The goalie, did he fake an injury to buy Denver rest during the penalty kill? Goalie has been pretty active in net since he decided he could play.
Doubtful because he needed a mercy whistle while the puck was still very much in play and he was down in the paint trying to cover the goal mouth.

There will always be the predawn flight to the hub in the hub-and-spoke system, but the problem at GFK is that there are now only three daily flights, so if you don't take the earliest one, you are effectively missing a ton of flights out of the hub to your ultimate destination.
Bring GFK back up to five flights, and those who want or need to get out early still can, but there will be midmorning options for those who don't.
The key is flexibility, which is sorely lacking.

I don't usually rag on the Pairwise, but depending on where UND ends up...it will be way too high given their performances the last several weeks. Feature, or bug?

Me either. You don't build apartments and homes if there isn't a demand for housing.
Where is the other evidence of growth, though?
Traffic? No.
UND avoiding the enrollment cliff, but higher ed trends seem flat.
Entertainment, retail, dining...still seem to be closing at a faster rate than opening.
Manufacturing and industry? (crickets)
And can't new rooftops/housing just be a lagging indication of pent up demand? Existing residents leaving upscale apartments for homes, former mid-level renters upgrading, older areas slowly being gentrified, redeveloped? Population shifting southward generally?
Does anyone honestly get a growth or boomtown vibe?

Do any of the administrators have some advice? I have a friend who is trying to register as a new user. When they get the prompt to check their email as part of the registration process, they never receive the email. They have checked their spam folder and have tried the process a few times. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Maybe switch browsers just to rule out that as a cause?

Sometimes that which you seek is right in front of (or below) you.

Let’s just play all the NCAA games in Australia so we truly have neutral sites with no fans there to upset the pure neutrality of the competition. Doesn’t that sound exciting?
It would make for a more authentic sounding "Oy, oy, oy!"

Great argument for moving the regionals to home sites.
I tend to agree. But here are a couple of counterpoints for the sake of discussion:
1. Neutral sites actually have the potential to increase exposure. Hosting postseason games in hockey hotbeds and successful markets, while rewarding the home teams, will primarily serve existing fans and season-ticket holders. And regional sites are almost always larger than many campus venues, so assume best case scenario - college hockey completely takes off from a spectator standpoint, even in underserved markets - demand will far outpace supply.
2. Notwithstanding the vagaries of neutral site selection and geographical seeding, fans can actually be assured of seeing their team at least occasionally with minimal travel or hassle. Let's say you support a program that is consistently in the second eight of the PW, and your school is modestly successful at bidding to host OR stands to benefit from geographical seeding. Under a home-site model, you would virtually never see your team in the postseason without (1) travel, and (2) fighting host fans over tickets. The neutral site model allows fans to buy tickets to a specific regional, plan well in advance, and if the stars align and their team qualifies - and is placed locally, take in some post season hockey. Worst case scenario, the team isn't placed, the fans can either go as non-committed spectators, or sell their seats to fans of the qualifiers.
UND's success at bidding for regionals seems to have benefited UND fans more often than not, and has allowed locals access to important post-season action, even when the Sioux have not been in the mix. For example, watching huge upsets like HC over UMN, or AIC over SCSU, in person just hits different, and the thought of losing that for 'just one more game at the Ralph' might be a close call for some. Maybe someone can crunch numbers and see if the recent spate of Fargo/SF regionals have ultimately netted more 'home' games for UND than a theoretical home site model.
Fun questions to kick around.

Agreed the flight times are the worst thing holding gf back
wondrr if we have even asked delta to change
The way I see it, GFK is Delta's bitch. Pre-COVID, 5 daily flights, with semi-convenient connections. Post-COVID, down to 3 flights - on marginally larger aircraft - and generally piss-poor connections. The only real beneficiaries are those with status, because all flights now have 3 classes of service given the larger planes. No competition, and no signs that it's going to get better.

Wow, I didn't even know about that. Terrible.
Well, take a step back.
Imagine a longtime Sioux fan, having lived a full life. Surrounded by friends/family. Maybe a few favorite libations. Having just celebrated Thanksgiving. Checking out at the Ralph in the third period of a Saturday shutout looking like a weekend sweep for the top-ranked team in the country. Lots worse ways to go, IMHO. (Ex A - shoveling snow)
Just sayin'.

The human brain doesn't stop developing until your mid to late 20's, so I think that is a better dividing line between kid and adult. The legal definitions we put in place are not always 100% accurate.
And FWIW, he will be able to buy us a beer, but we can't buy HIM a beer, thanks to the NCAA.
But...you CAN pay him a million dollars to promote your beer.

Austin Peay announces they are starting a club team that will go D1. They will use the practice rink at F&M Arena.

Austin Peay? Antarctic Blue. The sports wagon! This isn’t even the right model.

More tap-dancing in here than a grade school recital:
QuoteWe’ve got quite a bit of stuff to do
we were in a holding pattern for a while
Right now it’s day by day
At this point, as of today, yes I am reopening,” he said. “But I’m not committing to the fact
it’s a lot of money. There are a lot more pieces that are unknown at this point
As they get into it, they keep finding more stuff.
This guy could have been a politician. Or a coach.
Why even give the interview?

can stores that cater to one thing make it today...the soap place by lowes, crumbl cookie, and this one going up downtown next to bonzers?
Grand Forks can barely sustain two sandwich shop chains, and a whole lot more people eat lunch regularly than overpriced cookies.
No way Crumbl and Insomnia both make it.

Well, I doubt Brad Seng is going to change the color of his trucks.
As I recall, Werner painted hundreds of its signature, baby blue trucks black when it landed Dollar General as a client, so it might not be unprecedented. Just shows a different level of dedication, I suppose.
