^^^^ (above) kinda funny

WJC is pretty important for these athletes and has been supported heavily by the coaches, many of whom have had the rare opportunity to participate in the World Juniors and represent their home country themselves. 6-8 games on the world stage against the best in the world for the age group in exchange for missing an exhibition game and two non conference games. I know what I would wish for as a coach for my athlete ….maybe the answer is less blue chippas

2-3 blue chips and the rest of the team a mix of role players and grinders has returned how many championships? Recently, I am thinking the 2016 Sioux champs and maybe the 03 or 04 gophers have had national known talent and completed the year on top. Some great and talented Denver teams as well. Michigan now has a 4 year window to bring home a couple of championships, and they did not do it last year (Covid the deciding factor) Seems like older teams with a good majority of 3-4 year players have had a great deal of success. Thinking Duluth, Providence, Union, Yale and Michigan State. How many blue chip laden teams has Sandy parlayed into a national champ? Or has he done it with a great opportunity and coaching? Barely made some tournaments but put it together late, and with what blue chippers?

Hopefully Perron is as good as shaugs. Is this now an endorsement of Perron?

Good catch gfhockey. If it was the case, that Rizzo did not want to bide his time with the talent in front of him, to work his way into a top six role, that is not much of a team first mentality. Especially a first year player.

2?

If I could go back in time, I want them too

Two NHL drafts didn’t want him either. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Breaking news: Big10 powerhouse OSU got him. Michigan didn’t have room for him. I will just wish him well, I do not have the incredible insight of others.

Forgoing $100+ tickets isn’t necessarily being cheap. Both UofM and UND sacrifice their best fans, the students, to maximize the profit of this series. Don’t know, but I could easily guess that next years series of the Sioux in the John will be Thanksgiving weekend also. I guess if I would look up the gopher football schedule for next year we could also figure out if the game will be Thursday/Friday like in 2019. Edit: MN football at Camp Randall on Saturday, Nov 26.

Welcome back. The animate objects that you will witness this weekend in every seat at the Ralph are people. Real live people, actual fans. You can remember what those were, eh?

Would a previously posted political slanted rant suffice for a reason to eat somewhere, anywhere, EGF perhaps?

Wait, your confusing me. I thought that Sandy and the Dogs wanted and got the blue chippaz

Blood slowed up and waited for Aaron Marvin to follow him behind the goal line. When Marvin caught up, Blood shouldered him to the ice. Retribution for Marvin’s end of season plus one year hit on Chay Genoway.

Well until he attains the ‘blue chippa’ blessing from the fringe gobc wannabe, he will maintain ‘grinda’ status for me

Big kid. 6’ 3” at age 16 1/2. Father has a lengthy NHL pedigree and two brothers playing college currently. must be another grinda

If you knew that you were positively a carrier of the Covid virus while vaccinated and chose to attend anything in such close proximity to another, “well the end result of such a lopsided thought process is too obvious to require elaboration.”

Several times. From a small, but engaged student section. It didn’t overwhelm the game, but it was present several times.

I would estimate the crowd was 1/3 Sioux fans with a couple hundred empty seats.

Hak and the Kraken get rolling tonight on ESPN. Best of hockey luck to the hard working and ambitious Dave Hakstol on his new coaching job. Pretty good guy in my opinion.

Our opponent in Nashville, Penn State, has been picked to finish 5th in the 7 team Big Ten. They have been the only team that I have ever found likable in that conference. Club team that a benefactor rewarded with a beautiful and clean looking arena. Would love a UND series to be scheduled there early in the the year so I could attend a football game the same weekend.

When did the requirement for every single person in that building to be vaccinated go into effect? I had believed that a negative test with 72 hours of the event would suffice. Not sure that I should rely on this thread for information on #thescience or #thetruth. I already gave up on it being about hockey.

With the 5th year eligibility, Chris Porter’s record of NCAA games played will fall. At least I still believe it is the record. Was it already eclipsed?

I’m thinking it is Ryan Martens
