  1. Oil hit a 6 year low yesterday. Yet, we're paying $.45 more per gallon than just a few weeks ago.

    Was there ever a justification for the swift rise from $1.99?

  2. Screw MidCo for teasing the on-ice ceremony and then not even giving us a millisecond of live video.

     

    Not only that…the game was slated until 10:00, and they just switched to some "regularly scheduled" crap.

  3. Convenient that you start off with last night's playoff loss at home to St Cloud and end with the Saturday night home loss to North Dakota, skipping out on the Friday win vs North Dakota...add in the Friday win against NoDak and it's 3-5-3.  Not impressive, to be sure, but the only real disappointment there was a sweep at St Cloud.  

     

    Why so keen on defending Choke-aha's record?  It happens that 10 is a perfectly round number that makes calculating percentages ridiculously easy.  Do you honestly believe that OP deliberately did so at his 'convenience' merely to take a shot or to (gasp!) draw your ire?

  4. How about getting rid of the "North" and going with just plain "Stars"?  That would work with our school colors and it wouldn't be that difficult to come up with a logo that passes copyright muster.

     

    We could adopt the Star of David (Hakstol).  It frequently starts out dim, looks great most of the astrological year, and fades out right at the end when everyone is watching, only to have the faithful looking skyward the very next night.

  5. If you still want to sell them, my offer still stands. Just let me know. 

     

    MARKET VALUE - "[T]he estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_value

  6. There are a lot of reasons why the students might be angry. The nickname. The cancellation of Springfest. The extended hours at the student union and library. Dorm food. The weather. Taxes. The proliferation of ISIS. The list goes on and on...

  7. Nowhere does it say that patrons would be removed - just the sign.

     

    Good catch.  Although I suspect they have oodles of wiggle room on that point, too.  Will be interesting to hear the whole story (i.e., from the ousted students), if it ever comes out.

  8. Banners/signs should in no way infringe on the sightlines of other Ralph Engelstad Arena guests. Banners and signs may not be commercial, political, derogatory or obscene as determined by REA staff. Signs must not utilize wood or metal material or other types of objects for support. Banners/signs cannot be affixed to building surfaces using tape and must fit underneath a patron’s seat. Ralph Engelstad Arena reserves the right to remove any banner or sign.

     

     

    Lots of room for subjectivity on the part of the venue here, unfortunately.

    "Prohibited Items...

     

    Any unauthorized signs."

     

    Clearly, the banner was not authorized.

     

    "Banners and Signs"

    1. Grand Forks, North Dakota (NCAA – University of North Dakota)

    The University of North Dakota is one of college hockey’s true powerhouse programs. It has won 15 conference championships, made 20 Frozen Four appearances and won seven national championships, the second highest championship total behind Michigan. Add to that list of accolades some of the most faithful fans in the country and a lovely (if cold) college town setting, and you have America’s Best Hockey Town.

    So just how much do folks in Grand Forks love hockey? Well, judging by their Google search traffic, they care more about hockey than they do about food. Grand Forks was one of just four cities in which residents clocked more internet searches for hockey than for food. Hockey-crazed fans should also have no trouble finding a job in Grand Forks: the city’s unemployment rate of 2.5% ranked lowest of any city in our study.

    Great find! I think it would be interesting if they expanded the study to include ice sheet availability (we just opened two top-flite rinks at ICON) and youth hockey participation per capita.
