    I feel like they shouldn’t isn’t playing for UND more important that WJC? Idk…

    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 :wink:

  2.  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?

    Wouldn’t mind getting a blue chippa or two like shaugs 

    Hopefully Perron is as good as shaugs.

    And that’s what we need!

     

    Is this now an endorsement of Perron?

    LOL!!!

    I am so cheap. I'll probably just listen to Wally & Frank on the audio stream. I need to make the road trip up there again. It has been so long. But I may not be treated well up there! 

    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?

    SS.com:  We're going to publish a dining guide for Grand Forks!

    Interested reader:  Oh, that's nice.  Will you be relying on Michelin ratings?

    SS.com:  No, Dun & Bradstreet.

    Interested reader:  But what about the food?

    SS.com:  Past finances, tax liabilities, and creditworthiness are more important.

    Interested reader:  But what about service, convenience, or price?

    SS.com:  It's a small town. 

    Interested reader:  Some people are relatively new here, and don't get into local gossip.

    SS.com:  Everybody needs to know everything about the owners...digging up old dirt is all that matters.

    Interested reader:  Grand Forks really doesn't have that many dining options, though.

    SS.com:  We can think of one too many.

    Interested reader:  That seems kind of petty.

    SS.com:  (eats gas station burrito)

    Interested reader:  (eats gas station burrito)

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

    He did that to a husky player once haha. Got a penalty and smiled all the way to the box.

    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.

    I'm assuming you're kidding, but it would be a little strange for us to recruit a grinder role at the age of 16. If you're kidding, let me know haha.

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

  9. 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.”

    Is it true that the fans, or the students at least, were really chirping Driscoll pretty bad? Saying “f Driscoll”, etc.? 

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

  11. 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.

    Wut??? Again you realize every single person in that building will have been vaccinated.  

    #TheScience 

    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.

    Twenty-four hours before flight, check in on line and load boarding pass onto phone.  Pack bags.  Make sure tickets to game are loaded onto phone.  Arrange transportation to airport.  Stand in TSA security checkpoint line.  Present boarding pass and id.  Remove shoes and load crap into bin.  Go through x-ray machine.  Put shoes back on and police up crap.  Wait for boarding.  Present boarding pass.  Stand in line watching people try to hoist crap into overhead bin. Two hour ride in cramped airplane.  Stand in cramped plane for twenty minutes as people try to remove crap from overhead bin.  Navigate airport to ground transportation (bus, cab or car).  Drive to hotel.  Present id and credit card at hotel.  Unpack crap.  Find way to Bridgestone arena.  Present electronic ticket.

    I CAN'T WAIT TO GO!

    You'll need to pull a card out of your wallet to show the ticket agent.

    Screw it.  I'm not going.
