Anderson2200

I just went to Scheels Arena to place a ticket at will call. The kid behind the window, somehow confused, handed me an envelope with 4 SRO tickets in it with the names ANDERSON-RICHIE on the envelope (they were not mine, I was dropping off, not picking up). ANDERSON-RICHIE, if you are reading this, Scheels Arena literally handed me your weekend, free of charge.... but I gave them back. Scary.

So basically we have to hope that at least 1 school that doesn't travel very well gets placed in Fargo and doesn't buy up all of their allotment, and then we have to be willing to camp out outside of Scheels Arena (or go online if we want to be risky) at a TBD date IF there are any left for sale

I'd like to get the discussion rolling about the small number of tickets that are still being held for the 4 "yet to be named" schools who will play at the Scheels Arena. When will they become available, how many are there, who will be selling them, are they for students of those schools, etc. Anyone associated with Scheels Arena or knows the process, please feel free to enlighten us...

Now we know the web feed is at least 45 seconds off

I have to echo your frustrations. I went online, was presented with 2 tickets, tried to buy them and they were GONE. I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation as to why the servers couldn't handle the amount of traffic and yada yada but I don't care, and had I known I could get them before 11 am, I too would have shown up at the arena!

PM me if you want to sell......

And every Gopher fan I know texted me saying they got theirs...

I got in right at 11. The screen I saw said there were none available, but I didn't leave the screen. At 11:10 I tried to buy again and this time it was successful. I tried to purchase the 2 tickets that were "available to me" but by the time I hit submit, they were gone BS!

Well put. ".6" doesn't bother me because it isn't indicative of any fault of our tender or anyone else on the team. Bounce of the puck didn't go our way that time. The t-shirts are certainly a chuckle, that's for sure.

The only thing I will remember about the 2013-2014 season is how hard our boys played and how proud I am to be a Sioux fan for life. Your little ".6" and "Blake Wheeler diving tap-in" moments are part of the game, part of the rivalry, and have no affect on how I look back on my team.

Top excuses I've been hearing so far this week: "Union is an old team; our studs leave too early"... 16 draftees vs 1 and UND has had the same issues for years, sorry that doesn't hold up "East Refs were biased"... same refs all tourney long, there are good breaks and bad breaks "we dominated the game except for that 3 minute window"... sorry bud, the numbers don't lie, and that's irrelevant anyways "we were too crazed by our whooping of the Sioux's ass 2 nights before"... stupid on so many levels and not even worth my time to respond MN played the Championship game with everything they had and came up short. It was one of the best Frozen Fours I've ever seen/endured. The whiners will whine, but regardless Union deserves to be called the Best in the Nation.

While they came up short on banner 6, at least they have those cute little ".6" t-shirts Saturday night in pictures:

For those who didn't see this CHN article where the author suggests that UND dominated MN (which I believe we did): http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2014/04/11_semifinal_notebook_minnesota-north.php

What does it mean and where did it originate from?

In talking with several fans/friends over the weekend about this season, I see many people are very thrilled about Hakstol’s coaching job and the epic surge the team has had since November 30th. The latter half of the season was all conference match-ups (except for Bemidji), and mostly against teams who aren’t even in the Top 20 Nationally The surge is always fun to watch but should be done so with an objective eye, especially when going into the Natty on a bubble. All too often the bubble bursts prematurely and then the "fire Hak" talk gets tossed around the internet. Vermont – 11th Miami – 40th St. cloud – 4th Omaha – 26th Duluth – 20th BU – 44th St. Lawrence – 29th W. Mich – 21st N. Mich – 29th CC – 51st Bemidji – 45th Denver – 27th Omaha – 26th Miami – 40th Duluth – 20th St. Cloud – 4th W. Mich – 21st

Sorry to go off topic a bit but does anyone know where I can find archived video footage of the full game of the 2005 World Junior Championship game between Canada and Russia? I've scoured YouTube, IIHF's site and TSN's website and cant find it anywhere.. just some highlights...

Well you just made my Saturday night

I have had a FANTASTIC experience using the following: - Windows 7 OS on my laptop with Internet Explorer - shut off your wireless and using an Ethernet cord from device to modem (my modem is whatever Cable One is leasing me) - I have a $12 HDMI cord from Menards - I run a minute or two behind LIVE and NEVER use the "Best" quality options... 720p has proven better in terms of visual and audio quality I have little to no issues. I don't even know what kind of modem or cords I have and my wife's laptop is 3 years old but I have had a great experience over 3 games so far

I was referring to the video-cast available on the Miami site... what you are referring to will only provide the radio broadcast

If anyone wants to stream the Saturday night game you can pay $11 and access it here: http://www.muredhawk...DB_OEM_ID=26100

The live stream was top-notch and I highly recommend to those who has issues, to stream the game a minute or 2 behind LIVE. From my perspective as a somewhat technologically-savvy consumer, I can say that I was impressed even though I think I had the odds stacked against me using my wife's older laptop. Tips from me are as follows: - hard wire an Ethernet cord from modem to device (don't expect much out of wireless) - stream 1 - 2 minutes behind especially if using wireless is your only option (use time during intermissions to bank more grace-time) - Optimize your experience by accessing Task Manager and prioritizing the stream over other processes using up your CPU's power (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) - HDMI cords are $12 at Menards and work just as well as any for this purpose...

Just called the vet in Casselton (701) 347-5496. They have a 1 MEDIUM (12-19") left in stock but are expecting more in soon. Retail for $20. Thanks Fetch and UND99!!

I cannot find a nice Fighting Sioux collar with the logo for my hunting dog online anywhere... just "North Dakota"... could someone refer me to a website where I might find one or where I could have one made?
