Mark McMillan, short handed goal 3-0 Shut out for Saunders! 3-0 final

Jim Bollman used to do the basketball games.

my untrained observations? Corbin Knight seemed on fire during the first period, more than I have noticed lately. Wish he could have maintained the pace. Kristo was a man possessed, and I am not usually a Kristo fan. Anyone count the blocks and checks that Rocco made? PLEASE, don't anyone tell him that he is not a 6'3" 200lb defender that he looked like tonight. And what was with the booing #6?

Come on now, Saunders got the Seawolves last Friday, Gothberg last night, it has to be Tates turn!!!

Is there any title for the NCAA national championship trophy? Can't remember hearing of one.

He did get an assist.

Someone had a sense of humor tonight, the fan favorite call in players of the game choices were: 29 Chyzyk 26 Sanderson 35 Maris I had seen 29 out there a couple of times, noticed 26 once, and Maris got the fan favorite results before he ever got on the ice! Couple of thoughts, I thought Senkbeil made some decent plays out there tonight although I don't think he got any points. Saunders looked real good except for the goal that went in and he had gotten out of position. We were totally outshot but was fun having 3 goals on 4 shots! (.25 save percentage?) And yes, the crowd roared when Maris came in with 2 minutes left in the game, he did make an outstanding save though!

I am still having trouble understanding how a "Sacred Ceremony" that took place on Standing Rock, is not recognized as a sacred ceremony by Standing Rock. I think we lost a lot of credibility on that issue by the Elders at Standing Rock.

How far did Scot Brower go?

Children, children, this sibling rivalry is getting ridiculous. All I know is that I was proud that a North Dakota school won something that a lot of other colleges wanted and we would be very proud to have done also. It was good PR for our state, lets give them some credit. And plan to beat them soon!! Bring back the Nickel trophy!!!

I'm doubting this, it seems more of a case of no one should EVER make a change. I hope he does not drive and get a flat, he could never change it. Time is standing still for him, he needs our reactions to prove to him that he is still alive. I feel sorry for him.

Somehow it struck me that the reason he can afford the pool is explained 2 sentences later.

Please explain to me why the Standing Rock Elders refused to consent to use of the logo by UND when it is supposedly their tribe that did the religious ceremony that gave UND the right in the first place. Either the ceremony was not religious or they have decided their fathers were stupid. They have voted in new elders since the first refusal and have not changed their stance. All arguements should start and stop right there with Standing Rock. Please take it up with them instead of lamblasting a lot of people that have to deal with the consequences of their decision.

The article concludes with ties to NDSU. Is there ANY GUARANTEE that the NCAA would NOT sanction the whole state if it is a state law?

Please folks, lay off of Dave K. There is no way he is going to understand logic or cause and effect. Why he isn't taking his argument to the Standing Rock council where everything hit the fan is the biggest question. Now, about the wording of the measure, how about: Vote No to keep the Sioux, vote YES to keep the U.

In a way, I appreciate the Al Carlson bill. It was a grand final stand for the name and logo. What it did was to prove that state laws are not effective in a private membership deal and do not affect the outcome. The sanctions still held. I believe that was the turning point for a lot of us, realizing the dramatics would not change anything. If I recall right, it was after that when Coach Hakstol changed his position on the issue also. That was when many of us realized that the sanctions really existed and would affect us greatly in the long run. As resistant as I am to change and love the name and logo, the time has come to gracefully retire them and move on.

I just have trouble understanding why Standing Rock Tribal council would not sign an agreement to use the nickname, especially being it was their ancestors that did the religious pipe ceremony. Since then, the tribe has voted in new council members that still agree not to acknowledge the ceremony as binding. I feel most of the battle was lost right there.

Sorry Hrkac, you fit most of the qualifications except the multi-mentioned DEFENSE. Those beautiful moves as a forward just don't cut it.

I had a favorite horse named "Fighting Sioux". He was starved to death a few years back by his other owner "Standing Rock". I tried to revive him by giving him resusitation known as "state amendment". But the vet named NCAA still declared him dead. A friend named "Spirit Lake" tried to help but it was too late. He has been laying there for a long time now and I believe it may be time to bury him and get a beautiful headstone. The neighboring states have declared that the stench is getting to them. With many fond memories that will last forever, Goodbye Old Friend.

Once upon a time there was a difference between being a sports fan and being a good sport. Vancouver fans obviously don't know the difference!

I'm not into the politics of the change and will miss the old WCHA. To me, the best reason for the change is to GET NEW REFS!

I guess I was thinking it would prove that UND and the local area is trying to follow NCAA regs and the rest of the state, that may not be following the situation, is putting UND between a rock and a hard place. In that situation, it would seem like the ones fighting against the NCAA should be also sanctioned. It is not a matter of going to UND games, it is a matter of politics, semantics, and personal preferences.

Seems someone should ask the NCAA if the UND county (Grand Forks county) votes to retire the nickname but the state votes to keep it, if the state would go on sanctions?

Got to love Toews, second shift back from an injury and gets the first goal in the Blackhawk game with a backhanded, tough angle shot.

That didn't look like hockey, looks more like assault and battery. Maybe they need a lawyer instead of a ref.
