It's the bar set up for the IIHF. I think they put it in the Olympic rink this time.

I'm guessing Stars in 5 - MN will win the first game back in the X.
When I heard the Parise news, my first thought was, "Dangit - they won't even get to the Blackhawks before being eliminated!" That's how sad that history has become.

I've been drunk, and I've been happy, but I ain't never had the urge to tip over a car. Would love to know how that scene went down.
At least tell me that it was pedestrian rage, or they knew the owner. Or that it had a Quinnipiac bumper sticker, or Minnesota plates, or SOMETHING. But a random Prius parked on a residential street? WTF.
I know, right? Can I assume it was one of those Prius's that drives everywhere at 20 mph, backing up traffic, to save fuel and was a specific owner that got picked? All those batteries in there, those things can't be very light

Denver being the exception, which we played 6 times throughout the year. I believe they are the true #2 team in the country.
I thought St. Cloud a hair better than Denver, but they had a bad night from their goalie at the wrong time.

Tampa was a great time, even with my food poisoning Wed night (probably never eating black bean humus again). The arena emptying on Thursday was stupid, and I hope they don't try to pull that anywhere else - imagine if they'd have done that in St Paul with weather like they had last Thursday? Ferg's was fun, and Buccigross came and had a drink with us there on Thursday after the Semi's - he loves the Sioux fans! - even claimed he remembered us from Boston last year. I wish I'd have known the trophy was going to make an appearance Saturday, as we probably met the boys on the road on their way over. Bad timing, for sure!
Contrary to a previous poster, the only fan I had any "unfriendly" encounter with, was a drunk Gopher fan who was just obnoxious during the red carpet entry. Actually got along really well with the Boston, New Hampshire, and Maine crowds. Even the few Denver fans we interacted with were reasonable. Heard lots of comments about how awesome our fan base is, and how they wish their schools traveled like that for games. Guess that was just the luck of the people we met. :shrug:
When we booked the tickets and flights last fall, we knew we'd have fun. When it worked out that UND would be there, it added nerves and anticipation. To have it work out that I got to be there live for that national title.... I'm still in shock and awe, but still haven't stopped smiling!

Play like the regional.
That's not a question, comment, or prediction - that's an order.

The Stamkos news really changes the East for me. I wonder how long he'll really be out?

wow did the Wild lay a couple of eggs this weekend... Definitely did NOT look like a playoff team.

About 400 miles so not really a day trip.
Still a day trip if you're committed enough

I'm trying to understand Busch Gardens. Seems to be half amusement park half zoo. Reviews claimed six rides and very long lines (and hour? especially on a friday?) About a $100 bucks just to get in the door ($80 a ticket plus $18 parking).
Honestly, there are enough rides that I never even visited the zoo part last time I was there (been about 5 years). With school still in session, I expect Friday won't be nearly as busy as a weekend or a summer day, especially early in the day. As to cost; I've found that you can get discount tickets for a lot of attractions, including that, by asking at the front desk of the hotels. I think we got tickets for $20 or $25 off when we last went. On lines, I'm speaking of a particular day, but they were short enough that we rode several coasters multiple times. There was a big green one toward the back of the park that you sat 3 or 4 wide on, and the ride from one side of the car to the other was completely different, so we had to keep riding it until our entire group had sat in the left seat. That one did loops around the walkways to get to some of the other rides - good fun! Longest line was for the front row on the Sheikra (sp), but if you like coasters it's totally worth the wait!

Folks heading to the beach on Friday?
Depending on weather. We go to Clearwater Beach once or twice a year, so I hear it calling my name, but Busch Gardens would also be good if it's not blistering hot.

Sounds like Lindgren will see games with the Habs this year and get to burn one year off his ELC. Great news for him.
Definitely good for Chaaaarrrrr---lllliiieeee, if he sees NHL ice. They're even waiving Scrivens.

Cuban food is fantastic in Tampa.
Best I've had, though we're only comparing about 5 cities. Also, Cigar City is their most commonly available local brewery.

Bars and bad things. It used to be more fun than that. None of my local friends will even venture that way anymore. Go in a group and keep an eye on your drinks, is what I've been told in recent years. They may be overstating, of course, but I'm perfectly happy not to be there at bar close.

Great rollercoasters! That 5 second hang from the top of the Sheikra before the 90* drop is a blast!

Thursday: Drake

I honestly could care less where he goes, the point I was trying to make was that this situation has a negative impact on college hockey. When teams draft players they will push their prospects to go the major junior route, where they will have more control of the player. If the players do choose the college hockey route they will try to sign the players earlier, possibly too early, simply to get them in their semi pro leagues. you are correct, technically it isn't a loophole, but its pretty shady to me. I have read Ryan whitneys tweets, he does make some decent points. I'm simply worried about the ramifications to college hockey over time. This seems to happen more frequently.
Agree with this ^^^
IIRC, Corbin Knight did it, only to be traded back to the team he spurned. That had to be awkward...

According to the Fox's Facebook, they'll be carrying the football and basketball games on 107.9. This just further reduces the music options in Fargo, if you like rock of any age... We have a half dozen stations playing Taylor Swift, nearly as many playing Garth Brooks, and 2 that play anything resembling music...

^^^ It's been a nice run, that's for sure! Started strong, appear to be finishing strong, so take out that crap in the middle, and they're battling for a title, vs. a playoff spot.

If the turnout is anything like Boston, there will be UND fans throughout the arena. Our seats are in sec. 101.
Pretty much! We're in 108.

I like him a lot, right up until he calls a game. I love what he does for our sport, the Bucciovertimechallenge stuff, etc. No one has done more to advocate for hockey in recent memory, IMHO. The charity stuff, is pretty cool, too.

Wrong on another one with Yale losing now... Didn't pick either of those teams to advance though, so still can make it up.
Yep - I got two wrong in the first round, but had both losing game two, so my FF all made it

You expected anything else?
I could write a diatribe about the insufferable NDSU fans at the drop of a hat. I won't, as I have better things to do, and don't need to try to get people to read papers, nor promote an agenda.
