Bought tickets and booked the hotel long ago. I'm really hoping to get good games (aka, our games )

Saw a few minutes of Hermantown v Litchfield last night. Litch scored to make it a 2 goal game, and I wondered if they could get back in it... They could not. That was a beating.

Amazon is listing the knock-offs. I have a Parise Wild that is just not the right color of red. I've worn it to a couple of games, but it's pretty obvious when next to a quality one. I know your pain

I thought last year was smoother than year 1 (not like that's saying all that much). Hopefully the wristband debacle is fixed! Drinks are expensive, but they have a good variety and I believe you can take your mixed drink to your seat (I prefer beer, but the Mrs. shakes it up). As for showing your ticket; yes, every time. But, if you haven't learned to have it out for them to see by the second time you enter your section, that's on you.

I think we've already established that many on this board would trade family members, let alone coaches, for another natty. (And not just mother-in-laws, either, but family members they actually like! )

Funny the writer didn't mention the snow on the field was fake, when mentioning the snow around the rink several times. Not "we used a snow maker from a ski area" fake, but more like cotton batting. Many, many, many laughs were had in the stands about how they needed pretend snow in MN in Feb!

^^ We tried to hit Tom Reids Friday before the outdoor game, but it was closed for a private party... As in loaded with all the alumni. Quick look through the window in the door (all blinds were pulled) made it clear who was in attendance

Christian Evers went out early in the first period Saturday night in Fargo. Awkward collision with a Force player - neither saw it coming - and both got shook up. Evers however was helped to his feet to get off the ice. The way they treated him, it looked like it could've been a collarbone. He did not return. Hope the kid is OK! It was weird having Lincoln come in with 2 Sioux commits, while Fargo currently has none.

I know it's a small college, but wouldn't you think they could've found a couple guys just hanging around the gym to bring with, instead of traveling with just 5 players?

Sure is nice to be sitting back wondering if we'll get our preferred location, instead of sweating making the tourney at all!

It could help with certain fan bases that don't historically travel well when it came to their town. The NCHC would need to make sure there was adequate hotel and food/drink places near the venue, however, or risk losing some people who would travel otherwise. Yes, the first priority is hockey, but if you have to travel 1,000 miles, then deal with parking nightmares, or staying 40 minutes away because there aren't enough hotels to accommodate everyone, it could really hurt. Hotels near an arena can fill up for other events that happen to be on the same weekend, too. Imagine having it at the REA on a weekend that was a Canadian holiday (esp when their dollar was stronger). Suddenly hotels are at a premium - and I wouldn't call most "walking distance" from the arena and food and drink. Great for us, but who else would be there?

waiting for backlash from the Bison faithful about having their tradition stolen... but I doubt most of them knew the words to the song to begin with

Was such sad news to hear this morning. RIP

Laid an egg last night for sure.

Ours, as well. That free drink coupon will come in handy

I wonder how he'd have turned out playing in GF? I doubt Hak would've put up with the level of diving MN did encouraged. Maybe would have developed further in other parts of his game?

Conspiracy theory alert! It's a make-up call after they suspended one of Omaha's guys during the series played in GF, and he wouldn't be suspended except that it's against UNO.

It was amazing! I didn't take many pictures, because I was too busy watching the games - Alumni handshake and a panoramic of the Sunday game

^^^ plus, we have that tie with CC (national doesn't recognize anything after the 5 minute OT), so another CC loss hurts us a little.

Would mean our boys drop 3 straight conference games... Nope. Not buying that one. And the d@mn well better not do it, either!

Agreed. Now they get a home game on Sunday against the nemesis Blackhawks. And outdoors where the Blackhawks get a game (seems more like 3?) every year, and it'll be MN's first... I'm still excited to go to the game, but I'm more than a little guarded about the outcome.

Edit: I'm blind. Found hats and a couple other things.

Rhombus Pizza and Rhombus Brewery Taproom are different places. Both are kid friendly, however the menus are completely different! Just a heads up so you don't go to the taproom expecting pizza.

I didn't see it elsewhere in the thread (easily could have missed it), but the bookstore is letting you order a couple of the legacy items online - 1 men's shirt, 1 women's, and a couple of other items. Now that my order is placed and confirmed, I figured I'd share the news
