Goon

Minneapolis?

I've heard that Kleven is staying, but we know things can change.

Maybe they get a tender through the Portal? I guess we will find out.

Now, I am thirsty for beer. I have a lot more free time on my hands.

IDK! I know that Connor Ford was one of the top Faceoff guys in the country, so, he has the skill set. Also, Calder has another year. With that said, I was impressed with what these two players brought to the table this past season. As far as @Wilbur and @MafiaMan go, I will have to let them answer this question. Your question made me laugh. Both said players in question were at the Hoggsbreath this past weekend.

and Bucci... Ugh!

Imagine that you work for a pretty good sized company. You lose half of your work forces. They're replaced with a whole new group of people. You're going to have growing pains. I think UND exceeded expectations this year.

No argument from me.

I'll have no trouble sleeping tonight.

The UMD vs. MTU game was flat out boring to watch. I am glad that I am not a Bulldog fan. Their game against DU was down right boring, too. JMHO.

Yep, he's out of the pool.

It was a really fun time, after the brunch, @Ice Arena Man and I headed to the Xcel Energy Center to watch the Wild beat Toews and the Blackhawks. Thanks Al, it was a great time.

I heard his phone was buzzing off the wall from Motzko calling but he didn't change his mind.

In

A well deserved honor for Alex.

I think that he's probably going to be in the Hobey Hat Trick, it's a shame there are no other NCHC players in the Final 10.

He's a good kid, and has his father's athletic prowess. He's got Burton blood, so he was blessed with the family eyebrows.

I could be talked into going to the wild game too.

I was being nice.

Alex Heinert is doing NCHC PxP for CBS Sports Network for a reason. He's by far the best PxP in the NCHC, hands down. I can't think of another PxP person on NCHC.TV that's better. Surely not the crew that did the substandard broadcast from Omaha. I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting picked up by a bigger network, ie, doing other CBS Sports events or for another network. He can call football, hockey and basketball. We don't have anyone better in our area. He'd blow Sweeny or Hammer out of the water. If you watch the NHL or other hockey games on a regular basis they all do this. Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley in Boston, the Wild Announcers Anthony LaPanta and whoever is in the booth with him. Just to name a few. I'd be careful what you ask for.

I think 11 or 12 is better. I'd survey the other folks first. I am flexible.

Personally, I don't think Bubba is going to go anywhere until the high dollar donors start demanding a change in the status quo. It's obvious, the school is okay with the football team being competitive. Code word for mediocre. Personally, as an Alum, I am tired of losing to SDSU and NDSU in football. I want to see UND play for an NCAA title in Frisco. Moreover, I am also tired of the basketball teams not challenging for a conference title in the Summit Conference. It is what it is.

Rudolph was an assistant coach at Upper Iowa when I was there in 1990. He was the offensive coordinator. I always thought he was a nice guy. Maybe division I wasn't a good fit for him.

I can't believe it's been almost three years since Tim went to heaven. I still find myself looking him at the Ralph. I'd talk to him either before the game or see him between the first and second period. He used to talk with his friends in the upper deck near the stairwell to the press box. I'll try to be there.
