeah, his spring is going to be kind of slow since the Red Wings are golfing starting in April. We'll welcome you to the Bruins Stanley Cup Express.

He's just misunderstood.

You referring to Brad Marchand?

Why do you think that he's so opposed to the NCAA first round being on campus?

Fixed.

This looks like a winnable bracket. Sioux Falls4. Ohio State vs. 14. North Dakota6. Minnesota State vs. 11. Clarkson

Honestly, it'd be nice to get him back, but he has to strike while the iron is hot.

I sent you a text. Check "your iPhone 4".

nope.

His dad was a former Golden Rodent. #firegoon

If I am not mistaken, he's closing in on the assist record for Tonka.

He's not interested.
