  1. 3 NCAA championships last decade and going for #4 in the last 11 years.

    The real University of Minnesota hockey team plays in Duluth.

    From now on, the team 2 hours south needs to adopt the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Golden Gophers moniker.

  2. Truly incredible effort by both teams last night.  After going toe-to-toe for 2.5 games, anyone could have won it.

    Heartbreaking watching UND lose twice last night.

    Terrible feeling knowing that a 48-11-5 record the last two seasons produced one NCAA playoff win against college hockey titans, the American International Bumblebees.

    Sandy 12-1 in last 13 NCAA playoff games.  One Massachusetts team between him and Duluth's shot at a fourth straight title game.

    Had really anticipated the Fargo, North Dakota Regionals in 2015 (UND), 2017 (Duluth), 2019 (Denver), and 2021 (Duluth) to be a bigger boon for UND's frozen four chances.

    Every player has eligibility next year, right?  Unfinished business??

    How about goaltending? Scheel or Johnson? Who do you think is better? 

    Scheel. 

    Johnson put up some incredible stats (4 SHO in a row) and was instrumental during the championship run.  But I also remember him getting yanked during some head scratching performances like when he only saved 10 of 13 shots against Jan Brady; 8 of 11 against Colorado College; or 1 of 4 against Western Michigan during the same season.

    Hope a dman doesn't go down, alot games with no extra dman to spare.

    Right?

    UND was so loaded at defense this year that Tychonick needed to transfer, there was no room for Luke Reid, and Rieger would need to play forward to see ice time.  Now, Riegers slotted to play the next 9 straight games.

    JBD and Kierstad 30 minutes each game rest of pod.  Get Frisch's minutes up there, too.

    Go Sioux.

    Completely agree on that one.  I held my breath JPL's senior season.  If anything had happened to him it would have been Aaron Walski or Landon Snider.

    Agree as well.  I think UND started 2007-2008 with Anthony Grieco, who came in as a highly recruited 17-year old, but he left and went to the OHL shortly after the start of the year.

    Just sent my first disparaging e-mail to Sidearm . . .  Wtf.  Year after year NCHC.TV continues to be a joke.

    I sent 6 regretfully, brutal, disparaging e-mails/tickets in a row to Sidearm.  It finally started working on my firestick after the sixth e-mail.  Don't know if they're related, but this company is still a joke.

    pre trail always a diversion.  Keeps the defense off guard.  If you were playing poker and you placed a big bet and a bystander says I don't believe show me your cards.  would you?

    Poker and litigation follow different rules.  In litigation, there's discovery---where you show your cards before trial.

    5-4 or 6-3? 

    If I set the over-and-under at 5.5 vs 3.5 what would you take? 

    Sticking with the spirit of polar divisions in our country, I have to say it'll be 5-4 sometime in December (God, I hope by December), I am just not sure which candidate gets the 5 and which gets the 4.

    My bigger concern is how the losing candidate's fan base reacts to the decision.

    Today’s words of the day?

    • Baseless
    • Widespread

    Listen for them.
    You’ll hear them in nearly every major media outlet.
    Someone is setting a narrative (aka programming your brain for you). 

    For sure.  When the Daily Show was entertaining, Jon Stewart would often juxtapose dozens of short clips of media talking heads uttering the exact same, although unique, phrases.  (Wish I had a clip).  Those unique phrases would then become part of our daily lexicon.

    As you say, its as if someone in the shadows is literally setting a narrative.  Kind of scary that hardly anyone realizes it.
